I go hollow, probably

Really hope I can get an entry position at Ryujin Industries (they always seem to be recruiting) so I can afford to not live in the slums and work on getting the skills needed to survive long-term.

Does tabletop count? I become an incredibly powerful Planeswalker and visit zendikar, ravnica, and Kamigawa.

Otherwise, I’ll probably just settle into the grind on a freighter and drift into the starfield.

VRChat. What does that mean? Do I literally get teleported into vrchat as I am irl? Do I have a little menu that’ll pop up on my wrist to change avatars/bodies? Can I go to new worlds or am I stuck in the last world I was in? Am I by myself in some kinda limbo-vrchat where it’s not actually a game but some kind of other universe that just appears to be vrchat, or can I actually meet up with other people? Can I get hurt or do the same rules of physics, health, food, etc apply? Is vrchat even a game?

If vrchat isn’t considered a game, then Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. It’ll be cool to be in the future I guess? The game itself is fun, but if I show up as the person I am irl, then it’ll be kinda boring. I guess I could always learn how to do sweet tricks and grinds though.

RDR 2. Bought it back in 2019 but my PC couldn’t really handle it too well (less than 45 FPS on medium), so I shelved it.

But now I have a 4090 and I’m enjoying the hell out of the game. It was slow at first but by the second chapter I was hooked. Looks damn good for a 4-year-old game, too; dare I say as good as a modern ray traced title. (I mean it’s close)

liminis,

DLSS implementation wasn’t great, but it did sharpen things up a bit over the muddiness that came with TAA.

I’d be kicking some mf’ing shell, that’s for sure!

PrivateNoob, do gaming w Do you prefer playing with Keyboard or controller more, and for what type of games?

KBM EVERYWHERE. Unfortunately I’m starting to feel the dreaded wrist pain because of that, so I may need to diversify myself with a controller.

Steam deck user here. I’ve done with it what I couldn’t achieve with even the Steam controller: preference for trackpads + gyro for pretty much everything (FPS included) except for hotkey heavy action RPG’s (Dragon Age, Witcher 2, etc).

I don’t play RTS anymore. I had a falling out with them around Supreme Commander days.

tal,

I want Total Annihilation 2. I enjoyed Total Annihilation, but Supreme Commander never really clicked. Just didn’t feel like a sequel.

I’m with you.

I haven’t played it but there is Beyond All Reason, which even riffs on Arm and Core.

tal,

looks

Ah, that looks neat, thanks, may have to give it a go. Yeah, it looks like it uses the Spring Engine, which was originally intended to be an open-source engine to run TA. I’ve played Zero-K, which is another game running on the Spring Engine that also aims for an TA feel. Wasn’t really aimed for a sequel so much as bringing back TA, though.

aeki,

I honestly wish we had a steam controller that was more like the deck. I could never really get used to the Steam controller while I love using the deck. Can’t really put my finger on what it is about it though.

@uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca avatar

As do I. I’d chalk it up to the asymmetry of the Steam controller. Lack of a D-pad, lack of a right analogue stick. The Steam Deck back buttons are also far better, and 4 is twice as good as 2.

This is actually a good question. I hope you get some replies from serious gamers.

I am not a serious gamer, but I’ve always preferred keyboards for FPS and RTS games. Years ago when I tried an FPS game for the first time on a console using a controller it was a disaster and took weeks to get used to.

tal,

That being said, normally console FPSes are designed to be much more-forgiving as to response time to account for the controller, and there’s typically some level of auto-aim. If you’re playing against other players, they’re going to be using analog sticks too.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m with you on this, would rather have the mouse, just that I dunno if I’d call it a disaster. It’d be a disaster if people using mice/keyboards were competitively playing against people with analog sticks in an FPS.

This is one of those rare cases where Nintendo could fix your console for free or give you a replacement. You should contact customer service, they’re usually very friendly and helpful. Good luck 🙂

N00b22,

Yeah tomorrow I’m sending it to a authorized store

I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate 3 as much as I possibly can. I’m having a ton of fun with it! I’ve never played D&D, or any of the Baldur’s Gate games, so I don’t know what I’m doing most of the time, but I’m slowly getting the hang of it!

When in doubt, check the tooltips to see what a thing means and what it does. Even the tooltips have tooltips sometimes. I do really wish they broke down the to-hit percentages underneath the cursor in combat, because that would go a long way toward helping the player understand the underlying math.

@dmegatool@lemmy.ca avatar

That’s the combat log for you. Listing all the math going on would be a bit much.

Personnaly I just went along without checking too much of how things are calculated. When I saw 30% hit chance, I just knew I had to do somehting else. When I got a good grasp of the system, I dug deeper on how things are calculated.

There’s a lot to understand for new players so I think they made the right call.

Thinking about it, maybe just listing the AC or the attribute that would make the Save without the need to Examine each enemy would be nice.

ampersandrew,
@ampersandrew@kbin.social avatar

I definitely went several hours being okay with only the to hit chance, but once you start leveling up and fighting harder enemies, you're looking for ways to optimize, so I wish it was an option to see what the math is that determines that chance ahead of time.

I don’t know how to ride a horse so I’d probably get mauled by a bear or murdered by outlaws trying to get somewhere civilized.
