Unsurprising, it’s not for anyone but those who spend a lot to be able to frag the other one.

I stopped playing MMOs and online shooters a long time ago. Instead dividing my time between actual cycling and playing single player adventure games.

Tigeroovy, do games w Why would I buy this?

Some dudes seem to be required to buy every COD game and every new sports game every year and that’s it until they eventually try to sell it all as a bundle on Facebook Marketplace.

I know this is a steam page, but y’know.

TigerAce,

I’m a person sensitive to that stuff too. I love to have collections complete. I used to buy every special edition of assassin’s creed but I should have stopped after black flag. I used to buy games fully, with all DLC’s because I needed it to be complete. Even the expensive useless skins, for single-player games. It’s so stupid. And most oft he times I wouldn’t even finish the game and wouldn’t even start on the extra purchased content. Same with boardgames on kickstarter. I have several games with all expansions and extras still in plastic, for several years.

But I’m done with this shit. I stopped buying boardgames because I have more than enough and I pirate videogames and purchase them only if I spent enough time enjoying the game.

But recently I purchased the latest Hitman game because I enjoyed the pirated version. When bought, it was only half a game because the pirated version had all the DLC’s. So I refunded it, I’m not going to spend money for only half a game, then to have to spend more to get the complete game.

Indie games I buy, AAA games I pirate and most of them I won’t even play longer than 3-5 hours because they are shit. Happy they didn’t get my money, I feel scammed by the industry for way too long.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Can you put a few more red circles on the photo to help? Maybe a couple arrows too.

  • TigerAce,

    The graphics. You need the newer game to be able to play with the rest because they have the newer version, and you want the newer version for the better graphics, but to be able to run it properly you need to buy the high end GPU’s. If yo don’t, you’re a loser, a sad poor person, because everyone else has it and you don’t. So you throw away more money to something completely shit. And children are very easy to catch in this scam.

    @gyrfalcon@beehaw.org avatar

    I have not used T-Mobile specifically but I did try out a 5g home internet product and one thing to look out for is that trees can interfere with your signal, so make sure there’s not trees between where you’ll put your access point and the towers. If you’re in the northern hemisphere and the leaves have fallen also keep in mind that the signal could be affected more when the leaves come back.

    otacon239, do gaming w How's gaming and streaming on T-Mobile home internet?

    Gaming and streaming each have different requirements. Gaming needs low latency, but doesn’t require a lot of bandwidth. Streaming requires high bandwidth, but is okay with a decent amount of latency.

    Bandwidth is the amount of traffic you’re sending through your pipe. It’s a lot easier for your provider to keep this steady and they can guarantee a certain level of service here. Make sure you look into how much bandwidth you’ll be getting and how much bandwidth your streaming setup requires, then give yourself at least a 25% headroom.

    Latency is how quickly that traffic makes it from your computer to the internet. This will have a far bigger impact on your actual performance in-game. If you’re in the competitive scene, the other players will likely all have cable/fiber connections and they will have a real advantage on you as they can see you faster and react more quickly. This isn’t as much of a problem if you’re a casual player online or with friends.

    Your quality of cell service will have a major impact on latency and it will also probably be inconsistent throughout the day as there’s more and less cell network load. This means that you could find yourself where certain games only run well during certain parts of the day.

    All this to say, usually cell providers have a return policy before you’re locked into the plan. Try it out with some stress tests and see how it plays out. Keep in mind you’ll likely need enough bandwidth to both stream out of the network and enough to watch the stream to monitor it as well.

    Neat! Can it run WiiU games as well?

    DaMummy,

    Yes, but the WiiU emu on android isn’t that great, and you’d be better off using a switch emu, as the best wiiu games were ported to switch anyway.

    PerfectDark,
    @PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

    Exactly this!

    CEMU on Android is still very new to the scene, so some things work and some don’t. I’d consider it just an added bonus (like Wind Waker!) when things work!

    Rooty,

    Wait, it runs Android? One one hand ewww, on the other ooo F-droid store!

    I just gave this a go not expecting much. Man is it fun! And works great on the deck too! Playing with a controller makes it extra hard, but then again the originals were hard too and had even worse controls, so it fits well.

    jorm1s,

    Oh wow. I thought this was just a fun little tribute to wolf3d. After two days and six hours of playing I now understand how wrong I was. After a few levels it turns out to be so much more, and just keeps getting better.

    They made a new game, Aethermancer which is pretty good so far!

    @MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

    Oh wow. It’s really pretty looking and the concept sounds interesting. It’s interesting to see the leap in game quality. I guess having that first game under their belt was good practice

    chunes,

    The game seems pretty good so far, but the exploration aspect seems a bit lacking. I hope they can make it more engaging somehow.

    I’ve never played It Takes Two but SSX is a fun snowboarding game, the whole Skate franchise is super fun just to mess about with- the movement mechanics are really smooth, and whilst I didn’t personally get on with it but Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (which is a bit like Jet Set Radio,) it also seems to have a similar vibe - in terms of movement at least.

    Edit: just watched a video of the part of It Takes Two you were describing and it definitely gives me SSX vibes

    Discounty has been fun, a supermarket simulator. It’s more story driven than Stardew and less open ended but similar vibes.

    Eastward has been on my wishlist for ever. Not really a building sim, and not sure about controller support. But the pixel art might draw you in like Stardew did

    hal_5700X, do games w Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 | Review Thread

    Just play the first game with the Unofficial Patch. You will have a better time.

    Bloodlines 2 had been in development hell for years and had two dev teams worked on it. Being bland is a miracle.
