God I would give so much to experience Splinter Cell 3’s multiplayer again. It was perfect. An improvement upon the already excellent MP of Pandora Tomorrow, but still within the spirit of the game.
And then they fucked it up trying to make it more like COD or something.
My son is 11 months, and if I didn’t have my steam deck I would probably not be gaming at all right now :) That instant off/resume is absolutely amazing.
I picked up a Switch thinking it would always be attracted to my TV. Maybe it was for a bit, but when my child came along the only way I used it was handheld and for spurts at a time.
That’s how I knew the Steam Deck was an instant buy for me - the pause/resume is key.
I’d recommend dual booting. Get a hamstrung ISO of Win10 so the telemetry crap is DOA and use it exclusive for VR so it doesn’t eat away at hard drive space.
It’s against my religion to recommend buying any further Oculus product. I want a unit like the Quest that can play standalone as well as plugged in but I was already on the fence because of Oculus being a Facebook product (before the window-pane-licking-IQ name change) and the reveal of them lying about needing a FB account was the nail in the coffin for me.
My thoughts exactly. I know there was news on a standalone recent though I can’t remember who from. Very much not in the same price bracket as the Quest, unfortunately.
Edit: it was the HTC Vive XR Elite I was trying to think of.
I think Life is Strange (I’ve only played the first one) may possibly be of interest. There’s no action like GTA or Watchdogs, but it’s all about your interactions with the NPCs and the town.
It felt there was blowback at the ending when it came out because people said your choices didn’t matter, but I thought the point of the game was to influence you to make thoughtful and impactful decisions, not to influence the NPCs. I really got a lot out of the experience.
There are moments the game won’t tell you about like when opening a window or watering a plant will change future events. Whether you find this outcomes significant or not will be related to your enjoyment of the game as whole.
Recently my wife and I agreed on me having one set night a week for gaming and it’s been great. I get my gaming time in but it’s a reasonable amount considering all the other responsibilities of work and parenting
We have this as well. Wednesday night is CS GO with the boys for me. Sometimes I skip it, but it’s nice to have it planned out, when everything else feels like chaos.
My girls are still only 1 and 3, but so far I’m sneaking in an hour or two in the evening, after everyone else has gone to bed. I’ve started introducing the older one to Pokemon Go and Let’s Go Pikachu, and she loves it so far despite not knowing much english. Hopefully I can get them into gaming so we can have that in comon 😄
I have never been into Pokémon before my kids started to play Pokémon GO a couple of years ago. It was really nice to have a pastime that we all enjoyed.
They still play occasionally but I became hooked on Pogo. So you might find new gamed when playing games together with the kids, be sure to give it a try if your kids are playing it.
Wait until they are 12 (-ish) and they decide you are uncool
Otherwise, you’re doing what I ended up doing. There was a long span that, I just… never played games because I was too busy. I regret that a bit because it’s a thing that makes me happy and even if I’m “Dad”, I’m still a person that deserves some time for “me”.
This more or less. My wife games too. We went through periods where we probably gamed too much and had to correct that behavior (house was becoming a mess and kids ignored school too much)
For us it put a decent amount of pressure on our marriage for a while until we admitted that gaming needed to take a backseat to life in general. Its hard. I grew up with gaming and both my wife and I were 8+ hours a day of MMO before kids. But life demanded we become adults for a while and be responsible.
My kids are finally on the older side where their demands on my time is lower. I still don’t game much before dinner and most house chores are done. I try to game with them a bit after dinner and then I get about 1.5 to 2 hours to play a few League of Legends games (yes, I know i hate myself) if I don’t want to ruin my sleep.
Dlaczego libertarianizm ma złą opinię? Na moją opinię wpływają dwa powody: politycy i publicyści libertariańscy często zawiązywali sojusze z skrajną prawicą i popierali zbrodniarzy typu Pinochet, czy Putin. Po drugie wielu fanów libertarianizmu ma bardzo mało wiedzy o tym jak funkcjonuje realna gospodarka. To wynika być może z faktu, że nauczanie historii skupia się głównie na wojnach a pomija historię gospodarczą. Ja sam pod koniec liceum miałem poglądy bliskie libertarianizmowi, a wyzbyłem się tego na studiach socjologicznych. I chyba sporo osób studiujących ten kierunek tak ma.
A możesz polecić literaturę która może podważyć czyjeś libertariańskie poglądy? Na przykład o wspomnianej historii gospodarczej. Chętnie konfrontuję swoje poglądy
“Geopolityka Głodu” Ziegler, “Urojenia ekonomii” Rist, "Źli samarytanie. Mit wolnego handlu i tajna historia kapitalizmu”.“23 rzeczy, których nie mówią ci o kapitalizmie” Ha-Joon Chang “13 Pięter” Springer,
Skrajna prawica to już nie liberalizm. Polskie opcje typu Konfederacja to nie liberalizm a skrajna prawica. Prowadzą do zamordyzmu ograniczania wolności ideologicznej i państwa katolickiego, z jakimiś tam wstawkami wolności gospodarczej. Właśnie się obawiam że większość myli liberalizm z prawicą konserwatywną
I need to add to the dishonored pile here. Deathloop is a much more doom-able game. Dishonored can be played in a fast way, but you can play the entire game with killing anyone, or being seen by anyone, or both. I highly recommend it, they scratch the itch.
Adding onto that, Dishonored 2 feels way more fun when playing non-lethal. Dishonored 1 kind of handicaps you if you decide not to kill enemies, whereas Dishonored 2 gives you a few more Options.
Both are incredible games though, definitely worth playing.
Yes, Dishonored is really fun. Having a good saving system (with quick save and load) makes it even better. I love to have the option to just fool around.
Adding on to this I heartily recommend MGS V. It is the culmination of the MGS formula in a mostly open world. While I love Kojima's bullshit, the previous MGS games had deep mechanics that you rarely got to play with because most the games were movies with an occasional game.
The story is kind of all over the place but the gameplay more then makes up for for it.
MGS1 is available on GOG, but it’s definitely got that early 3D vibe that OP doesn’t seem to like. I think it’s aged pretty well, considering it’s a PS1 title.
Chyba już wszystko zostało napisane (może poza relacją libertarianizmu, jak ja go rozumiem, do odpowiedzialności osobistej - pomijając przy tym problemy systemowe + brak nacisku na pomoc wzajemną i wspólnotowość)
Na pewno mogę polecić lekki reportarz na temat niedawnego projektu libertariańskiego w Grafton (na północy przy New Hempshire) w USA pt. “A libertarian walks into a bear” (w polskiej wersji “Niedźwiedzia przysługa”). Najbardziej uderzyły mnie w nim próby (libertariańskiego grona) zamknięcia bibliotek publicznych i zatrzymywanie projektów zwiększających dostępność do budynków dla osób z niepełnosprawnościami.
Z racji, że moje umiejętności z zakresu obsługi komputera zaczynają się i konczą na jego włączeniu i wylączeniu, to nie jestem w stanie podać bezoiecznego źródła do pobrania ebooka albo PDFa z książką :c W moim przypadku reportarz był wypożyczony z biblioteki.
I’m really intrigued by this! How long do you need to play for it to feel “meaningful.” I find with a lot of MMOs, I need a few hours to really get into it.
