Are you using a VPN? Your ISP may be blocking them.

spiritedpause,

I’m in the US, and as far as I know, ISPs only block websites if the federal government mandates it, in which case all ISPs would have to block it.

ArcaneSlime,

Not necessarily, they can block stuff if they want and some don’t like torrenting. Typically they just limit your speeds and send ineffective letters rather than block the site though, so it would still be weird.

Just beat the campaign for 2077 for the first time on Thursday. Been playing starfield for 2-3 min at a time hoping it won’t keep stuttering to a complete halt, but it does every time. But no matter my buddy sold me his old components after his most recent upgrade. So while it won’t hit the recommended specs it should cross the minimum and hopefully no more freezing! In the meantime bdl3, 2point hospital, battletech.

That’s the best part, you can’t

IDeserveToBeLoved,

You absolutely can. A good portion of popular trackers have periodicall open signup events. Torrentleech has fairly often open signups. It’s big so it isn’t that easy to build up your ratio when you’re a drop in an ocean, but when you do it can open doors for some more prestigious trackers, although TL should be enough in 99% of cases if you aren’t into some (less popular) niche content. Watch r/opensignups on reddit if it’s still alive and soon enough you’ll be on too many trackers.

notepass,

I think /r/opensignups closed after the blackout

Theres r/trackersignups and the telegram channel r/opensignups migrated to of the same name.

notepass,

Thanks for the info!
I just checked trackersignups and found something spicy :)

It seems like r/opensignups telegram channel is just a bot posting the contents of /r/opensignups to it. So it is dead as well.

Try searching it on telegram for the one with the deluge icon.

Kolanaki, (edited ) do gaming w What's the funniest game you've played?
!deleted6508 avatar

Disco Elysium is the most recent game that was just chock full of humor, though maybe not focused on it specifically… beyond that the only games I can even really think of that had a focus on comedy were the old LucasArts classics. Sam & Max, Full Throttle, Monkey Island… And Borderlands.

I was just thinking about how this doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore. Where are the comedic oriented games? Why is everything so damn dark, and serious and brooding nowadays?

But I haven’t played that Not-Really-Rick-and-Morty-shooter. I heard that was funny.

Agree with other commenters: this is healthy.

For me, I bought Elden Ring day one because the hype was real. It’s a good game – but not really my jam.

I explored the Yakuza series for a similar reason, and I’ve absolutely loved that. I really want to try Ishin.

I bought a PS4 Pro for RDR2. I stand by that decision, but I probably wouldn’t go that far again.

CitizenKong, do games w What game has a great story and is worth the time investment?

Baldur’s Gate has some of the best gaming moments in my recebt memory, but those are more character and story moments. On the other Hand, FFXVI has the most epic boss fights I’ve ever played, basically Kaiju beating the shit out of each others.

Got Gotham Knights on sale. After all the patches, it seems to be pretty stable and so far I’m enjoying it. It’s certainly not amazing, but for $15aud it’s pretty good. Also trying out SYNCED and I like the aesthetic so far, but gameplay/controls are a bit mushy. It also runs like a dog with pretty inconsistent FPS.

WalrusDragonOnABike, do games w What do you think is a good required completion time for video games? What examples come to mind of games that felt just right?

Have a hard time dedicating consistent time with a single game because of other things like work. So any long story-driven game is gonna be a pass for me. If I need to remember a town name, map, or a character name and its more than a couple hours, its a nope. I simply have a hard time with dedicating the time to something like that, even if I enjoy it. MMORPGs or anything with dailies have similar issues.

I mostly tend to play games where I can spend a short period of time in a session and it doesn't matter if I come back to it in months. Over the past year or so, beatsaber and Terraria are the games that have fit that bill for me the most. Have over 1500 hours in Terraria and expect that number to probably grow over in bursts over the next decade.

Astroturfed,

Been really enjoying games like Hades for the same kind of reasons.

@InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works avatar

I love Hades, one of my favorites in recent years.
The gameplay is tight and action packed, the loop is fun, not too long, yet different enough between each run.

There are still tidbits of story and lore, but nothing that really takes time away from actual action.
I guess the absolute opposite would be a Kojima game with 45 min cutscenes, which I usually bounce off hard.

Might be a weird comparison, but the pacing in Hades kinda reminds me a bit of DOOM2016. (Another game I loved.)
Although a completely different setting and top-down roguelike instead of FPS, I get the same action packed vibe out of it.

Mmm i dont think its at all a static number. What matters is trimming it down to whats important. If you can keep bringing in new game mechanics, or exploring existing ones in new and interesting contexts, or keeping me engrossed in the story, it can go as long as it wants. Like, Chrono Trigger is considered a pretty short jrpg, because its very condensed for how broad of a scope it has, but boy is it a great game. Mario Odyssey got some criticism for how many moons are in the game, but i loved getting each and every one.
