since people are talkinmg about balatro here, is it possible to buy it somewhere other than steam if i don’t want to support the child gambling company?

Child gambling company?

GreatRam, 3 miesiące temu

Valve enables cs2 gambling through loot boxes. Many children are introduced to gambling this way

Coffeezilla’s investigation on the topic

Ah I wasn’t aware but not surprised. Not sure why you’re getting down voted for sharing information. Ahh ~~reddit ~~ lemmy

My best guess is people took “child gambling” to mean the game itself 🤷‍♀️ (or maybe they don’t like that i insulted their favourite brand)

Volvo and the cs2 loot boxes incl. their weird workarounds like the X-ray scanner so they can enable child gambling in countries like France that have made it illegal. like they really love child gambling it’s fucking weird

yeah I thought about that but apple and google are each bad in their own ways. maybe i’ll mail a tenner to the dev studio and just pirate it

Not on gog or itch sadly. The official balatro website only links to Steam. So it’s either Steam or get it on a console :/

Is there anyone who sells games that aren’t bad in some way? You don’t become successful in capitalism by being altruistic. Any company successful enough to run a market probably has some skeletons in their closet.

Redout 2 if you're into futuristic racers. It's a lot of fun.

How’s Redout 2 compared to the first one? I have the original, but have been on the fence with the sequel.

simple, 3 miesiące temu

It's a more polished version of the first, its not that different. If you liked the first you'll enjoy the 2nd

Assetto Corsa is a steal at $5. It’s a bit older, but there is a ton of community-made content.

Wreckfest is stupid fun but more arcade than realism.

Turn based RPGs. I played through Persona 3, 4, and 5 on an elliptical machine in the past few months, and am now on Metaphor Refantazio. Atlus games seem perfect for this, heh. Not your pre-2005 style, but there’s plenty of old RPGs out there.

I also played through most of the Yakuzas on the elliptical too, although on easy difficulty since they didn’t become turn based until very recently.

I have played a few hundred hours of XCOM 2 on my treadmill. But I’ll play anything turn based that I can use a controller with. Steam controller takes care of the ones that need a mouse.

Balatro since it’s not realtime

TropicalDingdong, 3 miesiące temu do games w Recommendations for games to play on a treadmill (i.e. not too intense)

Balatro.

Sounds like the Fire Emblem games would be perfect for this!

emb, 3 miesiące temu

Agreed! There are several good ones on 3DS.

Advance Wars is also a great option - you can play a couple of them on 3DS with back-compatibility. Or, of the pocket can play GBA, there’s those.

And there are some PC games out there (although much more recent than 2005) that are in similar genres, like WarGroove or Dark Deity.

Monster Rancher 2There is also an enhanced version for the PC, you can find it on Steam.

Vandal Hearts

Fucking Vandal Hearts goddamn.

Slay the Spire

This and Balatro (and probably many rogue-lite deckbuilders I haven’t tried) are perfect compulsive time killers. Even though they’re newer, I would say they deserve serious consideration.

And Monster Train

And Dicey Dungeons

Tk4z1, 3 miesiące temu do games w Recommendations for games to play on a treadmill (i.e. not too intense)

I would imagine any turn based game would work. I can’t stop playing Slay the Spire but there’s a bunch of options.

Resident Evil on a treadmill isn’t strenuous?! Mad lad territory.

I love a simple but satisfying puzzle game like Peggle, Nubbys Number Factory, Hexic, Lumines etc

“List all notable video game characters”

Oh cmon

Might as well ask someone to list the top songs of every year since the 80’s.

Edit nvm it’s not even characters, just games.

Pong is from like 1972.
