In Diablo 3, I always saved the NPCs in Act 2 while doing bounties, even though there was no incentive to do so. Dunno if it counts as feeling good, but could never bring myself to ignore their cries.
Noita: building wands with horrendous recoil. I know it's going to get me killed when I launch myself in to something dangerous, but it's just funny to be able to fly by the power of destroying everything in a given direction
a to nie jest tak że zlib, b-ok, i pare innych ciągną ze zbioru libgena?
znalazłem kiedyś taką stronę kundoc.com, nie wiem jak to działa, wygląda jak nieposortowany mały wycinek scihuba. tam są raczej pdfy artykułów naukowych ale nie tylko
Considering pretty much all the legally obtained digital download games I have on PC come from Steam, I think it’s safe to assume I’ll just get the game I want from Steam.
I’ve got to say, Steam’s native Wine/Proton implementation works decently well, and really entices me to buy games without native Linux support on Steam.
I’m lucky to have a friend group who all get together semi-frequently on Discord to try out any new games we’ve found and enjoy. We all have pretty similar tastes in games, sometimes a few of us will be playing something others might not enjoy and vice versa, but in those instances we’ll still hang out and chat but just play our separate games instead.
I would agree that one roadblock is that we all have less time now as adults with careers (and other responsibilities) than we did when we were students, but we do our best to make time all the same.
In terms of public multiplayer with randoms - not for me, tbh.
I just prefer single player games in general, so I don’t play many multiplayer games anymore. I can play at my own pace and I don’t have to worry about things like cheaters, lag, battle passes, etc. I do play FFXIV with some friends pretty often, and I sometimes play Halo and Rocket League, but those I usually play solo.
the pace of multiplayer games is something i hardly even consider, but it’s a good point. After a time it becomes exhausting if you’re trying to keep up with a “meta”.
It kind of doesn’t. Me and my brothers will play some Rocket League on a Monday night (assuming our kids are in bed) but aside from that my gaming is exclusively single-player.
Never been a big online gamer, but since having kids that’s basically become a non-starter.
it has very simple rules, but can get really crazy creative if you know your way around it.
player base is big enough so even if you are top 1% it’s still easy to find games.
there is no balance change or new character the throws you off and relearn your game plan
it’s average 7 minutes match for replay/kick off count down and queuing time.
you can totally drop it and then come back again after finish a single player game and it’s still going to be there.
it’s free to play but I did throw Psyonix about 60~100 per year to support their operation cost. Good pack/cosmetic didn’t come up often so I usually have at least 4000 credits sitting in my account.
I’m in the UK, so some of this might be UK centric:
Podcasts
Digital Foundry Weekly, Weekly podcast discussing gaming news/hardware etc (If you know DF you know what this is)
The Crate and Crowbar, PCGamerUK used to have a podcast and these guys move to this. Few friends talking about games and it’s decent (not overly technical or in depth, more just mates chatting).
IGN UK Podcast, absolutely love the personalities on this, it seems more like some mates chatting with a bit of structure (less like the IGN ethos of pushing as much out as possible).
VGC, Again a few mates chatting about games, good production values and I value their opinions.
RSS feeds
Eurogamer.net features, similar to DF, but they cover decent articles about games.
Uppercut - Features, doesn’t post often but has well thought out articles about games and they’re a joy to read.
Polygon - Feature, interesting articles about films/games. I don’t read them all just ones interesting or relevant to me.
Rock Paper Shotgun features, PC Gaming articles that explores interesting questions about newer/popular games.
IGN Feed, All the feeds above are features where it’s not just regurgitated news that spams your feed, they’re well thought out. Well IGN isn’t features, it’s just gaming news. I hardly read the artcles, just scroll the titles.
A bit related but do you like using RSS? I've never used it before because it never seemed like it was worth setting up. Do you recommend it/ is it worth it?
Pick all your favourite news/content/podcasts/youtube and set them up in an RSS app.
Then it’s all in one place, no visiting multiple apps/websites. It’s just there ready to go. You can then easily keep track of what you’ve read, haven’t read and saved.
first off, beautiful formatting! Jeff Grubb of current Giant Bomb has Andy Robinson from VGC on his morning show pretty frequently, I enjoy him. I do catch DF content and pods time to time as well.
I’ve never set up an RSS feed but might look into it, something to scroll on the can/ when i have a few mins of downtime would be nice. google’s served articles arent cutting it. Left the thing that previously filled this gap behind a few months ago.
