Ormulum, do gaming w Doing things in games because it simple felt good.

Flying around in the birdsuit in Pilotwings 64. I could do that for hours. Except I usually eventually try to fly through a cave and crash. Gosh I’d love a new Pilotwings

llii,

I’d also love a new pilotwings in the N64 style. With the music it was so relaxing.

Really enjoyed the first one. Looking forward to the 2nd one. But I hope they fixed the stupid insta-death spikes.

Edit: Ah, the Push Square review mentions it.

Artranjunk, (edited )

That’s kinda shame actually… I hope the platforming will be more challenging then. Give me more of those damn Miriam’s trials!

Twink, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?
@Twink@hexbear.net avatar

If GOG develops their own Linux client I might swap. Until then I’ll be on Steam.

donio, (edited ) do gaming w What are some open source games you can recommend for Linux?

Some I don’t see mentioned yet:

Scarecrow59,

Zero k, RTS

root, do gaming w If the same game is available and on sale on GOG and Steam, on which platform you rather buy it?

Depends on thw game and what sort of mod support it has. Obviously on Steam if it has Steam workshop support. DRM free on GOG is good but at the same time Steam has been doing quite of lot of good things related to gaming on Linux and I would like them to continue doing it.

Privatepower42_,

@root @vis4valentine is the game not DRM free on steam, too?

root, (edited )

The fact that when you purchase a game on Steam and it gets aasociated to your account is a form of Digital Rights Mamagement. Not as bad compared to Denuvo (depending on who you ask), but it’s still technically DRM, just not as intrusive.

Game purchases on GOG on the other hand, while the purchase is associated to your account, the game can be installed on all “your” computers and can be run simultaneously.

kratoz29, do gaming w How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

The only multiplayer game I play is Borderlands 2 with my girlfriend, and that is very once and then… So yeah, MP games are not the same for me anymore.

Well except for Jump Ultimate Stars, I always make time to play that shit whenever possible.

theangriestbird,

Tf is Jump Ultimate Stars? 😂

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

A DS fighting game like Super Smash Bros.

theangriestbird,

Shit that looks cool af. How are you playing that? Emulator, or?

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

Original hardware, but you can even play from emulator.

Take a look at the custom server, this is the discord server where we play each other and with this guide you’ll be able to set everything up.

And yes, it is cool af, here you can see some gameplays from some users from the discord server, it is not a competitive fighting game by any means, but it can get competitive 😅

theangriestbird,

idk if you’re gonna catch me on your servers, but i appreciate you sharing! maybe another adventurous soul here will follow your instructions ;)

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

Not my server by any means, but yeah, I was even thinking of making a post about this, I mean, the user base is so tiny on Lemmy yet and it would be like promoting a niche game to a niche community lol.

theangriestbird,

you never know when your new best friend might be hiding out in some corner of kbin. lol

buckykat, do gaming w How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?

The only game I’ll play with strangers is FFXIV.

PALONK0, do gaming w How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?

Overwatch 2. The casual matches are fast enough (10~20min?), and I like the teamwork in game

millie, do gaming w what's some of the best dialogue systems you've seen and why?

I loved the dialogue system in Shadowrun for SNES. It was pretty simple, didn’t really have any branches or anything, but it feels autonomous in a way that’s hard to match.

Basically, wherever you talk to someone, certain words in their lines will be in bold. Once you’ve seen one of the bolded keywords, you can ask any other character about those words. Most of them will spit out a canned response specific to that NPC unless you ask about something relevant to them, but the list of keywords is long. It makes it more than possible to play the game several times through and miss certain things. There are runners you can only hire if you get the right keywords, even parts in the main story where it takes a little wandering around trying different things to get the keywords you need or figure out where to use them. Some keywords are basically dead ends, only mentioned one or two times, maybe only in the conversation they’re found in, but others will come up again and again.

Shadowrun in general felt very open as a game. Even though it had some barriers to progress before being able to go everywhere, there’s a huge amount of freedom in general.

For its time the amount of freedom and depth in the same package was not at all the norm.

Morrowind similarly used this dialogue system, and I truly do like it a lot more than most others, even with a lot of options because it feels more like naturally discovering information and acting up on it, rather than just having a threshold on your stats, or completing quest triggers.

Zapp, do gaming w As a recovering video game addict, what is the best way to avoid 'the jitters' when exposed something that reminds you of gaming?

I’ve found diving deep into retrogames is great for my similar situation.

Games from the 80s, 90s and even some from the 00s are often designed to be played in much shorter play sessions.
