Not me but a friend

We were playing a mil sim game sniping from 1.5km into the objective. I was spotting for my group and while discussing targets and ranging we found out that our best sniper had no idea how to range or use mildots… the guy who was hitting moving targets at 1.5 kilometers would scope the target then aim upwards and look at the trees then fire… And connect… We told him how to adjust the scope after.

I read “mil sim” as “millionaire simulator” initially and this read very differently.

Claire Redfield in darkside chronicles. I saw that ASS and that was the last I saw of it. Before Stellar Blade, there was Claire Redfield. Claire Redfield is awesome.

Looks like Splatoon at home doesn’t have the same appeal as Pokemon at home (note: just using “at home” to note similarity, not to downplay quality).

For a while I just couldn’t play souls-likes. The enemy attacks were blatantly undodgeable. Like, even if you move at the maximum possible speed, in any direction, at the very start of an animation, you can’t get out of the way. Then I realized you’re not really supposed to get out of the way, you’re supposed to abuse the immunity frames from the roll to “dodge” straight through the attacks. Basically the opposite of what I had been doing.

Stardew Valley is a really chill and fun game. You can talk to the towns people but don’t have to and the dialogue is all very short if you do.

Yeah, I’ve played that game to death at this point, I’m afraid.

I’ll also add Urbek City Builder. It’s a city building game but it’s a more simplified one. Resource management is very easy and you can build your city as fast or as slow as you need.

I am addicted to this feeling of revelation. There is nothing like it. Now I collect old networking equipment and try to get it to work in ways I never thought it could to get my fix.

johnlobo,

how do you deal with frustration before the revelation?

randomaside,
@randomaside@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I wear it out. Screaming, kicking, blasting “we’re in this together now” by NIN cranked up to 11. Physical exhaustion will bring with it its own form of revelation.

A good workout helps.

I love Derail Valley, though I absolutely suck at it. I don’t want to look up spoilers online, but I have been playing for 3 months and I still haven’t found the slug, and I am still mostly hauling stuff around with 3 DE-2s. I’m excited for when they add in NPC trains, though I have no clue how that will work with the current map.

bungle_in_the_jungle, do gaming w Who, in your opinion, is the most annoying character in any game?

Bloody Paimon. (Genshin Impact)

And this is coming from someone who still logs on frequently. All I want is to mute her.

HakFoo,

Paimon has that obnoxious Elmo complex. Sing-songy PLUS can’t speak in the first person.

antaymonkey,

Paimon was a main reason I stopped playing.

toxicbubble,

there’s a character from Trials of Mana who talks like that & drives me wild. some people switch to the japanese voice cuz of how bad the VA is

bungle_in_the_jungle,

Yeah I tried this with Genshin but she’s still as grating ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Navi from one of the Zelda games. “Hey!”

towerful,

The Owl from OOT as well

Oh man, “did you want to hear this again?” Every single fucking time I would be mashing a to get through his dialog and press yes by accident. Every time…

towerful,

Ahaha! Yes. So annoying!
I seem to recall navi being mostly skippable. But the owl having to say everything. But you would still button mash to try and skip, then end up having to see it all again

Dasnap, do games w CD Projekt Red are splitting from GOG somehow?
@Dasnap@lemmy.world avatar

The email I read was talking about cross progression and stuff, which goes outside of GOG. It probably makes more sense for a PS5 or Xbox player to create a CDP account than a GOG account in that context, although it’s all still technically the same account anyway.

GOG and CDPR have always been different branches anyway. This just looks to be making the separation that’s always existed a bit clearer.

TWeaK,

The text above mentions Cross Progression.

GOG and CDPR have always been different branches anyway.

They have and they haven’t. CDPR used GOG’s infrastructure, and CDPR own GOG, so this makes sense. You don’t buy Valve games from the Valve store, you buy them from Steam.

Technically, I think GOG was originally started and owned by CDPR, then became GOG Ltd, and now it’s GOG sp. z o.o. However, I think it’s reasonable to be frustrated that the corporate restructuring (which is almost surely for their financial benefit) is affecting customers. I bought my games from GOG, because I like GOG, and I liked CDPR for making GOG and holding the same ideals.

According to Wikipedia, GOG sp. z o.o. is still a subsidiary of CD PROJEKT S.A.

What this seems to me is that CDPR no longer wish to sell their games on GOG, perhaps because GOG is staunchly DRM free. Does this mean CDPR are going to include DRM in future games? Or are they merely trying to expand the selection of titles they can sell on their storefront(s) to include those which refuse to be DRM free? Does this mean GOG is going to fall to the wayside, as they will no longer push for DRM free versions of major titles, instead referring them to the CDPR store?

I have DRM free versions of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Baldur’s Gate 3. It would be sad if future games weren’t available in this way.

To me this sounded like cdpr merging more with gog not the other way round, as in both your accounts are now under one account?

hoshikarakitaridia,

Idk about that. They are literally saying they will replace gog account system with their own one. Sounds really specific to me.

TWeaK,

No, GOG was the official store for CDPR (as GOG was created and is owned by CDPR), but now CDPR are splitting off, or something. So, for example, your achievements in games like Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 have been recorded in GOG, but will now be migrated to a separate CDPR service.

So it’s not a merger, but a split, however to my knowledge the ownership structure of CDPR owning GOG will remain the same. It’s just that they want to separate GOG from their own publisher business. What this means for GOG as a storefront seems uncertain - will GOG continue to sell all games, or will it go back to its original purpose of only old games? Will GOG continue to be DRM free? Will future CDPR games include DRM such as Denuvo? Will GOG eventually die off?

What?? Faith might be the only interesting character in the whole FC series. I don’t think you understand the character’s backstory at all, TBH. The original Faith was the Seeds’ sister who died young, so the brothers kidnap young women in the cult, drug them (I forget what the name of the drug is in the game), and convince them that they’re Faith Seed. Eventually that woman dies so they replace her with another. It’s horribly tragic and, in my opinion, is leagues above the standard character writing of the Far Cry games

FuryMaker,

Yeah, I was puzzled when OP listed Faith as most annoying; I don’t think they paid attention to the story.

I found her more interesting than many other Far Cry antagonists, let alone other video games characters.

I would, if the game wouldn’t be so expensive 💀

Sibbo,

I honestly think the price is very reasonable, given the amount of playtime you can easily sink into this game. And compared to other train simulators, where each new track and each new locomotive costs another 10€, this is incredibly cheap.
