I just finished replaying the Arkham games. Thinking about not moving to the Uncharted series since I’ve only ever played the first game, a tiny bit of the second, and half of the fourth. Want to experience the series / story in full.

Snowrunmer. Something about dragging big trucks through mud is just very relaxing and satisfying.

SIGHKOTIK,

Same! Had mudrunner on steam then snowrunner on epic, just got snowrunner on steam with all the dlcs on sale, and really enjoying the laid-back vibes.

the_kbar, do gaming w Can you guys recommend some good games for me that would work well on an MBP M2 Max?

I guess this is kind of a troll comment, but Moonlight off a gaming PC or a cloud node with a GPU is actually a pretty perfect companion for the MBP’s 120Hz screen.

I saw Timberborn getting shilled a bit on here so I’ve been checking that out. Lots of fun so far. The droughts keep absolutely wrecking me, though.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, a game that hooks a lot.

Should mention, since it’s not mentioned here, I’m looking for a mobile (Android) game. 🫣

vanquesse,

Old School RuneScape is a good pick. Great game and solid mobile client.

If you’re okay with optional cosmetic mtx then Albion might be worth looking at too.

AdventureQuest 3D has a single class exclusively behind paywall, but it’s a one-time fee. Beyond that it’s cosmetics and crafting speed-ups for real money currency (which is also earnable from normal gameplay)

@sabreW4K3@lemmy.tf avatar

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the suggestions.

Didros,

Gonna add another vote for osrs. Very good mobile game for when you wanna mine the coal rocks and make number go up. :)

vanquesse,

Since the game is getting a rather big addition in a few days: RuneScape 3 is also not bad, but if you want to avoid mtx and p2w you have to pick the “Iron(wo)man” option when you start. This removes the ability to trade or use the auction house system, but in return all the p2w is stripped out (and imho the progression of your character becomes much better)

Umurangi Generation! It’s a really cool game about punk photography in a near-future capitalist dystopia.

Yeah, quick resume on xbox as well and that’s great, most modern games use it. Not all though and not on PC.

mp3, do piracy w Does anyone still burn their movies to DVD?
@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

I still burn DVDs for my grandma who lives several hours away. She doesn’t have a computer or the Internet at home, so in order to share video clips from the kids I convert them to a DVD she can play on her TV. She’s so happy each time she receives a new disc in the mail and it allows her to see them grow between visits.

Pulp,

USB?

@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

She finds it easier to just put the DVD in there, as it will autoplay the whole thing without any intervention, and I take the time to make a cover and everything.

@PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works avatar

The Gaming Porting Toolkit has worked fairly well for me with Diablo 4, so I imagine more PC-only games will be available as well as it exits beta. In the meantime Baldur’s Gate 3 (early access) and No Man’s Sky have native Mac support and I love how much time you can spend with them. I admittedly mainly play PC with those.

I also played the Middle-earth games on Mac if you’re looking for a more linear style of narrative.

th_in_gs, do gaming w Game Pass - What's your favorite sleeper hit?

Was a sleeper - not sure it still counts, because it caught some good press, but Pentiment. Way more fun and engrossing than any short description makes it sound. And I feel like I even learned a bunch from it!

minishoemaze, do gaming w How well does PSVR work on PC?
@minishoemaze@beehaw.org avatar

Are you looking at the original or psvr2?

I believe the experience is more complete (though unofficial) with psvr1, but work is underway for psvr2 compatibility (again, unofficial)

Edit: psvr2 progress: twitter.com/iVRy_VR?s=20

I am looking at the original. They can be found real cheap where I live second hand

minishoemaze,
@minishoemaze@beehaw.org avatar

I have 0 experience with it, but from what I can tell that same iVRY project is complete for psvr1 (and some other headsets)

harpuajim,

If you’re going to buy second hand then you’d be better off with a WMR or Oculus device.

richyawyingtmv,

Don’t bother.

I tried this route, you’ll be disappointed. I would advise getting a pre-owned Rift S which are cheap as fuck now.

Works perfectly with steam VR, and has proper tracking controllers. You can’t play Half Life Alyx with the PlayStation set - you can with a rift s. You’re basically cutting out the vast majority of PC VR experiences if you go with the PSVR.

Also you don’t need a Facebook account for the rift s, unlike the quest headsets.

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I own a Rift S as well and absolutely hate Meta’s software. On the hardware side of things I’ve had pretty much constant disconnection issues

richyawyingtmv,

Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.

Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I thought it might be a loose connection or a cable issue as well but I’ve tried reseating them and also using an externally powered USB hub because I’ve heard that can fix some issues.

Don’t you need Meta’s software to setup the headset and get your computer to recognize it?

@Zoot@reddthat.com avatar

Commenting here so I see a response. Apologies in advance.

HeyLow,

Likely just a usb bandwidth limit you are hitting, try unplugging other devices that arent in use, I had this issue with my rift cv1 Edit* Also plug your rift directly into a usb 3.0 port on your motherboard, hubs even powered ones can cause issues with high bandwidth devices

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I have tried that. I unplugged everything except a wireless keyboard I used to navigate the menus and it didn’t help

HeyLow,

Odd last troubleshooting thing I can think of is to try plugging it into one of your front panel usbs since they are usually using a separate usb controller. Otherwise you might just have a defective unit

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Due it being like this since I got it, an intermittent issue, and a common issue online I don’t think it is the unit. Killing Oculus’ software and restarting it would occasionally get it to work so I feel like it might be that. I spent sometime reading Oculus Support threads and others shared my suspicions.

My only other thought would have been my motherboard or power supply. My CPU, GPU, and RAM should be enough.
