not_woody_shaw, do games w DAE name their characters by their official name?

It can be fun to use the longest possible name the UI will accept, and then see if that messes up the UI in other places.

SlurpingPus,

In web development, it’s customary to create a user named something like Constantine Constantinovich Constantinopolsky and see that the interface accommodates it everywhere.

For one of the Dragon Warrior games on the venerable PS1 I chose the name Squall for the hero, after they guy from Final Fantasy 8, because why the hell not. These were the days when Square and Enix were competing so it seemed like a fun thing to do. So anyway, one of my dudes attack moves was called SquallHit, and I never figured out if that was just what it was always called, or whether they included my selected name in it.

Edit: nvm I’m an idiot and forgot about “vertical” in your request. Its not, but I still recommend it because its a good game

Slice & Dice is a dice building rogue like, didn’t originally have portrait mode, but they added it in at some point, I love the hell out of it

I love puzzle games, either ones with an overaching story or standalone puzzles. I love the professor layton series Googke Play Store. I believe you should also check out Monument Valley Google Play link. If you’re looking for a FOSS option, there’s Simon Tatham’s puzzle collection F-Droid Link

randomization of stats, on weapons and gear. i feel like that adds interesting elements, diablo 2 for example.

DT-990 Pros. Open backed so I can hear kids if they need me, but lovely sound when it’s quiet.

If I only my 3080 didn’t sound like a jet engine

emotional_soup_88,

Sweet! My closed headphones isolate even the sound of the doorbell, so people kind of need to text me if they plan to visit while I’m gaming xD

Which model/maker of the 3080 do you have? I have the Asus TUF Gaming OC version and while it sounds like an inspired fan, it’s not quite a jet engine… But then again, I only game at 1080p (but with ultra settings) because with my 24 inch monitor I kind of have a good pixel density anyway ^^

@Psaldorn@lemmy.world avatar

It’s an unlikely scenario, but if you have a doorbell that can be “connected” to, like ring or aqara you could set a light (hue, inner, generic ZigBee etc) to flash when the doorbell rings. I had a rube Goldberg setup for the time before I discovered open back monitors 😀

I’ll be real, I don’t know the manufacturer because it was a second hand pre built. An old hp omen that I replaced mobo and CPU (and somehow I didn’t take note… getting lazy on my old age)

I do roll 1440p and whatever settings get me 120 FPS. Nothing competitive

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,

30 series undervolt pretty well. You could lose like no performance and save like 20% on power/however that scales noise wise.

emotional_soup_88,

I second this! While I’m unsure how I would do this on Linux, when I was using Windows, I even gained performance from undervolting!

I get mine broken on eBay and fix them, usually just a loose wire. The plastic side clasps always break, beware!

XM34, (edited ) do games w Day 500 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing

I would love to play this game, but the lack of a FOV option makes it entirely unplayable. I tried several times and within minutes I’m at the point of almost throwing up. I’ve never encountered another game with a FOV this bad, it’s pathetic!

leave_it_blank,

Thank god!! I thought I was the only one!!

Sadly all the tips (pcgamingwiki.com/…/Middle-earth:_Shadow_of_Mordor…) did not work.

I hated to drop the game since it really seems to be great, but fuck those Devs…

Too bad this game’s nemesis feature is locked behind WB’s patent…

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I would have loved to see that in so many games. It pisses me off that they have it locked up like that

TevTra,

Patenting a game mechanic should be illegal. Somebody from n*ntendo should be investigated for patenting the summoning gameplay element.

Panties, do gaming w Which of the two would you purchase for someone who’s not so technical?

Has she tried playing on your steam deck?

I got the OLED Deck this year to replace my Switch, and the first thing I noticed was that my hands are not quite big enough. I can’t reach the Y button with my thumb quickly, and I cannot comfortably put my index and middle fingers on the bumper and trigger buttons. I ended up mapping the bumpers to the back buttons and got used to pressing trigger with my index finger, but it took a while to get over my muscle memory.

ModernRisk,

Has she tried playing on your steam deck?

Yeah, she plays a lot on it. But she usually wants me to turn on the games when it’s emulation.

She really likes how the Deck feels (ergonomically).

Panties,

As long as you’re comfortable setting up the emulations, Steam Deck seems like a better choice then.

Saving this post. I have never played but want to. Might check it out for real now.

I’ll tell you, the original game is just okay. It’s kind of fun, but it never really drew me in… The big wildcard here is the mod scene. Mods like Frackin’ Universe (which we are running) turn a game that holds most people’s attention for a few hours into a game that’s highly addictive, which tends to span for months on end.

Our last season was expected to run for a few weeks (that’s how long we lasted with the non-modded server). Instead, it ran something like 4-5 months. And most of us put hundreds of hours into it.

So, if you check it out, be sure to check out mods like Frackin’ Universe along with the core game. I don’t think it’s inaccurate to say that Frackin alone adds many times more content than the original game serves up.

It’s the perfect game for Lemmy in that respect. It’s all about free contributions (mods) from the community. They basically saw potential in a base game, and decided to create hundreds of hours of content for the entire community to enjoy. Very inspiring stuff in a somewhat darkening time in human history.

Oh, and the game is only $5-6 if you get a cd key! Be careful when using these services, but I’ve yet to be ripped off after buying dozens of games this way.

allkeyshop.com/…/buy-starbound-cd-key-compare-pri…
(this is an aggregate, I have used Kinguin with success which is on this list at $6 right now.)

Lost_My_Mind,

Nah. This is a chucklefish game. Best to just give chucklefish all of the $15 they charge. They’re worth it.

Also, check out wargroove!

bunnyBoy,

Wargroove was great! I saw a lot of people didn’t like the second one as much though. Do you have any experience in the sequel?

Lost_My_Mind,

I never got around to playing the sequal. I get like 20 minutes of freetime a week these days.

TheSpaceEngineer,
@TheSpaceEngineer@lemmy.zip avatar

Fair enough! I put the cdkey information out there for those that can’t afford the full $15 price tag. It’s been a hard year for a lot of people, so I always try to be sensitive to that. I think I paid $10 back in the beta myself.

taaz,

weren’t chucklefish the ones that strangled this game in the first place?
now take thus with a big chunk of salt, I do not remember at all if this is any true but feel like I read it somewhere
