If no one else opens up their island for you, I'll open mine after work (6-8 hrs from now). I haven't played in ages but my island does have all the fruit.

Geodad,

That would be amazing.

As soon as I saw peach trees on that island last night, I started eating some and digging up the trees for transplant. 🤣

Shoot, I got home and the switch has zero charge. I'll let it charge and then if you're still fruitless I'll try again tomorrow.

Geodad,

I’m not sure what all else I’m missing.

@celeste@kbin.earth avatar

You need oranges and cherries? I just loaded up my island

Geodad,

Yeah, I think those are the ones I’m missing.

@celeste@kbin.earth avatar

If you send me a code, i can pop over and drop fruit and some extra recipes. Probably 5-6 pm est?

I envy you for experiencing it for the first time. Enjoy.

Tollana1234567, do gaming w Whine harder you assholes

there are surprising amount of incels in many games, and its the one that are trumpers or at least suppor tthem.

they do the same thing with movies and shows, constant complaining about race swapping, genders swapping, “traditional roles” not being adhered to.

I’m talking about a game that has yet to come out. Is the rudeness really necessary?

MellowYellow13,

Rudeness? Fuck lmao

I‘m gonna continue Salt & Sanctuary this weekend, which is basically 2D Dark Souls, like, heavily inspired by Dark Souls.

Other than that, I‘ve picked Outpath back up which is Minecraft graphics combined with Forager gameplay, I suppose? It‘s hard for me to describe.

Maybe I‘ll start Peak with my gf if she wants to. She‘s kinda scared cause she read it‘s hard, I have no clue, I‘m going in blind lol

Kingdom Come Deliverance II

Still working my way through this one. It’s aight. Not as good as the first one; better mechanics and QoL, but lacks the amazing writing and soul of the first one. Still very enjoyable when doing main quests though and excited to finish.

But… from what I’ve seen on Twitch I, next I really want to play Abiotic Factor. Described as Half Life 1 meets Minecraft, with apparently amazing progression. Can’t wait.

Quetzalcutlass,

Please post your thoughts on Abiotic Factor when you get to it. It’s tied with Grounded as my favorite game of the past few years.

Really? The first one seemed content to just let you do mundane tasks as part of your quests, but I’ve found that this second one makes sure that there’s always something interesting along the way.

Nelots, do games w Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

I'm playing split-screen Halo MCC with my brother. I've only got a 27" monitor to play on, so cutting the screen in half makes it very small and really brings back some of the nostalgia of playing the game back on the original xbox with a tiny little box tv lol.

With a mixture of the AlphaRing mod and an edit to the settings.json file for EasyAntiCheat, I'm still able to get achievements despite using a mod which is nice. We're currently playing through Halo 2 on Legendary, which is less nice. Sniper Jackals are the bane of our existence.

Sword of the Sea!

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to play much because there’s a spot in what I would call chapter 2 where the game kept crashing and dying. I tried so many things to make it work and nothing came of it.

Finally , last ditch effort, went through the process of upgrading from Mint 21.2 to Mint 22. And now it seems to be working! Yahoo!

Buuuut now I’m going somewhere this weekend and I won’t be able to play, lol. C’est la vie

Dremor,
@Dremor@lemmy.world avatar

Same here, but the performances are abysmal on the Deck (15-20 fps on low), and crashes on every map changes. I’m gonna wait next week to see if it goes better with the first few fixes, and then I’ll chose if I refund it or not.

Killing Floor (2009)

Proof that you don’t need good graphics for a good game. It’s gameplay still holds up after all this time and I’ve been diggin its wave based combat again lately.

48954246, do games w Game recommendations

I’ll throw in a recommendation for PlateUp!

Great little coop game like overcooked but has you run the entire restaurant.

Base game supports 4 players but is easy to add mods to support more

Simyon, do games w Game recommendations

I can personally recommend Duck Game. It supports 8 player local play.

It’s a fighting game that plays on a single screen. Quite fast paced and not everyone’s kind of game but so far in my experience it’s been fun whenever guests come.

Artisian, do games w Resonite VR: Massive performance update
@Artisian@lemmy.world avatar

I’ll add that Overte VR is the FOSS competitor. It also runs quite well, though is not quite feature competitive afaik.

madiator2011,
@madiator2011@px.madiator.com avatar

Both are great but I'm more sticking with Resonite but visiting Overte from time to time.

Artisian,
@Artisian@lemmy.world avatar

Very similar for me. I suspect Overte will feel better for me when I setup hosting my own avatar, world, etc.

Want been able to get avatar setup on Overte.

So far as I know, there aren’t a lot of 8-player local multiplayer games. The only obvious answer is the Jackbox games, using your phones as controllers.

Beyond that, I did find this Steam curator, who seems to specialize in 8-player games. From thier list, I recognize Gang Beasts, and Pico Park: Classic Edition. Party Golf, Screen Cheat, and Cobalt also all looked interesting, but I’ve never seen anyone play them.

Asetru, do games w Game recommendations

8 players is tough… We play quite some couch cooperative games, so here’s some recommendations. None of them except a single party game for 8 at once though, I’m afraid.

  • overcooked was already recommended. I second that. It’s great. But man, it’s intense, too… You can only play this with people who can laugh at themselves. I’ve heard purple say that this game might jeopardise friendships and I get it.
  • lovers in a dangerous spacetime is a game I’m madly in love with. It’s a coop roguelike which mixes space and lasers (which worked well for some of our kids) with pink rainbow unicorn aesthetics (which worked well for the other kids) and is just all around great fun to play.
  • boomerang fu was already recommended. I like the design and the the music has some real bangers, but it’s a competitive game which might lead to some conflict, depending on your group dynamics.
  • unrailed cost us quite some hours as well. We really liked it, but imho it gets quite tough quite fast - we rarely got to the third of iirc ten biomes. Maybe it’s because we always play it with our kids. Maybe we just suck at it. Despite this issue, we sunk quite some hours into it because it just still works well.
  • Trine is three players coop only… It’s a platformer. I didn’t like the design so much, but my kids love it, so I guess that’s still a good verdict.
  • pixel cup soccer is our go-to soccer game. It’s obviously a simple arcade game, but it’s fun.
  • Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed is our Not-Mario-Kart Kartracer and it works well. Not a fan of the tanks in there for a kid’s game though.
  • the Jack’s party box games or whatever they’re called are a kind of mixed bag, but drawful is great fun. It’s also the only game on this list for 8 players. You draw stuff on a phone or a tablet and there’s a well-working mechanic to make people guess what was drawn.
  • while I haven’t played it yet (waiting for a deal), Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is supposedly a great take on classic streets of rage style beat em ups.
  • Rayman: Origins is a beautifully made and well designed platformer that can be played cooperatively with up to four people. True classic imho.
  • for a quick party session, our kids love ultimate chicken horse where you build a level and then race through it. Tbh, for me it didn’t really provide too much replayability, but hey, if the kids like it, who am I to judge?
altphoto,

Wow, these were really nice recommendations! Thanks!
