I’m just a weird, furry, pan guy (cis he/him). I also have a big, blue username.

Currently on Earth for 8 years ensuring steps to unite humanity and usher us into the galactic civilization just so I can see my boyfriend again.

Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun

StarCraft (not sure how the remaster is but the OG is something I would consider a “must play” game)

As someone who likes games that can go on forever, I actually kinda want to see generative narratives to just have an endless story that provides more variety than the kind of “mab-lib” style procedural narrative for repeating activities.

Just once, I would love to see a game being played via musical instrument, and when you’re actually in the shit against a boss, it ends up creating a banger of a song.

Counter-Strike and PUBG are still in the top 10 most played games on Steam. CS is literally number 1.

X3: Reunion/Albion Prelude

X4

Elite: Dangerous

Spacebourne 2

Shit, even Star Trek: Online does what Starfield promised better, and it’s basically just another dime a dozen MMOs with a high profile licensed IP behind it.

For the most part, it’s either going to be missing a few things you’re looking for, or will offer everything but not actually be good/finished (such as with Star Citizen or anything ever made by Derek Smart, and why none of those are in the above list).

Help me out: which looks better for the Duck - the neck tie or the bow tie? (lemmy.world)

So I’m re-doing some of my Do Not Press The Button (Or You’ll Delete The Multiverse) character models and I have this duck that is kind of inspired by the Companion Cube in Portal. I want to make it as appealing as possible so the players will attach to it and carry it around with them. Which looks better! I’m more partial...

¿Por que no los dos?

Let’s see what a combination neck and bow tie looks like on the lil guy.

Day 179 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (pixelfed.social)

My wifi was still out until this evening, so i decided to finally pick up Max Payne 2 since i had it installed, if only so i can finally clear it off my list. I made it about halfway through the entire thing today before stopping when my Wi-Fi came back on....

The truth was like a green crack through my brain. Weapon statistics floating in the air, glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. The repetitious act of shooting, time slowing down to show off my moves. The paranoid feeling of someone controlling my every step. I was in a computer game. Funny as Hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of.

If you can still download the legacy version of Dwarf Fortress from Bay12Games website, Adventure Mode is the best rouge like I’ve ever played. It’s not yet in the Steam version, though.

For a more action-oriented rogue like, I find Returnal to be fun as hell. Roguelike bullet hell 3rd person shooter, with a pretty intriguing story line if you manage to actually get all of it (finding story bits is as random as everything else).

Edit: Er… They’re on PC, though. DF could run on pretty much anything; returnal might need a decent gaming rig (or a PlayStation).

Named it 4X; but the X stands for words that begin with E.

Explore, Expand, Exploit, Exterminate.

Why aren’t they 4E games? 🤦‍♂️

Why on earth would I want to smell stinky fungus zombies? Stinky zombies are literally the thing I point to NOT wanting with Smell-O-Vision!

So… Is the movie mostly without dialogue or just 1 character who talks to nobody in particular? This is one thing I can not see being anywhere close to what the original is like, because the game wouldn’t really make a good movie if they were faithful to the story.

Kolanaki,

Ever since CGW stopped publishing, I’ve just gone back to going by word of mouth. If a real, actual person is telling me in their own words a thing is good or bad, I generally trust them. Especially if they are someone I actually know personally, or at least have shown themselves to have similar tastes to mine.

And obviously if something becomes super popular, I gotta see what the fuss is about if it also seems like something I would like.

It originated as a desktop os and you can download it right now

Kolanaki, (edited )
!deleted6508 avatar

Well good news: They’ve also recently announced that they’re going to be updating it to be the same as what’s on the Deck. THough we probably won’t see an actual release until either just before or just after the new version of the deck is officially announced/released.

Also: The failure of the Steam Machine had little to do with the operating system and more to do with the fact there was not one singular “Steam Machine.” It was any number of prebuilt PCs with extra stupid steps. TO say it wasn’t meant for general desktop use is bullshit; a Steam Machine was nothing more than a desktop PC running this OS.

That’s why his new game is going to suck, on purpose. 😃

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

Wrath of the Righteous does it pretty good. The only sub game in the game that kinda sucks is the strategy game for the giant wars toward the end, and it’s more due to the fact that it’s not super robust; it’s just the bare minimum needed for that style of play.

Really that’s the most common flaw I see with “everything games;” they spend too much time putting everything in, but it’s never as fleshed out as it would have been if they focused entirely on one aspect.

I used to run 7 instances of Ultima Online at once so I could play all my characters at the same time.

With GOG, I just put the installers onto a thumbdrive.

With Steam, I was burning discs using its offline backup tool, but I haven’t had a disc drive in my PC for years now. IDK if those can be backed up into a thumbdrive these days… It only allowed CD/DVD images to be created the last time I ever used it.

Tons of my games were owned physically before Steam existed though. Those I just keep in their boxes in my closet/storage bins.

I usually just leave it in the computer until I need to take it somewhere.

You can sequence break the game and not ever soft lock it. You probably missed a puzzle or something. Check the manual for clues.

Please tell me this means they can work on Evil Within 3 now

Do they own the rights to Evil Within or does Bethesda?

Based on what the OP said, Cyberpunk 2077 would still pass the filter because it does not use a single instance of the words “dystopia” or “dystopian” anywhere on the store page. 😌

What I really remember about the game was how fucking shitty the microphone was. I literally went through 9 of the fucking things before I just gave up on it. They would just stop working for no good reason. Quite possibly the worst hardware accessory for the Dreamcast.

Maybe if they made it for PC I might actually get to have some fun for more than an hour or two with it, since I’d be able to use a good microphone.

Kolanaki, (edited )
!deleted6508 avatar

I know it was the mic itself in my case, because the accessory also could be used in Quake 3 Arena and a few other online games for voice chat and it literally just stopped picking up sound after some time.

It wasn’t that seaman would just hear me wrong. The thing was cheaply made so it doesn’t really surprise me. But it also sucked that there wasn’t any other mics for the system, like there were VMUs.

Putin releases the RuskieStation. It’s fine. Not awesome or anything. Shortly after, Yum! Co. finally releases the KFConsole. Plays every game, even ones from the future, at 8k in real time FPS while also cooking an entire KFC meal for you. For only $299. Russia’s economy collapses. Putin is banished to the shadow realm. Somehow this also leads to peace in the middle east.

Seeing as how the US Army had created America’s Army as a recruitment tool, I could see that also being why this game console is being made. As a military recruitment vessel.

After years of holding out hope, 2024 was the year I finally gave up on BioWare (www.pcgamer.com)

I really tried to enjoy myself. God, I tried so hard. I attempted to find nuggets of joy within its hamfisted dialogue, one-note companions and the flashy but soulless fights. But I just couldn’t do it. Every time there was a glimmer of hope, it was dashed against the rocks of infinite disappointment....

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

Damn you really held out.

I gave up on Bioware the minute they announced they were purchased by EA all those years ago.

Kolanaki,
!deleted6508 avatar

Before EA, Bioware’s RPGs had some personality and took risks trying new shit. Since Mass Effect, they’ve been especially formulaic, toned down, and sanitized for a larger audience.

EA makes good looking, (usually) well polished games meant to appeal to as wide of an audience as possible, and when you have spent years playing games with a distinct style you can very easily see this shift once EA acquires a studio. Either you’re never going to see those games again, or they will become the most watered-down, generic version of the studio’s greatest IPs.

The one thing I can recall where it was known that EA had little to no involvement in development of one of their own games was when DICE made the first Mirror’s Edge. It was merely a AA game and the execs didn’t think much about it one way or the other during development; and then it became a huge hit so they started getting involved with the sequel. Which was shit.

On one hand: I also hate Epic.

On the other: It’s free. When did everyone start bitching even about the free games? Claiming all the free games and never actually using the store, if anything, hurts Epic. You don’t even have to use EGS to download them! You can use a 3rd party app like Heroic.

Kolanaki,

Not to mention, it was Steam that was responsible for the advent of not owning the games you buy, something I consider to be one of the worst things to ever happen to gaming.

Hate to break it to you, but you didn’t own your games even when they were still sold physically. The standard liscence agreement for software as we know it today started in the 80’s, and it was mostly because of Microsoft.

Valve is, however, responsible for lootboxes which first saw action in TF2.

I like how PS1 did 3D differently than pretty much any other system ever, which is why if you look long enough at a model, you will see it warp and contort weirdly as vertexes jump between points because it didn’t have floating point numbers or something like that (can’t really remember the technical details).

It’s super unique and faking this effect in modern engines is pretty neat. It’s also weird playing on some PS1 emulators that don’t have this effect, because it’s better than original hardware.

The smoothing effect of the scanlines from a CRT screen wasn’t that extreme. They still very much looked like the meme.

Cyberpunk RED is the pen & paper game. The most current version, anyway.

There is also a platformer set in the same world, using the same main character, on PS1 called Skullmonkeys.

I remember finally getting my hands on the editor for the Build engine after a few years of making maps in Doom and Heretic and had thought 3D level design was only something super geniuses could do… Until Hammer showed it was just the garbage UI/UX of Build lol

I’m glad that when I made my high school for Counter-Strike, it was back in 1.6 and not more recently. Heard about a kid who did the same for CSGO just a few years ago and he got expelled and I think he was arrested because they saw it like “terrorist planning” or some bullshit…
