I am about to finish Starfield. I did not enjoy my time with it. Luckily, I played it on gamepass, so very little monetary value was lost.

Might revisit once creation kit is up. That was the only way Fallout 4 was enjoyable for me.

I will head back to finishing my bg3 evil play through, filling the gaps with Darktide.

rgb3x3,

What’s sad is that Starfield was expected to be the next big RPG. The next Skyrim but in space.

Instead, most people are likely going to come out of their experience with the game with a “meh” opinion about it. It’s solidly middle-tier.

If there’s anything to be said, the visuals are incredible, but everything else is a retread of mechanics pulled from other games (most notably, half the ideas are taken from No Man’s Sky).

ezures, do games w What are some good funny games/mods out there?

Its a bit extreme, but crack-life for half-life. You know there are some people saying they get brain rot from memes? This is like the bottom of a sinkhole for your iq. Every sound is some random effect, the wortigons have afros, the headcrabs are British, your hud is in webdings, the soldiers speak in old tts and the smg has infinite fast firing grenade launcher.

Is a lot, and while you are lost in a word where nothing makes sense, you are losing your ass off. If that’s isn’t enough, there’s a standalone mod, that’s even stupider, even bigger, even more bizarre.

But it’s probably not for everyone, its very 2000 edgy humor, so if it’s not your thing, don’t force yourself with it (might wanna check some vids, Jolly has a good ones, but i think he deleted it some time ago).

When it comes to “classic” comedy, then Hi-Fi Rush is one of the highlights in recent times. Not only are there a lot of jokes in the dialogue that landed for me, all the cutscenes are also loaded with perfectly timed visual gags. Lots of humour hidden in the environment as well.

Other than that, any “serious” game that has a wonky physics engine can accidentally be pretty funny on accident. Slinging around corpses in Dark Souls 1 for example.

Wholly dependent on the game. Lots of Indies feel like decent, self contained games ranging from 3-8 hours of gameplay. Gris, Inside, Abzu, Thomas Was Alone, etc.

There’s a massive spreadsheet that’s linked on the reddit equivalent that tracks and breaks down handheld features, price points, and what consoles it can reasonably emulate too

Going back to legacy PC games from the 90s…

For adults that don’t mind blood, guts and cursing: Redneck Rampage

Something much more innocent for kids though: Mystic Towers

Ctrl Alt Ego. It’s a great little game that isn’t little. It’s a very complex immersive sim.

Still playing through Remnant 2; trying to get all non-HC items on my original character, as well as work on an apocalypse clear.

Otherwise, does rewriting bash/powershell scripts count as gaming?

Oh thanks for this list, I wish there were more that weren’t scary. I’m a total coward.

Counter Strike 1.6 undeniably the best mod ever (for those who don’t know started as a Half-Life mod).

Now if you don’t have any friends to play with i would suggest CS: Condition Zero (Deleted Scenes)

It’s basically a single player campaign that, while it’s pretty rough on the edges, it still serves as a fun, single player diversion.

Disclaimer: if you get stuck on a mission just watch a Youtube walkthrough.

LucyLastic,

TIL Counterstrike is a comedy

The Stanley Parable, although it couldn’t be further from High on Life in terms of its comedy. Personally I don’t love the game but it’s absolutely hilarious.

Fun fact: There’s a fan-made Unity port of the Stanley Parable for PS Vita

I tried the game and it really wasn’t a fun experience for me. It’s just an overpriced walking simulator with some not really funny dialog playing.

All I did was trying to find bugs because I wanted to uninstall after 30 mins, when I figured out it’s not just the start that is slow, it’s the entire “game”

I mean yeah, it’s absolutely that.

Not on Nintendo Switch, but i decided to give no man’s sky a third (or fourth) chance, and this time it’s actually working!

I have heard great things about NMS, but I like generally games with ending, even with arcade game, I enjoy them more if there is some goal you can work towards. So, I feel maybe I won’t like it much.

I’ll still give it a try someday.

@landordragen@lemmy.ml avatar

If you find a solution, let me know.

For the time being I’m using this website, and cast it via Chromecast to my TV: stream2watch.pk

Kribensis,

Yep, will do. I just tried that on mobile Safari and it stomped all over 1Blocker and opened like 9 tabs 😂

safesyrup,

Hi. I just tried the link to watch some cricket as an example on the Orion browser with ublock installed. No popups at all :)

Kribensis,

Interesting. Can you share how you installed uBlock on Orion on iOS?

narc0tic_bird,

Probably the macOS version. Although uBlock can be installed on the iOS version, but it probably doesn’t fully work (the popup doesn’t even open).

safesyrup,

Download the orion browser: apps.apple.com/ch/app/…/id1484498200?l=en-GB

Go on extensions, add firefox extension, and selext ublock :)

PrincessLeiasCat,

You used uBlock on iOS?

safesyrup,

Yes, i do :)

I just tried using Safari + AdGuard and it worked fine. No popups, ads whatsoever.

Kribensis,

The main page works fine. It’s the stream links that pop everything up.

I tried watching a soccer game and it worked fine too. shrug
