catloaf, do games w Where to find help for a game name

Is it battletoads?

HiroProtagonist,

No but thanks

Mugmoor, do games w Favourite 90s platformer?
@Mugmoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Donkey Kong Country 2 will always be the pinnacle of 2D Platforming, though Yoshi’s Island comes in a close second place.

Coyote_sly,

Agreed. Peak platforming.

finitebanjo, do games w Posting a Screenshot without context one time and never again

yikes tough crowd

Nurse_Robot,

They came around

Banrik,

I thought it was a good lighthearted community in-joke, better night posts at all

KryptOrchid, do games w Steam Deck / Gaming News #6

First time reading your ‘rant’ - love it! Keep it up!

Oh thank you!

If you filter by my username here, you can sift through my nonsense. As I’m guessing the title has given away, this is the sixth of these I have written up!

They’re meant to be weekly, but I don’t think I’ve been able to wait a full week between writing these yet!

You’re very kind:)

supersquirrel, (edited ) do gaming w I'm doing my part (unfortunately)

I really only buy video games from indie devs.

If I never play a game by an indie dev that I bought, oh noooo what a catastrophe I gave an indie artist money without confirming they deserved it!

This meme should only make you feel slimey if you are dropping lots of money on AAA games where the artists who made the game don’t get even remotely a fair share of profits.

Otherwise, giving independent artists to make more art benefits everyone even if you don’t “use” / “need” the art.

Ulrich, do gaming w System76 or Framework for Linux gaming

Framework is upgradeable. The S76 isn’t.

ScoobyDope, do games w Gaming has a polarization problem

It’s just the natural result of the sensationalizing of the news. Far more likely to get clicks or views saying something is fantastic or horrible. The grey areas don’t make $$$.

SuperApples, do gaming w Wish I could retire now actually
@SuperApples@lemmy.world avatar

Day 3170 here… that’s still what I’m doing… But in Athens, and mouse+keyboard.

Cruxifux, do gaming w Wish I could retire now actually
@Cruxifux@feddit.nl avatar

Walking dog, feeding homeless, getting drunk, magic the gathering and dnd with my other retired friends. That’s what I would do if I ever retired, which I probably won’t because of everything.

villainy, do games w Favourite Metroid game?

If we’re allowing Trilogy as one game then I’m going to step out a bit and go with AM2R. It’s extremely good and not “for a fan remake”, just straight up good.

If we’re talking single games made/published by Nintendo I’d go with Dread for 2D. I played through that 3-4 times back to back when it came out which was a totally new behavior for me. For 3D it’s Prime 1, still the best 3D example of the genre.

altima_neo, do gaming w Suikoden US vs JPN Box Art
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

It’s such a shame that Western publishers were so ashamed of games Japanese origins. For me, being a teenager at the time, I wanted anything and everything Japanese I could get my hands on. I felt like this was the case for a lot of people at the time. It’s why anime and manga were exploding in popularity.

Elevator7009sAlt, do games w What is your favorite mod?

I’d have to say thanks to SMAPI and Content Patcher for enabling so many Stardew Valley mods in the first place.

Also, Qwinn’s Ultimate DAO Fixpack for allowing me to have a mostly bug-free experience playing Dragon Age: Origins. Mostly.

AstralPath, do gaming w What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS (refresh rate). ?

In this day and age, anything below 60FPS 1080p is unacceptable. If a new game can’t hit that target on 3 year old hardware, the game is unfinished.

penquin,

I’m asking YOU and what YOU think is playable and you’d enjoy it , not games.

AstralPath,

I think 60FPS is totally fine. 30 is only OK on slower moving games or era-appropriate consoles; Halo on the OG Xbox for example.

Mothra,

I know OP has a point that they weren’t asking your opinion on games, but I really like your stance of demanding performance from the game devs especially on older hardware. There is a culture of "must have newest hardware to run everything maxed " that’s just dumb consumerism.

Kazumara, do gaming w Don't forget to make a 2nd save file just in case.

They could improve this so much by saying something like “the last 2 minutes and 24 seconds of unsaved progress will be lost” instead. Just need to keep a time counter from last save, that’s not too much overhead.

wccrawford,

There are even games that already do this. I still end up second-guessing, but at least “you last saved 8 seconds ago” makes me pretty sure I got it.

mox, do games w EA releases another shameless IP flip with Sims 1/2 Legacy

@DuckWrangler9000@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, I’ve used both on Windows 11. Unfortunately, does nothing for the User Interface size. But that’s exactly what I had to do to get the original games to run before this shameless flip.

I wonder if the Clean UI mod would help with your issue. Have you tried just adjusting your resolution though? I’ve heard 720p is the optimal resolution to avoid various bugs
