Chocrates, do games w What games have the best mining/smelting/forging components?

Vintage Story. It is a survival game built by former Minecraft modders. It has pretty detailed metal crafting. You have to forge your items and then shape them on an anvil

simple,

On one hand I love vintage story’s focus on realism, on the other hand crafting and smelting stuff takes forever I sometimes wish it were as simple as minecraft. It’s cool the first few times but if I have to make another pot or heat up my metals and wack them a million times I’m going insane.

Definitely what OP is looking for, though.

Chocrates,

I agree, if it was that alone it would be fantastic imo but the hostile fauna AND the Lovecraft demons that spawn make it so frustrating sometimes. Being unable to find tin and dieing to wolves an hour away from base (with no stock way of finding your body) is what made me stop my last run and I haven’t picked it up in about a year.

alokir, do gaming w What is the most terrifying RTS game unit to be up against?

Basic builder units. You commit genocide against an entire civilization but leave one of these fuckers alive and 20 minutes later you’re facing en entire army.

TaviRider,

I’d prefer a commander from Supreme Commander. It can raise an entire military by itself, and it’s much hardier than basic builders. It’s deadly up close. Even if you somehow defeat it, your reward is a nuclear explosion.

Rednax,

I remember the matches where you transport drop you commander into the enemy base, so both your and their commander blow up inside their base. The hardest part was getting the game rules past the eyes of your friends while setting up the game.

Starburn,

In Total annihilation you could pick up the enemy commander. So you’d pick up one enemy commander and fly him over to another commander and hit ctl K.

caut_R, do games w I would like to enjoy Zelda BOTW but …

The weapon breaking is annoying, even in TotK still. It‘d be more bearable if you could at least repair broken stuff at a blacksmith or something, but as it is, I’m scared to lose my cool stuff to a buncha gremlins. So I‘m hoarding the good stuff and cope with poor throw-away weapons…

It‘s a bit like the „elixiers“ situation in old FF games: Game‘s over and you have 22 unused elixiers you saved for when you really need them.

AndreyAsimow,

There are some special weapons that you got from story quests that are repairable. Even rusty weapons can be repaired.

cmysmiaczxotoy, do piracy w With PLEX blocking Hetzner Hosting, I'm thinking of Moving to Jellyfin, but I have some questions.

Jellyfin can’t block media. The connections are direct. Jellyfin db performance is noticeably slower than plex with 500k media items but it can still handle it

FeelzGoodMan420, (edited ) do piracy w Is torrentgalaxy blocking users with adblock?

A quick 2 second google of literally this exact issue and website shows to force update ublock origin lists btw.

Click purge all caches, then click update now. That usually fixes issues like these in websites. Not sure why.

Neuromante,

Dang dang dang! We have a winner here!

Honestly, I got no idea were to find info about this situation (didn’t google censor this stuff?). Thanks!

FeelzGoodMan420,

I don’t think Google censored it at all considering I found the answer in 5 seconds lolol.

Yeah, no. Microsoft can get bent at 43.625° angle.

ruckblack, do piracy w A way to disable laugh tracks?

Have you considered how awkward King of Queens would be without the laugh track? With the actors pausing for laughter every 45 seconds?

ColeSloth,

You don’t even have to imagine it. Do a youtube search for clips with laugh tracks removed. They exist and it really makes watching it weird.

reverendsteveii,

I’ve never done king of queens but friends and big bang theory without the laugh tracks are almost David Lynch levels of unsettling

PM_ME_FEET_PICS, do games w What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending?

Fallout 1. During the term to the Master there is a 200 second countdown.

If you fooled up the speech check or want to do it differently and reload a save that was made after the countdown started then the countdown drops to 50 seconds. Making the fight impossible to do in time.

Mr_Buscemi,

I think you just helped me solve why I never finished it when I was 8 lol.

I was at the ending but was never able to finish it before the countdown ended. Now I need to install the game again!

mnglw, do gaming w Are there still any solid, updated minecraft modpacks around?

hey I know this is offtopic but have you migrated your mojang account to a Microsoft account? if you didn’t yet, please do so now otherwise your account will be deleted soon, like very very soon, September 19th kind of soon

I know, it sucks, we all hate it but since you mentioned 10 years ago I figured I’d give you and anyone else reading this a reminder

KaijuKoala,

I owned Minecraft Java and Bedrock. I migrated the Java to a new account and now have two copies of each.

Yeah, did a couple years back. Had to re-buy it because I was like 11 or something when minecraft blew up and i initially got it and had no chance of recovering all the info I needed.

Oneeightnine, do games w What are some good funny games/mods out there?

The Stanley Parable, although it couldn’t be further from High on Life in terms of its comedy. Personally I don’t love the game but it’s absolutely hilarious.

Fun fact: There’s a fan-made Unity port of the Stanley Parable for PS Vita

@azalty@jlai.lu avatar

I tried the game and it really wasn’t a fun experience for me. It’s just an overpriced walking simulator with some not really funny dialog playing.

All I did was trying to find bugs because I wanted to uninstall after 30 mins, when I figured out it’s not just the start that is slow, it’s the entire “game”

Oneeightnine,

I mean yeah, it’s absolutely that.

Callie, do games w Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?
@Callie@pawb.social avatar

I don’t mind if they need to patch the game after launch to fix issues. you can only find so much with a QA team, the mass market is really helpful for finding issues you’d never be able to find as a team of 20 or 50 if they’re being generous.

I do absolutely despise live-service games with no choice for offline play. Diablo 4 is a more recent, prime example of this. servers went offline for a day or two IIRC, no one could play the game they payed money for, at a premium price at that. the biggest issue is that it puts a life-span on your games and I don’t think any media should have that.

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

This one doesn’t usually get mentioned when people talk about good story: Borderlands 2. (1 is dry, 3 is stupid)

It’s light-hearted so I think people don’t take it seriously, but if you look past the fart jokes, and really pay attention. You get one of the BEST villains ever, and some real emotional moments.

lingh0e,

The Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep was a great continuation of the main storyline as well.

Rhynoplaz,

As a long time D&D fan, I geeked out through the whole thing! So much fun!

lingh0e,

Did you play Wonderlands?

bionicjoey,

Wonderlands is great. First good Borderlands game since Tales IMO

Rhynoplaz,

I did. I enjoyed it, but didn’t replay it like I did with BL2.

d3Xt3r, do gaming w Looking for games with unique core mechanics

Katamari Damacy - The objective is to roll a ball-like thing called a katamari, to roll up objects, and make the katamari bigger and bigger. You can roll up anything from paper clips and snacks in the house, to telephone poles and buildings in the town, to even living creatures such as people and animals. Once the katamari is complete, it will turn into a star that colors the night sky. Sounds weird, but it’s super fun, trust me. Plus, it’s soundtrack is kickass.

GrayBackgroundMusic,

Great soundtrack too

TheBurlapBandit, do gaming w What's the funniest game you've played?

Yakuza 0 hands down. Some of the side stories had me in stitches.
