Ohno, my twin will see what games I play. Although they already get the friends popup saying what I’m playing when I start playing it.

They also wander into the computer room frequently to ramble at me so see what I’m playing them.

In short, we all play Dwarf Fortress and it’s not a secret.

specterspectre,

Dwarf Fortress is my favorite abstinence method. I abstain from leaving the house on the weekends.

“make sure your pops doesn’t see you spent 400 hours in futa games.” (I don’t know what that means and I’m not gonna Google it while I’m logged in at work.)

Why would you not look it up from this context, it seems to be a generic “don’t let them see” , why would you be so terrified unless you already knew what it was?

My mans denial game is a bit too forthright

r4venw,

For some reason, your comment made me think of a video game idea… Futa ball! Football where all the players are… yea!

If someone actually makes this game, no need to credit me. Game idea is yours to keep my friends

orbitz,

I bet the huddle sections would … have more code and or animations than most football games.

Not sure what my comment has to do with football, but sure…?

I mean, if any of my comments would have inspired Futa Ball, I would have expected it to be this one :

lemmy.world/comment/13700568

Islands at the end of something looking like boot : exists

Brazillians : 👀 o fute bal detectãoinho!

EDIT : I got inspired from the way Gremio spell out football :

“Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense”

Feathercrown, do games w Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice

Helldivers players have no idea how good they have it. What a bunch of whiny entitled losers lmao

Atomic,

Just because others have it worse, doesn’t mean you should settle for slightly better than terrible.

Feathercrown,

Your dev team and management cares about the players, that’s much better than terrible already

Atomic,

let’s make sure we keep them to that standard then.

Zeusz13, do games w Helldivers 2 players rip into Arrowhead for 'straight-up ridiculous' Killzone crossover prices, CEO defends the choice

I don’t get the bitching. Is it brutally expensive? Yes. Do you have to buy it? No. In terms of stats the gun is nothing special, the armor is quite good, but not essential. For a one time crossover, it’s fine.

Mora,

Is it brutally expensive? Yes. Do you have to buy it? No.

Will people buy it? Yes.

Will there be more brutally expensive items because of it? Yes.

Kbobabob,

Will people still bitch about the price? Yes.

Atomic,

Can you easily farm SC in the game? Yes.

CaptPretentious,

They hire psychologists to explicitly figure out how to better make sales. Logical thinking will not win. Microtransactions, which consists of crap you don’t need, is a billion dollar industry and has bankrupted numerous homes.

lepinkainen,

Nobody is forcing people to buy anything, you CAN resist.

Womble,

Thats true in a surface level way. Buts its equally true about cigarettes, heroin any other adictive substance you can think of.

lepinkainen,

In-app purchases and limited time game passes are hardly heroin

Womble,

No but your argument that no-one is forced to buy cigarettes is equally valid to arguing that for micro-transactions. One is chemically adictive, the other uses physchological tricks and is almost entirely unregulated.

ripripripriprip,

“This doesn’t affect me therefore it should be a non-issue for everyone else.”

MrScottyTay,

It generates FOMO though. I remember when you didn’t have to pay for stuff in games, so I personally still find it very shitty to have to buy skins etc.

Zeusz13,

Yeah, I can see that one. Using dark patterns is not ok

lepinkainen,

If you’re too weak to resist FOMO, maybe stay off the internet

MrScottyTay,

Even so. There was once a magical time when games did not have FOMO at all.

lepinkainen,

Yes they did, not owning the game was FOMO, and they weren’t free at the time.

MrScottyTay,

I’d much rather buy a full game from the get go and have everything available with no time limit on when i need to buy it.

There is no FOMO if you can leave it for years, actually get the game with all dlc cheaper second hand for a couple of quid and still finding a thriving community online that isn’t focused on completing timed challenges for various currencies to get cosmetics you like the look of before they disappear from the store or the deal for the cheaper price runs out.

Katana314,

I’m still a bit unsure how plausible it is to make a multiplayer game, keep it updated, and not sell content within the game.

The good devs restrict it to cosmetic options, but I can’t say I’ve moralistically stuck to that kind of perfection - I’m okay with new weapons/characters as long as they stay balanced against old ones. It becomes a sort of hazy issue.

MrScottyTay,

Halo 3 and other games of it’s time did well enough, and the multiplayer for them lasted way longer than most live service games.

Actual DLC was better than FOMO cosmetics in my opinion.

Katana314,

Hello? Halo 3 sold map packs, and possibly other things I’m not remembering.

That’s setting aside that Halo 3 was an exclusive. It wasn’t made to sell itself - it was made to sell Xboxes.

MrScottyTay,

Yep, map packs are dlc. And it wasn’t alone. Every multiplayer game worked like that at the time. Exclusive or not.

I’m curious whether that new feature, Hidden games, appears in this summary. I think it had some early missteps because it would disappear from some views but appear in others.

mnemonicmonkeys,

I checked mine, and it doesn’t include hidden games on mobile at least

@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

You guys don’t share your Steam Relay publicly and put it in a showcase on your profile?

/s… but I totally do that. I’m not ashamed of my gameplay.

EDIT: I just read the article and saw the mention of the “Dwarf” category. It’s maxed out on my spider graph, and I’ve only played 2 games with dwarves this year, out of 180 individual games I’ve played.

MajorHavoc, (edited )

“Dwarf” getting added as a category was a publicity stunt write in campaign by Deep Rock Galactic players, if I recall correctly.

There’s not a ton of games with the tag, but both DRG and Dwarf Fortress tend to get a lot of play hours by their players, I think.

cobysev,
@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

I used to be big on Deep Rock’s Galactic, but I’ve hardly played it at all this year. The other dwarf game I played was The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.

MajorHavoc,

The other dwarf game I played was The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.

Ha. I suppose that counts!

They’re just jealous cause I always have Atlyss launched and they can’t play my copy.

tfw_no_toiletpaper,

I played it (almost done) with a friend, had it wishlisted since the IronPineapple video. But on god, finding normal players to do content as a group is nigh impossible, this thing is full of gooners and chat is full of uwu RP, I just left at some point and did the bosses solo.

Yeah you gotta do private matches. Scrolling through the public lobbies really shows ya why this game was made.

Edit: Lmao, fatatouille

altasshet,

I have no idea what this is about, but the German guy’s reaction is hilarious

Skullgrid,
@Skullgrid@lemmy.world avatar

seems like an austrian meme, also “I can’t take it anymore”

prole,

LOL that’s hilarious. The game looks legitimately fun, so I picked it up, but I had no intention of playing it online. Maybe now I’ll check it out hah

I don’t have any games that would be too uncomfortable to talk about in my library, so this wouldn’t be an issue for me. Sure I might not want to talk in public about the furry dating sim Amorous, but pretty much anything else I’ve played would definitely be fair game. Especially Ardor and talking about collecting teeth to confuse people walking by.

His speech made me tear up a little and I have absolutely no dog in this race whatsoever. The fuck is wrong with people?

This is why I don’t share my steam tag with anyone.

I hate people being able to analyze my habits.

ATDA, do games w Valve is fixin' to start some arguments over the holidays because 'All adult members in a Steam Family' can see your Steam Replay page

We won’t charge for family sharing, but there WILL be a price!

taiyang, do games w Valve is fixin' to start some arguments over the holidays because 'All adult members in a Steam Family' can see your Steam Replay page

My worst offender would be the Neptunia games I’ve played (which I genuinely liked for gameplay lol) but honestly, if your gaming family can’t accept you at your Nep, they don’t deserve you at your NepNep.

Aurora_TheFirstLight,

I’m going to try those games now! (For the gameplay, of course)

DWin, do games w Valve is fixin' to start some arguments over the holidays because 'All adult members in a Steam Family' can see your Steam Replay page

Oh! This is just the year in review thing, not your steam gameplay recordings. I don’t want my family members to hear me demolishing a burger while I watch my factory grow

NutWrench, do games w After being honored at The Game Awards for helping laid-off devs, Amir Satvat says he's received 'countless' hateful messages
@NutWrench@lemmy.world avatar

The article was incredibly light on specifics. What were the hateful / threatening messages? Why would anyone have a problem with helping developers find new jobs? Why were those developers fired in the first place?

ByteOnBikes,

The “Go woke, go broke” man babies who believes that failed games were because of politics™, and any attempt to help those people is a act of aggression.

Pachinkopete,

These people complain about woke this woke that and don’t even know what the term means.

Aielman15,
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

Because the term means nothing, really. It’s just a vehicle for hateful rhetoric, incorrectly applied to everything that they don’t like. Yet half the things they like would be considered “woke” by their standards if they were released today.
