When I was a kid, computer games for consumers were a concept of science fiction.

I’m in my 40’s. The dad of one of my childhood friends is in his 60’s. He (the dad) grew up playing arcade games. He’s not just still playing them, that man and his boomer disposable income has had like every console that’s ever been made. He passes previous Gen consoles on to families in his community that he knows have little income when the next Gen comes out.

He’s not just still playing games, he’s promoting them for the people least likely to be able to play

There are certain video games that I feel like I’ve outgrown, but I will never outgrow video games as a whole. That’s like saying you’ll outgrow movies.

billwashere,

Yeah this is a good one.

agressivelyPassive,

I wouldn’t say that. At some point, you may just lose interest. I used to be playing all day, but during my 20s interest faded and now in my 30s, I maybe play some old games for a few hours here and there, but more for nostalgia. If I couldn’t play any games anymore, I wouldn’t say I would be terribly sad.

Maybe it’s different for you. People are different, after all.

Thorry84,

I think I may be have outgrown movies, it’s that or almost all of the movies in the past 5 years have been total crap.

Hmmm nah I don’t think I’ve outgrown movies, I think it’s the total crap thing.

    Sorry, i replied on the wrong comment.

    To your point, I’ve found storytelling to become fairly predictable as I age. Not that I didn’t watch shows or movies anymore. There’s a comfort in knowing what comes next and enjoying the art of visual storytelling and good acting. It also makes shows/movies that defy expectation that much better. Not “subvert expectations done poorly” like later seasons of GoT. More like (Andor spoilers)

    ! when Nemik dies. I know Cassian is the Reluctant Hero™. I know he’ll need a catalyst to galvanize his will and purpose. As soon as Nemik came on screen with his fresh face and youthful enthusiasm I thought “yeah he dies by the end of ACT II, and Cassian will be so moved by his sacrifice he’ll become a rebel”. But he died and Cassian was all “Yeah that sucks. Gonna take my money and bail.” !<

    I would put this in a game as an untracked quest except if you really dig around it was actually someone that killed the parent and started living as him so if you revert save and keep him alive eventually the kid will show up and some manner of altercation will happen depending on how you completed relevant tracked quests

    I would just subtly add pressure to turn the main character into a necromancer, resurrecting the good people they killed and trying to make good on their wrongs, whilst slowly succumbing to the dark magic that will ultimately consume them and turn them into the worst bloodmage villain that teletubbyland has ever seen

    I and all my adult children play computer games. I started playing when I was about 6. This graphic is me.

    Closest I’ve come to this is how I’ve overplayed the few games I’ve been playing recently and it’s started to become boring because of it. Though, I think I’ve ended up addicted enough to where I couldn’t fully quit games as a hobby, even if I wanted.

    Well I’m 53 and my wife is 56 and it hasn’t happened to us yet.

    Peppycito,

    I’m 47 and I did.

    I’ve been a gamer since the 70s. Started with pong, Atari 2600, Atari 800 with basic… Compute magazine where games weren’t included on media, it was 5 pages of code you had to type in to play the game …

    I keep telling young people the reason you have these awesome titles today is because of my generation playing fucking pac man.

    I love hearing about the development of the old arcade games. It was truly the wild west. Uncharted territory.

    I grew up playing a lot of them on my dad’s Atari 2600, early DOS ports, and whatever arcade cabinets were still around through the 90s.

    It’s not a phase, dad!

    Mathazzar, do gaming w Just finished binging the Fallout show, would recommend

    I have many negative options of this show. Ultimately, while Lucy was…okay… Norm and chet had my favorite dynamic and didn’t act like complete morons most of the time.

    They seemed to have set out with the intention of making the BoS a slapstick comedy rayher than a serious player consisting of intelligent humans. Especially Knight Titus and Maximus felt like horribly written characters.

    I understand them going for humor but… I feel the slapstick nature of it really took away my enjoyment of it.

    While fallout has had humor in it, I felt it was backseat to the actual atmosphere of its story of surviving the wasteland. In the series, slapstick seems to be all it is.

    Also I don’t understand why they added the thing about ghouls.

    sploosh, do gaming w You want the one that's not compensating

    Pretty sure the word you’re looking for is “mice.”

    Anticorp,

    Meeses.

    CrowAirbrush,

    Misen.

    Moose

    Ptsf,

    Mice is likely the correct term as it’s what was coined by the inventor, but common English often accepts both interchangeably. techtarget.com/…/If-youve-got-more-than-one-of-th…

    CrayonRosary,

    English be like

    House → Houses
    Blouse → Blouses
    Grouse →Grouses
    Mouse → Mice

    Native speakers be like “It’s mice you fool! How do you not known that?”

    Maybe one day. But that day is not today.

    I hope the dev gets backfired for that, i hate that word, but, which game?

    Pechente,

    I found the link to the specific review: steamcommunity.com/id/karlino99/…/951930/

    givesomefucks,

    So it’s a free “game” where you type a word that pops up?

    Wonder what the grift is.

  • QuantumSparkles,

    Honestly if it’s a game where the difficulty is structured around teaching you a skill then the the devs response is actually kinda on point (while also funny). It’s like someone submitting a complaint that the piano is too difficult and the skill bar should be lowered so that they shouldn’t have to just practice and learn to play like everybody else. But I could be wrong (I usually am)

    ech,

    There’s zero indication that was their comment, though. All they said was they commented “on a feature”, not that it’s too hard.

    givesomefucks,

    I mean, there aren’t many free games that are actually free…

    BeigeAgenda,
    @BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca avatar

    That depends on what free means, if it’s a GPL game it’s free as in gratis

    But your point still stands, we should be weary about free games or apps.

    DarkThoughts,

    It's either free or a demo.

    Kusimulkku,

    if it’s a GPL game it’s free as in gratis

    But gratis just means you don’t have to pay for it. If it was free as in GPL way it’d be free as in “libre” I think

    sukhmel,

    I think, it’s the opposite:

    another review of the same game, it is positive and the text is just "Lol rekt"

    Regarding the griftmaybe the developer just made this for fun and published for others to enjoy? It doesn’t seem like this needs any new features or much maintenance, that would also explain the response on discord: the dev doesn’t care if people like the game or not, it is what it is

    Potatos_are_not_friends,

    As they should. Sometimes indie games should just be art.

    My games (really shitty demos), I’m personally not interested in building a audience or getting mass attention. I just wanna make the game in my head and if it kicks ass for others, sweet.
