tygerprints, do gaming w Stardew Valley Expanded exceeded its creator’s wildest dreams

I truly wish I had access to Steam. I see all these wonderful casual puzzle games (my #1 love) and they never come out on Switch. But I don't have a good computer that is up to date and it cannot run Steam at all. My mouth waters when I see playthroughs of certain Steam games on Youtube.

Kwakigra,

You can get a computer which can run Steam the low-spec library for less than $100 if you get a very common used office computer. I’ve seen as low as $50 for a functional machine only a few years old. Most likely it could run most puzzle games.

tygerprints,

My computer is supposed to be able to run anything, and it runs virtually nothing. I can't even get basic things like email or older games to run on this thing. I've never had good luck with technology - but maybe I'll invest in a newer computer once of these days and hope for the best.

Kwakigra,

Sounds like it’s relatively new. If it came out of the box not being able to run games or email you may have some faulty hardware. If it ran decently at first but now having issues you may have some processes running taking up all your computer’s resources. The latter issue is a pretty straightforward fix by an IT guy, but the only way around hardware failure is replacement.

Don_alForno,

Stardew Valley is on switch though? It’s also on gog.com which is preferable anyway. No launcher required.

tygerprints,

Yep, it's on Switch, I originally bought a physical copy for PS4 back when it first came out, but then my PS4 gave out around the same time I was gifted with a Switch system. And then I found out all my PS4 games were pretty much also available on Switch. But what I really envy are people who can play Steam games, they are so much my type of casual games.

SpeziSuchtel, do gaming w Nintendo is making a live-action Legend of Zelda movie with Sony

Interesting that they are opting for a live action movie. The Super Mario Bros movie was produced by universal, so them going with Sony is quite nice.

thingsiplay, do gaming w The new voice of Mario is also the new voice of Wario
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

The new voice of Mario who is the new voice of Wario, is also the voice of Luigi. Either this man is a talent who can do multiple voices, or they sound the same. I didn't play enough to know the answer. Has anyone listened closer?

Do you think voice actors can only do one voice? Being able to do multiple different voices is the basic requirement for a voice actor, unless you’re one of the select few who get away with one voice (looking at you Patrick Warburton), but for most voice actors, they learn by mimicking as many characters as they can.

If you say so and I think about, It makes sense. It's like an actor playing different roles in movies. I was really impressed when reading the news the Mario voice actor could do Wario as well and feel kinda dumb now. :D

Sall good, I forget people aren’t as obsessed with voice actors as I am, there’s some really talented people out there doing voice acting and I hope more roles can open up for them.

tonamel,

The original voice actor, Charles Martinet, also did Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi himself.

thingsiplay, do gaming w Nintendo sold a single new Wii U in the US this year
@thingsiplay@kbin.social avatar

Amazing that they even write an entire article, because a Wii U was sold. I had to check the date if this is April Fool's day. It's a retro console and maybe they wanted save it. Or want to download roms to play for free on it (as the shop is not supported anymore) for authentic experience, instead emulating it. It was probably very cheap too.

wolfshadowheart, do gaming w Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a live-action TV show
@wolfshadowheart@kbin.social avatar

This could either be really good or horrifically awful. However unlike The Witcher show, I feel like it has better chances. Source material doesn't matter too much in that V's story can be pretty dynamic with how its told and The Witcher has a very linear story line and strongly solidified characters.

Adapting existing stories and changing them has to be done really well for people to appreciate it and The Witcher just didn't have this going for it. 2077 on the other hand has so many places it could go, characters that we've yet to meet. I mean really they have all the options as long as the dialogue and delivery is done well.

It doesn’t have to be V’s story. Like Edgerunners proved, you can tell a successful Cyberpunk 2077 story without retelling the same story.

Megaman_EXE, do gaming w Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty almost corrects the past

Well I guess now is as good as any to finally try the game again. I was one of the foolish people that had fallen for the initial hype of the game. Tried it on launch day and was insanely disappointed. Time to go find a cheap used copy

sculd, do gaming w It shouldn’t be this hard to play old Armored Core games

haha…I play AC3 Last Raven on my PSP Its going to break my hand

xNIBx, do gaming w Palia is the perfect game for chill vibes, either alone or co-op

This mmo might become a big hit. It is basically animal crossing/stardew valley/sims but on an mmo setting. The graphics/artstyle are decent and the monetization doesnt seem that bad(only cosmetic and only clothes atm).

I didn’t realize backerkit was a Kickstarter rival. I always thought they were like a companion to them.

Aurenkin, do games w PS2’s Two Towers was the coolest way to miss the whole point of the Lord of the Rings

To be honest as awesome as this game was I just want a new Battle for Middle Earth game.

Mutelogic, do games w PS2’s Two Towers was the coolest way to miss the whole point of the Lord of the Rings

Good write up! It certainly made me nostalgic for the games of that era.

I expected this to be bashing from the title, but it took a pleasant turn. Makes me want to play the game now.

mooseknee, do gaming w Warhammer’s upcoming fantasy RTS is simple, sleek, and thrilling

As a lover of RTS games, I am cautiously excited. A friend and I were talking the other day and we came to a realization that might sound mundane. Some of the things we miss about older games (specifically RTS) is that balance is so much more important now that a lot of the time, character and uniqueness get lost. If things aren’t as close to perfectly balanced as possible, gamers get real angry. There were some truly unbalanced RTS games that were incredibly fun. Battle for Middle Earth had some great mechanics that were incredibly fun, but I don’t many would say those games were balanced lol

i don’t get it, it looks as generic as every other blog i’ve been to in a while. not that that’s a bad thing, i guess

It’s weird how little identity this has now, visually. The previous design was quite striking, now it looks easily confused for something else.

Maybe this works better with screen readers though since it’s just black text on white background in simple text blocks.

kate,

they’re owned by some company that owns a bunch of blogs, right? maybe this is testing a new look for all of them
