terminhell, do gaming w Why are arcade cabinets so expensive?

The cabinet and it’s own electronics.

sleepybisexual,

They have custom boards?

I thought they emulated nowadays

MajorHavoc,

Yeah. You’re both right.

The board is a usually a cheap single board computer (usually running Android, and an emulator or two).

The board is custom to the extent that the operating system has been optimized to know that it’s running inside an arcade cabinet.

terminhell,

I guess what I meant a bit more specifically are things like buttons, the screen, cables, any daughter boards needed for like special lights, speakers etc. stuff beyond, as you mentioned.

Netflix has some good games I don’t expect. I love playing their Pinball and Slay the Spire.

comicallycluttered,

Also on Netflix:

Play Wonderputt Forever if you like physics-based and/or golf games. I found it pretty fun and fairly challenging in the later levels.

Desta is also a really interesting narrative turn-based tactics game with some poignant emotional moments (it can actually be a bit heavy at times, especially if you’ve dealt with LGBTQ+ prejudice personally).

And I’m also really glad Netflix resurrected Cut The Rope from its grave. New puzzle daily and several months worth (i.e. hundreds) of puzzles to play if you’d like to catch up.

Just started the 3rd public release of Pokemon Vanguard. The almost all the regionals in the game look absolutely fantastic. Doesn’t follow the standard 8 gyms, fight evil team, defeat them, elite 4 pattern from most official and fan games I’ve played. In this one you end up going to some trainer school (vanguard academy), becoming a legal pokemon trainer in the region, and do assignments. So far I’ve only done one and it’s a pretty fun game.

It has 3 difficulty options, options for turning every battle to be a double battle (I assume this doesn’t work on wild pokemon but I have no clue), doing a monorun of every type that won’t let you catch anything other than the type you’re using, and a streamer mode that replaces music that could get you copyrighted. All before you begin the game. Also, I think you can find just about every starter from any of the games, with most of them being regionals with new types, like poison fire chimchar. Even has gen 9 pokemon, which I’m glad is becoming more common.

AnEilifintChorcra,

Oh nice, I haven’t heard of Vanguard! I love how creative some fan games are, especially compared to the main games that have gotten a bit stale. I’m definitely adding it to my list now, thanks!

Knights of the Old Republic 2 :3 I’m doing a blaster Jedi run. It’s pretty neat, actually :3 I think I’ll play the first game next. Kinda want to get back into City of Heroes if this laptop runs it well and maybe only if I can acquire at least one adventure-buddy-critter to play it with 🤔 🤷

I did that with the first KoTOR a year ago! It was more difficult than using a saber for sure, you really get the impression they didn't really think anyone would want to main blasters. How is it in the second one?

RiikkaTheIcePrincess,
@RiikkaTheIcePrincess@pawb.social avatar

There are mods for the first to make it more blaster-friendly! The impression I get is that blasters are much more effective in t he second game and are, it’s claimed (steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=16…), viable even for Hard playthroughs.

I’m playing on Normal; it’s mostly reasonably easy. Paying a bit more attention to keeping my defences in order would probably serve me well but I’ve not hit any walls or anything like that.

Amazing that this scam hasn’t been banned yet by Google.

Back in my day, you’d just mod in whatever model you wanted. I remember running around in Unreal Tournament in a Bender skin, voice pack and all.

ViscloReader,

Haha I used to play metal Mario on UT2004

Put a shocking amount of time into Unicorn Overlord last week.

I think they executed the cross between Fire Emblem and Ogre Battle very well. Squad composition makes up for the lack of individual customization that is typical of the FE lineage of strategy RPGs (as opposed to the FFT/Tactics Ogre line). The overworld management is a fun exploration side activity that isn’t as time-consuming as Three Houses’s social stuff. Basiscape brought its usual excellent soundtrack, and Vanillaware their usual impressively detailed art. Plot is whatever, I don’t play these games for the plot, I play them to make anime sprites stab each other so numbers go up. So, yeah, it’s fun.

(No, I don’t actually like Disgaea that much, mostly because “figuring out how to break the game is the game” doesn’t appeal to me.)

Finished up Wind Waker HD last week so I am in between games. Might get back to Skyward Sword.

spriteblood,

Cemu or original hardware? I love playing the original on the Wii U but it's cool upscaling to 1440p

SeaJ,

Cemu. As much as I would love having a Wii U, I kind of prefer all my gaming on one machine as much as possible.

I finished Arthur's act for We Happy Few, and now I kind of remember why I stopped playing the first time. Just finishing the first act feels like a complete game in itself, and it definitely takes up enough time to be a complete game, especially with how large the map is and with as many side quests as there are. It feels rather daunting to start all over again from scratch as Sally. I thought about playing another game before starting Sally's story, but I'm afraid that I'll do the same thing I did last time and end up not finishing it again.

Elden Ring for sure. Lots of tools to help with difficulty, and you can leave and go somewhere else.

Not sure if it fits the bill, but it is categorized as a soulslike: Death Door. It’s an indie game, chill and cute atmosphere, still challenging but not too punishing. I haven’t played much soulslike before but I started this one on Steam Deck and I’m really digging it!

SoleInvictus,

Oooh, that looks awesome! I’m not op but was browsing for ideas. Thanks for the recommendation.

Zahille7, do gaming w Best Soulslike game for beginners?

No one here has mentioned Hellpoint. If you like sci-fi and/or horror elements, this may be one you want to check out. It has a big map, plenty of secrets and shortcuts, creepy lore, cool weapons and armor sets

Or even either of The Surge games. You can target individual limbs and depending on how you kill the enemy you’ll gain more experience or more resources to upgrade your gear.
