FICSIT Productivity Packer Deluxe (Satisfactory). It’s a fun little game available at The HUB once it is fully upgraded. You take Tetris-like pieces and arrange them to fit within a square, completing as many squares as you can within the time limit to determine your score.

Then again, the real mini game in Satisfactory is the planning that goes into your factory while you are not playing the game. It’s the game that just keeps on giving.

thanks_shakey_snake,

The minigame is a spreadsheet on one monitor and a production planner on the other and it’s awesome 👌

Sometimes, it bothers me that this community has been taken over by the pc gaming bros. I guess it’s reflective of lemmy as a whole. After the burst of new users, you got a lot of diversity systemwide.

But that’s gone again now, and we are just left with the overly technical people who are going to circlejerk about the same things over and over.

Lemmy just didn’t stick, and this is what we have left.

Blackmist,

It was the same on Reddit as well.

PC gamers supposedly everywhere, meanwhile you can barely buy a decent GPU for the price of a PS5.

BorgDrone,

But that’s gone again now, and we are just left with the overly technical people who are going to circlejerk about the same things over and over.

I’m one of those ‘overly technical’ people and have zero interest in PC gaming. I prefer my PS5. I don’t want to mess around with computers too much in my spare time when I already do that for 40+ hours a week at work.

Anaconda in TimeSplitters 2, mostly for the incredibly catchy music.

I believe the correct answer is the loading screen minigames from Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 1-3

The Yamcha Spirit ball one had me actually trying to hit each item every time there was a loading screen lol

I’m really enjoying my Xbox Series X with a Gamepass subscription. I’ve played a much wider variety of games than I normally would have.

You’re right though, the jump between generations is getting less and less noticeable. N64 to Gamecube was like night and day.

The Mystery Ranch Catalyst might fit what you want. Comes in a few sizes, but it’s a very sleek pack that is well built and durable.

They are designed for motorcycles but this is what I used commuting on my bike. One outer pocket, an inner flap and the rest is open space. Expensive, but nice

DeepChill,

The Max 28 looks interesting. Thx!

My partner and I got a PS5 when they became available and only played a couple of games on it. It mostly collects dust now. I’d attribute a lot to PlayStation’s games becoming more available on PC.

Detroit: Become Human fits the bill perfectly! It’s a great game with some of the hardest choices you’ll ever make in a game period.

2077 cyberpunk only plays out badly

Drewelite,

The saddest ending is the one where you win.

sealhaslupus,

technically on par for a dystopian game

Bramble: The Mountain King

I ragequit half way through the final boss after having died for the thirtieth time. The game is absolutely beautiful, but fuck me some of it is tough.

Ended up watching the last bit on YouTube. No regrets.

sfera,

Thanks for the unintentional recommendation.

DJDarren,

Oh, it’s a stunning game, and I absolutely adored it. But that final boss is an utter prick.

sfera,

I doubt that I’ll ever get that far. I used to play games on “hard” difficulty and explore/find everything. Today I’m just glad if I find the time to play, have fun and enjoy the games, even if I need to play on “easy” difficulty. All the completionist aspirations are gone.

ShadowRun: Dragonfall

Its an isometric tactics style game that plays like the tabletop RPG it is designed around. It’s a lot of reading, so if you’re not into that stay away, but man… I remember when I beat it I was like “Fuck… Did I fuck up? I think I may have made some wrong decisions. I feel awful now”

I also love the setting it takes place in. For some reason fantasy always takes place in the past. Medieval elves, and dwarves, and Orcs etc. ShadowRun is a dystopian/cyberpunk future where all of these races exist. As if the fantasy world didn’t stop existing after the medieval era.

I really need to replay Dragonfall and Hong Kong. Never finished either just due to unfortunate circumstance outside the game but thought highly of both.

MIDItheKID,

Returns and Hong Kong were good, but Dragonfall rocked my tits right off. Had to have them surgically reattached.

Dark Soul serie. After dying for the nth time i gave up. I don’t have enough time to red again and again the same path.

Getting over it, well it do save your progression, especially your mistake.

Subnautica and amesia. I fear void place and it’s too scary.

Lojcs, do gaming w What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on?

State of decay 2 lethal difficulty. You pretty much can’t fast search. You can’t have a follower because they start brawls needlessly by attacking zombies and they don’t disengage, making running away from brawls impossible. And without a follower a feral spotting you is pretty much a death sentence. Add the insane food usage, overly eager plague hearts / sieges and the undying hostile npcs and I have no idea how people play that

mangosloth, do games w What are your opinions about 'handicap' features in games

When playing with friends/alone? Great! Customization is never a bad thing, and it enables groups with varied skill levels to still enjoy the game. Online multiplayer? Hate it hate it hate it.

One example: a lot of fps games are cross-platform these days, and I’ve never felt good about the things they do to balance mouse vs controller. I get why they attempt it, but it feels less like “balance” and more like they’ve created two different classes of players, controller being the close quarter players and mouse being the mid/long range flick shooters.

Another is any game that adjusts comeback mechanics during the course of a match, because I’ve never understood punishing someone for playing well

The idea behind it is aiming for a close ending for a variety of skill sets by trying to balance things as the last minute, but it certainly feels like punishing anyone who does well early on.

Some implementations are kinda fun when they seem like actual balancing, but only if they are early enough for the winning team/person to be able to address and not some unstoppable surprise on the last lap/few seconds of a match like a blue shell in Mario Kart.
