have been meaning to get into baldurs gate! I’ve got 4 other friends that I played DnD with a while back and it was hilarious. from what I’ve seen of it BG3 would be amazing to play as a group

dbtonez,

i’d highly recommend it. it’s still a lot of fun solo, but playing it with my friend has been a treat. sometimes we make a decision for the laughs, other times we get into semi-serious debates about what to do, where to go… and it’s fun seeing how different our co-op playthrough is from our solo playthroughs.

no man’s sky VR lately! I love the feeling of flying in starships and the seamless transitions between planets and space! wish it had some form of starship racing.

GT7 mainly running Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. There is a race there this weekend and it makes me feel slightly better when I see pro drivers mess up the same corner I do.

Stillhart,

Forza Motorsport comes out… today? Looking forward to that myself!

argo_yamato,

I might check that one out, haven’t played a Forza game in years. The screenshots I saw had an IMSA GTP car so that might be enough for me to buy it this time around (on PC).

tigeruppercut, do gaming w What unusual genre mixing video games would you recommend to try?

There’s a 2011 game called Before the Echo (previously called Sequence before the board game maker decided to get pissy about it) that’s a basic rhythm game but you play on a screen with three boards where rhythm arrows drop, and you have to manage swapping between all of them. One board you clear arrows to prevent enemy damage, one generates mana for you, and the third is where you cast spells (that do damage, heal you, etc). There are a few different items you can get and there’s some light crafting/leveling systems as well.

As someone who doesn’t usually play rhythm games (largely because I’m bad at them) it was pretty fun. The story is amusing as well, and the main critique I had was that it’s very slightly on the grindy side and there aren’t enough songs to support it, so you start hearing the same ones over and over. The music is decent but it can get a bit old.

ICEY might be a good one to check out. It mixes cynical untrostworthy narration (like from the Stanley parable) with a 2D side scrolling hack and slash. some people say it doesn’t quite measure up on both fronts, but I enjoyed it. it has a nice art style too

Doublepluskirk, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of October 8th

Baldur’s Gate (in act 3 now), Lies of P, and just dipped my toe into Warhammer 40k Darktide. It’s quite nice having very different games to bounce between.

I’ve got Cocoon waiting a well. I heard it’s quite short so maybe I’ll boot it up on an evening where Lies of P is kicking my arse too much lol

frog, do gaming w The gaming industry needs to become more like holywood

Absolutely agreed. I think because the gaming industry is relatively new, it lags behind other sectors on unionisation, and that is definitely something that should change. Not necessarily to emulate Hollywood, but unionisation definitely.

There needs to be a tech-workers’ union. (Not just for gaming.)

frog,

Yeah, that would be ideal. Although whether game artists would be best fitted to a tech workers union or an artists union (which does exist in some places) is a question that would need to be answered.

Loading Ready Run streams a lot of stuff. And you might like the dessert bus for hope fundraiser happening in November.

Rekhyt,

Specifically I would say the following streams fit the bill:

  • Let’s Nope (horror)
  • Let’s Watch (Steam garbage)
  • Rhythm Cafe (rhythm games)
  • Talking Simulator (hard to describe)

    I mean… if they’re asking for advice about a gaming rig, the gaming community seems like a pretty relevant place to ask.

    We have shoddy repair places here in the US too, but that’s no reason to make people to hunt for some region-specific community for their hardware questions.

    cujo,
    @cujo@sh.itjust.works avatar

    The down votes are because you suggested that Gaming is not the correct community to ask about Gaming hardware, and it’s hardly a barrage. There’s nothing wrong with the advice you’re giving, especially since you seem to have regionally appropriate knowledge that many others don’t have. This is still the appropriate place to ask their question. Likely it’s because, whether you intended for it to be so or not, your opening statement comes across… abrasive.

    Much better! Less aggressive. Your initial comment had a sense of reprimanding the OP for not posting in the “right place,” and I’m certain you didn’t mean to come off that way, just that you thought they might get a better, more specific answer from a more specific community, is that right?

    I appreciate the civility and willingness to discuss. :)

    Haui, do gaming w Current PC is too bad for Cities Skylines 2. Can anyone judge the PCPartPicker list I've put together?
    @Haui@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

    Heyo! Your question led me to check some stuff since my wife wants to upgrade at some point as well.

    Since we are slowly moving away from the intel/nvidia/windows ecosphere towards amd/linux/open source, we figured she should go with am5 when she changes her motherboard.

    The b650-s and ryzen 5 7600 combined with gskill ripjaws s5 32gig. All together was roughly 500 bucks. The cooler needs to go on top obviously. We already have a gpu but if we needed one I‘d probably go with the amd 7600 since it is fairly new and pretty cheap.

    Just so you know, I have put in quite some reaearch on gpus recently but nothing else so I‘m fairly positive about the gpu, a little less certain on the rest. The 7600 is not far from the 6700 xt imo and better in terms of fps per dollar/euro.

    The nvidia 3060ti is pretty much the same but I think amd is the better decision going forward since nvidia is being a dick about their drivers forever and amd is more futureproof if you leave windows.

    Good luck with your build.

    Asemundus, do games w Browser games you have burned a lot of time on?

    Slither.io is definitely my most played browsergame. It gets way more fun with a mod that lets you zoom out a little, as the bigger you get the worse the experience normally gets…

    fbmac, do gaming w What's the most surprising facts about a game you've gleaned by reading a game's achievement/trophy acquisition percentage?
    @fbmac@lemmy.fbmac.net avatar

    there must be a small number of players that torrented it then bought it after they played and things like that

    curiosityLynx,

    I’ve got an unhealthy amount of hours and money (games, DLC) invested in various Paradox games because I once pirated EU3 on a whim.

    My Steam Library now contains CK2 with most gameplay DLC, CK3 with most gameplay DLC, EU4 with all gameplay and content DLC, Stellaris with most gameplay/content DLC, HoI4 with most gameplay DLC, Sengoku, and other Paradox games that aren’t grand strategy like Magicka 1&2.

    And both my hours in CK2 and EU4 are in the 4 digit realm, though admittedly that includes times where I played in bed, fell asleep and the respective game kept running.

    Frostpunk. Get it and take a break on life. Factorio the game is a permanent one.

    CrabAndBroom,

    Frostpunk is my “try really hard to not implement fascism and inevitably implement fascism anyway” simulator.
