The nosalises were added to the game because shooter games need generic enemies to shoot. They don’t exist in the books, so the actual plot doesn’t mention them.

Aidinthel,

Also, blowing up the dark ones is canonically a bad idea. It’s a representation of humanity’s tendency to react with irrational fear and violence against things we don’t understand. If it seems foolish to you, congrats, you understand the point of the story.

In the book I don’t believe they were nukes, just described as a pre-war missle silo. They fire 4 into the gardens, it’s pretty clear in the games that the gardens and surrounding area are the home of the dark ones, they live really right on top of humanity. I haven’t played last light tho so I’m not sure about anything else.

Sequel expands but doesn’t really change any of that stuff. To OP I would suggest playing the next one, it might answer some of the questions.

flak, (edited )

I think it was heavily implied to be nukes in the books but never explicitly stated.

The gardens were above a station that was abandoned though, so bombing it wouldn’t do as much as if it was right over an active station.

Still playing Dysmantle, which I originally started intending it to be my background game that I’d turn on when I had only a short window to play or got bored or frustrated with my “main” game.

~40 hours later I think I’m nearing the end and dreading it because I don’t want to not have Dysmantle in my life. Ever since a played Subnautica a few years back, I’ve been looking for another game that scratches the same survival/crafting itch but with the critical components of an overall objective and calculated progression. Dysmantle is different in almost every way but it does hit those check boxes perfectly.

The gameplay loop is repetitive, but amusing enough on its own to be fun until your next upgrade, which are granted to you at just the right pace and open up new abilities to better dismantle your surroundings.

I think it’s flaws will probably hit harder for some people, but for me it strikes exactly the right chord. Luckily I still have the DLCs, and they have a spiritual sequel coming out next year that looks even more promising.

BrandoCalrissian9229,

I have firefox as it were

jessica,

That’s interesting. Less than one minute after posting this, you said you used Brave.

BrandoCalrissian9229,

indeed. I use both. I happen to have brave AND firefox on my laptop, as I’ve been making the transition to firefox the last few months. I’m entirely on firefox on my desktop, but I mainly use brave on my laptop. I used it to stream the aforementioned things on Saturday

I would be on top of a jump stars sequel/remake so fast

lksaar, do piracy w what's the best way to get F1TV in the UK?

I used to use v2.sportsurge.net/home2/ , you can usually find a working stream.

Nowadays i use sportscult.org, it’s a private tracker that also offers live tv, and i haven’t really done anything but watch f1 on there. Less ads/buffering. They have open signups every now and then.

nonearther,

Sportscult is saying I need invitation to register

@bernieecclestoned@sh.itjust.works avatar

You can buy in according to this page…

sportscult.org/index.php?page=ndonate

Is it legit?

lksaar,

I kept an eye on www.reddit.com/r/trackersignups/ (well the previous one calles r/opensignups, they open registratations every 2-4months for a couple of days usually.

I never tried donating, and it is a private tracker most foremost, torrenting replays and the likes. Live TV is just an addition, so I’d be a little weary of donating for something that isn’t the main objective of said site.

you could also try your luck asking in that weekly reddit thread for an invite, it might work out

lksaar,

They have open signups every now and then, keep an eye out for them. It prob gets posted here: www.reddit.com/r/trackersignups/

Classic it may not be, but every few years I fire up a copy of Oni, turn up my playlist of mid 90s mega-hits, and lay some smackdown on some terrorists.

Basically it’s the spatial exploration of a first person shooter with the fighting dynamics of something like Virtua Fighter.

lingh0e,

I’ll never forget the day when the movie theater I used to work at got a brand new Soul Calibur arcade cabinet. Me and my coworkers put more money into that game than the customers ever did.

Voldo was the shit.

Voldo was great. Total nightmare fuel. I think there’s a strong cast of characters. Yoshimitsu was one of my favourites to play for the sword-pogo stick move.

WWE 2007 smackdown vs raw! My custom character was as tall and buff as can be, had red skin, had the skill set of ray mysterio and loved hell in the cell matches.

sandriver,

How does the PSP version compare to the PS2 version? Play! doesn’t emulate it properly.

Fizz,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

Not sure I played the ps2 version.

You really should get Saturn emulation running, because as far as fighting games went, the sheer variety of games on the Saturn were STUNNING.

Battle Arena Toshinden Remix
Dead or Alive
Fighters Megamix
King of Fighters ('95 and '97)
Last Bronx
Marvel Super Heroes
Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge
Samurai Showdown IV
A bunch of Street Fighter games
Toshinden S
Toshinden Ultimate Revenge Attack
Virtua Fighter
Virtua Fighter Remix
Virtua Fighter 2
Virtua Fighter Kids
Virtual On

sandriver,

Fighters Megamix is a classic. I love the weird old games with big rosters and a cheerful vibe. I don’t think any other game lets you pit a Daytona car against a giant mascot sculpture.

drspod,

A bunch of Street Fighter games

SF Zero 3 (called Alpha 3 in the West) is my favorite. Zero 2’ (Alpha 2 Gold in the West) is also very good.

SF Collection has a great port of Super Turbo along with the aforementioned Zero 2’.

Marvel Super Heroes vs Street Fighter and X-Men vs. Street Fighter are also well worth a play.

Probably The Last Blade 2 for Neo Geo and Tekken 3 for the PSX. The former I actually ended up playing it on an emulator but it’s still worth mentioning because it’s such a great gem of a game. Here are some of the super moves just to give you a taste but there’s also match footage of top players on Youtube if you want. And you can also play it on Fightcade for free.

Tekken 3 needs no introduction, I think. Considered by many to be one of if not the best entry in the series.
