FenrirIII, do games w [Announcement] The community and its future
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Add links to !fallout and !skyrim too.

Elevator7009,

If we’re doing individual games, there are so many but off the top of my head !stardewvalley, !pokemon, !workersandresources, !cities_skylines, !baldurs_gate_3, and I guess !touhou even though that is mostly just reposts of other peoples’ art of the characters and nothing else because in the end, it is a video game series.

I realize hitting all the game-related communities might expand the sidebar too much. Spoilers are also useful for condensing lots of content to one dropdown. If that is still too much, you could make a whole post that lists video game communities and link to it on the sidebar. I know I collected a big mega list way back when, not the genre one I linked below, but one full of basically everything I could find video-game related… that is probably full of dead communities now because I think I made this list around 2 years ago when Kbin was still a thing with my now-dead account. So everything might fit on one separate post for now. But I definitely think having a sort of directory for video game communities might be useful and helpful.

Korhaka,

What about links for the top few, pastebin/similar list for the rest?

I think I will put like 10 5 everything, then link to a dedicated page on the git repo (I’ll try to make it a wiki so everyone can add its own)

Edit : Reduced to 5 to keep it concise as a start. I’ll put the others in a dedicated topic

Edit 2 : Fuck it, let’s put everything

Elevator7009,

Thanks! also, !tycoon

Kolanaki, do games w Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy teo longest eunning best friends.
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Nah I think they do pansexual roguelikes best. More hot roguelike characters please. Especially if they’re anthros like Asterius. :3

poppichew,

To be honest, I felt like Hades was like GOOFILY sexual. But I get why it works for most people. I just was like...wut!? People are horny for Hades folks, including my sibby. So like, it works. I just don't play games for that kind of stuff is all. I also liked their art more when it was air-brushy over the hard comic lines. Which is kind of crazy, because I like comic book art. It's just like...too much for me. My sibby grabbed Hades 2 and I can't bring myself to play it.

Also they're assholes of accessibility. It's so hard to play Hades because outside of the gauntlets you've gotta mash buttons to get through the whole damn thing. I know I am not the only one who's written to them about this, but they never gave a shit about it. I figured I was pretty much done with them because I have had such positive responses from so many indie developers on accessibility options. Which I think to be absolutely honest, should be a standard for games with larger budgets. Which they for sure had, as far as indie games go. eh.

That was a rant and a half.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@pawb.social avatar

Accessibility options are woefully limited in most games. All I personally need is a UI scaling option for larger fonts on the TV vs a monitor, but most of the games I play, the only options in there are for changing the color palette of the UI if you have 1 of 2 or 3 types of colorblindness and that’s it. Even though I am not in need of them, I do like seeing a metric fuckton of options in every single tab as I am a firm believer in more options is always better than fewer already, and this is doubly so for helping people with disabilities get some assistance to experience the game as close to intended as possible.

poppichew,

My partner has a rare type of colorblindness that makes certain comfy games completely unplayable. I wanna scream at the screen, because I wish that it were easier in this life to make things more accessible for all people in general. I sit in the same camp with you, the more the merrier when it comes to support. I get sad when I open a game, and I see nothing (cause the first thing I do is always check the options). I tend to not buy games with certain things like flashy effects, qtes, or a need for fast reflects. As you can tell, I'm not PVE-er =P!

discostjohn,

I also have a rare type of colorblindness, and it sucks when certain parts of a game are seemingly locked behind color perception. Like, if there’s going to be a reflex mechanic that necessitates a distinction between two colors, please let me customize those two colors in the options. And don’t limit it to deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia; just let me choose the fucking colors. Some games do it right, but most just assume everyone can perceive colors the same way

poppichew,

I am not sure if you even keep playing games like that but often it's those ones that end up having to get returned. Which is such a bummer, because it so easily could be solved. Most times when you reach out to the company though (or devs, which ever) unless it's a really small team they will typically ignore your requests. Any time I have had accessibility requests, without hesitation smaller teams have implemented them almost immediately. Likewise they've asked if there is anything else that I might need. I know we're getting better at accommodating people, but there are still people who believe you can just "get gud" and work through these problems. When in actuality, they game-ending experiences. Which really sucks. Thanks for sharing by the by =)

doctordevice, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #18

The effort you put into this is so impressive! What a lovely post to read.

drmoose, do games w Fixing broken Oblivion Remastered difficulty without mods?

You can’t.

Though you can try role play difficulty limitations yourself. Also, that was number one complaint in the remaster survey so its very likely to receive a patch soon.

_cryptagion, do games w What games are just objective masterpieces?

Nobody can answer that question objectively.

techt, do games w WalkScape's (RuneScape inspired fitness MMORPG) developer here, we've now released support for smartwatches on iOS & a lot of new content, and we are accepting new players to the Closed Beta!

I was accepted into the beta, but I’m unable to find the app in the store. I joined the google group, but I’m not sure what else to check. When I follow the link it shows the app in the browser, but when I try to find it with the play store app it can’t be found. Any ideas?

schamppu,

Make sure that you’re logged into Google Play with the same google account you joined the Group with. If you have more than one google account, this is very likely the cause of the issue.

techt,

Thanks for the reply! PEBKAC issue – I was logged in with the right account, but the email I requested to join the beta from was not a google account so I had to make one for this. I forgot to change the email in my Walkscape account portal to the gmail I made. All good now!

Minesweeper.

Simple, endlessly playable.

Sc00ter, do gaming w Four times the effort with half the efficacy (but ten times the fun)

I feel this.

Back when i had free time, id always log in before everyone else and handle the stuff that they were terribly inefficient at, then just basically dick around with them. When time became more of a premium, it got harder and harder to game because i wanted to play the game and not hang out in social spaces

Devadander, do gaming w It's adorable

Yep. That’s how branding works.

sunzu2,

Also how industries get monopolized

I am surprised this wasn’t ported to PC.

Totally, considering that Fable 1 and 3 got one (though i hear Fable 3’s was horrendous and later delisted from steam)

octobob, do games w Day 316 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing

I could not get fable 2 to launch at all on xenia on Arch. I didn’tolk further into it yet though, honestly I’m not sure if I can get any game to launch

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I had an issue a few years ago where Xenia itself just would not work on SteamOS 3 (which is Arch Based IRC). I think i had to fix it by going into the Launch script that Emu Deck made and telling it to use a different version of Proton

Always wanted to play this one, but never enough to buy a console.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’d suggest Xenia, but with the problems i’ve been having i’m not sure how viable that is, especially if you don’t have a high spec computer

celeste,
@celeste@kbin.earth avatar

With most games, I don't mind just watching a playthrough, but this is one I'd actually want to play. Maybe in a few more years the emulator will have fewer bugs or I'll get a cheap 360 (or a new computer ). I'd forgotten how disappointed I was back then I couldn't play it on pc!

FeelzGoodMan420, do games w Looking to get into Sonic games

I recommend these old school sonic games. They are by far the best.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Sonic the Hedgehog 3/Sonic & Knuckles

Sonic Adventure 1
