Hond, do gaming w have some standards

I killed several really well going conversations in the past by mentioning that one of my hobbies is to play racing games with my plastic toywheel.

Like dont get wrong i'm fully aware that its not a sexy hobby. But if thats enough to tank an otherwise well going conversation for you then i'm not interested either way.

Telorand,

I have to wonder if they’d be more interested if you’d said you fly a space ship with a HOTAS (as in Elite Dangerous).

ClassifiedPancake,

„I like playing with my stick“

theangriestbird,

yeah yeah we all do, pancake, but you need more things to talk about on a date!

t3rmit3,

that’s where the hand on the throttle comes in!

neon_nova,

I got really into elite dangerous at one point. I never got a HOTAS though, but I’d considered it.

How is the game these days?

Telorand,

I wouldn’t know! I’m currently exploring the black, and that hasn’t changed much! I think it’s had some improvements, though, since Horizons. They maybe added a new ship…? Still one of the best space flight sims.

On the other side of the coin, No Man’s Sky added walkable ship interiors to their new Corvette class ships, so they’ve basically added everything Star Citizen promised, just with more cartoonish graphics. Either are still great choices for scratching that space exploration itch.

neon_nova,

I’ve tried no mans sky a few times and couldn’t get into it.

I never grinded enough to get an anaconda, but I did make a few first discoveries while jumping around.

I think my ship is so far out that every time I play, I get bored trying to jump to anywhere relevant.

buedi,

I am back playing since a few weeks after bring absent for 5 years. Got myself Odyssey finally and do exobiology and you can build your own Colonies now!

Korhaka,

Played a fair bit of Elite but now kinda feels like there isn’t really that much purpose to play and most things get boring quickly, especially if you are trying to be vaguely efficient and stack missions or what ever the meta is now.

Doing a variety of different things with my multiple ship and SRV or on foot was most fun and least rewarding. If there was more co-op focused stuff I think that could help too, even if it was just a mission variant that increased enemy spawn rates in the mission area. Then rewards that make the mission worth doing.

mrgoosmoos,

racing sims are a sexy hobby, that shit ain’t cheap up front and also it’s legitimately a good experience

oh I’m sorry I have a hobby that doesn’t require ongoing expenses, takes up little space, and feeds me adrenaline. you’re right that if that is enough to tank a convo then byeee

of all the things to be a dealbreaker, playing video games is… lol. not the kind of person you want to be around. odds are they watch brainrot tiktok and reality TV, right?

AstralPath,

racing sims

oh I’m sorry I have a hobby that doesn’t require ongoing expenses

Sim racing is one of the most expensive video game related hobbies out there.

Ask me how I know.🤣 Jokes aside though, if you’re not competing in iRacing and you’re happy with a decent but entry-level/intermediate wheel its not so bad. It’s not hard to blow 10k real fast if you want to though!

definitemaybe,

Sure, but even so: that hardware isn’t going to be obsolete or wear out for a long time.

Compared with going to a concert that can be $10K for 2 people to attend a single show.

Calling it a plastic toywheel probably doesn’t help lol

What is this AI garbage? Those shoes are neither classic, nor soap, nor any others I’ve seen, and I somehow doubt someone made a new model for this.

theangriestbird,

why would Sonic wear soap shoes on the court? there are no rails to grind!

FaceDeer, do gaming w "Beehive", an unnofficial, unsanctioned, unassociated Mineclonia server with seed "beehaw" is up!
@FaceDeer@fedia.io avatar

Ooh, I used to mod Luanti a lot. Wonder if any of my old work is on this server. Is it just straight Mineclonia?

knokelmaat,

Yes, just default Mineclonia as I am totally new to this game and scene. Just wanted something fun to do with my server as me and my friends stopped playing Valheim :).

Hell yes!

Please don’t advertise this as being Sanctioned by or associated with Beehaw site or administration. It’s okay to leave up, and of course just fine for your seed of such ; just setting expectations.

Thanks.

knokelmaat,

I had no intention of doing so, just a fun side project that spun out of a previous post here a while ago.

Penguincoder,

I get that. I think my side projects get more work done than my actual work does! Have fun.

Cool, I'll check it out!

Hello, what a fun initiative!

Unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work on mobile (android) because I couldn’t figure out how to open my inventory (= no crafting, etc)…

I’ll keep looking and if I find a solution I’ll post it here.

Touchscreen

Display inventory: Press on-screen button in left lower corner

Ephera,
kruffa,

Thank you!

Was going crazy…

For some reason the word used by my languages translation just didn’t make me think of in-game inventory but rather of app+mods-storage on my device.

Should probably think about that for a bit!

Ephera,

Hmm, is there a way to improve that, like a different word that’s normally used? I could probably contribute a fix for the translation to the project…

kruffa,

Not sure… It seems that the correct^1^ word is used, but I don’t think I have ever played a game with an inventory in my native language (which luanti picked up from the system default language) so I just didn’t think of clicking that button.


1: correct, as in used in other games for the translation of “inventory”

Ephera,

Oh wow, so it’s kind of suffering from success, in that you might have understood it better, if it didn’t have a translation for your native language… 😅

kruffa,

Yes!

But also, now that I think about it a little more I think that it is also a problem with the interface:

having the button to the inventory in that menu, and not even as the first item, is kind of strange. Of the options in that menu I would guesstimate that I would use it to open the inventory 99,5% percent of the times I entered the menu.

Imho the inventory should be opened by a button in the HUD, probably by an additional square with an icon in the bottom inventory row.

Ephera,

I agree that the default isn’t great, but from the link that @tal had posted, there is actually a way to move the inventory button to where you want:
…docs.luanti.org/…/touchscreen-editor.mp4

So, they go into the menu, then press the “Exit” button.
Unfortunately, that video is already out of date again, as there’s now a general “Settings” button where the “Touchscreen Layout” button was. But in those settings, you can select the “Touchscreen” category and then that button is near the top.
Then it works like in the video again, by pressing “Add button” and so on.

Legendsofanus, do gaming w Let's discuss: God of War

I have only played the two GoW games on PSP and the canon game that came out on Java phones so my experience is pretty limited but I loved the games that I played.

I haven’t played any of the rebooted games but heard they have an amazing story, particularly the first one. Sadly, it’s too expensive…

knokelmaat,

What device do you use to game? If you have a capable PC and are unable to pay for the game, there are simple methods to obtain it for free, for which you should feel zero remorse in my opinion :). Piracy when the person in question is unable to pay for the game is nothing to be ashamed for, and I’ve read multiple developer interviews who endorse this!

Legendsofanus,

I have a PC but unfortunately it’s less than capable
