Personally, I am playing Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2 on easy. They come from an era where if you aren’t suffering through it then you must really suck. Personally, I don’t have time to fight the same boss for an hour only to die when he gets down to the last 5% and start over again, I only get a few hours after work to game. However, the story is honestly pretty good, and I recommend them - if you play on easy.

FTL. At least until you’ve beaten the game several times

SuperSaiyanSwag,

This is such a good answer. I remember playing it on easy back in the day and the final boss still kicked my ass.

smeg,

I remember having some really solid runs, easily beating every enemy I encountered… and then not even being able to make a dent on the final boss

RisingSwell,

I spend the entire game prepping for the boss. Just because I can ohko every other ship the moment I land doesn’t mean I can touch the beast. I’ve done the last sector without taking a hit just to never even get past the shields in phase 1

smeg,

Yep, that’s what everyone realises after getting stomped a few times!

ahal,

I think that’s my main complaint with the game. Once you find a way to beat the boss, you just go for that build every time. It’s so punishing and the path to get there is so long, that it’s a massive disincentive to try new things.

That's a good example. You simply can't grasp optimal choices or know possible events and outcomes before going through it a great deal of times, and it's likely that you'll get killed too fast to experience much if you start on normal. You definitely end up switching to normal as you improve, learn, and unlock, but it really benefits and smoothens the learning curve to start easier.

smeg,

Into the Breach too, it’s just a less brutal way to learn how to play

DdCno1,

And once the game has become a breeze, with 100% of your runs being a success, install the Captain’s Edition mod and suddenly, it’s a pleasantly challenging title again. The add-on that turns it into an endless game in particular is so good, I spent dozens of hours playing it.

henfredemars,

Shoutout to Twinge’s Balance Mod. It’s actively maintained, and it makes the game more interesting by encouraging use of unpopular weapons and systems

Captain’s is great too, but it can be overwhelming.

DdCno1,

Thanks for the recommendation!

The difficult steps in FTL are no joke. I was having no difficulty clearing on easy and was just trying to unlock all the ships. Once I did I switched to normal and had to restart 3 times before getting out of the first sector.

Surprised to see it 98% off. I thought Steam capped discounts to 90% a few years ago?

I recall someone who build some automated system to measure input latency on gamepads, who gathered data for a bunch over different interfaces, which is a subset of that. They had some sort of automated testing system, moved the controls automatically with a microcontroller-driven system.

looks

Neither of them are what I’m remembering, but it looks like multiple people have built input latency databases.

rpubs.com/misteraddons/inputlatency

gamepadla.com

The second looks close to what you might want. Each controller has a page with a fair amount of information.

EDIT: I don’t think that this is what I was thinking of either, but looks like another microcontroller-based system to measure input latency:

github.com/maziac/lagmeter

EDIT2: Also not what I was thinking of, but yet another input latency measurement project:

epub.uni-regensburg.de/…/ExtendedAbstractLatencyC…

EDIT3: Also not what I was thinking of, but another:

github.com/finger563/esp-usb-latency-test

TwilightKiddy,

That’s some good data! I’m mostly interested in filtering by Linux support and latency/accuracy measurements. Some of them are very helpful, thank you!

Started playing Star Trucker - it’s pretty interesting, reminds me a lot of the cargo hauling loop in Star Citizen. The differece is that this doesn’t crash anywhere near as much, runs on my Steam Deck, and boots a lot quicker too.

russjr08,

This is what I’ve been playing too, and I’m having an absolute blast with it!

Ubisoft also announced both The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest will have an offline mode (twitter post, screenshot). Looks like the Stop Killing Games campaign is working.

Speaking of, if you’re in EU make sure to sign the The European Citizens’ Initiative petition - we’re already over 30% required signatures!

Note: it doesn’t currently work on Steam Deck and Linux in general because of the anti cheat. UbiSoft announced they will add an offline mode, so maybe they will partially disable it later.

Ubisoft won’t even be getting a dollar from me

SomethingBurger,

Technically, they would be getting $0.70. 30% is going to Valve.

dinckelman,

The point is that they’re not getting anything from me. I’d would much rather spend that extra dollar on a really good indie game.

On the topic of which, i’ve finished Tunic today, and it’s been absolutely excellent. Strongly recommended

cyberpunk007,

Yup. Last game I bought from them was Phoenix rising or something on the switch. Actually pretty fun. Until I learned I had to work around the forced login and online bullshit by throwing it in airplane mode at a specific time then suspending and resuming or some goofy ass shit. It’s a single player game. No I will not create and connect a useless account.

Been replaying Detroit: Become Human. The first time i tired playing years ago on Windows it would crash all the time. Now that I’m on Linux it runs great. I just beat the game amd have to say that it is an absolute masterpiece. So many options to choose from but at least from what I choose the story held together flawlessly.

I think I just slipped a disk

CasualGameFromSomewhere,

HAHAHA, man You maybe right somehow, but I was too young at that, I didn’t pay attention to the story, even I thought why this game is just about sailing, our character is just on ship all the time… But yeah, I was a kid, and also yeah, I’m older than before ;)

mb_,

Damn… You too?

My absolute favorite AC game. My wife just got me Sideshow’s Edward Animus statue for my birthday. It’s stunning.
