AZERTY, do gaming w Christmas / New Year Steam Game Giveaway

Hello, honestly I’ve been in a gaming rut. I’ve been playing Halo MCC with one friend group, and Peak with the other. I’ll take any shooter, open world game, or friend slop multiplayer game.

Nah the best bug was cats dying of alcohol poisoning because they’d walk through the tavern, get booze spilled on them, and then lick it off themselves when cleaning. Since they weren’t programmed to drink booze directly, they had 0 tolerance for it and would easily die from it.

RichardDegenne,

Nonono, alcohol tolerance is a function of the creature’s weight, and it works perfectly.

The problem was the amount of alcohol that would get transferred on their paws when walking on spilled booze. If the alcohol was spilled from a mug, then the game would place the equivalent of a full mug of booze on each paw, which would then be ingested when the cat cleaned them.

Four full mugs of beer would be more than enough to waste anything the size of a cat.

Xenny,

Thank you for posting this correction. I was about to do it but you have saved me the trouble. Here have one of these Lemmy arrows

Smokeless7048,

My favorite was groundhogs biteing with their faces. Not their mouthes, their entire faces.

They would bite a lion I’m half.

I’m going from memory, and can’t find a link.

rumba,

Jesus, I need to read that source code.

You and me both. I want to mod shit into the game that can’t be done through the RAWs. 😩

The kicker is, everything you mentioned is intended behavior.

  • animals wander around (maybe implemented just to make things more lively)
  • creatures get splattered with whatever liquids are splashing around (perhaps initially implemented to have dwarfs get splattered with blood on a kill or to have things gradually get wet close to a waterfall)
  • animals clean themselves, licking off whatever dirt there is

All these mechanics just naturally interact, by virtue of being implemented in a generic way, which allows for this amazing emergent behavior.
IIRC the bug was that the amount of booze ingested by the cats during cleaning wasn’t scaled correctly to how much splatter they received or should’ve. Either way they ended up with excessive amounts of alcohol and overdosed immediately.

This was me with Horizon Zero Dawn. I finished my first playthrough without ever fast traveling. Then after the credits rolled I spammed it.
No ragrets. Was fun.

Same.

But that’s why good fast travel is important. Once you’ve seen the world, you can skip the stuff you’ve already done.

dalekcaan,

But even more important is a world you want to see so you don’t want to fast travel at first.

Looking at you, Starfield.

And if you do have a shitty world, make sure the fast travel is actually fast.

Looking at you, Starfield.

Visual novels would be good if you're looking for something low-energy.

I’ve been hooked on Dragon’s Dogma 2 for a bit now.

I haven’t even used a fast-travel item because world traversal and exploration is so much fun. It’s a game that actually uses it’s open world as something other than an overworld to move to the next quest.

Stardew valley and terraria

Quetzalcutlass,

Terraria has an option to pause while in menus, which is useful when you’re sick and might suddenly need to run to the bathroom at any time.

aramis87,

You can pause Stardew by bringing up the menu.

I’m practically allergic to fast travel, no matter the game. I don’t play games to “get through them”. If I’m playing something where I’m that bored with traveling in an alternate universe, I should probably just pick another game.

I take transit in Cyberpunk and it makes the world feel way more alive. Downtime is something some games are entirely built around so the moments of action have that much more impact. I admit some games do this poorly, but those are ones I typically just avoid in the first place.

I like when my games feel more like roleplay and less like an action movie.

@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

Wait, does this mean they got the train working?! I haven’t played since early on.

otacon239,

Yes! There is so much they’ve added since launch. You should absolutely replay.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world avatar

Ok, I really should. It was a major disappointment when I played at launch and looked everywhere for how to board the train and couldn’t find it.

I’m currently playing The Outer Worlds on the hardest difficulty which, among other things, disallowes fast-travel. For the most part, the worlds have been small and it hadn’t been a problem, but yesterday I had to go back and forth to 3 locations several times in a row in different corners of the map. It only took a five minutes each time, but ugh. It got old.

Games that are turn based or allow you to pause or control speed:

  • xcom
  • city builders
  • sims
  • anno
  • paradox games (probably just stellaris since that has difficulty settings)
  • cRPGs
  • card games like slay the spire
  • minecraft
  • mmos that don’t require you to think, guildwars 2 just let’s you run around and auto attack that’s pretty effective…

Any chance you can get a picture of it next to an original SP for size comparison?

StringPotatoTheory, do games w What are some good games to play while sick?

I played Fantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time when I was sick. It’s a very chill game where you can run around and do different “jobs” like fishing, woodcutting, mining, various crafting, and combat.

Along with Hello Kitty Island Adventure which is similar to Animal Crossing in some ways but heavier on quests and befriending the characters. There’s a lot of reading though but I skim through most of it.

zaphod, do gaming w Watching my integrity slip away after having to backtrack once.

Depends on the game, is travelling fun and/or the world interesting to look at? I never used fast travel in Spider-Man.

Broadfern, do games w Any good games I missed in the last 21 months?
@Broadfern@lemmy.world avatar

Depends what you’re looking for.

Adventure/RPGs: Oblivion remaster and Avowed both came out with pretty good ratings overall. Ghost of Tsushima was also a big hit last year, came out in May 2024.

Multiplayer indies had a good year as well - Repo, Peak, and Escape from Duckov have been popular.

Cozy/niche games: Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Deltarune, Slime Rancher 2.

Niche games I’ve personally enjoyed and/or want to get: Mudborne, Cryptmaster, Dungeons of Hinterberg, LAN Party Adventures, The Lonesome Guild, and Little Rocket Lab.

Eyck_of_denesle,

Escape from Duckov is a single player game.
