rtxn, do games w Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me?
  1. There is a setting for an alternative character control mode. Use it, the regular one is dogshit.
  2. The level difference between Geralt and enemies is very important. A difference of +/- 4 can make fights ridiculously trivial or a one-hit KO. Same goes for jobs’ recommended difficulty.
  3. Getting swarmed by level 50 sewer rats is not fun.
HexesofVexes, do gaming w No sale today, sorry.

So if the average price was $50 in 2000, and is about $70 today, assuming a linear rate of price increases, it would be $1663.33 in 4024.

This is a terrible model: it likely underestimates as inflation is geometric rather than arithmetic.

For a geometric model we have r=1.011329 over this period, thus extrapolating we get a price of…

$208,200,000,000

Which is insane, because it is so low for Nintendo!

And the minimum wage in 4024 is $2082, so it’s only the heads of Elon, Zuckerberg and Bezos that can afford it.

HexesofVexes,

Don’t forget Nixon’s head!

Mango, do gaming w It's a classic

If I had a nickel for every time I heard about this, I’d have 10¢ just this week. It’s not a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Right? The studio behind it openly admitted that Ghost and Goblins was made to be a quarter eater at arkades… it was built to be unbeatable

Causal87_, do games w What are your favorite racing games?

I really enjoy open world racing games. Forza horizon and the crew being two of my favourites.

turkalino,

Lego 2k Drive is a great one. Micro transactions are sadly pushed pretty hard, but I just played with my Switch in airplane mode and that made it pretty easy to ignore them

NONE_dc, do games w UPDATE: Here is the final design of the Humorless Toaster, that this wonderful community helped me pick yesterday! (Needless to say one of the previous versions was unintentionally problematic)
@NONE_dc@lemmy.world avatar

Now THATS a “Humorless” toaster. Great work.

Road_Warrior_10,

Thank you :))

antmzo220, do games w Help me to settle on a face design for the character I've just added to my game, called The Humorless Toaster. (It's only here to make toast, not listen to your nonsense.)

Oh no, the Hitler particles have crossed the human toaster barrier.

Depending on what you’re going for, 1 and give them a German accent. Otherwise 2.

Road_Warrior_10,

Wasn’t going for German that’s for sure, although…

thefartographer, do games w Day 57 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

I feel like my day isn’t complete until I’ve seen one of your game screenshots. I actually have nearly zero investment in the games you’re actually playing, I just appreciate knowing that things are still going well enough for you that you get some time to play a game and post.

I hope you have a good life, thank you for bringing a warm glow into mine.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Me too, its good to see it. I wanted to actually join in myself, but I didn’t want to take away OPs show, and I didn’t want this community to become people just posting daily screenshots of games they’re playing. So I opted to not join in.

But I enjoy seeing OP post these, even if I don’t agree or like every game choice.

KeefChief13,

Yes

missingno, do games w This is definitely one of the strangest cash grabs I've ever seen
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

Gacha games are bullshit and all, but I don’t think releasing a physical collector's edition is the bullshit part.

Buttflapper,

This isn’t a collectors edition though? It’s not even a steelbook. The word collector isn’t even used in the marketing. It’s just a physical release of a free to play game.

Kolanaki, do games w The chat in World of Warcraft is what keeps me coming back
!deleted6508 avatar

Barrens chat was wild back in the day. Can’t imagine how it is now a days with how every online game is so full of toxicity that the most common thing I do the first time I play anything now is disable chat entirely.

Eheran,

So many games now do not even have any way to effectively communicate, which I find even worse. I found so many good friends while gaming, all impossible in those games where you end up with random people game after game with no communication.

Buttflapper,

Chat is non-existent in World of Warcraft anymore. You can get banned or muted for basically anything now because people have a right click report button and often abuse it for no reason. I was completely banned from the game for an entire week for this exact same username that I have here, someone reported me and said my name was inappropriate. I’ve had it for 15 years, and was randomly deemed to be not allowed anymore, so banned. Also had guild members that I was very close with through discord banned for a week for simply making a joke or saying the word fuck.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

Getting banned for an “inappropriate name” isn’t new… I had a toon banned for the name of “sofakingkewl” when I was playing BC back in the day.

Ashtear,

Started playing again with a duo partner and was a bit shocked at the toxicity in Trade chat. I’ve been playing the game less and less over the years, and I guess I was used to it at one point. I suppose I also just have less tolerance for bullshit than I used to.

I don’t know how it is now, but Classic was even worse at launch. Blizzard underestimated player demand for the product from the start, so a company that had already slashed their GM staff to the bone wasn’t ready for it (and players in public chat channels were aware and took full advantage).

callouscomic,

Cataclysm destroyed Barrens. Maybe WoW Classic has the old Barrens chat though.

EABOD25, do gaming w This will look great in my library

My wife has came at me like that before. She has over 500 books that she’s never read so I just flip it around on her

aeronmelon,

The Cold War of queued media.

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Books are generally cheaper, though.

EABOD25,

Per capita, but think about it. Over 500 books. We got books in the spare room. We got books in the living room. We have books in storage lol

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

True. She needs to get an e-reader and just pirate them if she’s not gonna read them anyway!

EABOD25,

She keeps reminding me “It could be drugs”

samus12345,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

At least drugs can be resold for a decent price if you don’t use them.

EABOD25,

She just wants bookstore credit lol. Bookstore credit is like the most selfish/unselfish thing ever. Like people are reading, but you’re getting free books lol. I’ve learned to just keep my mouth shut about it unless she says something about my video games. If the boss is happy, I get to be happy

grrgyle,

Also shoutout to libraries. I’ve got a whole reservation queue going

toynbee,

What if I massively overbuy both games and books without consistently consuming either?

EABOD25,

Well, if you have the disposable income and you’re not married, it’s no different than me and my wife’s finances haha

toynbee,

Hah! I like that comparison, very apt.

I am married. My wife is concerned because I enjoy and own an unreasonable quantity of video games and books; and we have a toddler with a growing interest in both as well.

My wife says that our next house won’t have a library, it will just be built from books.

On the plus side, one of my favorite authors - Terry Pratchett - once said “I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who has enough room for all of their books.” I would have liked to be friends with him.

grrgyle,

… one of my favorite authors - Terry Pratchett - once said “I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who has enough room for all of their books.” I would have liked to be friends with him.

That’s beautiful. Also the quote makes me feel a lot better about all the books strewn about the house. Makes it seem more normal, or acceptable. Kind of flips it around to a good thing.

ayyy great game✨

I’ve probably sunk several years into this

Unforeseen,

Me too, over 1400 hours. I use a lot of mods. I take a break for a year or more at a time and then get hooked again. I’m trying to wait for the NPC update until I do again

kryptonianCodeMonkey, do gaming w NES

Grandma: Calling all consoles “the Nintendo”.

flicker,

I’m really looking forward to pulling this crap as I get older.

Particularly about Pokémon. I grew up with Pokémon. I’ve played every single main game (or at least one of the two that released!) I cannot wait to call them all Pikachu just to watch a kid squirm.

kryptonianCodeMonkey,

You mean the pokey-mans?

flicker,

Yessss

taiyang, do gaming w Wouldn't have it any other way

My guilty pleasure: 4k TV, 4080 gpu, and I’m playing mother fuckin’ Super Smash Bros Melee.
