tourist, do games w I don't know why I even bother
@tourist@lemmy.world avatar

No idea what any of that means nor what I’m looking at, but I hope the situation improves for you inshallah

mstrk,

Believe it or not it did. So, I’m playing as a goalie, and in my understanding I should not orient my team play and rather watch them play. After I started tell them what to do (you can suggest to where they can pass the ball) my rating stop dropping so fast and I actually gain 0.1 from time to time 😱😱

This means I can keep a score of at least 7.0 often and don’t get substituted.

The game is still flawed tho, it’s very unrealistic that a goalkeeper get substituted in season games, even thought it concedes a lot.

I just want to thank you for your good karma 😊

I do gotta hope they rework the chalice dungeons tho.

@Zehzin@lemmy.world avatar

My take since the beginning is that chalice dungeons can be worked into a great riguelike mode

simple,

Really all they have to do with chalice dungeons is make them way less grindy. It takes way too long to get to the next tier.

Peddlephile, do gaming w We've had a few killer games recently

It depends on whether the game was designed with shareholders in mind or the player. Most AAA games are designed with profit in mind rather than what’s fun. For example, buying skins and doing the same thing on repeat is not fun. Roleplaying as Starship troopers with your friends is fun.

I dont get the hype for Helldivers or Lethal Company.

ParsnipWitch,

Me neither. Personally I have had more fun with Nightingale and Enshrouded and hope they will continue working on these games.

Death_Equity,

I think Lethal Company is popular because it is a great experience with friends, especially with mods. The horror aspect of people just going silent when dead and not knowing if you are the last alive, feeling like everything is going fine and turning a corner to find a monster that has you dead to rights, and the non-serious almost parody meta make it entertaining beyond the core gameplay.

Helldivers is also a great friends game and the bigger picture meta of the game gives a greater goal than to just complete the mission. It feels like you are part of something bigger than just that match while you are just ripping through enemies. It apparently was originally a Halo ODST Helljumper game pitch that Microsoft didn’t think was good, hilarious that they didn’t greenlight it in retrospect.

leon_sm,

Lethal company is by far not the first game to do this tho and it’s not really the most polished one out there.

Death_Equity,

The lack of polish is charming and not detracting because the gameplay and in-game universe is fun.

Still, only paid it once.

joneskind, do games w I didn't read the TOS for Baldurs Gate 3 until now
@joneskind@lemmy.world avatar

I wonder if there’s a way to transfer the game from my Steam account to my GOG account.

redeven,
@redeven@lemmy.world avatar

There is none in the way of a transfer. Neither Steam nor GOG will give you a copy of the game in exchange for another platform’s copy, nor give you a copy on a competing platform in exchange for theirs.

provided the technical protections measures used by the Game support such transfer

This boils down to if your method of ownership supports it, you can do it. Neither Steam nor GOG support it. A physical disk copy would support it, for instance, so you’d be entirely allowed to transfer ownership of your physical disk copy of the game.

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Excellent breakdown. This almost definitely only applies to the Deluxe Edition that is a physical copy.

Steam explicitly doesn’t let you give your account away or sell it, likely because they service so many different companies, that it would be impossible to handle the licensing changeover for all your games. It’s still frustrating, but it also makes a little sense, considering each game is often owned by a series of different companies.

ColeSloth,

I’ll only buy digital games if I get them at garbage bin sale prices. If I can’t sell it when I’m done, I’ll only pay an amount small enough that I wouldn’t go through the trouble of selling it.

Paradoxvoid,
@Paradoxvoid@aussie.zone avatar

With GOG, you could theoretically download the offline installer, give that to someone else and then ask GOG support to remove BG3 from your account, and be fully abiding with the EULA conditions.

redeven,
@redeven@lemmy.world avatar

But that wouldn’t give you a Steam copy, which is the scenario I was describing, along with the inverse mentioned in the original comment. There is no method supported by GOG or Steam to transfer a game to a competing platform.

Also in your case, the receiver would only have that one offline installer, the game wouldn’t be in their GOG library, and they wouldn’t get future updates.

catloaf,

Steam does support it. A long time back, I was still new to Steam, and activated a key on a second account I’d created. I opened a support case, told them I’d activated it on the wrong account, and asked them to transfer it. They did.

redeven,
@redeven@lemmy.world avatar

That’s a transfer within the platform, very different from the scenarios I described. There is no method supported by GOG or Steam to transfer a game to a competing platform.

You can’t open a support case and tell them “sorry I actually wanted this game on GOG, can you transfer it to my account there?”. At best you could ask for a refund, obviously if you’ve played the game enough you wouldn’t even be able to ask for that.

mox,

I wish I could suggest campaigning for GOG Connect to support it, but sadly, it looks like they shut it down.

heavy, do gaming w They're getting better though

I can’t tell most of this one way or another, but for sure Japanese devs have a problem with just putting a “Quit” or “Quit to Desktop” Button anywhere.

yamanii,
@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

Real, Persona 3 Reload runs great, works great, no bugs, but I have to go back to the main menu before being allowed to close the game properly.

Seems like an over correction from the doujin game days where their games would instantly close when you pressed ESC because they used P for pause.

Yeah notch is a dick, but this might be a stretch. What color would you make endermen to make them visually distinct from everything else in the game?

If you edit the Enderman textures to have a PNG alpha channel, that’s exactly what will happen.

I wish SE has more PvE or missions. I switched to Dyson Space Program recently as it has PvE in the recent update but I’m probably gonna go back to SE.

I’ve put in over 2,700 hours into Oxygen Not Included, so that’s my vote.

Edit: Oh dip, I just looked it up and I’m slightly over 2,800 now :/

olafurp,

Just finished Home Sweet Home an hour ago. 😎

Really_long_toes,

This was unexpected and fantastic, what a game

shyguyblue,

I tell people it’s the funnest game you’ll ever hate. It’s cathartic as hell when everything is running smoothly, but it just takes one little bump to throw everything off.

Really_long_toes,

I put 200+ hours in on my steam deck… originally I was looking g for a fallout shelter type game, but more depth, I had no idea what I was in for

GrayBackgroundMusic,

Yes! Chemistry industry mod added so much.

Wish rocketry didn’t suck.

SEND_NOODLES_PLS,

Yeah I just wish the lemmy ONI community was a bit more active. I should be above 2K hours in now too, and I haven’t won yet. My current run I’m trying to get up to 20 dupes while also trying my first attempt at something magma power.

shyguyblue,

Longest I’ve ever gotten was 1114 cycles, and I haven’t won yet either. You don’t win, you just do better each time…

Bougie_Birdie, do gaming w Still one of the cleverest moments in gaming history
@Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I remember playing MGS4 on the PS3 when it came out, and I was so pumped when Psycho Mantis made an appearance.

I had just got the console, so I didn’t have any save data for him to find. The controllers that came with it didn’t have dualshock either, so he couldn’t make my controller move.

In the end, Mantis really just seemed like a confused old man, which honestly fit pretty well into that game. There were a lot of themes about old soldiers aging out, I mean Snake’s body is literally betraying him. But Psycho Mantis’ domain was the mind, so it does seem fitting that he had a senior’s moment with me.

AeroSmack, do gaming w Oh trust me. I know your frustration better than you do.

Obligatory mention of New Vegas making sexuality a set of perks, just like in real life.

emptyother,
@emptyother@programming.dev avatar

But you can only choose one. That isn’t very realistic. 😄

AeroSmack,

You haven’t played New Vegas, have you? You can pick both. Bisexuals do +10% damage to men and women, just like in real life.

emptyother,
@emptyother@programming.dev avatar

I’m pretty sure it was only one in at least one of the Fallouts. But yeah, you are right, in NV one can choose both.

andros_rex,

FO3 only had perks for heterosexuals. Which means it’s optimal to play as a women, since most enemies are men.

ARk,

J-Just like in real life??

AeroSmack,

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

And possibly horny.

MammyWhammy, do gaming w Oh trust me. I know your frustration better than you do.

I don’t understand people who complain about things like this.

Just don’t play it. Easy as that. No conversation needed. Go play something else. There’s only an infinite number of other options that you can spend your time on.

Representation matters.

GBU_28,

Totally fine.

The person you replied to didn’t disagree though. If someone doesn’t want to consume something, no problem. Ideally they just shut up about it.

Aceticon, (edited )

I’ve been thinking a lot about this of late, mainly around TV series and movies.

(As a side note my own morality on all of this is comes from having lived my early adult years in The Netherlands: for me all sexual orientations are normal things, same as eye colors, height and so on, so there is no “right” or “wrong” sexual orientation, just like there is no “right” or “wrong” eye color, and sexual orientation is not even important outside a sexuality context)

I agree with you on that: show it as normal and people will start seeing it as normal rather than give some disproportionate importance to what is just another human characteristic that varies from person to person, which IMHO the best way for everybody to treat people equally independently of sexuality - only a nutter would treat somebody differently because of, say, eye color, and as I see it in the ideal world it would be just the same for sexual orientation.

That said, forcing displays of sexuality or sexual orientation isn’t the way to go, IMHO, because it keeps the whole thing in this special pedestal and goes against normalization of it because it does not treat it as normal.

Unfortunatelly a lot of TV series and Movies of recent have forced displays of non-majority sexual orientation rather than just having it as just as normal as all else - say, some otherwise asexual character is made to explicitly be gay or some other non-majority sexual orientation for no actual story-related reason - although there are a few that just portray it as “just another bunch of people” (say, one of the couples in the neighbourhood happen to be gay, and they’re living life like everybody else or somebody just happens to be attracted to somebody else of the same gender and it makes sense to show it as part of the story) which is how it is in real life, at least in civilized countries.

It all feels like the makers are preaching to us through this medium rather than the whole thing just being a representation of “normal life” (in the story setting) with all the range of normal characteristics that humans have (which naturally includes a range of sexual orientations).

(Mind you, I also think unecessary emphasis on the sexuality of straight characters is ridiculous: beyond what is relevant for the story in terms of how it affects how characters relate, I don’t see why straight people’s sexuality has to be highlighted).

I think we should strive to display the variety of the human condition without actually putting things like sexual orientation in a pedestal and treat it all as special (hence, by implication, not normal). It’s not easy though, especially in countries like US where morality has been picked up by Politics and thinks which are absolutelly normal human characteristics have been fetishised beyond all logice and turned into battlefields.

All that said, in story-driven games and other media, were there is emphasys in human relations, you’ll almost always end up with sexuality involved, if only because sexual attraction is a frequent drive for the how people relate and act around each other so it’s a bit harder to have a normal range of human behaviour there without seeming to be forcing anything.
