I can’t really check my overall playtime but once again I’m being sucked in by Minecraft.

As a teenager it was my default game and if I could see my playtime I recon it’s 5 times higher than my next biggest game which was Skyrim at about 500 hours across both editions. When I was a teen, I’d adored how I could just get lost in this peaceful, lonely world.

For the last 6 years, I’ve been trying to play more innovative indie games that I can broaden my love for the medium, but every now and again I yearn for the mines. It’s basically the only game I can enjoy after day of work too.

I’ve just renewed my WoW subscription after many years away, wish me luck.

Classic or retail? Or SOD? To be honest right now is great time to get back into WoW. Multiple ways to play the game and the new xpac is actually pretty fun!

I did play a bit of classic during the break, I’m giving retail an honest go now. I did hear good things about the current X-Pac but also saw the blizzcon extracts and seems they are starting to cater more to folks like me who might not be able to play all the time. I’m also harbouring some hope they bring a port to Xbox after the Microsoft acquisition which would be great for me to be able to put more time in.

First impressions are good, I’m SHOCKED by all the quality of life stuff, and the levelling is soooo fast! Feels great but definitely a bit confusing, I quit in warlords so a lot has changed.

DagonPie,
@DagonPie@lemmy.world avatar

The leveling is a lot of fun. And running dungeons with the scaling. You can play some seriously OP classes that scale really well. I also really enjoy the new dragon mounts. They feel like guild wars flying if youve ever used those before. But yes taking away from the need to play every single day and you can hop in and out of some decent content without a crazy time sink is really nice. Im impressed! Since the last few xpacs have been pretty meh in my opinion.

I literally only played this afternoon and got my main from 35 to 59, for an old player like me that’s insane, on classic I played countless hours and never managed to catch up to max level. Not gonna lie, it’s working, I’m excited for end game and it feels like this might be an actual return. Haven’t tried the new dragon mounts I guess that’s something for when I hit 70. I’m definitely buying the war within now with the included dragon flight X-Pac (so far I only restarted the sub). I don’t know if it would work since I’m on EU servers but if you want to play soon, I’m down!

DagonPie,
@DagonPie@lemmy.world avatar

Im on NA servers but with the ease of leveling im sure i could level a character fast haha. Also cross realm is a thing too but im also not sure how that works. I agree though i feel like they really have been able to grab me with the gameplay. Its refreshing compared to how the dailies and stuff used to work. Classic too.

TEKKEN 8!

If you like competitive fighting games, play them early on release. Its when ranked mode really does feel wild. It balances out as the game ages but those early rank battles are an absolute blast. Plus the game looks incredible and always has an absolute banger of a soundtrack.

I’ve been glued to BeamNG.drive, ever since I finally broke down and decided “it’s not gonna get much cheaper than this” during the Steam sale.

It’s exactly, precisely what I thought it would be. Half completely freeform “let’s crash cars and watch them crumple in slow motion” and half “let’s do these scenarios.” Flip back and forth between the two, and it’s suddenly “oh, SHIT, how did three hours go by already???”

I’ll get around to poking my nose into the modding scene, soon enough, too. I haven’t even touched that side of it, yet.

Also, the game apparently has VR support, which I didn’t realize until I bought it. I haven’t bothered trying that out, since I also don’t have my driving wheel set up, at the moment. Driving games with a controller are basically the only category of VR content that can give me the ol’ lunch-launch-itis.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Awesome, awesome game that I can’t put down. I started the series in 2020 and played through the whole thing that year, so all the references to the past games make it that much better.

Picked up Sonic All Stars Racing on the Deck, and it’s super fun. Never heard about the game when it came out. It’s basically Mario Kart with Sega characters, but thats… really fun.

Too bad you couldn’t copy it over with low-speed dubbing.

I actually did manage to rip it, but I was taking a big risk doing that. I’m not using that disc anymore after that.

Revan343,

I was gonna say, I’d probably apply some glue to the cracked area, then spin it up one last time to rip it.

Or you could just download it from one of the repositories. Unless it’s something really obscure it should be already preserved somewhere on Archive.org, Myrient or even Vimms Lair

Ripping stuff yourself is too much of a time waste when the exact same image can be found online

@Pirky@lemmy.world avatar

While everything you said is valid (and I may or may not have done that), I legitimately enjoy the ripping process.

teawrecks,

I don’t know what the rules of this community are regarding piracy or DRM, but I think backing your content up is generally protected, while sharing the content or encouraging people to copy something illegally is possibly not allowed.

Not in souls games, those little shits are the worst.

dditty,

Came here to say this as well. And often there’re two dogs at the same time that stagger you repeatedly. I love gank

Boingboing,

Exactly. Fromsoft dogs can burn in the darkest pits of hell for eternity.

TwoBeeSan,

BURN THEM

What’s your most hated version? For me it’s the bloodborne dogs and those big mini boss dogs in ds3.

philoko,

Probably Bloodborne just because I feel like it had the most dogs and they were always in the worst places.

TwoBeeSan,

That cemetery entrance especially.

First game that came to mind for me. It’s crazy, you just beat a boss easily then suddenly you’re butt raped by like two dogs.

Divinity 2: Original Sin is a wonderful game with an engaging combat system, great exploration, and an intriguing story with fun and memorable characters.

I never finished the prologue because the game forced me to fight the cute doggo. After telling me its name and asking me to find it.

I can’t.

WarmSoda,

You don’t have to kill it. After the first round the entire map will be engulfed in flames and poison anyways.

Gnarish,

You do have the option to save it if you have the red rubber ball…though I guess there is that one dog in the cage in the next room so…

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

You can’t save the dog. You can only convince it not to attack you, but (a) the dialogue doesn’t trigger if you progress too much before talking to it, (b) the dog and its pack turn hostile on you if you proceed with the game. The only option you have is basically to ignore them, and it’s too sad for me :(

Unless it’s Resident Evil, then I double-tap them just to be safe.

Man i loved that game so much when i was younger that i may have gotten myself a copy from the interwebs to play it on pcsx2.

matthewmercury,

I may be able to attest that it runs like a dream on a Steam Deck.

I even have a hard time killing the nazi dogs in Wolfenstein. It’s not his fault he’s a nazi dog. He’s just trying to be a good boy, and his owner is a fucking nazi.

saltesc,

Just pretend it’s a tranq gun and once the mission’s done, they’re collected by dog behavioural therapists to undo the brainwashing and, in time, be collected by a family that will show them what it is to love and be loved.

Pelicanen,

I want to note that the dogs aren’t actually nazis, they don’t have an ideology, they just want to be good boys.

merde, do edc w Multitool

why did you choose rebar over wave?

fujiwood,

The biggest reason was form factor then price. I wanted something that could fit my pocket comfortably. I already have a dedicated pocket knife and screw driver so while it would be nice to have better options those weren’t too much of a concern.
