tigeruppercut,

I’m pretty sure you can still find people playing Doom deathmatch online, although these days it might be more limited to various events rather than finding random folks online any given day. The modding community is still going strong after 30 years though

It’s about having fun, not winning

11111one11111,

Is it tho when you are taking out a second mortgage to pay for the hardware in your gaming set up?🤣 /s

lordnikon,

I mean maybe gaming is not the end goal for those types of people. Some people just like setting up and maintaining server hardware. One of my favorite things was maintaining a Team fortress classic dedicated server. It’s fun watching others have fun.

Yeah I guess you could use it for CTF in a cyber security sense as well.

AtariDump,

Hack the planet!! It’s all garbage!

11111one11111,

I was just making a joke cuz I’ve never seen that much hardware in a single tower before lol but I agree with you 100%.

lordnikon,

Yeah your joke was funny. When I worked in the data center I would see way more than that in a rack. From what I can tell it’s only one server in that rack the rest is 2 drive arrays, a network switch, Two patch panels, a monitor, and an UPS.

Titanfall 2 servers were brought back online after being down for awhile.

I still play Starcraft 2 occasionally.

earned_myself_a_gin,

Is there any community or a different set of servers to point to? Titanfall 2 was my favorite game before the DDoSes, and when I’ve periodically checked you can try matchmaking but there’s nobody left to play with anymore. Is there a Discord or another set of servers or something?

Screen_Shatter,

I’m actually not sure, its my kid who plays. He was very excited and playing on xbox. I thought it was cool and unexpected but I guess maybe it died back down again.

Bogusmcfakester,

On pc there’s a thing called the Northstar client that was pretty active during the ddos times

Varying9125,

I just found out about north star and looked into buying TF2, its $30 on steam! wtf I remember seeing it for like $3 before

pedro,

You can get EA keys dirt cheap on the grey market. Alternatively just wait for a sale and it will be a few quid on steam

It’s been on steep discount often, as recently as May 1st. Just gotta wait for the sale, it’ll go on again. isthereanydeal.com/game/…/history/

truxnell, do gaming w What a waste

That monitor layout would be my personal hell

PyroNeurosis,

It’s exceedingly functional! I have a similar one: main monitor for games, portrait monitor for discord/reading, and a third for videos/browser/misc.

truxnell,

Totally get the utility, it’s just the combo that does me in.

I’m running triple but it’s a 42"C4 OLED with twin 1920 X 1200 in portrait either side. I do similar, but it looks much much better.

Quicksave

Kills NPC in the most brutal way possible

Loots

“Huh, so that is what they have”

Quickload

Many such cases

simple,

It’s more like:

Quicksave

Pickpocket an NPC - 70% chance

THIEF! GUAAARRRDDSSS-

Quickload

Repeat until you succeed for every single NPC

Meanwhile, Jak & Daxter and Sly Cooper languish as distant memories

codexarcanum,

While true and sad, I did just learn about OpenGOAL. The team has created a new engine to run the original code of Jak1 and Jak2 (working on 3), so you can now play them natively on PC! Jak1 has been working great, its a lot of fun to revisit!

No Sly Cooper remakes yet sadly, stealth games always get ignored.

I wonder if we can get Andy Gavin on board with helping? That’d be an epic move

@PillowTalk420@lemmy.world avatar

I wish the logic was more like a real store (some roguelikes do this so it’s not even a new concept) so you can grab whatever you want and it’s only stealing if you try to exit the store without paying.

_spiffy, do gaming w I can't believe we get a free game with the new doom soundtrack.
@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

People are upset about doom. I’m enjoying it, the engine is crazy cool and I love how badass I feel playing it. I get that it’s not a super long game, but I’m ok with that. I like just hopping in, murdering demons and being badass for short periods of time.

SolidShake,

I’m not upset about it. The soundtrack though is amazing

weirdo_from_space,

Are they? It seems like peope enjoyed it a lot. Apparently music is a big downgrade, which sucks, but game still looks awesome overall.

I’d add Bubsy, but that cat did get a new game in 2017

On the other hand, Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel and Awesome Possum are right there!

Osprey, do games w Wait, that game is still playable online?

Istaria, previously known as Horizons. Still the only MMORPG (to my knowledge) with dragons as a playable race.

HiTekRedNek,

Materia Magica has had a playable race called dracon since the 1990s. Back then it was called Moongate Online.

It’s a MUD. The precursor to the graphical MMORPG genre.

And yes, people still play MUDs online.

fleg, do zapytajszmer w CB radio - co sądzicie?

Nie wiem, czy PMR nie byłby lepszy (tańszyi mniejszy). Ale jeśli Ci nie wystarcza to pewnie, czemu nie.

Można też próbować sobie robić sieci komputerowe bezprzewodowe. Mnóstwo radiówek wyprzedaje swój sprzęt i można kupić kierunkowe anteny WiFi za grosze. Jeśli masz widoczność optyczna to powinno działać.

Back 4 Blood was the game that served as the idea for this post.

I recently felt like picking up some cheap copies of it to play with a few friends, and decided to launch it once ahead of time just to test it out and see how it ran. I picked “Online” mode out of habit, feeling it would likely search for a bit before handing me 3 bots to play singleplayer. Instead, I actually got a decent group of people together several days in a row.

In B4B’s case, while the developers visibly “abandoned” the game in news headlines, the form it exists in is very playable and generally bug-free, even if its ultra-highest-difficulty “endgame” allegedly lacks some refinement. It got a lot of outlash for not matching the playstyle of Left 4 Dead; having players use a deep system of roguelike-style upgrades. Since the enemies escalate in difficulty, those upgrades are often necessary and can connect with team strategy. It’s now on PS+, and since it’s crossplay, Steam players will get a lot of queue buddies. It’s also playable with just 2 people since the other 2 characters will just be bots.

DarkFuture,
@DarkFuture@lemmy.world avatar

I gave up on B4B pretty quickly because after your team dies a couple times you’re sent back to the beginning of the campaign, instead of the beginning of the level, like in L4D. Then everyone just drops out of frustration. Made trying the harder difficulties pointless. Was a really bad design decision.

mic_check_one_two, do games w Wait, that game is still playable online?

My buddy still regularly plays EverQuest Online. These days, it’s sort of expected that you multibox and run an entire party, instead of just one character. He usually has his bots pulling mobs in the background of whatever other game we happen to be playing.
