Big_Boss_77, do games w I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon.

Very seldom is anything dialed in right out of the box. No copium in my book, getting the game perfect is the whole point of pc gaming.

shiroininja,

Yeah, it’s part of the fun.

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

TBH I’m kinda surprised the game doesn’t run maxed out without problems. I know the IGPU wasn’t the greatest back then, but it wasn’t that bad.

My current laptop has a 96 eu iris Xe IGPU and it runs a LOT of games very well.

Looks incredible but reminder that Microsoft is currently a priority target of the BDS boycotts. This is my most anticipated game of the past few years and I’m holding off until they divest.

Maybe I’m bitter, but I’m still not ready to forgive them for their treatment of Mick Gordon. Plus, they’re part of Microsoft Studios, who are now openly okay with genocide.

I was in college at our on campus cafe with a fellow student. we were both majoring in software development and were having a discussion about parent child processes.

he was of the mind that it’s ok to kill the parent and orphan the children, and I said if the parent dies the children also have to be killed.

one of the other students nearby heard what we were talking about and gathered her things and yelled at us. “You people make me sick! they’re people! you can’t go killing children or parents because it’s morally wrong!”

come to find out she was a theology major and just didn’t understand wtf we were talking about.

Sounds like another success for id. I’m curious how players (as in general public) who liked 2016 but didn’t vibe with Eternal feel about it in a few months to a year. I’ll guess I’ll keep an eye out on those discussions.

There’s truly nothing else like it on the market right now, especially in today’s overly sanitized, pussy ass snowflake-infested gaming landscape.

Bruh…

simple,

The downside of opencritic is that the barrier to entry is so low you eventually get stupid quotes like that.

I’m glad he found an extremely rare example of a game that doesn’t offend his delicate sensibilities, I guess? I’m sure it’s not easy being a REAL MEN’s MAN these days.

Rai, do games w Highlighting Smaller gaming channels

Brutalmoose (moose2 on YouTube) is the comfiest channel I’ve ever watched and the community he’s cultivated is excellent and full of nice people. He plays a lot of retro and fairly unknown games. He set up a bingo system where he draws a number, plays a game (starting with Windows 98) for 15 minutes, then everyone watching decides whether to play another 15 minutes or pass and draw another number+game. “Bingo98” was the first. It’s excellent and very funny.

Not sure what qualifies as small-medium. I have appreciated Let’s Game It Out (6.02M subs), ymfah (1.19M subs), Tech Rules (432K subs), MartSnacks (80.1K subs). All focusing on cool gaming content, no being A YouTube Personality who shows their face and tries to form a parasocial relationship with you.

Let’s Game It Out seems to focus on !tycoon type games, maybe !citybuilders and tries to mess with or break the game. ymfah takes on some interesting self-imposed challenges in FromSoftware and Bethesda games and I think some of them are really well-put-together and funny, particularly Skyrim No Walking which comes with narrative arcs. Tech Rules explains stuff, kind of a video essay thing. MartSnacks basically has three videos of self-imposed challenges with Pokémon and does not seem to upload too often.

Anything below 1M subs, but thanks for the recommends. Also, What about RTS games ?

Elevator7009, (edited )

I am lucky I was able to give you what I did. Not a big video watcher. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. Have been meaning to get into RTS more but I have not actually played that many and have seen 0 videos about them, so I’m doubly unqualified to help you with that.

The YouTube algorithm is helpful to me because it knows I only click on gaming videos amongst a few other things. I just never ever clicked the annoying Person SLAMS Person outrage bait type stuff, and I also never clicked Not Interested on them (not sure if YouTube would actually listen, or if it would know by me bothering with “Not Interested” that topic pisses me off to see in recommends and thus it would conclude it ought to show it to me more), so it was forced to only show me the only stuff I engaged with at all: stuff I liked. So sometimes it feeds me nice niche gaming videos. I don’t watch frequently enough to exhaust its recommendations into being repeats of stuff I’ve already seen. It might (not sure) help that I also stuff gaming videos into my Watch Later playlist. This is what I did and I am not entirely sure it will work for you, but hey, it’s how I found literally all of these videos. Eventually sometimes it shows me cool stuff by the same person.

Zależy od kręgu, jeśli chodzi o ludzi skupionych wokół wolnego internetu w Polsce to masz głównie osób z środowisk lewicowych, czyli tutaj to jest taka większość, ale patrząc na Polskę ogółem jest to mniejszość. Ja sam jestem mega krytycznym gościem, nie boję się mówić nawet prawdy na temat własnych przekonań i często mi się za to obrywa. Jednak na Fediverse jest mało hejtu w porównaniu do FB czy innych korpomediów.

gaylord_fartmaster, (edited ) do games w Day 296 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing

I’m playing through Morrowind for the first time right now (past a few hours in at least), and I’ve been blown away at just how much more interesting of a plot and setting it has compared to everything Bethesda ever made after it. The miss chance, spell fail chance, and non-regenerating magicka were always enough to scare me away before, but I finally understood what a huge impact fatigue has on everything, and how much more terrible you are at low-level skills compared to their later games.

I also like the progression of my character walking around slow as shit at level 1 taking forever to get anywhere vs running around at 30mph jumping from canton to canton in Vivec like it’s nothing now.

marlowe221,

I maintain that Morrowind has the best lore and main quest story Bethesda has ever written.

zależy od opinii.

Jeżeli np. weźmiemy pod uwagę politykę oraz religię

nadal ogólnikowo, i nie da się postawić jednej odpowiedzi na wszystko, co można podciągnąć pod “politykę i religię” – zwłaszcza że ludzie chętnie pod nie podciągają bigoterię. masz nakreślone reguły społeczności na stronie głównej, i one będą chyba dobrym punktem startowym.

noodlejetski,

Czyli w sumie zależy od opinii większości

tak, dokładnie jak w każdej grupie społecznej, w tym znajomych – większość się ze sobą na jakimś poziomie zgadza (bo tworzy grupę), czasem ktoś wyrazi opinię, z którą inni się nie zgadzają i chcą ją przedyskutować albo nie, a czasem palnie się coś takiego, że inni nie chcą już się z Tobą więcej zadawać. i jak w każdej grupie – wszystko zależy od tego, jaka to opinia

Looking at the game’s minimum requirements, I’m not sure I how well my available hardware will work. Granted, it’ll probably be some time before I play the game unless there’s a free demo available. I’m more of a patient gamer type and I still haven’t played through Eternal yet (and may not).

Honestly, from the descriptions and reviews I’ve seen, Dark Ages game play style sounds like it’s a sharp turn away from Eternal, which means it might be more my thing. Granted, I’m also seeing a lot of folks saying it’s super heavy into story telling and cut scenes. Not that I have a big problem with those things, but I enjoy that they’re kind of light in earlier entries of this series.

comically_cluttered, (edited ) do gaming w What are the best gaming moments of the last decade?

Not For Broadcast, Day 296: The Heatwave.

It starts off with a slight shift in tone from the earlier broadcasts, you feel the tension ramping up, and then you know exactly what’s coming, but it’s still a fucking gut punch no matter what choice you make.

Honestly, that entire game has so many of these moments, but that’s probably the one that’s stuck with me most.

(The Lockdown episode also had a lot of “what the fuck is even happening” moments pretty much every time something new happened, so I want to just give that an honorable mention. I often find myself singing “Mr. Bear (What’s That Over There?)” for literally no reason whatsoever.)

Advanced access costs 20 Euro on top of the already overpriced price, in order to be able to play it two days in advance.

slaneesh_is_right,

People who pay for early access are even worse than pre-order people.

Skrufimonki,

It’s their fuckin money! Who gives a fuck if they waste it?

Blah blah it incentivises companies to keep doing early access… well guess what they ain’t going to stop.

Saying people are bad because they want to spend their money on early access, now that’s someone I judge.

Get over it.

slaneesh_is_right,

Chill out, you can pre-order whatever you want, you’re still an idiot for doing it.
