There’s !nomanssky but it’s not super active. You’re bound to find some fans in the general gaming communities like this one though.

I’m new to Lemmy BTW.

Welcome!

Ah, Halo… the main image that showed up in my feed looked almost like part of Mass Effect 1, but the vehicle wasn’t right.

Same generation, but Mass Effect has a remaster, Legendary Edition. It’s been on sale on Xbox for $6 USD a couple times (what I paid for it)… and that’s for all three.

While I suppose they are technically three games, the intended use of the product is for you to import your clear save from the previous one to start 2 and 3. Your decisions from previous ones carry forward, even minor choices in the first one playing out in the third one.

For straight shooting, Halo wins, particularly against Mass Effect 1 and 3, but I think Mass Effect 2’s shooting was competitive to shooters contemporary to it. Though, it and 3 are a bit more like Deus Ex or Star Wars where you have tech/magic stuff you can do in addition to the guns. I tend to stick to pistols and assault rifles, but I’m known to throw a bit of magic here and there, especially the ones that eat shields.

As far as Halo, I only completed the first one (and did it on PC with keyboard/mouse). Played the first couple maps of the third one on Xbox, never could get the hang of it though. Only single player, never multi.

Loved the game, but… we don’t talk about that cow scene…

macncheese,

I can’t stop thinking about the last time you straighten up the fishmonger’s shop! 😂

Ooh how exciting.

I’m tempted, but I’d want to share in the fun with my kid. Anyone who’s played it, What’s the youngest you’d recommend?

MurrayL,

I wouldn’t say it’s suitable for kids - there’s a lot of innuendo and crude visual gags. Mid/late teens probably fine, but it’ll depend on your tolerance.

Defectus,

I played it with my 6year old. She absolutely loved it! And so did I.

Gradually_Adjusting,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah? Admittedly I’m calibrated to the 80s version of what “PG-13” meant. What was the most risque bit? Mine is pretty comfortable with non sexual nudity and rude humour, but anything sexually explicit he’s probably not ready.

dustyData,

There’s a couple of raunchy jokes. One implies a fish is a man’s penis, and he orgasms when you slap the fish repeatedly. There’s the cow you milk with a motion that imitates male masturbation. Also a couple of body horror stuff that look like an anus you enter into a fleshy intestine like cavern. Lot’s of sexual innuendo in dialogue jokes. Definitely not a kid’s game. Maybe play it first, it is a short game, and gauge if it is proper for your kid before playing it with them. Since the game is linear and most interactions are not optional. It’s more like teen immature humor.

Defectus,

Very good explanation. My kid didn’t pick up any of that luckily. But there are defiantly some obscene scenes.

Thunderbird4,

That guy who lives in the dumpster definitely shows full frontal nudity at a couple points.

Gradually_Adjusting,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

I might wait a year, based on what I’m hearing. He’s already got a weird sense of humour compared to kids his age, I should probably cool it.

Honytawk,

As soon as they can hold a controller and know somewhat about what a game is.

The controls are moving in a direction, jump and slap. And you can’t do anything wrong at all.

macncheese,

Some of the humor is quite adult but not explicit. I’d expect a lot of it to go over a kid’s head tbh and they’d probably laugh at the silliness. But you, the adult, know what you’re truly laughing at. And if you’re okay with that then the choice is yours.

gasgiant, do games w Thank Goodness You're Here - most absurd & hilarious game what did I just play?

Brilliant, original game.

Certainly never thought I’d play a game with “On Ilkla Mooar Baht 'at” as part of the soundtrack!

FoxFairline, do games w Thank Goodness You're Here - most absurd & hilarious game what did I just play?

One of the voiceactors has a crazy comedy podcast thats been running for ages called Regular Features.

Can recommend if you like the humor, since one of the devs is a fan of that show and got inspiration from it.

calamitycastle,

Said voice actor also runs a pub in Nottingham, the King Billy! And now I must depart BUZzzzzzz

macncheese,

I listened to an episode last night and it tickles the same absurd funny bone, loved it! I feel like there’s a touch of the absurd or whimsy in the British humor that I respond to, even though not being British I often don’t understand some references. Case in point, I love the podcast Three Bean Salad.

BurnedDonutHole,

Thank you. And a fuck you to the main op from the deepest parts of my heart for not adding the link.

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s weirdly aggro for something it’d take you, like, 2 minutes at most to look up and find for yourself. You don’t need to rely on OP or anyone else to do it for you.

BurnedDonutHole,

First of all you should stop being offended for others. Second I’m not relying on anyone. It’s a thing of convince and it’s the proper thing to do, reference your subject. According to you we should all do our 3 minute research on internet when reading an article, paper, website or book to find the appropriate sources instead of the op should provide… I wonder what kind of a world we would be living in… So, kindly you can and anyone is thinking like you can fuck off as well!

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@lemmy.ca avatar

I’m sorry that you’re having such a bad day that you feel that you need to take it out on other people with such aggression. Perhaps you should go for a walk and clear your head.

fartographer,

I’m having an okay day, but primarily struggling with my ADHD and, therefore, time management. I’d appreciate any suggestions to feel a little bit better.

SlurpingPus,

Brew some tea, add a slice of lemon, cozy up in a chair or sofa. Put on relaxing music.

lmmarsano,

Not providing a link on the web creates a scavenger hunt which is bad form.

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@lemmy.ca avatar

Is it really a scavenger hunt to open Steam, open the store, and search for the game? It takes minimal effort…

MrScottyTay,

Chill my dude, that kind of unwarranted aggression isn’t going to be good for your health

BurnedDonutHole,

Nahh it lets me release all my bottled up anger.

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s unhealthy. It makes you an unpleasant person to be around, and I hope you don’t treat people in person the way you’ve treated people here.

BurnedDonutHole,

You can fuck right off too… To be honest I’m a very pleasant person in real life. However we both know you’ll think I’m lying and I defend myself by saying you can fuck right off. I wish you a good day/afternoon/evening/night depending on your location.

Snowpix,
@Snowpix@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah, that tracks. It’s a lot easier to be a dick on the internet than to be a dick to someone face to face where there might be actual consequences. I’m sure you’re a very pleasant and not at all toxic person. Definitely.

P1nkman,

Don’t you know that all the good people will always tell you they’re good people?

lmmarsano,

It makes you an unpleasant person to be around

nah, it’s refreshing

and I hope you don’t treat people in person the way you’ve treated people here.

I hope we have better things to care about

The ending was pretty great, and I darn near slapped everyone and thing I could. Not the least bit replayable but extremely memorable and enjoyable!

macncheese,

That endless song! And the gummy was kicking in…I could have broken that clock for ages.

ajoebyanyothername,

Oh dear oh dear, it’s really brok

pbjelly,

Every now and then, I yearn for something a bit silly and light and I’ll pop it on for half an hour. I haven’t fully replayed it more than twice though haha.

I watched Game Grumps play this game a while back and found it very funny. Certainly a labor of love

It’s unfortunate they never finished it. 2 eps then poof. Game is right up their alley with the humor.

Zahille7,

I was also disappointed by that.

Thankfully RTGame has a full playthrough and stream VOD uploaded. It’s actually who I watched play it first and I instantly fell in love

Honytawk,

But why? The game is like 2 hours long at most.

I can imagine between Game Grumps, The Grumps, Ninja Sex Party, the extra Patreon content, and other schedules, they can get quite busy lol.

Discovering the open source remix of 1997’s Total Annihilation was a gaming highlight of 2025 for me.

The game I’m speaking of is Beyond All Reason.

beyondallreason.info

mohab, (edited ) do games w What are your gaming highlights of 2025?

Not much new for me this year.

I had a lot of fun with Soulstice, Assault Spy, Hi-Fi Rush, and Hellsinker.

NieR:Automata, The Surge, Death Stranding, and Scarlet Nexus were disappointing.

Every time I stepped ever so slightly outside my comfort zone I ended up regretting it. I will still flirt with action RPGs, but no more open world or soulslikes. If relatively linear action is not the core, I’m out.

Next year, I intend to invest more in indie action games. Currently eyeing Genokids, Spirit X Strike, and No Straight Roads 2. Also indie shmups: currently, Devil Blade Reboot, Birdcage, and Gunvein are on my wishlist.

For fighting games, I intend to get into Granblue next year. Possibly also Melty Blood and Blazblue.

Looking forward to fleshing out my library with more of my favorite genres.

I played a decent number of games this year, and a lot of games that have huge fan bases. God of War 2018, Bloodborne (my first ever soulslike), Baldur’s Gate 3, Disco Elysium, and more. But the one that keeps gnawing at me is Subnautica

I remember when it was in early access I watched Markiplier play it, and it piqued my interest enough that it was the first time I ever bought anything in early access. Which is very unusual for me (I think the only other time I’ve done that was Hades, which was also great). I played through as much of the game as there was at the time, or at least as I could find. Which was still mostly in the safe shallows, no deep areas. Still out in a dozen hours or so and was satisfied given the price so I moved on.

In 2024 i recommended it to my wife, who loves marine biology and base building games. She, in turn loved the game and I watched her play through it. I got to see all of the deep areas. After watching her play it and the DLC I got the itch to go back to it, so I started a new file in late 2024.

By mid-January 2025 I was about halfway through that file. My wife visiting her friend in another city, so I had the house to myself, I think I took some PTO too. Single-digit temperatures Farenheit outside. My wife had taken our only car, so I was loaded up with plenty of weed, drinks, food, and snacks. So I had a few days to focus and finish that first file. I had such a great time I did something else I almost never do: I immediately started a new file to play it again. While I had so much fun, I also learned so much and had so many ideas of what I could have done better. Better places to build based, exploring in a different order, knowing all the great spots to farm resources and get blueprints and everything.

So I played through again. The soundtrack is phenomenal synthwave that perfectly suits the game, but by the time I had built my cyclops and was ready to plunge down into the depths I was also ready for a new soundtrack. I put on one of my favorite albums, which is also one of the most appropriate: Oceanic, by Isis.

I strongly recommend this to anyone who likes Isis or Subnautica. Just absolutely sublime. It’s like peanut butter and chocolate.
