Not a funny line but I laughed out loud when selling items in Lethal Company for the first time. It’s an absurd game made with humor, and the multiplayer gameplay creates a lot of hilarious situations.
Sir Whoopass when the goblins are looking for a wifi connection.
Bro whatcookie had like the exact same experiences I had at that time! Never owned a PS3 until the lock down cause I wanted to play demon’s souls, cause I have a been a souls fan since dark souls prepare to die on PC! Also the PS3 I bought was the slim, just like yours. And until now, I didn’t think any of my systems could handle the emulation of it and your telling me my steam deck can‽ I mean, it’s kind of a moot point as I already have an actual PS3 that’s been letterbombed and multiman’d. But knowing I can take grand Turismo 6 on the go with me if pretty fucking dope!
When I was talking about this with a friend, we discussed how let’s play videos could serve as a substitute for playing the game if you just want the story. But of course this has it’s own problems. The pacing may still be bad, the video maker’s commentary might be distracting, and if you decide to go this route before even purchasing the game, the dev isn’t even financially rewarded for the work they did at least creating a story you liked.
Just mentioning this because you might not be aware of it, but there’s “no commentary” players, actually. They just play the game and never speak, so you get to watch the gameplay, the story, etc. without someone interjecting their thoughts. One channel that plays quite a lot of games is MKIceAndFire. They sometimes upload alternative endings/choices, and “story cuts” where a story-rich game is stripped from most of the gameplay so you can watch the story.
And I think the devs still get compensation, because these let’s plays are basically free advertising. I’ve bought games after watching a few episodes of a game I wasn’t sure of, which would have given me a lot of pause with the 2-hour limit to refund on Steam.
MKIceandFire is probably one of the best no commentary Let’s Players on all of YouTube. It’s just gameplay and no bullshit. And they edit out any grinding and unnecessary side stuff; like their playthrough of Spider-Man 2, they would regularly edit around breaks and collecting things to just show you more of the story. And they have different ways to watch, from one long video of the entire story, to breaking it up into multiple 15 minute+ videos in their own playlists.
Agreed. I regretfully left out a lot of it when mentioning MK.
They also leave any readable lore open long enough to give you time to pause the video and read it at your own pace. And they’re very throughout about exploring, looting, etc but as you say, they edit out anything boring like grinding. So you get a very smooth gameplay video that is worth watching, and hardly frustrating. I’ve used their videos to find collectables in some games, too.
Can you highlight where you link this steam deck advice? There are no references to steam, steamdeck or linux in the article, and the only links are to the projects websites. Do they have a steamdeck guide?
EDIT: They have a steam deck installer on this page with the others:
