Ilandar, do gaming w What are the scariest games you've played?

I found 999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors to be very unsettling. I played it in bed at night with headphones on and it totally sucked me in. I guess this is a different type of horror to many of the games suggested here, which I personally don’t find scary.

Megaman_EXE,

Ohh I’ve wanted to play the zero escape series at some point. I didn’t realize it could be unsettling! Cool I will put it on the list, thanks!

Ilandar,

The first game is much creepier than the second, I think due to a combination of the character designs, the writing and the general plot. The second game feels more akin to Danganronpa, in that the characters and setting are a bit surreal. Because it was a 3DS game, it also uses cartoony 3D models that make everything a bit lighter and less gritty than the original game. I haven’t played the third one yet (still need to get around to 100% completing the second game).

The 3DO.

I didn’t have many games for it, and emulation I think is kinda sketchy last I checked (I think the main emulator is all in Russian?) But it was full of FMV’s and all the fun that came with them.

Twisted: The game show is one of my favorite titles, but parts of it are definitely a product of its time (specifically the trivia)

sleepybisexual,

Cool :3

I kick-started the Ouya, years and years back. Played a few games on it, but it was just too underpowered.

The GCW Zero was another similar story; just an underpowered handheld console.

I really like the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. It’s a non-major console that is 1000% worth the money.

sleepybisexual,

I also have an rp4 pro. I also have an ambernic sp.

I unironically want something like the ouya as a dedicated TV emulator box. For a 2013 device up to ps1 seems goob for the gcw. Tho open Linux handhelds are a dime a dozen now

t3rmit3,

My GCW is too slow to play anything, honestly. It struggles with even GBA games. I love the idea of the Ouya as well, but I think that I’ll probably just go with an rPi if I ever go that route again.

sleepybisexual,

Oh, I thought it was a standard up to ps1 system. Ya a pi or nodded android box is likely better

I had a Sega GameGear as a kid. Yeah it was a Sega system, which Sega was major back then, but the GameGear was nothing compared to the Gameboy. Very cool system, in that it had a full color screen and was backlit.

Now that was at the expense of being heavy as all hell and a monster eater of AA batteries. 6 of them at at time!

I think that was basically the only non-major system I had.

sleepybisexual,

Well, I’d still see it as major. That said it is cool :3

Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s requiem. It’s an older game, GameCube era. I don’t like horror games and this one isn’t true horror. There are some good jump scares and body horror though. I had to stop after a certain scene because of the jump scares. The sanity system is really great.

Megaman_EXE,

I’ve always heard about this game from time to time. It’s one I really want to try at some point. It sounds amazing!

nik9000,

I recommend it. Try to go in blind.

I am not a fan of horror games all that much, and Half-Life Alyx is not one, but the horror elements are stronger than previous titles and I still haven’t finished the game because of that. The game is incredible, but I just can’t get past the scary parts.

Cuttlersan,

“Hey there, Jeff” (0.0) that bit had me stuck for a month until I decided to push through it!

UlyssesT, do astronomy w Elon Musk destroys astronomy

Some of Musk’s bootlickers have said to me, offline in person, that the le epic Starlink debris in space fucking with astronomy (as it has for a while now) “will only encourage the exodus off planet” followed by the PR spiel about “humans must become interplanetary species.”

May as well say that the cradle must be burned with the baby in it so the baby is encouraged to compete in Olympic track and field.

100_kg_90_de_belin,

All those sci-fi movies about human beings acting as an interplanetary infection only to find retribution at the hands (paws? Claws? Appendages) of an eldritch creature taught us nothing 😔

Looking forward to when Europe and China also launch their own satellite internet constellations

AlligatorBlizzard,

Loved that manga, I should re-read it and try watching the show again.

Nah, that’s a fucking euphemism, we need a better word to describe it

frank, do games w Frostpunk 2: Review Thread

So I’m ~5 hours into the story so far. I was super worried it’d be a bad followup to the first game, which I loved.

It’s pretty different, without getting into any spoilers, but I’m really enjoying it at this point. It’s well done, the atmosphere and decisions are on point, and the micro management seems lesser.

A few UI complaints, I found a tiny bug, but all in all it seems like a good and long single player immersive story city builder. Exactly what I want from the series.

I’d give it a preliminary 8.5/10 because I’m biased and love the first one.

I want to open a Final Fantasy-themed Vietnamese restaurant in south central Arizona. I’m going to call it “Pho Enix”.

Not sure where to open up shop, but I’m thinking Scottsdale.

If you don’t have Hrothgar themed servers I won’t even consider it

If the budget is there then I’ll consider it, kupo!

My first system I could call my own (not sharing with siblings) was the fat Nintendo DS. It will always be my favourite out of nostalgia.

But my primary DS is my New 3DS, does everything want and plays everything.

For me the DS is the Pokemon machine, from the mainline series to the spin offs. Such a good time to be a fan of Pokemon. Even the knockoffs were fun like Fossil fighters.

The DS was also a good rpg power house the first system I beat Chrono Trigger on.

Then there was the slog of platformers, from new Mario bros, to license of game dubious quality, nicktoons unite anyone?

The 3DS was just an overall disappointment in comparison, game selection was limited and 3rd parties just didn’t give it the time of day. Don’t get me wrong love my 2d Zelda and Metroid revivals on it, but outside of Nintendo games, it didn’t offer me anything.

How do you stand image scaling on 3DS? It’s either poststamp sized or horribly mangled by non-integer scaling on a very low res display. It’s the reason I keep DSi along NN3DS.

the16bitgamer,
@the16bitgamer@programming.dev avatar

Honestly since the New 3DS screen is so small, the slight blurring is negligible to my eyes. So long as there isn’t certificating in the image, like shimmering and or screen tearing, I don’t noticed it.

callouscomic, do gaming w Let's discuss: Nintendo DS

2DS was a solid brick. It was genius for little kids.

DdCno1,

Still is. Better than giving them smartphones and it’s not like there’s a comparable newer device, except for maybe some emulation systems.
