breakcore, do games w Don't mind me, just enjoying a perfect Wednesday evening

Is cat sitting upon laptop? And absorbing heat?

mech,

Yes. And it’s very important that the laptop is closed.
She can crash a freshly installed Debian just by sitting on the keyboard.

breakcore,

That is certainly a special skill :)

I love that cats always gravitate towards warm places. And it’s a nice trick to have them close, by placing a laptop on ones desk :)

Seconded. Have the Gamesir g8, love it.

TheMinions,

I like mine too. It’s rather heavier than I expected, but still solid.

I mainly use it for emulating games on my phone, along with streaming games from my Xbox.

moistracoon,

Oddly enough just like OP I use it to play fall guys.

kaitco,

That’s what I have and I love it because it feels solid to use. I bought an expensive Backbone because it was marketed pretty well, but it just felt so flimsy that it had to be returned.

Your keyboard has more colours than your monitor :-D

mech,

It also cost more.

mech,

She graciously accepts your adoration.

Still a lil skeptical and waiting to see if they actually release it, but cool to see some progress regardless

VerseAndVermin,

I know almost 0 about Hytale. I played a lot of Minecraft but never interacted with their stuff. I also never got into minigames outside of the old school Mob Arena plugin.

All that said, this looks really cool to me. I’ve wanted to see something build upon the foundation of Minecraft. Now even more so with MS murdering developers left and right at the alter of AI. I have looked at Vintage Story a few times at length, but each time I walk away thinking it looks way too hardcore for me.

astropenguin5,

Oh, it absolutely will be cool as shit if it is actually a realized thing, and I’ll probably play the shit out of it, it’s just been in development soooo long and had so many problems that at this point if they get it done great, just not holding out my hopes too much.

Vintage story is interesting, I do kinda like it, but imo terrafirmacraft, the Minecraft mod/overhaul the devs originally started on, is much more polished. It is different from VS, and there are things I like more about VS than TFC though.

popcar2,

It’s releasing next month, so you won’t have to wait much longer.

astropenguin5,

Wait shit actually? Didn’t see that yet, that’s cool

idk why but nothing beats trackmania for me in racing games

It’s AG racers I keep coming back to, myself. (BallisticNG)

I enjoy trackmania a ton, but everytime I play I get such a dirty feeling after about a week.

Ubisoft really ruined it with TM20. I miss the sound and aesthetic of Turbo, that’s where it peaked for me (though I’ll admit some of the tracks produced by the community in TM20 are art)

Solrac,

I’ve hard of BallisticNG (and Beamdrive, was it) How are they? In contrast, I’ve only ever enjoyed arcade racers (lately Sonic Crossword and Burnout)

MentalEdge, (edited )
@MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz avatar

BallisticNG and BeamNG are completely unrelated.

The former is an EXTREMELY faithful re-creationg of WipEout physics (both ps1 and ps3/4 era games, depending on mode), but with support for mods and community-made tracks.

youtu.be/fx7ruNdS100

If you haven’t played WipEout, the controls involve four axes of analogue input. Pitch, craft tilt, as well as left and right air-brakes. The fastest way around a track requires extreme precision and a bit of luck.

In addition, weaponry is allowed and you must manage your energy (which is both your health and boost-fuel).

stealth_cookies,

Agreed, no matter what comes out Trackmania is the game that has me coming back day after day.

yikes. some folks really hate security.

winkerjadams,

Its probably more they just want to let streamers and people get their names instead of being impersonated. But yea, security usually falls by the wayside.

AntiBullyRanger,

there are streamers that hate security‽

nutbutter,

Sorry, I meant on Android only.

If you already have a Xbox/PlayStation/Switch controller, you can also use that. There are very cheap mounts you can buy for each of these controllers for ~$10 USD that will allow you to hook up to your phone seated on top of the controller. You might even be able to 3D print a mount too.

It’s not nearly as comfortable as this is (though you could say it is because the controller, itself feels better in the hands, but I’m talking viewing angle) but it’s a lot cheaper and doesn’t require buying a new, dedicated controller.

Not knocking your suggestion, OP. Just providing a secondary alternative too.

Managed to snag “Blister” which I’m happy about.

Thanks for this list, I wish they were all PC games. I just want gran turismo for the steam deck.

GammaGames, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of November December 7th

Blue Prince! We’ve gotten through 12 days, still not sure what’s going on but it’s fun to explore!

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

I absolutely love Blue Prince! Such an amazing experience and a unique and innovative game. I hope you’re enjoying the note taking and progressively losing your mind!

GammaGames,

There’s a lot more screenshots than notes, but we’ve figured out a few puzzles!

Coelacanth,
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Without spoiling anything I will say this: I recommend taking actual notes. I did it in a physical notebook but digital has the benefit of being searchable. It’s possible to get by with only screenshots, but I really recommend both and I thought the note taking itself was so enjoyable. I find physical note taking helps with memorization too, and every time you make progress because of something you’ve taken notes of is such a dopamine rush.

GammaGames,

Thinking back to the marathon all-nighter a friend and I did of Myst… we would’ve been lost without our scribbles. I’ll have to pick up a notepad!

Enjoy your time with it! Those moments of seeing something in game and going “wait wait wait I know what this is!” *rifles through notes furiously* were my favourite part.
