@_haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works avatar

The trick is to not give a shit I guess: Just play the game, and if you can’t enjoy it, why bother playing it?

There might be some mods out there to change it if you play on PC though, might also be worth looking into, but at the end of the day: If you aren’t having fun, what’s the point?

Posting to remind myself later to check this. I also restarted my usage of an rss reader, and I feel I’m out of knowing what the good feeds are.

Trying out a new build in Path of Exile. Recently got into the game and it’s actually pretty good, I wish I started playing years ago though because there’s so much content 😅

I want to switch to something else soon so I don’t burn myself out on the game.

zachary3752,

The nice thing with Path of Exile is that you can always play next league and try out other content and systems.

I’d suggest picking one or two systems and just really learning those each league instead of attempting everything all at once.

joemo,

Thanks! Been trying to do that as there’s just so much to learn. I’ve stuck to a few build guides (started playing midway through Crucible). I found a build that I like and it’s fun (RF inquis, nice walking simulator 😅) but it struggles doing content that I like (bossing). So I’m trying out a DD Elementalist with the hopes of next league maybe being just a one build guy and respecing once I get some currency.

I have been able to get two voidstones, and the Maven seems doable as my RF but when I read about the fight I must have ignored that last phase and had horrible placement on those pools.

I want to complete all the end game bosses first and then I’ll try to do a deep dive on the passive tree and maybe try my own builds or something.

zachary3752,

Yeah RF is an amazing mapper but not a great bosser. Sometimes I’ll make two builds. One to blast through mapping and one to nuke down bosses.

Or you can use Explosive Arrow which currently does everything well lol

Broken_Monitor, do games w how do you have fun even a game have a grading system?

First play through ignore the grading system. I know I’m going to get a crap grade - I need practice, upgrades, moves unlocked etc. I will only worry about that system on a second play through where I know exactly what I’m doing and now I’m ready to try perfecting it. At that point I must still be enjoying the game and the challenge of doing better. Most games I never do this, but some of them are really fun. I think if you worry about the grade right away its like skipping classes and homework and going straight to the test. Yeah, you’re probably going to have a rough time.

@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

If you are okay with Vox Media Group, I’ve been pretty happy with Polygon. They even have RSS!

mana,

I think Mike Mahardy from Polygon is alright, but generally I find their content leans into social commentary more than I want in a gaming outlet. I respect that some people want that, and I’m glad these sites exist for them.

Dark_Arc,
@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

I haven’t really noticed that…? But, maybe that’s just because whatever’s being said “agrees” with me or isn’t in the articles I choose to read from them (?)

bighi,

I’ve never seen any social commentary content from them. I haven’t watched everything they do, but can’t be that common if I haven’t seen it yet.

lenan, do games w how do you have fun even a game have a grading system?

IMO, just ignore the grading system and have fun. Once you’re hooked enough and actually want to improve, that’s when you will want to start paying attention to it.

Delta V: Rings of Saturn

Such an atmospheric and cosy game. I’m a sucker for hard sci-fi and games that try to simulate real physics to the greatest extent possible.

Media podniecały się wynikami w Wieruszowie, który nie znalazł się w twojej statystyce bo ofc zgodnie z prawdą też nie jest żadną Polską w pigułce, po prostu trafiły się tam chyba z dwa razy wyniki zbliżone do ogólnych. Ale mieszkańcom to nie przeszkadza i od lat organizują tam “prawybory” w ramach zabawy, a z ich wyników media próbują wdrożyć. Oczywiście nic się z tego nie sprawdza. xD

Oczywiście, to jedynie “pożywka dla umysłu” (ktośx mógłxby argumentować, iż przepływy +/-dziesiątki pproc. per lokalizacja są zastanawiające – z co najmniej socjo-/politologicznego punktu widzenia). Jeśli o niżej podpisanego chodzi, to jedynie czysto poznawczo – i tak nie biorę udziału w demokracji przedstawicielskiej, pewnych aktorów polityki mogę cenić bardziej czy mniej, natomiast świat wolę ulepszać innymi metodami – skąd neutralny stosunek do JOWów, zaś rockmanowi Kukizowi w wybieralnej polityce uszanowanie ze świadomością, że “robi robotę” gdzie indziej – stanowi kontrapunkt dla dulszczyzny/bigoterii. Istnieje wszakże aspekt, który nie daje spokoju: jeden z ponoć szczęśliwszych regionów w Bolandzie to… konserwatywne Podkarpacie. Wierzę w replikowanie pozytywnych wzorców – jak “pogodzić ogień z wodą” (konserwatyzm z wolnością). Z kolei “mała Szwajcaria” znajduje się na Kaszubach.

Przecież Kukiz sam jest dulskim bigotem, i hipokrytą razy milion. Nie ma bardziej zeszmaconej jednostki ludzkiej w polskiej sferze publicznej od niego. Chorągiewka bez idei, z potężnym parciem na szkło, z gigantycznym ego i problemem alkoholowym.

Jesteś pewna z tą bigoterią? Pamiętam tylko, jak w którymś wywiadzie mówił, że sam już nie pije (może “fakt prasowy”), ale nie myśli zakazywać innym (może wolno żywić nadzieję, iż roztacza tę tolerancję na związki inne niż etanol), natomiast za starych czasów Piersi miały taki kawałek: “Rowerek” – gorzki przytyk na mieszczańską degenerę. No i filmy “Poniedziałek”, a szczególnie “Wtorek” – też specyficzne satyry.

Smashing some Titanfall 2. It’s included with EA Play/Game Pass Ultimate and it’s a ton of fun. We’ve been doing 4 player co-op “Frontier Defence” mostly; think arcade “MechWarrior” meets tower defence. Tons of fun!

sub_, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 1st

I started playing Horizon Forbidden West, while this game is still okay, it seems like it’s taking some steps backwards:

  • it’s becoming more AssAssIn’s Creed like, with lots of stuff on the map
  • they should retire the focus / investigative / detective vision, because it’s really hard to see now
  • the movement is still janky, Aloy feels slow even on a mount. While the climbing doesn’t feel good
  • too many button inputs, sometimes they also feel inconsistent, and sometimes it feels like they are running out of buttons on the controller
  • way too many weapons / armors that I probably won’t use. Why not discard the rarity type, and let user level up the weapons instead?
  • it also has the trap of games with HDR, aka it’s too dark to see
  • foliage sometimes obscures the whole thing that you can’t see what’s happening
  • while side quests are unique, many of the characters are kinda boring and forgettable. Often I need to sit thru a long and boring / predictable conversation just to get a quest started.

Besides those complaints, I am still enjoying the game. It has an unique setting, and gameplay that prioritizes bow and arrows. However it feels like they are moving into AssAssIn’s Creed bloat.

I’m kinda playing too many games in parallel at the moment. I bought Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty and did prepare to start, but I have yet to start the first mission. I played a lot of Barony, which has been great fun. And in between I also played some Whisker Squadron: Survivor, which is a funny little game imo. Cities Skylines 2 is also close to release, so it’s gonna get even busier then

I’ve been playing Dragon Quest XI S for the past couple of weeks, around 20 hours in and so much more to go by the looks of it!
