Fallout: New Vegas, because it’s been like a decade and I want to play again, especially after watching the series.

Took a while for me to get back into it (and figure out the right mods and settings for me), and I’m still feeling a little bit of that overwhelming “fuck, there’s maybe too much shit to do”, but I’ll just chill with it for now.

Edit: LOOOOOOL. Legion already hates me and I haven’t even met (and killed) Caesar yet. Barely even started the main quest at this point, which I suppose is tradition with Fallout, to be fair.

Next up he could learn to ask for help. I bet Let Me Solo Her is still out there

Unfortunately, Let Me Solo Her has retired

Ouch… I am happy you were able to share such a defining moment of happiness with your kiddo.

this game. One of his most recent meltdowns

I try to help my kids understand it’s a game for fun. If you’re no longer having fun, you stop playing.

I’ve expressed this many many times to him over the years. I’ve said something like “I want to play games to have fun. If the game isn’t fun for me, then I will not play it anymore”.

I believe that he understands this. However, he just wanted so much to understand Elden Ring and beat it.

Personally, Elden Ring is NOT fun to play and that’s why I don’t play it.

I’m just astounded that my 8-10 year old son persevered so much to beat it.

ryannathans,

Elden Ring and Dark Souls games are not fun to play per se, but it’s very rewarding due to the difficulty and skill required. That sense of accomplishment is why a lot of people play, even if it’s not explicitly fun to keep dying and restarting. Not everyone’s cup of tea for sure but many good lessons and skills to be learned playing it

Don_alForno,

I’m in my 30s. I’m gradually getting calmer. But seriously, if a game doesn’t induce the urge to throw objects around the room from time to time, it probably won’t make my list of favourites.

Boop beep I got delete. .

julianh, do gaming w Controller help

I use a switch pro controller regularly on mint, so it should work. I believe support got merged into the kernel a while back.

If not, joycond also works (although it’s a bit janky in my experience): github.com/DanielOgorchock/joycond

sleepybisexual,

Thank you.

I thought all switch stuff needed that fancy driver.

What about PlayStation controllers?

Playstation controllers work for. I’ve tried ps4 and ps5 ones with no issues.

OmanMkII,

Yeah ps4 works a charm, the hard part for me was figuring out why an Xbox controller didn’t. Turns out some of the older models had deprecated Bluetooth that it couldn’t connect to, so went with a ps4 one instead.

sleepybisexual,

Oki :3

Now I guess I just gotta find some good fighting games

Fallout 4 because of the Amazon series

They need to bring back the thing where you move the control stick left and right during drift to build up boost

Sounds like somebody's playing with tilt controls.

Awuh, does somebody keep losing? It’s ok champ, you’ll get em eventually

It’s easily the best in the series

slaacaa, do games w I just learned an interesting piece of gaming history that most people might not know about. (Xbox Live Arcade on original Xbox)

Nice find, I completely forgot. I remember either me or a friend having the XBLA disc, but I never even connected my original XB to the net, so I never used it, I just played offline.

Great console btw, funnily it was the one that turned me from PC to consoles, so I could play the newest Mortal Kombat with friends. I since switched mostly to Playstation, but always had some kind of XB from every gen.

It really hurts to see how MS dropped the ball with the console since, after doing the impossible and narrowly outselling Sony with the 360. I really though GamePass might turn the tide in their favor again, but as Sony now has a similar service, it seems to have not.

Sounds like your TV is extra reflective. 🤷🏼‍♂️

As someone who 100%ed it on Wii U and Switch (DLCs included) I do not agree with you

thingsiplay, do gaming w Mariokart 8 Sucks.

What do you mean its not polished? Any example to what you mean by that?

handofdumb, do gaming w Mariokart 8 Sucks.

For what it’s worth, I’ve played a lot of this game. My wife and I are even playing it now!

I just wish it felt like someone cared about this game, from a developer perspective.

unfnknblvbl,

Are you talking about MK8 on the WiiU, or MK8 Deluxe on the Switch?

For what it’s worth, I’ve only played the WiiU one, and I really enjoy it. It’s go as far as to say it’s the only Mario Kart I’ve really enjoyed. I don’t have a Switch, so I can’t talk to that version.

thingsiplay,

I don’t think the person is here to discuss, otherwise would respond to any of the replies and questions. It’s just a post out of frustration. I feel like wasting my time again.
