tuckerm, do games w Day 4 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

Nice screenshot. One thing this game did get right from day 1 was the art style.

I actually cannot figure out whether or not I agree with this 😅 I don’t’ fully like it, and I feel like it holds the game to a feel that’s… Idunno, simpler than I’d like? On the other paw, it probably fits well, I guess.

brsrklf,

It had a few graphical upgrades through the huge content updates it got year after year.

Now there is more biome diversity, more decorative flora, better underground environments, more creature types…

If anything, they tried so much to populate it that sometimes I feel it’s lacking some truly desolate environments. “Empty” planets are uncommon, and even those are mostly cluttered with weird stuff and “anomalous” living things.

The new Worlds Part 1 update that got shown the other day looks genuinely exciting. I still need to download it too play it but the new planet generation and stuff that got shown off was gorgeous

Yah, I haven’t tried latest update yet. Problem with NMS is that it’s a bit daunting diving into it again and again, I don’t like returning to month-old saves and starting from the beginning takes ages. Especially that with all the content updates, you get a dozen simultaneous quests jumping at you at first occasion.

I’m still doing expeditions, and that in itself is already a ridiculous commitment IMO. I wish we could just do them at our own pace, the time limit is baffling. I noticed that last expedition literally 2 days before it ended, I got everything, but it was a freaking race to get there.

I still haven’t gotten a chance to dive into expeditions fully. I really need to catch up

CeeBee_Eh, do gaming w Photorealism

Why is Silvester Stallone in a wrestling game?

Psythik, do gaming w Photorealism

Reminds me of when ESRB used to distinguish between “cartoon violence” and “realistic violence”, in the freaking 90s. Meanwhile it’s 30 years later and we still don’t have photorealistic graphics. (Unrecord comes close, but that’s not even out yet and it’s still not indistinguishable from reality.)

I remember thinking graphics had peaked with Metroid Prime. It was a good-looking game, but that was deeply inaccurate

Protoknuckles, do gaming w Photorealism

I’ll never forget the first time I played nfl 2k for the dreamcast. I literally thought I had accidentally changed the channel to real football. The last football game I played was 2d - madden on the genesis. This was such a leap forward I had trouble believing it.

chunkystyles,

I was so hyped for the Dreamcast, but never got to own one or even play one until they were obsolete.

I vividly remember seeing that game on TV and thinking something similar. The game being shown was in the snow and it looked so real to me.

Protoknuckles,

You look at it now, and it’s hysterically blocky, but in context, MAN, was it impressive.

these graphics are the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be

I remember seeing the FF8 opening cinematic and saying out loud “graphics can’t get any better than this”

I still have the sound in my head.

The CRT display helped.

BluesF,

Yes! If you look at old games on old monitors they look much better. Well, different, anyway.

FrankLaskey, do games w Day 3 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

TBH This might be a good enough idea to merit a whole community of people just posting singular cool screenshots of games they are playing. Could be a cool low-effort visual way to document what folks are into at the moment. Kind of like a visual version of those ‘what are you playing’ weekly threads that used to be everywhere.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

It would be awesome to see what other people are playing through screenshots. I wouldn’t mind seeing more people share their screenshots, whether as their own post or piggy backing off of mine

There is !photomode but it’s dead.

E: Ok, it’s not dead. I must have confused it with a different community.

FrankLaskey,

Not exactly what I was thinking of but still worth a sub!

Omfg, I knew it!!

PythagreousTitties,

Very cool.

So basically: the first imagine can be selected.
The second image is harder to select,
And the third one is 100% random.

Also, in the memory card game the last three cards on the bottom row are always mushroom, flower, star.

Neat stuff.

So the kid I knew who could get it every single time wasn’t just good, but could affect the laws of probability?

PythagreousTitties,

Your friend was The Wiz

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Maybe he was actually playing on another console hidden behind the TV stand, which had a Game Genie (pretty expensive for a party trick though)

ChaoticNeutralCzech,

The third image is indeed impossible to select reliably but there are ways to improve your chances.

The memory card game only had four eight different layouts, so by using deduction you could figure out which of the four was being presented to you at the time.

I still have the paper sketches of said memory game somewhere in my house. My mom would draw them to help us play the game (I was like 4 at the time)

PythagreousTitties,

It has 8 layouts.
Half of the video we’re talking about explains why there are 8 layouts.

Donut,

Apologies, it is indeed 8. I just found the sheets as well

PythagreousTitties, (edited )

No worries. Cool things like that are fun to learn, imo

Looks like the first Alan wick to me
