I pirate Switch games that I already own on Steam because double dipping is stupid.

7gb inflated to nearly 40gb. That’s absolutely absurd holy crap

TacoEvent, do gaming w What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

MUDs. Text based (generally RPG) games with incredibly immersive story telling, near infinite levels of character customization, and many even feature ways for players to build on the world itself.

I’m surprised it’s not more popular amongst D&D enthusiasts.

In its hey day, people spent thousands of dollars just to boost their characters on massive for-profit MUDs like those created by Iron Realms. But smaller MUDs like Ancient Anguish were just as quality.

Sadly they’re going extinct. Only a few MUDs are still actively maintained.

Skedaddle,

I started reading Mort (Terry Pratchett) and it reminded me of the Discworld MUD I played with my friends in the 90s, on dial-up, all crowded around a single 13" CRT. I looked it up, and it’s still running!

TacoEvent,

That’s awesome! I’ve noticed it on lists of top voted MUDs for a long time, but never quite got into that particularly flavor.

Stache_,

Huh, that must be where the original name for Runescape (DeviousMUD) came from. Didn’t know it was a whole genre of games

Stache_,

Granted it’s not text based, so I could definitely be wrong.

TacoEvent,

Whoa that’s a nice piece of trivia. Did some googling and it definitely has roots in MUDs, but Andrew obviously had higher ambitions visually. That’s cool.

@Ecksell@lemmy.one avatar

Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch. Instant pause/resume is invaluable.

minutnudler,

My son is 11 months, and if I didn’t have my steam deck I would probably not be gaming at all right now :) That instant off/resume is absolutely amazing.

I picked up a Switch thinking it would always be attracted to my TV. Maybe it was for a bit, but when my child came along the only way I used it was handheld and for spurts at a time.

That’s how I knew the Steam Deck was an instant buy for me - the pause/resume is key.

scribblemacher,

This 100%. The only games I’ve managed to finish in the past ten years are on Switch or a portable system.

steltek,

It’s mindblowing how smooth (and fast!) suspend/resume is on the Steam Deck.

    That’s… incredible actually. Every new bit I learn about Dwarf Fortress is genuinely fantastic.

    Otome-chan, do gaming w Stray really disappointed me. I want a real cat game.

    You should try playing Cattails which is basically exactly that. You play as a stray cat living a regular cat life. You can hunt, socialize with other cats (some are nice, some not), etc. No humans, just cats. The start of the game you get abandoned by humans I think?

    Blackthorn,

    I second this game. The cat can also find a mate abd have kittens

    Evergreen5970,

    You’re correct about the start of the game. They’re also planning a sequel!

    Sharmat, do gaming w are there small sized mmorpg's?

    Lord of the Rings Online is about 26Gb.

    Star Trek Online is also roughly at the same ballpark as LOTRO.

    Guild Wars 1 is about 5Gb.

    Secret World Legends also this one, about 10Gb.

    They are all decent, and fun to play if they’re your jam, some are more pay-to-win than others, like Star Trek Online. Some are a bit on the older side, like Guild Wars 1 being from 2005 though.

    Grimpen,

    Used to play Guild War 1, got back into it for a while around 10 years ago. I should still have my original login somewhere…

    Thunderbird4, do gaming w POV: your modding habit has become a problem

    What kind of noob doesn’t even have the Thomas the Tank Engine/Pregnant Sonic/nude Sims mod installed from the start? Like what are you even doing?

    krooklochurm,

    Wait wait wait.

    Pregnant sonic?

    What does the pregnant sonic mod do? What game is for? This sounds fucking idiotic. I need to know more

    Thunderbird4,

    To be perfectly honest, I don’t know of a specific pregnant Sonic mod and I’d rather not search for one. Pregnant Sonic just a common kink (I’ll let you google that for yourself) in the wide, wide world of Sonic fanfic that often finds itself lambasted alongside the more tongue-in-cheek degenerate humor like Shrek and Thomas the Tank Engine mods.

    Reminds me of the effing child grave in Hallowknight. I could do it 1000 times unless I was carrying the stupid flower :(. I did eventually but meh.

    CyanideShotInjection,

    The trick was to start at the grave, kill everything on your path, without saving on a bench (as it respawns enemies), and then do the exact reverse route. It is the easier way to do it as you only have to care about the platforming and not needing to dodge foes on top of that.

    pressedhams,

    It wasn’t the run. It was that stupid jump through the spikey bits 😕

    FoxFairline, do games w Thank Goodness You're Here - most absurd & hilarious game what did I just play?

    One of the voiceactors has a crazy comedy podcast thats been running for ages called Regular Features.

    Can recommend if you like the humor, since one of the devs is a fan of that show and got inspiration from it.

    calamitycastle,

    Said voice actor also runs a pub in Nottingham, the King Billy! And now I must depart BUZzzzzzz

    macncheese,

    I listened to an episode last night and it tickles the same absurd funny bone, loved it! I feel like there’s a touch of the absurd or whimsy in the British humor that I respond to, even though not being British I often don’t understand some references. Case in point, I love the podcast Three Bean Salad.

    Cocodapuf, do games w Any good games I missed in the last 21 months?

    If you like building things, I’ve been playing the hell out of “Mars First Logistics”.

    Basically, you build custom mars rovers to move increasingly ridiculous shipments across the red planet. And the whole game has the visual style of a Lego instruction manual.https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/fcc324b5-5c21-453b-83bd-9451420c4b29.jpeg
