YamiYuki, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of December 10th

I just finished Detroit: Become Human.

I decided to play it after I upgraded my Deck’s SSD to 2TB.

And I’ve been spending a lot of time on Halo: Infinite.

You two might enjoy Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons.

Blackmist,

That’s a one player game.

@cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world avatar

I was thinking they could share the keyboard and each do one side/hand. With a wireless keyboard, they could even play while snuggled up on the couch.

Blackmist,

It’s not the controls that are the issue. It’s literally a single player game, designed for one person to play.

Have you actually played it to the end? It’s only a couple of hours, tops.

cheesymoonshadow,
@cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world avatar

Yes, I did. I remember using one hand to control each brother, hence my thinking they found each control one with a shared keyboard.

It was just a suggestion. And the fact that it’s simple and short I thought was good since she doesn’t sound like she likes intense games.

In the realm of Rhythm games and movement input: Beat Saber.

A bit of an initial investment for the VR setup, but well worth it.

Beat saber and all VR stuff is VERY bad at couch coop.

ouRKaoS,

True.

I’ve had better luck w/ Beat Saber “multiplayer” in a party type setting where there was turns being taken by 5+ people.

Keep talking & nobody explodes is perfect in VR, though, because the diffuser is in their own world.

dalakkin,

We’ve been playing Walkabout Minigolf on the Quest 3 which is fun. We take turns and play 4 holes each in a row, and during play we discuss how to approach different obstacles and where to search for hidden balls. Obviously casting to the TV while playing.

Still play SSX Tricky with my family via an emulator

Jarix,

What’s your favorite thing about that game? I still know one of the people who created it

UnPassive,

We’re competative I suppose. Grew up playing and nothing ever replaced it. There’s probably other arcade games we’d enjoy but the closest we’ve come was the Tetris Effect - but we haven’t picked that up again for a while. Tricky is one of those games that has a huge skill difference between being good and actually practicing. It’s fun, a bit janky - maybe it’s just what we know. My brother has a couple high scores on my steam deck and writing this has inspired me to go spend some time trying to beat them lol

Jarix,

Glad you are enjoying it. Any advice on getting it up and running on a steam deck? Just got one a few months ago and havent looked into emulation yet but intended to, life just got in the way and havent gone back to it yet. Maybe you can inspire me to get my some old tony hawk games running. Loved the ps era skater games

UnPassive,

Yeah, there’s something called Emudeck, it makes setup super easy. Even comes with tools to add emulated games into your steam library to launch like a regular game.

There is this one funky caveat - the PlayStation and Switch games I emulate didn’t run very well, after some research I found out that lowering the CPU cores helps a ton. And it did, they run great for me now. To do that I had to install a Deck extension called Powertools - super easy to do because Emudeck came with a user interface to install plugins, Powertools included. Anyway, with Powertools you turn off this thing called SMT and then can lower the CPU cores. Some people think it’s actually a bug in emulation or Steam Deck drivers because using less cores shouldn’t have a big impact on performance so it may not be necessary in the future.

Tons of video examples on YouTube make the install and setup super easy. Highly reccomend setting emulation up, I’ve been playing through games I never finished as a kid and it’s been great. The convenience makes it awesome

choss,

Can you thank them for defining a huge part of my childhood playtime? My siblings and I bonded over that game. We still quote voicelines from it.

Jarix,

Can do Choss

@Sa0m108181817711@lemmings.world avatar

Well there are lots of websites available on the internet but I only trust 1 website name is ModzMania and they use to have Roblox Unlimited robux Mod apk

Samir,

Thanks Bro!

simple,

Wow how convenient, a new account that never had any comments before recommending a cool totally legit new website to another new account that also had no comments before.

From the same instance no less. With similar names. Very smart.

Tenet. I know, most people would be quick to dismiss this as a movie and a mediocre one at that. I myself saw it on release and gave it a 7/10. But this isn’t actually a movie, it’s a puzzle game that you’re meant to play at home hammering the pause button while frantically trying to understand what is happening. This also increases your time with it by at least a factor of 2. 9/10

I love Nolan movies, and one of the reasons why is that all of his sci fi movies work this way. Even the ones where the world is more straight forward like The Dark Knight are fun to go back and catch all the ways the motifs are used throughout, like "a dog off his leash" and "everything burns" and a handful of others.

My time at sand rock is kind of like stardew, but 3d and I liked it better. I haven’t tried the multiplayer , but the single player was fun.

Baldur’s gate 3 is a huge game of the year smash hit. Good coop. Turn based combat. Local split screen. Probably turn the difficulty down if you don’t care for DND rules and just have fun.

Audio surf I believe has co-op. It’s a fun little toy of a game, but not very deep. You steer a car over a track generated from your music

Glemek,

I’ll look into My time at sand rock, stardew didn’t catch their interest when we were looking at trailers and such earlier tonight.

Love bg3, I think that could be in the cards maybe a game or two down the line!

Audiosurf is a blast from the past! That was one of the early games I played a lot of on steam, it might be a good low stakes option sometime.

Escape Room Simulator maybe but you need two PCs not sure how well it would run on that old laptop of yours. Also they need to be able to use first person controls and not get simulation sickness from fps games which unfortunately lots of people get who never play first person games.

Neverwinter Nights, but I'm pretty biased.

Glemek,

BG3 has been making me want to go back and play some of the earlier D&D crpgs, but it might be a miss for my partner at this point. Neverwinter Nights is based on 2nd edition right?

Sounds a bit like my partner, who doesn’t like most action games. For a game you could play together, I think you could try a “creature collector” type game, like pokemon. There are actually a lot of creature collectors, pokemon is just the most popular, but there are cheap digital games on the switch store that are made by Pokemon fans and from what I can tell are better in a lot of ways.

You can also emulate all of the old console games for free, that’s what my partner did for a bunch of Pokemon titles.

Animal Crossing sorta has 2p mode. The second player can’t walk too far from the main player and has more limited gameplay options, but it can be fun to run around and fish together.

Glemek,

I didn’t know animal crossing had local coop, they mentioned being open to animal crossing specifically today, so maybe I’ll pick it up. I haven’t played an animal crossing game since the one on the DS, I could be down to be their player 2 on it.

PRUSSIA_x86,

Every player on the same switch plays on the same island. Only one player can actually play at a time, but another can join on a separate controller and act as a sort of sidekick that can fish and pick vegetables and such. My husband and I like to split of the gardening across the island then take turns helping each other with our respective sections.

My partner is no gamer, but when it comes to playing together, she enjoyed:

Pokemon: Lets Go Pikachu

Diablo 3

Kingdom Two Crowns

Visual novel types of games, maybe? Anything from Quantic Dream, Telltale

InquisitiveApathy,

I’m in an extremely similar relationship to OP it sounds like. Any time I’ve tried to play a VN style game hasn’t been very successful. They always end up bored unless it’s crazy engaging. ‘What Remains of Edith Finch’ comes to mind as one of the successful narrative focused games I found though.
