farcaster, (edited ) do games w I know this is going to sound like copium, but I love having to fiddle with settings to get original Oblivion running on my 2019 X1 Carbon.

Running on underpowered hardware somehow reminds me of the good (or bad) old days of PC gaming where individual settings could make a huge difference.

Shadows off: Smooth

Shadows on: Unplayable

biofaust,

Now it is almost always unplayable, but the settings on don’t really make a difference

awesomesauce309, do games w Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character?

It’s the exact opposite of trapped but what about something like this old comic

https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/e94f73d8-339f-4806-b2f3-95c7997762fa.png

Where the princess is in cahoots with the dragon. Maybe there are evil knights coming to marry her, and she needs to create a path for Prince Charming.

Rai,

I choose to marry the dragon

DoGeeseSeeGod,

It chooses murder

Surely he wins with the countless Skyrim releases.

Oisann,

haha yeah rimworld and prison architect are like twins in a hat though gotta say i tried out my prison and brother was it hard as life to get out as its super secured despite the weird layouts and all https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a790281c-6843-4499-86c1-78e7c5ff04bb.png

Gaming? Pretty sure that’s FL Studio, and all those stimulants and depressants would make gaming performance terrible.

Inspiring amazing music, on the other hand…

OMG it’s wild that you would say that because I’m actually reading (listening to really) Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson as I’m making this! If you’ve never read it a pretty big plot point is a Brown Note image that looks like noise but that will scramble people’s brains if they have enough of an affinity for computer languages.

Godort,

There was a short story I read a while back that also featured that plot point, but I don’t remember what it was called.

Only that I found it after reading into inspirations for The Laundry Files by Charles Stross.

prole,

Awesome book, but man that’s a pretty major spoiler lol

Apytele,
@Apytele@sh.itjust.works avatar

I feel like it was in the first 3rd or so? To me that counts more as setup than anything else. The rest of it has been more of the implications, how it works, and what to do about it, which I would consider more to be spoilers.

prole,

Maybe… It’s been a long time since I read.

unknown1234_5, do games w What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?

if you haven't, please play just cause 3. it is genuinely one of the greatest games ever made and the entire premise is: ok here's your grappling hook, parachute, wingsuit, bombs, and guns, now go blow up every thing and/or person with red on it. there is a story (and it's decent) but who cares, you upgrade your shit by doing cool stunts and the main mode of progression is a how-much-shit-have-you-blown-up-in-this-area meter.

I can’t even play JC4 because JC3 was just so good. Why the hell did they change the formula in 4? The missions are boring as hell in 4. They kept the “fight these guys,” “open these doors,” “release these prisoner” missions, but I have yet to be tasked with destroying, well, anything. 😮‍💨

The only thing in 4 I liked more than 3 was that the rocket things you can stick on stuff can be used multiple times and don’t automatically explode, so you can use them to fly a car without fear of blowing up.

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

JC3 is fun to just spend hours dicking around in, or seriously investing it with the gameplay. It’s honestly amazing how good of a game they made around the concept of “blow up some shit, and then blow up some more shit”

lime,
@lime@feddit.nu avatar

the story is much better in jc2 but it’s so hard to go back to with how well executed the movement was in 3. it’s a shame they skimped on the writing.

like, the final boss in 2 is a fist fight on a flying cluster of ICBMs. the final boss in 3 is… a helicopter.

unknown1234_5,

yeah the story isn't amazing but everything else is the best ever made

PmMeFrogMemes,

It’s also a beautiful game. I would spend hours just zipping around and taking in the scenery. Thanks for the reminder that I need to replay JC3

unknown1234_5,

true, and it looks that good without trying to shove raytracing and stuff like that down your throat so it runs smoothly on real computers and not just Nvidia's latest cash grab.

I’d also say 2 is worth it. Not as good as 3 but still a load of fun… Ah man, I might have to reinstall, I almost forgot about it until you said this!

unknown1234_5,

2 is absolutely worth it, but man 3 is probably one of my favorite games ever.

ygurin, do gaming w Tetris

You can finish the game by hitting a memory overflow bug very far in the game under specific conditions. Just look up finishing Tetris…

null,

In the NES version, yeah

YiddishMcSquidish,

Yeah people act like the grand master edition doesn’t have a following or a credits bonus level.

slazer2au, do games w Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options!

Morrowind. One of the few games you can fail the main quest by going on a rampage or by selling the wrong item.

NelDel,

The spells in Morrowind are so creative & fun too! Levitate & recall were my favorites.

slazer2au,

Night eye is amazing. Don’t even know what time of day it is when that spell is active.

Adulated_Aspersion,

Come on, now…

  1. Grind to gather resources.
  2. Make a potion to fortify intelligence
  3. Make a potion to fortify alchemy
  4. Drink potions
  5. While potions are active, make another set of fortify intelligence and alchemy potions, which - as a result of your potion-enhanced intelligence and alchemy skill - now fortified even stronger and longer.
  6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 a few times to become the smartest god-like being around for an infinite amount of time.

Game-breaking, but I would absolutely do it in real life if I had the option. I want the brains!

arudesalad, do games w Which co-op first person shooters would you recommend?

I also reccomend deep rock galactic, the devs are very involved in the community. The community is (mostly) amazing. There isn’t much story and it is completely hidden in the in game encyclopedia and the wiki. No drm (apart from steam) and lots of content and depth that keeps you hooked once you make it to your first promotion.

eneff,

Already played 500h+ of DRG with close friends that don’t live close by.

Great game to have fun, talk, but also challenging if you want it to be.

Can’t recommend it enough!

Damn, they made Wolfenstein political 😡

daddy32,

Why do they have to make fun of republicans?

gerbler, do games w What are your favorite games for killing nazis?

I don’t know if anything really tops Wolfenstein TNO. Right from the get-go you’re running through a trench dual-wielding machine guns and just shredding Nazis like you’re mowing grass. Plus you can personally stomp Hitler’s face in! 10/10 experience.

@derfunkatron@lemmy.world avatar

The New Colossus was released during Trump’s first term and it was really cathartic to play during the shit storm. The game even pissed off the “alt-right.” The New Order and The Old Blood are much better at “endless destruction of Nazis” though.

Might be time to reinstall and play through them again.

Freefall,

Honestly, never tried the newer Wolfenstein games. This sounds amazing!

fsxylo,

This is weirdly far down. Wolfenstein is the definitive Nazi killing experience.

Alfredolin,

Because Elon’s balls are nonexistent. At least he still has the heart and brain, however small and hard of a target they are.

Akasazh,

Well he has balls, as he managed to produce offspring, yet they are such that even his male offspring rejects the idea of balls altogether
