Thomrade, do gaming w Prey 2006 or Prey or Prey 2017; which do you prefer?

I’ve only played the 2006 game, (loved it. 10/10 game for me) and was really excited for what was going to be Prey 2, there’s still a trailer floating around for it, you’d be a human bounty hunter cast into the wider galaxy post prey 2006s story. Unfortunately that didn’t get made.

I’ve heard good things about the 2017 but have yet to play it! Its been on my list for a while.

If you’ve played prop hunt and like randomly beating objects to find out what’s people you’ll probably like 2017.

In all seriousness though it is a good game that has a decent amount of fun frantic chaotic combat. I feel like it’s a bit difficult to compare to other games but if I had to I’d say it reminds me a bit of BioShock and Control

Totally! My favorite astronomical “wow” with my daughter was when she was 12. She wanted to learn about photography, so I set up a tripod at dusk to teach her about aperture, shutter speed, and motion blur. We also compared shots with a remote shutter so she could see how the slightest camera shake during a long exposure would result in a blurry shot.

We were about to go inside once the stars came out, but instead I thought it would be fun to show her how they looked with a two second exposure. “Wait, why do they look like little commas? Are they moving?” I didn’t say a word. I just looked at her, and then it hit…

😳”No! We’re moving!”🤯

Facts aren’t nearly as interesting without the connection of self-discovery.

lolcatnip,

She came really close to another mind-blowing fact: if you’re talking about linear motion, there’s no difference at all between “they’re moving” and “we’re moving”. Too bad the apparent motion of the stars is caused by rotation, otherwise it would have been a great lesson to introduce basic relativity concepts.

disguy_ovahea,

She understood the curved lines as illustrating the rotation of the Earth. We didn’t get into motion away from the universal center.

She’s much older now. Tyson’s version of Cosmos came out in her teens, so we watched all of those and then went back for the OG Sagan episodes. She’s my favorite nerd.

lolcatnip,

Yay!

kindenough, do gaming w Prey 2006 or Prey or Prey 2017; which do you prefer?

I like them both. Two completely different games called Prey indeed. The first one I played on Xbox 360 when I just got one, the 'reboot' on PC. I think I liked the story from the first one better, and I wish they continued the first Prey as it ended with kind of a cliffhanger, but the second Prey all in all was a good game.

My kids and I had a similar though more humorous and less mind blowing experience after reading the “I crave star damage!” comic.

assassinatedbyCIA,

Don’t crave star damage unless you want bits of you carved out or frozen off in the future.

Fairly different games, 2006 was more of a classic linear narrative shooter in the early 2000s tradition but with some brilliant mechanics and novel guns, and a pretty cool storyline (if a bit b-movie-like). 2017 offers a freedom of approach and exploration that’s uncomparable, but it’s also more stern in atmosphere and tone. I don’t have a favourite, but now you made me want to do a replay of 2006

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I feel like 2006 was a bit like a rollercoaster. You kind of just enjoy the ride and eagerly await what’s coming next. It helps it’s a relatively short game by today’s standards with HowLongToBeat saying it will take seven hours to complete.

New Pipe (github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/11191 )ma ten sam problem na razie. jak wyjdzie łatka to nie będzie się zacinać. Gray Jay też może być ale jest to płatna apka z nieskończonym okresem próbnym.

Może to jakaś szansa, że Trump nie wygrał. Z dobrze dobranym wice ma realną szansę, którą Bidon w szybkim tempie tracił. Trochę przedłuży powolną agonię imperium USA, ale wydaje mi się, że z perspektywy naszego regionu to perspektywa stabilizacji zamiast nieobliczanej eskalacji napięć.

U mnie działa NewPipe, minus jest taki, że trzeba instalować z pliku *.apk, a nie ze sklepu Google Play. Ewentualnie można sobie zainstalować sklep F-Droid i stamtąd pobrać aplikację.

F Droid nie znajduje mi new pipe, a podany przez Ciebie linka nie otwiera się.

Dzięki za link. Udało mi się z niego ściągnąć NewPipe, ale nie uruchamia się żaden film.

fogstormberry, do gaming w Are there any voxel-rendered (if that's the term) game like Voxatron?

it sounds like you want an internal voxel grid and for all the art and animations to respect that grid. I don’t have any recs but I’m posting in solidarity because I feel the same way about pixel art games

onlooker,
@onlooker@lemmy.ml avatar

Much appreciated nonetheless. And yes, that’s precisely what I’m looking for.

hagelslager, do gaming w Are there any voxel-rendered (if that's the term) game like Voxatron?

8-bit Armies/Hordes by Petroglyph? Westwood style RTS games (Dune II, Command & Conquer) by folks who worked on those games.

Edit: never mind, these games are animated IIRC. Just keeping this reaction up in case someone else is interested in these kind of games.

Haven’t played '06 but the '17 had the best first hour of any game I’ve played.

Mocno nijaka, w ogóle się o niej nie słyszało podczas kadencji Bidena. Obstawiam, że może mieć wyniki słabszy niż Clinton w 2016
