newthrowaway20, do games w Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 | Review Thread (92/100 OpenCritic)

This game popped up on my radar a few months back. Definitely gonna check it out.

Going Medieval is a pretty great building/management type game! It gets updated often with new content too

You build your castle and manage the sims in their daily jobs. There’s a great building system, farming, defense against raiders, mining, a good crafting pipeline. It’s a lot of fun

I have 247 hours on record. But because it’s really slow, I stopped playing it.

Check out Elin.

Basebuilding/dungeon crawling/pixel art/roguelike. Kinda like ADOM meets stardew, but weirder and more Japanese. Weirder how? Here’s the wiki entry on the chaos shape race, which you can play as.

VERY in depth systems in the game. Mutations, crafting, prayer, it’s a deep game.

A classic one would be to go for BG1 and BG2
Then either play the enhanced editions with EET or play the originals with Baldur’s Gate Trilogy to allow you to play all three games as a singular campaign (as well as running BG1 in the same engine as BG2 if you go for the originals)

I played them all already :)

anamethatisnt,

Switching to management then, have you played Banished?
Have you played the mod Colonial Charter? Latest version is 1.76 and I found a GDrive download here:
www.gog.com/forum/banished/colonial_charter_mod
Mod makers site seems down.

I did play banished. I haven’t played the mod though, but kinda don’t want to play banished anymore. Is the mod really worth getting back into it?

Edit: I see I already am subscribed to the mod in the workshop so I have played it.

anamethatisnt,

Depends on what parts of banished caught you. The mod lets you build much more visually pleasing cities by adding lots of different housing styles and so on. It also add many more production chains. Was many years since I played it and I think it was an earlier version of it.

Seems to still be up on the workshop too:

Aviassembly.

Its fun in the way that building airplanes in KSP is fun. The game is small, and the physics are simple, but for $10 its a good value.

Just fyi, other companies like miyoo are thinking of stopping the US shipments as well. At least according to annon discord convos with support. But with the situation changing by the hour who knows.

I’d say it’s inevitable. With Anbernic (arguably the bigger name of them all) saying no more, I’d say they’ll all halt them sooner rather than later.

No problem for those of us in Europe or…anywhere else in the world, but I’m sad for those stuck in America (well, those who voted for a different leader anyway) who have to suffer.

Thanks so much for writing this. They are always so good and make me nostalgic for the old gaming magazines.

threelonmusketeers, do astronomy w [Meta] Comm Clarification

I think that !space is the most general community, and communities like “!astronomy” and “!spaceflight” are subsets.

  • Interesting data from a telescope? Astronomy and space, but not spaceflight.
  • A new GPS satellite is launched? Spaceflight and space, but not astronomy.
  • The Perseverance rover drills into a neat rock on Mars? Space, but not really astronomy or spaceflight.
  • A new space telescope is launched? Definitely all three.

These are just my thoughts though, and I’d love to hear what others think.

@Bee, @otter, @Bitswap Thoughts on changing the display name of !space from “Space & Astronomy” to just “Space”? Not that astronomy posts wouldn’t be welcome, but it could help reduce confusion with this community.

Bitswap,

Yeah. Actually confused me for a minute and I had to go dig into all the different communities on mander.

I think it makes sense to change the display name.

otter,

I’m good with that too. A pinned post and sidebar list should help people know where to share content.

threelonmusketeers,

Friendly reminder regarding changing the display name of !space :)

otter,

Thanks! I’ve changed it now.

It looks like the icon and banner are broken, even on mander.xyz. @Bitswap, were you in the process of updating those? It could be a cross instance moderation issue. Otherwise how are these:

threelonmusketeers,

Thanks!

The new banner and icon look great! I like how the icon is partially transparent.

otter,

Nice :)

I made the promo post and scheduled the second one to go out in a few days: lemmy.ca/post/43840038

threelonmusketeers,

Awesome!

PS1 version of 6 sure is a choice

ampersandrew, do games w Thoughts about Crysis Remastered and multiplayer
@ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

I’m seeing reports in the forums that the GOG version of the game still has its LAN multiplayer. I only played a bit of Crysis multiplayer, but I can see why it would have been great. I was mostly on college networks at the time, so online multiplayer was rough for me unless it was peer to peer with someone else at my school, and hardly anyone had a computer that could run the game at the time; mine only got it running on low/medium settings.

MajesticElevator,

That’s nice! There still are some custom servers and modifications but I think they’re not open-source and not well known

MajesticElevator, do games w (my first time here sorry) prison review and suggestions

Building all these foundations / floor must have been so expensive!

I usually build only when I need something, the rest is grass. It’s not really bad to make prisoners walk on the outside.

Also, not industrial enough for my liking, I use shared cells that are a bit bigger but have 4 slots

_Lory98_, (edited ) do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 20th

I’ve been playing Under Night In-Birth II. I had bought it last year but never actually played it. After this first week of matches I’d say it’s my favorite in this latest “generation” of figthing games.

I randomly bought Azure Striker Gunvolt on Switch, since I rememberd hearing good things about it when it came out, but it’s not much fun to play. It feels really unpolished, the levels and bosses are a bit on the annoying side and the combat gimmick, where you need to tag enemies with projectiles to be able to damage them, feels really bad to use as it’s slow and unsatisfying.

Everyone playing Blue Prince reminded me of La-Mulana, which I’ve been playing in the last few days. I’m a bit conflicted on it, since I like most of what the game does except for the combat which I find rather bad and unfairly punishing when considering how imprecise it is. I am enjoying the game, although I’m a bit worried it might be too long.

chloyster,

Yeahhh I bounced off la mulana pretty hard. It’s good but I think it’s maybe a little too much for me

_Lory98_,

Understandable, yea.

The puzzle part feels like Outer Wilds, but without the log to help you and it’s also a bit less linear, which I’m personally enjoying but I can see why it could be boring.

The platforming/navigation is a bit janky but usable after a while.

The combat is IMO absolute garbage (the bosses in particular are pretty bad fights that waste your time and the hitboxes are terrible) and wouldn’t be surprised if this is what makes most people quit.

For now at least, the exploration and puzzles overshadow the negatives, but they are pretty big negatives that are hard to ignore.

apotheotic,

I wanted to love La-Mulana a lot. And I do love it for building some of the foundation that some huge greats like Fez and Tunic and Outer Wilds stand upon. But holy shit, the game doesn’t want you to love it. The combat and movement are so punishing in an entirely unfun way. I stopped playing after getting what I understand to be like 70-80% of the way through the content the game has to offer and by the last ~20% of that I was dreading playing.

It is a game I have to thank for making way for the existence of some of my favourite games, but I hate it nonetheless.

@Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world avatar

I’m glad I got my (second) Anbernic earlier this month.

missingno, do games w Anbernic no longer shipping to the US
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus two years ago and liked it so much I wish I'd bought a more expensive model with analog sticks. I keep looking at all the shiny new stuff on the market and feeling the temptation to upgrade, but holding off because something better is always around the corner.

Well, guess I no longer have to worry about temptation now.

SolarPunker, (edited ) do games w I want a law for PC games to be offered in physical versions again

I’m always pro to retail in arts, people should care more about digitalization into other fields. As a PC gamer I’m starting to collect some used console and blurays, they costs mostly the same as digital but you own something. Also don’t forget the preservation issue.
