I finished Resident Evil: Village. I was a bit skeptical at first since I don’t really care for the more action RE games from 4 onward, but I ended up really enjoying it.

Other than that, I’m playing Project Diva. I’m trying to get past 8* extremes but I’m struggling with reading, especially when chords appear.

I spent a lot of time trying to set up Sound Voltex with wine and could only get it to work in Bottles using wine-ge, as otherwise gstreamer wouldn’t load the proper codecs. I ended up getting a spare drive and installing windows on it which I’ll keep around for situations like these.

Still grinding World of Warcraft: Legion Remix. Less raiding this week, I’m only clearing each raid twice a day, instead of three times, but did a couple more Mythic+ dungeons to knock out achievements.

The next phase will start in a few days, along with “new” quests, but more importantly another raid to farm every day. At that point, I’ll probably only be running the raids on the highest difficulty, and skip all the others.

Can't wait for a new generation to rediscover the exciting fun of having to survive Kil'Jaeden's balls and whatever that darkness phase is even supposed to be, despite the boss technically hitting 1 HP in 5 seconds.

Poopfeast420,

I basically skipped Legion back in the day, because of how ass the Legendary system was on launch, and never went back, so I never really did any of the raids.

I guess you mean getting knocked around by some orbs, which might instantly kill you because you fall off the platform? Stuff like that is basically the only thing that could be an issue.

From what I read in different comments, the final raid, Antorus, is supposed to have another boss, that could be a problem, Eonar.

Blizzard has actually changed one boss so far (Il’gynoth, where you have to use some blobs to blow up this big eye), although that was probably more because people deal too much damage and would regularly blow up the blobs on accident, the second they spawn, which was just annoying and extended the fight needlessly. Maybe they’ll do more changes, since you can clear these raids daily for the time of the event.

What game is this one from? The screenshot looks familiar but I can’t quite tell.

Is this like a really bad troll attempt?

impolitecarry,

I’ll try and believe in the guy to not be a troll.

It could just be bad UX from a Lemmy app. In voyager, for example, it isn’t always clear while browsing a feed, that an image post also has text in its body. But the app lets you reply from the feed view. So, you see a screenshot in your feed, tap the image instead of the post, so you just see a bigger screenshot, and there’s no hint in this view, that there might be text in the body. So, you just type up a reply from there.

It’s Max Payne 2! It’s a bit old so you may have seen it before online (or maybe even played it yourself)

I got into Poets of the Fall in a big way after Late Goodbye. Their work is fantastic and they’re brilliant live.

I’m glad Remedy have stuck with them over the years, the Herald of Darkness song from Alan Wake II was a banger.

They used Poets of the Fall way the hell back then?! I had MP1 and 2 at launch; never got into the band. But got into them because Control has that one sound booth you can listen to Dark Disquiet in and they have been in my playlist ever since. 🤣

Their work is awesome. I want to see them live. I was actually just listening to them on the way to class today.

Remedy sticking with them is something I love. Something about their work feels like authentic. I don’t mean it as a jab to songs made for video games, but a lot of the time songs made for video games have this “feel” where you can tell “yep. That’s tied to a specific game”. Something about PoTF’s work though feels like it’s an actual album

Alan Wake. And on a grander scope almost all of Remedy’s stuff. They put everything together where it feels like there’s more out there. There’s no seam in the metaphorical stitching. It feels like even when you reach the end of something there is more.

From less of a deep standpoint? The 3DS fire emblem games. They do some really cool stuff that connects them together.

Sworn, way too much Ball X Pit, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica.

Cyberpunk 2077 and Dead Cells

These games always seem like random button mashing, ftw to me. Unfair advantage to be 2 player :P

I always wanted to read a book on the first Bioshock game. I couldn’t really get into the gameplay so I never got far into it or the sequels, but I love the premise idea a lot.

thatKamGuy, do games w What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?

World of Warcraft; Azeroth (the planet) lore is quite detailed and fleshed out - building upon the foundations of the original RTS trilogy.

It’s a bit of a shame a lot of it gets swept under the rug every major expansion and patch cycle, so it’s hard for new(er) players to catch up.

False, (edited )

Even Warcraft 3 was basically a giant retcon of the first 2 games (even as plot light as they were). The series has constantly pulled new stuff out of it’s butt.

thatKamGuy,

Oh, absolutely - but a lot of perpetual/evolving media has similar issues where previous canon ends up being recontextualised, reframed or outright retconned in order to better fit the overarching story currently being told.

Sometimes it’s for the better, others for the worse (cough, Shadowlands, cough).

Still, it doesn’t stop it from being an otherwise great example of world building - evident in part by just how many people actually care about the lore!

njm1314,

Man I remember reading the the booklets that came with Warcraft 1 and 2 over and over when I was young. There was so much lore there it was awesome.

halendos, do games w What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?

Disco Elysium, such interesting and complex world building beneath the drunken detective murder mystery. Shame ZA/UM ruined everything with the devs and we probably won’t get anything else out of it.

dukemirage,

I could have listened to the rich lady‘s reality rundown for hours.

Hyper Light Drifter.

Not a word in the entire game. Still a masterpiece of storytelling.
