Here’s a simple one. On PC, a lot of games let you use the keyboard/mouse or a controller. On some games it’ll switch the prompts to the layout of the last type of input you used. However I tend to use a controller for everything, except I’ll use a mouse for more fine tuned control since I suck at aiming with a joystick. But then what happens is the input notifications switch to keyboard/mouse and sometimes don’t switch back.

I’d love to see an option to force which input style gets displayed on screen. Keyboard/Controller/Auto

MrScottyTay,

And some games don’t let you use both at the same time!

SCmSTR,

That was the worst. One time I had a remote desktop host software running, nothing was even connected, but it was detected first or something stupid, and I couldn’t input the game at all. What an absolute nightmare to troubleshoot. I ended up just never actually playing that game with those friends because I couldn’t, and everybody ended up not playing more of it or any of the sequels as a result.

Everything should be controllable. Give me all the options. Every graphical feature, every UI element, even gameplay mechanics. If it is as simple as adjusting a number or selecting something from a table, give me the option to control it myself.

Damarus,

Okay you can now control the shadow casting behavior of every single entity in the game individually. Happy?

Why do you want to get into a horror game in the first place, if you don’t handle horror games well? I don’t see how that could work, as shocking and horrifying the player is kind of the whole point of the game.

TehPers,

This. Games don’t need to be for everyone’s tastes, and often aren’t.

If the story is interesting, then consider watching a playthrough instead.

muhyb,

It also depends on the game too. I’m one of those people who hate horror tag to the guts but there are a couple games I was able to play and DDLC was one of them (The other was Neverending Nightmares).

Currently evaluating to play Needy Streamer Overload but my friends say don’t. :)

TehPers,

My partner played Needy Streamer Overload and loved it lol. Not sure what that means for you, but I guess any game’s worth the two hour demo that Steam gives you at least.

muhyb,

I might like it if it’s kinda similar to DDLC as in horror aspect. According to HLTB, one playthrough is ~2 hours, so probably won’t go that way, since I succeeded to stayed spoiler-free until now.

For some reason, I don’t see psychological horror as pure horror. At least I can tolerate it at some point, most likely not all though. :)

I disagree on the “shocking” part here. DDLC is psychological horror. It does have shocking moments, like the end of Act 1, but this is not the main point. It is way more about relationships than about shock moments. Sadly discussing that part of the game (the later acts…) is massive spoiler territory, so I’ll stop here.

The fact remains though, that it is a horror game, and if the end of Act 1 is already too much, then sorry, but it is only going to get worse. A lot worse. (Or, if you enjoy psychological horror: Better. A lot better.)

Pocket Pool.

Not to be confused with pocket billiards.

Adjustable HUD offset for widescreen.

I have a 32:9 display and it SUCKS when HUD elements are anchored to the sides. I have to turn my head to see it!

Gumus,

And FOV axis setting. I hate when there’s a limit on X axis FOV slider and it’s still not wide enough for SUW

Edit: or any server

frongt, do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Not a setting, but a “here’s what you did last time/here’s where you need to go now”. If it’s been a little while since I played the game, I shouldn’t be lost trying to figure out where I am or where I’m going.

AlligatorBlizzard,

I’m playing Pokemon Moon right now and as annoying as the rotom can be I find the recap useful if maybe a little bit hand holdy.

caut_R, (edited ) do games w Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)

Chromatic Aberration toggle

Motion Blur toggle

Distortion Effect toggle

Vignette Effect toggle

FoV slider

DLSS/FSR implementation (cause fuck TAA, like really, really fuck TAA and its smear)

Oh, and Head Bobbing/Camera Shake slider, forgot about these

zipzoopaboop,

Don’t forget film grain.

I’d like a button to just disable all the post processing things at once

Interested. Also a little interested in the MC server, per your website.

Never played Starbound; how many players are typically on a server concurrently? Or at least y’alls server?

dracs, do gaming w How do I get into Doki Doki Literature Club?

I’ve tried to play it through twice and haven’t really been able to get much past Act 1. Only saw hope it ended a bit though a Let’s Play stream.

Hopefully this doesn’t count as excessive self-promotion. This is actually largely a very single-player oriented game, and as such we don’t need additional players to enjoy it by any means… this said, I thought it would be really neat to connect with other Lemmy folks and bond over Starbound!

Our group primarily uses Discord to communicate (I know, it’s a terrible platform, but it’s really hard to replace when you’re trying to keep gamers connected to one another). It’s a very active discord - we chat every single day with one another in it. It’s been a hot minute since we’ve advertised a new server, what with the country and the world being so chaotic and negative lately… but I believe distractions like Starbound can be really important!

I hope a few folks check us out. It’s a great group of people, and we enjoy some really fun games together on a regular basis.

SnotFlickerman,

Got a list of the mods used or does the client automatically download the required mods when connecting? Like others here I dropped it shortly after the 1.0 release and finishing the game rather quickly.

moncharleskey,

There is a mod list on their website.

RightHandOfIkaros, do games w A chill gaming community for the 30+ crowd

I hate this. Not because it exists, but because it reminds me how old I am, lol.

I used to know people that would all join up for Quake II, CounterStrike 1.5/1.6, and Diablo II LAN events, but it’s getting harder and more expensive to travel these days. Playing online just isn’t the same for me, so I won’t be joining, but I do hope that the community continues to thrive and remain as drama-free as it can.

Hentai games are my guilty pleasures in that regard

FatVegan,

Are they like good at all or is it just anime girls?

It’s also squids.

There are a few that are actually fun as games, Tifa Tanx2 being the only example that comes to mind, it’s a fun Kung Fu (NES) like beat’em up with easy combos. There are even some work-safe gameplay videos of it on YT

A lot of the games are visual novels, this is where you find a decent variety of styles, though a lot of them use daz3d models, which I don’t like. I’d wager that hentai games are like 60% VNs, 30% RPG Maker, 10% everything else

Skyrim. Load up some new mods, play a completely different character. The magic of Bethesda’s old games is that they leave the player free to imagine what they are. The upside of having the PC have no personality is that you get to project whatever personality you like onto them. Don’t initiate the main quest, don’t bother with dragons, play pretty much the entire game as if it is your own sandbox. It’s grand.
