Im honestly not a fan of Expedition 33 right now. I dislike the dodge/parry mechanics being nearly a requirement. Im going to give it a few more tries before I give up entirely.

idiomaddict, do gaming w A typical relationship in Crusader Kings III

I’ve figured it out. Imagine that Mia farrow and woody Allen were cousins and Soon-Yi were the child of Farrow’s deceased previous husband (I assume there’s no divorce, but I’ve never played this game). Then Soon-Yi marries a sibling of Ronan Farrow, who also dies. Now, if she and Ronan farrow get married, she’s his cousin, half-sister, sister-in-law, niece, and wife.

Then if he’s the king and they like each other, she’s the queen, his vassal, and his friend.

Edit: I guess Mia farrow would also have to be dead for Soon-Yi and Allen to have gotten married.

I picked up Void Crew, it’s been fun but I’m still unsure how to do anything but shoot guns 😅 and the community seems very nice, only met one troll so far who was promptly banned from our group. Would recommend

criss_cross, do games w Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons

Activision has always been awful but they’ve really done their damndest to ensure I never want to play a COD game again

  • Requires a phone number to play online
  • Their UI is the absolute worst thing I’ve laid eyes on. It spends more time advertising other products instead of showing, yknow, how to launch the game I paid money for. I quite literally had to google how to launch the CoD remake because their UI was so confusing
  • install sizes are absurd. I still remember the COD remake took 500GB to install
  • and now micro transactions in loadout screens

And this doesn’t even include all the fuckery with their C-Suite.

I don’t know why they make it so awful to try to play the game you paid full price for.

slaneesh_is_right,

I saw an activision sale on steam and was like: wow let’s see what they got in store. Just to realise that i don’t care at all.

As a long time SGG fan i agree. Personally im sad we’re getting a hades 2.

Bastion and Transistor absolutely don’t need sequels though

Are you emulating? if so, can you please test if splitscreen works ?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I am emulating! I’ll test multiplayer tonight if I can track down another controller. It might interest you as well to know that I’ve heard the PS3 Emulator can do online multiplayer through its Netplay. I haven’t tested that yet (I want to with a friend though)

warmaster,

Thank you for testing it! Are you using Xenia through a launcher (RetroDeck/Emudeck/Retroarch)? Are you on Windows or Linux? any setup recommendations or should I just put the bios files and rom and it’s ready to go?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m using Emudeck on Bazzite with GNOME. It’s an entirely AMD based build.

I was mostly just able to install and go. There were two issues but they’re pretty minor and easy to fix:

  1. I had to go into the launch script for Xenia provided by Emudeck to change the proton version used though because it wasn’t compatible with the base version used. But that may have just been a me thing.
  2. Xenia has a weird quirk with Xbox Arcade games where you need to reopen and close the emulator too. It’s an intentional feature and I’m not really sure why it does that.

But besides those two things it works flawlessly. I have almost no bugs. I added it to Steam with Steam ROM Manager included with Emudeck and will launch it through that (or I’ll launch Minecraft, and then Xenia because of issue 2). Steam Input works fine and no tearing or graphical issues whatsoever.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I just finished testing it and It worked well. I’d assume you could play the entire game that way but I didn’t test it too long (and the controller for player 1 just sat idle) because it was just me playing.

mic_check_one_two, do games w Had a take about Supergiant Games that recieved a lot of pushback fromy teo longest eunning best friends.

I agree, but mostly because I dislike roguelikes. They get too repetitive and turn into a slog, and the success of your runs is often entirely dependent on which items you find.

I’d much rather have a tight, concise game with handmade maps. IME, roguelikes just pull the old NES/SNES trick of “well we can’t fit more data on the game cart, so just make the game harder to force players to replay it over and over again. That will artificially inflate the game length.”

Bastion and Transistor don’t need sequels, but I do wish they’d stop with the roguelikes.

samus12345,

I dislike roguelikes and soulslikes. It feels like that cuts out the vast majority of indie games being made nowadays.

tomi000,

Thats really not what roguelikes are. They wouldnt be one of the most popular genres ever if the base was laziness. Its more like being able to focus fully on the mechaincs/gameplay instead of spending countless hours designing worlds that either end up feeling repetitive anyway or you need to spend another few chunks of countless hours to make it feel good.

Besides, Hades is by faaaaaar their most successful game, it would be objectively stupid not to keep going with that at least for a while.

Hyphlosion, do games w Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons

I kinda regret getting Blackcell for Season 4. Even with a boost via Blackcell, the battle pass progression is super slow. I’m just not having fun this time around. Always matched against teams of super duper sweats who play like they’ve never touched a blade of grass in their lives.

(As a 9-5er, in B4 “skill issue.”)

The game feels more like a chore these days.

Maybe the steam deck can reclaim Steam’s old green theme.

I never finished bastion but I really liked it. I should replay it

MyDarkestTimeline01,

You really should.

Brotha_Jaufrey, do games w Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Now Promotes Microtransactions When You Swap Weapons

Simple, stop buying Call of Duty games. And for fucks sake, stop purchasing microtransactions.

I’ve boycotted Activision ever since I read how their treatment of a female employee led to her suicide.
