Shower With Your Dad Simulator

TastyWheat,

Came here to post this! Every new Steam account gets a copy, it’s the law.

CottyCat,

It was the first game I was gifted! My second recommendation is “I Love You Colonel Sanders!: A Finger Lickin’ Good Dating Simulator”. Who needs more satisfaction than that?

TastyWheat,

Oh that game is CRAZY. Free too!

daggermoon,

That sounds disturbing

It’s not as elegant, but you might be able to give them some Steam Gift Cards and recommend some games.

EvilBit, do games w We all need Seaman back in our lives!

To this day, if I turn to my best friend and say “sup”, his response will either be “Oh, not much, just… keeping it real.” or just “Word.” Vice versa as well.

These are the exact responses Seaman gives, which we deliver with proper intonation and all.

sandalbucket, do games w Developer of WalkScape (the fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL) here again. We're accepting new players and have a Lemmy community!

I’m intrigued, but have two questions:

  1. Does running count?
  2. Can I pull in data from a fitness app / smart watch (Garmin)?
schamppu,

Running counts! Also treadmills or walking pads, as long as you have your phone in your pocket.

Smart watches are not supported yet, but coming. Smart watch support would already work great on iOS, but we’re held up by Google with it as they introduced Health Connect for smart watch integrations and it’s a buggy mess at the moment. Google Fit APIs (that would’ve worked nicely) are deprecated.

MrScottyTay, (edited ) do games w Have JRPG battles become a sub-system?

OG FFVII is full of minigames. I don’t think rebirth has more than the OG, also it’s like half of the game not a third (the last disc is just the final dungeon, and the second disc is not as long as the first).

When the OG does a minigame it’s often a one and done thing. Rebirth madness it feel like more because you can go back and do more of each minigame with increasing difficulties etc.

I think subsystems just lend very well to JRPGs because they’re often trying to create a world, and adding such to their games makes their worlds feel more full. I also think the Japanese do their game development different to the west most of the time. Since a lot of these minigames are made because developers have finished the parts of the main game they were working on so they mess around trying to make something new and fun that might be able to be tacked on as an extra.

TheV2, do games w What did everyone grab during the Steam Winter Sale?

Nothing. It was a difficult choice, but it was a necessary sacrifice in favor of the games, collecting dust in my library :*-)

DarkFuture, do games w What games have you sunk the most time into?
@DarkFuture@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve been playing a Half-Life mod called Sven Coop since 1999. I play almost daily, if only for a half an hour when I get home to unwind. Multiple server owners have given me admin rights to help manage their servers so sometimes I’m just there to kick griefers or change levels that are broken so people don’t leave. There are many thousands of user made levels. People are still making them. The mod is still getting updated. Just did actually.

It wasn’t added to Steam until 2016. So there was no way for me to track play hours until then. Since 2016 it shows that I have a little over 3000 hours. And I used to play more before I became an adult and had to do adult things. So I can only imagine what my total hours are.

10,000 hours? And that’s probably conservative.

I will have been playing regularly for 26 years this January.

Ciri is such a great character in the books. I hope they can get a lot of that personality into her in the game, too.

It seems like it from the trailer, but I’m nervous about the voice actress, she does sound different than 3… But I’m willing to give her a fair chance

Bahnd,

From the trailer, its clear that its ~15-20 year time skip, she is able to drink witcher potions so she passed the trial of grasses, and clearly has much more control of her powers.

The trial of grasses point is where im concerned, yes she would have plot armor for a procedure that has a notriously low survival rate, plus the school of the wolf (Geralt, Vesimier and co.) destroied their old records after the events of the first game so that noone could produce more witchers.

MarcomachtKuchen, do games w Do you have any recommendations for casual games?

How has noone mentioned Powerwash Simulator yet. There is no pressure (pun not intended), you just walk around dirty scenes and start cleaning them. The amount of satisfaction this produces is incredible. This is mostly because the dirt is actually fairly accurate and washing does not feel like brushing dirt of where the only options is 100% dirt or 0% dirt. All of the intermediates and the complex geometry of the objects makes cleaning a really chilling experience.

I will also add both of the House Flipper games!

JudahBenHur,

im not trying to be provocative

but have you ever considered actually cleaning things

you can get paid to do this

irl power washwers are fun

MarcomachtKuchen,

Yeah I can see that, but currently that’s not a viable line in my career to take

JudahBenHur,

ah well then laddie you just tell me when youre ready to man the old washer

theres always work down the shipyard for ye

jerakor,

Same could be said for any game. The value mostly of a game is the controlled progression with little impact. If I go start power washing the driveway and then stop at a moments notice to go take a shower and head to work I’m gonna leave a giant mess laying around and a half done driveway.

superkret,

Same could be said for any game.

No. No, it really couldn’t.

jerakor,

Instead of playing games, go outside, touch grass, undergo the series of organ implantations that are required to become a Space Marine. The only thing holding you back is yourself.

JudahBenHur,

so, uh… it really couldnt be said of any game at all… the idea that the game makes it better than real power washing because you can stop at any time with out leaving a half finished driveway is cracking me up dude i love it

GammaGames, do gaming w Itch.io was taken down by funko pop

Grass, do games w Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - Review Thread

So its actually good? Honestly surprised. The devs haven’t been canned either?

9cpluss,

Same here. I thought it was going to be mediocre at best. Still not interested but happy for the people who like such games.

zecg,
@zecg@lemmy.world avatar

I thought it was going to be mediocre at best.

I fully expect it to be a mediocre shooter with some good environmental puzzles and nice graphics, Starfield had 85+/100 reviews before coming out. We’ll find out once it actually releases, in two years with all of the hypothetical DLC included for 15€. Bethesda can fuck right off with their 50€ offerings.

Spuddlesv2,

The devs haven’t been canned YET.

Grass,

I’ve had this thought that game devs should plant killswitches in their games so if they get mass lay offs the game just stops working and displays messages presented as being from the parent company that tell the user they are banned, and for the most idiotic reasons.

Realistically though if the game is successful by any metric a hacker or dataminer will find it first or it will be abused in some other way.

I’m surprised that folks here were surprised that the people behind those Wolfenstein games would make a good game.

inclementimmigrant,

Because we’ve seen time and time again where good devs go bad. Especially when they get bought out.

@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

It was worse before the buyout, when Zenimax had an initiative to make everyone make live service games even when it was clearly a bad idea.

One of my all-time favorites. If you don’t like horror games, don’t let that stop you. It’s too important a story to pass up, and worse-case, you can turn off some of the scary elements of the game. It’s really a sci-fi masterpiece first, and a horror game second.
