CheeseNoodle, do games w What is immersion to you?

I think a big one to me is when the world doesn’t revovle around me, when things happen without player input because the player isn’t the centre of the universe. Every NPC just wating in stasis or walking on a preset loop forever until I hit the next event trigger really kills immersion.

TalkingFlower, (edited )

I only know a couple of games that do this:

Stalker: Anomaly X4: Foundations Dwarf Fortress

Edit: Forgot Saelig.

CheeseNoodle,

Off the top of my head:

  • Rainworld
  • Thrive (the npc cells undergo independant evolution and competition)
    To a much lesser degree cyberpunk (and I would suspect fallout 4) with the correct mod sets can have the NPC factions carry out battles and limited warfare without any player intervention.

Any chair is a gaming chair if you game while sitting in it.

As a teenager, I had a nice old easy chair I used when computing, until one of our cats started pissing on it. Couldn’t get the stink out, so I had to trash the chair. Fucking cat, I liked that chair. He never did it to anyone else. Well, except he pissed in my friend’s shoe for some reason.

Janx,

Did your friend learn their lesson? Not saying they did anything wrong, but the cat clearly wanted to teach them a lesson!

I’m shopping for a home office chair I’ll also use for gaming and it sucks. Basically no stores carry samples in store anymore and those who do only carry those bucket seat atrocities. I’m ->||<- this close to just getting a big ol’ lazboy from a relative or something. And I don’t have cash for a Herman Miller or whatever.

Find a used office supply store. Wife got a Herman Miller Aeron for $100.

mushroommunk,

Holy crap really? Now I’ve got some googling to do

Postmortal_Pop,

Follow up, check out used furniture stores in your area. I have this 70’s high back, faux leather monstrosity that looks like I’m about to threaten James bond and feels like I’m floating.

Shit that’s what I use now

Yes. And Grandma made you a cushion for it since you were in it so much. and she cares about you.

My first computer chair once I was living on my own in 96. Oh and it only had 3 legs.

Before I moved out it was a vinyl covered high backed dining room chair I had rescued from the dump when I was 10 or so. My dad and I made a new seat for it from carpet padding and covered it with fake leather.

I loved that chair and the only reason I did not move out with it, is because it did not fit in the back of my VW.

night_petal,

I think those chairs are one of the few truly common American experiences.

prole,

I fucking hate those chairs. Probably made by Tekka

Office chairs have always been, and probably will always be, the way to go

Yeah, gaming chairs aren’t great for being comfy since they are modelled after race seats which are made to make you focus

IrateAnteater,

It’s one step stupider than that. Race seats are not made for helping you focus, they’re made to keep you physically in place during high g-force situations.

Carnelian,

Gamer force?

Axolotl_cpp,
@Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it avatar

Then that’s even more stupid 😭

snooggums,

They are also designed to be reclined when in use, not upright, which is horrible for working with a computer.

they’re made to help you not fucking snap your neck, hence the massive wings on the sides hugging your head

@Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca avatar

Race seats are designed to hold you in place in high g corners, and keep you safe in a crash. Don’t know why anyone uses one at their computer.

i wish i’d pulled the seats out of my old talon when it got totaled. those seats fit me like a glove. I’d’ve build my own office chair out of them if i could.

Swedneck,
@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

it’s like how all shoes had to have huge heels, after stirrups for horses became a thing and thus riders started wearing riding shoes.
The heels aren’t useful for walking, they literally only exist to hook onto stirrups, it’s insane.

Bloomcole,

They look like most sneakers these days.
Grotesk monstrosities

BillyClark,

I recall in the early dotcom days there were companies who thought every person needed to have a Herman Miller chair. Silly thought but they are comfy.

Lemmyoutofhere,
@Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca avatar

And? They are great, and cheap second hand.

captainlezbian,

Hush let the companies give low level office workers great ergonomic chairs. I’ve spent too much time in bad office chairs

BillyClark,

It doesn’t matter. Those companies went out of business about 20 years ago, and the new companies have their own chair policies.

emeralddawn45,

That actually is how it definitely should be. If you’re gonna make someone sit in a chair doing pointless work for eight hours, it better be a chair that’s less likely to give them lasting damage. Companies that give shitty office chairs should be sued for endangering their workers.

neidu3,

Yup. Gaming chairs are just office chairs with a car seat aesthetic for 8 year olds.

@Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

i was lucky enough to end up using saddle chairs for a while, and holy shit they blow anything else out of the water.
You can actually sit straight, rather than either leaning back or forward, it’s fucking amazing. Plus they make it trivially easy to stand up and sit down.

Valmond, do gaming w Gaming like royalty

People sat on trashcans or kitchen chairs or whatever, new gen needs a special chair to game smh. /s

Jokes aside, I remember watching a video where some pro gamer (Starcraft maybe?) showed off where he learned to play, and it was basically sideways on a crowded credenza in the kitchen.

Gaming will, uh, find a way.

Its a fun game! I have found sometimes the way of dealing with followers is…just to have less of them lol. Just letting them die, throw them into the compost and call it a day.

I just beat the new DLC. It was really fun! I liked going into the new areas.

brsrklf,

Depends, at some points you need enough to progress. I might have been a little too controlling of my cult’s population for my playthrough, because there were several times I struggled a bit to meet the requirement.

Haven’t bought the latest DLC yet. I might return to it.

@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

I’m starting to discover that lol. It really makes things more manageable even if it is slower. It’s a shame, i’ve really started trying to “save” everyone i come across since they always seem to be in some sort of Mortal peril

Followers agree probably the best resource. I think enlightenment ritual is super useful for getting devotion to unlock buildings and upgrades. You can also become a cannible which is significantly helpful for increasing faith with, again, is good for building devotion, plus no need for buriels. Most people pick grass eater, this advice might come too late.

I never end up being able to handle cannibalism in games. I think hearing about the Donner Party really put me off from it, even if they’re as close as you can get to “Moral Cannibalism”

Gaja0,

Understandable. I only felt pressure to pick a different route from my spouse.

wegan64hardy, do astronomy w Orion's Treasures over Snowy Mountains

Rising over a frozen valley in the Tatra Mountains, the night sky is dominated by the familiar stars and nebulas of Orion. This striking wide-field photograph, taken last month in southern Poland’s highest mountain range, captures both the rugged beauty of Earth and the structure of our galaxy. Above the snowy peaks, Orion’s bright belt stars anchor a region of glowing interstellar clouds, with the Great Orion Nebula—a vast stellar nursery visible to the naked eye Official Website
