Just finished Steamworld Dig 2 for the second time, 100%ing it. Love that game. Started Bloodstained. Its alright, but it gets a little grindy near the mid to late game. I installed a mod that increases drop chances by 10% additive. Makes it less grindy, so I’m enjoying that. Also playing bloons TD 6. For funsies.

theangriestbird,

SWD2 is so fun, just a nice, breezy lil metroidvania. Does the cool metroidvania thing where the endgame mobility upgrades make you feel like a ninja grappling all over the place.

I don’t know what’s so impressive about the water, looks the same as water in every other 3D game from 1998?

I think Wave Race 64 had the best water on N64 iirc.

I also think MGS on PS1 had more impressive water.

Also Redline Racer on PC had quite impressive water for the time, but yeah, was PC, so not really a fair comparison 😅

idk, maybe it’s just me being picky or some sort of placebo on my part. I just like the different ways it looks for the most part lol

GG! Easy match! If the players are anything like the actual software, they’re slow, extremely unresponsive when you need anything critical done, and will crash out of the lobby before the game ends.

Jankatarch,

You will play against them next match tho, and the one after that, and so on. Your boss will force you to only play with them from now on, even tho format is portable.

Baguette,

Nah I’ve seen word.exe, they’re so good they’re banned from tournaments

I’m addicted to Broken Arrow. I haven’t played a war RTS since World In Conflict. I’m pretty terrible at it and it’s taking time to learn how to put together a deck, but I’m really enjoying the multiplayer.

theangriestbird,

seems really cool! I like the flexible interpretation of the “point buy” system that tabletop wargames use.

Developer Steel Balalaika is based in Russia.

Not so fond of putting any money into Russia’s tax base, though. No shade to the devs who are probably cool people, I just struggle with making this kind of choice in our shitty modern world 😔

eagleeyedtiger,

Damn I didn’t even consider that honestly! It was an impulse buy because I was looking for something new to play. Can’t really refund either as I got it through a cdkey site. Feeling conflicted, but it’s been really fun 🙁

theangriestbird,

It’s okay, don’t feel bad! This is the kind of political decision where I don’t fault anyone for making either choice. Boycotting Russia is noble, but so is supporting devs for making amazing games!

I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I much prefer the original N64 models and textures over the 3DS.

Maybe it’s just nostalgia but I feel like the 3DS graphics have aged much worse since it released.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

fair enough lol. i grew up on the 3DS one so it’s probably nostalgia for me too, though i honestly i mostly prefer the graphics just because something about N64 Link’s nose bothers me

Wow a spread sheet of water in games,impressive; that speaks of love for the medium. Do you only rank the best? Or do you also keep track of the worst intances of water in games?

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

i catalog it all on a Scale of 1-10 whenever i play a new game (w/ water ofc)

On my seventh attempt, I walked into a store and was told yes when asking if there were any Switch 2s in stock. The young cashier adorably turned to his older coworker and unironically said “Wow, that’s four in one day! You weren’t kidding about these things.”

So anyways the past few days have been a blur of Mario Kart World. The new mechanics are a challenge to learn but they’re a challenge I’m delighted to have and make me feel incredible when I’m using them well, the soundtrack full of remixed classics on par with the best of Final Fantasy VII Remake’s that are just there to fill the empty space between the proper racetracks, and I was not prepared for HDR in the hands of Nintendo’s artists. This game is by far the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen on a screen and that was already true before I looked up how to use that shockingly unhelpful calibration tool the Switch 2 has and now it’s twice as beautiful on top of that.

The sole complaint I have about this game is that I’m not enjoying Waluigi’s new voice actor. I can’t hear the pain underlying the mania that Martinet understood was core to the otherwise ill defined character. His animations and his costumes are so fucking good, though, it’s hard to even care that his voice is downgraded.

Are there enough Teams logos/Icons to do a full 5 player roster?

dejected_warp_core,

I think there’s enough for way more than that if we dip into the whole O365 suite.

I see a 7/10 in there that seems the most honest.

hal_5700X, do games w Death Stranding 2: On the Beach | Review Thread (92/100 OpenCritic)

This looks like a 5/10 game at best. That sucks. Because I like the first game.

EncryptKeeper,

What about the 92 metacritic score and the vast majority of reviews calling it “better than the first game in every way” makes it look like a 5/10 for you?

hal_5700X, (edited )

What was the biggest complaint about the first game? It was boring. Kojima over did it with the crazy stuff to counter that complaint. You have many musical moments and the final boss fight like he just watch FLCL for the first time. I like the first game’s more lay back vibe.

EDIT Also Kojima needs a co-writer bad.

EncryptKeeper,

The first game is a ton of fun. And seems to have been an 8/10 game. This one is evidently more so and is a 9/10 game. How you get 5/10 from that I’ll never know.

I think the DS games are just not for you.

hal_5700X,

How you get 5/10 from that I’ll never know.

I just told you.

I think the DS games are just not for you.

I said I like the first one.

Back when Dota 2 had player icons in a vertical collumn I once saw a Kim Jong Il team with names like “his glorious head” and “his glorious hands”.

Absolutely mopped the floor with them, but still funny.

Ah the shitty North Korea style exodia

EvacuateSoul,

My friends and I used to play CS as TheCatsPajamas, TheBeesKnees, TheSnakesHips, etc

pulsewidth,

Good times, I remember that and the face of Gaben.

Gaben’s glorious brow
Gaben’s wise eyes
Gaben’s sculpted nose
Gaben’s loving smile
Gaben’s modest chin

Something like that.

who, (edited ) do games w RDR2 on Fedora 42 stuck in borderless windowed, can’t force fullscreen

The first things I would try would be:

  • Using an X11 desktop session instead of Wayland.
  • Using a different Proton version.
  • Making sure those width/height/refresh command line options are valid and match my monitor’s native specs. (By the way, DXVK_FRAME_RATE is for Direct3D 8/9/10/11 games running with DXVK, and doesn’t set the display’s refresh rate in any case. It won’t help you with this problem.)

After that, I would start reading the discussion here:

github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3291

This comment seems relevant, as does this one. There are plenty more.

DXVK_FRAME_RATE

I just finished Cult of the Lamb. To was a quick buy satisfying play through. I love the snappy roll/dodge mechanic.
