Fuzzy_Red_Panda, do gaming w I wonder when Elder Scrolls VII is coming out

2006 was peak computing. Computers, mp3 players, tons of other gadgets. It was when technology was still fun.

sirboozebum,

Before social media and the tech giants enshittenified the internet.

primrosepathspeedrun,

it could be again, you know. more so, even.

You had me until those nasty cookies

NocturnalMorning, (edited )

You’re wrong, but that’s okay. You’re allowed to have wrong opinions.

criitz,

Thank you, sir/madam. I know these cookies are controversial

ramenshaman,

I fucking love those but my diabetes doesn’t.

ByteOnBikes,

Those cookies are absolutely disgusting. I can’t help myself but eat like the whole container.

Just sugar cookie frosting crack.

Then I end up convulsing on the floor from sugar overload.

Samvega,

Diabetes can lead to amputations, and too often does. Be careful.

ByteOnBikes,

But If I’m amputated I don’t have to work anymore and I can eat more sugar cookies and N64.

jjagaimo,

I hope they amputate my head so I can stop eating them, sure way to stop the addiction

ninjabard,

Calling them cookies is an insult to all other cookies.

The cheaper cookies allowed the splurge on the vastly superior glass bottle Mexican Coke with real cane sugar.

Quetzalcutlass,

The only cookie that melts in your mouth. I swear the dough is just densely packed powdered sugar.

Needs smash Bros and 3 more controllers.

victorz,

And maybe 3 friends, optionally.

occhionaut,

I just throw all my extra controllers in the dryer at low speed. LG kicks my ass real good

victorz,

lmfao, nice

tetris11, do gaming w What are your thoughts on crouch jumping?
@tetris11@lemmy.ml avatar

I think we need a Plank button, for those times when you need to sniper shot someone in the prone position whilst in midair. Think of the possibilities:

  • Jumping into a tunnel completely ready to snipe
  • Other examples
Applejuicy,

I dont know why I find this so funny.

I hadn’t bought many switch games before the Yuzu stuff, and never will again. I’ll forever be playing them at 1440p/60+FPS on my computer for free.

My favorite repeatable mission, as intended by the devs: we need you to roll this barrel as far as you can by walking into it

My solution: looks at barrellooks at C4… (20 seconds later) clickBOOM

Honestly if they teamed up with the Just Cause team, they could make something quite interesting. Maybe not good, but certainly interesting!

CatZoomies, do gaming w Minimalism
@CatZoomies@lemmy.world avatar

Fucking love the Nintendo 3DS. My favorite console of all time. Comfortable, fantastic games, great range of first party titles that implemented 3-D extremely well, and of course my favorite feature: StreetPass. My god I loved StreetPass. So much fun bringing it anywhere and getting that green flashing light telling you visitors arrived on your 3DS.

I played the hell out of the StreetPass mini games, and also enjoyed some of the implementations in various titles.

A Link Between Worlds probably takes the crown as my favorite game on 3DS. I also installed custom firmware on it, and when I’m not playing SteamDeck, I bust out the 3DS to play old roms. I have so much nostalgia with this portable, my spouse and I would play this all the time when we were dating too. I cherish the 3DS.

Texas_Hangover,

When Nintendo gets shit right, they really knock it out of the park.

brokenlcd, do gaming w How times change

If we need to get into this kind of debate; may i remember everyone that the computer that brought humanity on the moon had 2k of ram

RightHandOfIkaros,

That was a lot of RAM for the time though.

IWantToFuckSpez,

Well yeah that computer didn’t had to hold Aldrin’s porn collection in memory.

DragonTypeWyvern,

He brought the physicals!

@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

I watched the moon landing at 60fps on a TV that cost me $80.

Why can’t I play max resolution BG3 at this framerate?

Aux,

Because the moon landing was rendered by the TV station and your TV only showed the end result. You can do the same with GeForce NOW or other streaming service.

mkwt,

And for several years that one program was consuming the entire national supply of integrated circuits.

jaspersgroove,

And a 2 MHz processor lol

Cyanogenmon, do games w Wise words from Master
@Cyanogenmon@lemmy.world avatar

EVERY entry in the MGS series from ps1 onward in its entirety (minus Survive) is one of those “if only I could play it for then first time again” games.

Have you ever played them or is this your first time through the series?

Silvia,
@Silvia@lemmy.world avatar

Boldly diving into the series for the first time! I needed something different, and I figured “Fuck it, Metal Gear time. I’ve been wanting to try it for a long time. Snake was one of my mains in Smash.” lol
Anyway, obviously i’ve heard PLENTY about the series, but thankfully in casual conversation, most people dont talk about story details, so im pretty blank on twists and turns.

Cyanogenmon,
@Cyanogenmon@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah extremely jealous of that lol. Enjoy the ride, it’s a wild one.

Cethin,

In case you aren’t aware, there’s also Metal Gear (1&2) for the NES. Most people just ignore those because they aren’t nearly as good, but they’re the start of the series. If you want more, they’re there.

Silvia,
@Silvia@lemmy.world avatar

I knew about them, i tried 1 and… well, it’s a little too far back for me. I don’t care for too many NES era games, apart from a few JRPGs

sundray, do gaming w Nintendo Power's old instructions for taking a "screenshot"

I actually followed this guide back in the day! I never got my photo published in the mag though.

I remember printing these out, too. They were usually hundreds of pages. And we still had a printer that used paper with the holes on the side. Shit took forever. Just grrrntchchgrrrntchchgrrrntchchgrrrntchch (printer sounds) all day.

woodenskewer,
@woodenskewer@lemmy.world avatar

We didn’t have a printer so I would print them out at school or the library and bring them home lol

CptEnder,

Me too!!! OMG brings back so many memories

seriousconsideration, do games w Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability.

I love my old school games and will never stop playing SNES, 64, PS1, and PS2, but there were plenty of crap games on those systems too. Just like how indies and Minecraft and Soulsbornes right now are dope as hell, but everyone complains about Ubisoft and EA so much you’d think that they were the only publishers in the 2020s. There’s been solid titles and shovelwware every single generation ever since the Atari 2600. Also, the games that a lot of us grew up playing that have gone down as “the best games of all time” like FF7 and Goldeneye would be considered borderline unplayable by kids today.

BRING BACK MANUALS.

darkpanda,

Give Tunic a try. The in-game manual is a central piece of its overall puzzle.

TwilightVulpine,

Tunic is great! The dev said he wanted to replicate the experience of playing a game in a different language that you don’t quite understand at first, and he made it perfectly. English is my second language, and it reminded me of the times trying to play games before I understood it, struggling with manuals and dictionaries.

The special edition comes with a physical manual, but ironically the player shouldn’t open it until they 100% the game. It’s like a spoiler.

uis,

If you want to read some manual you know where you can.

PersnickityPenguin,

Manuals?

Don’t you like logging into the same game 6 months later and the entire game mechanic and progression system have been changed???

Xanis,

Most people don’t know about, or don’t remember, the old bins filled to the brim with garbageware games. Back when shit was still the wild west and people were releasing crap left and right.

ICastFist, do gaming w I may have said this before...
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

This kind of talk always reminds me of Josh Strife. If memory serves, if what you’re doing in the game in the first few hours isn’t fun or entertaining, it’s unlikely that it’ll be after 100 hours, because it’s very likely that you’ll keep repeating the same activities for all those hours and beyond. What usually happens is that you just get used to it, plus sunk cost fallacy gets stronger the longer you play.

LemmyRefugee,

I also love that video.
