Love Ooblets! The dance battles are a fun little replacement for regular creature collecting fights, and they also scratch that deckbuilder itch.

Frog Detective!

It’s a lighthearted detective series, more of a walking sim with humorous characters than anything. The magnifying glass doesn’t even do anything! The dev did a fun talk about comedy in games if you’re into that

Here’s a shot I got from the last game (corruption at cowboy county) https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/963c5204-44a7-4ccf-a974-61c99735c17f.webp

GammaGames,

KNIFE FIGHT!!!

There’s a lot to do outside the main plot, the townspeople were really interactive. Great rec! The falling leaves give it a cozy vibe too

GammaGames,

Most of the game is fantastic, but yeah my partner and I were surprised when that happened!
There was one other plot point where we raised our eyebrows, but I don’t know to do spoiler text

Little Inferno can be beaten in ~3 hours and… let me check… yes, it’s on mobile! It’s by the people that made World of Goo, don’t sleep on it

Hat in Time is a great modern 3D platformer, movement was fun and I liked the variety of characters across the levels. The Murder on the Owl Express quest was my favorite!

GammaGames,

The OLED update also helped create a secondary market of used/refurbished units, it was a pretty good decision

GammaGames, (edited )

This is actually advertised as having no emulation, all FPGA. Idk if those are compatible but they also say the n64 was the first multiplayer console in the header so they’re clearly a little sketchy on the details lol

GammaGames,

That’s silly, thank you for the explanation!

Streaming high-res data from the cloud

GammaGames,

How… do you think we represent physical objects digitally? Vibes?

GammaGames, (edited )

We shouldn’t have to say that at this point, my initial reply already conveyed that information.

I understand the gripe with it though, they have the option to download areas ahead of time.

(Though it’s probably a one-time download, with models and textures cached for later use)

GammaGames,

My first reply said it was streaming high-res data from the cloud. Considering it’s a flight simulator advertising to cover the entire world, most people would intuit that would include textures and 3d models.

I’m not going to sit here and argue with you, have a nice day.

GammaGames,

I thought it was a fun comment, didn’t come across as negative at all. Also TIL!

GammaGames,

They’ve had this type of stuff in the works for at least a decade

GammaGames,

Announcing a new partnership with Jira…

ryujin470, do gaming angielski

In your opinion, what video games have terrible names?

GammaGames,

Octopath Traveler
Octopath Traveler II
Triangle Strategy

Bravely Default is pretty bad too

GammaGames,

It’s “fitting” but that doesn’t make it a good name

GammaGames,

Definitely good games! Just weird names

GammaGames,

I didn’t know he did gaming stuff 👀 He’s so damn fun to listen to, binged part of his channel a year ago. Will throw this on tonight, thanks!

Nice revisionist history there!

GammaGames,

I’m aware of Symbian, it ran on over half of the world’s smartphones before 2009. It’s not some hidden knowledge.
You’re the one who said it had zero innovations, which is patently false. Here’s a short piece from AllAboutSymbian.com on the topic. I never claimed they invented the smartphone or anything like that, but it’s obvious that you think I did since you added that part about the tablet.

This conversation is not worth my time, you’re free to think whatever you want. Have a nice day!

GammaGames, (edited )

Based
also lmao your instance name

GammaGames, (edited )

… do you actually believe this worth posting? The only thing they’ve done is give the organization a generic “R” logo, there’s literally zero changes between the “fork” and godot

Lots of Skyrim!
Also this game for Playdate called Spilled Mushrooms, I’d been waiting for it to come out a while. It’s a nice blend of simple card game and puzzle, each round only takes a few minutes. The goal is to pick animals to help collect your mushrooms from different areas, animals have different abilities and each biome can have modifiers. It’s pretty much endlessly replayable and very satisfying once you get into a groove! I’m glad it’s not on more platforms because I’d lose so much more time to it

I need to get UFO 50! It looks like so much fun

GammaGames,

I should replay Titanfall 2, that story is so much fun

GammaGames,

LOOOOVED darkwood! It took me a bit to get a feeling for the game, but after I got my daily rhythm I found the gameplay satisfying, tense, and occasionally scary.

GammaGames, (edited )

I decided I wanted to replay Skyrim so I went and downloaded a few mod packs from Wabbajack and played through the intro to Bleakfalls Barrow on each.

Nordic Souls is a 200GB pack that makes the game feel modern and look great! My poor 1060 struggled in some places but the world is gorgeous and the interface is much better. It has the quick loot feature from Fallout 4 and overall feels like a great pack if you want to replay Skyrim but want something that feels new. Also it comes with like 1000 hair styles.
I did have a frustrating bug that made my crosshair disappear while trying to be a stealth archer, and the map was a 2D paper map which didn’t have enough detail for my liking. The list is like 1300 mods so didn’t where to look to fix those things.

Then I tried out Legends of the Frost, which is closer to 40GB total and is a more tame pack that mostly fixes bugs and enhances the vanilla world. I added the quick loot mod and this is what I’ll be playing on, the performance is much smoother on my graphics card and I don’t really feel the need for all the extra content. The world is still a lot prettier!

Nordic Souls is absolutely worth it if you’ve got the space though. There were more enemies wandering around Bleakfalls Barrow which made it a little harder, the refreshed map made it feel fresh to explore (I was surprised at some of the differences in world props!), and it has a ton of new content in the form of quests, companions, locations, spells, weapons, armor, etc. And I definitely recommend wabbajack, it makes these crazy mod lists a 1-click install (as long as you have the prerequisites)

GammaGames,

That’s what I was trying to avoid! Nordic Souls adds so much littered around that it was a nice surprise and mostly something I’d play.

Does ESO have controller support? I’ve heard good things about it forever, just never played further than the (quite good) beta.

GammaGames,

I didn’t know ESO had mods, interesting! I’ll have to try it.

You’re right about the never-ending story, even with the pack I found I’ve gone and added a few 😆

Thanks for the info!

I immediately wanted a Playdate when I saw it. It’s a little yellow handheld with a crank designed by Teenage Engineering and made by Panic, who’s also published Firewatch, Untitled Goose Game, and a bunch more games recently.

I’ve had it for a year and still use it daily, the screen works great most places I’m waiting in line and I have a book light for the evenings.

One thing I really like about it is that it’s not an emulation device. It comes with 24 games +2 free on the Catalog and the community has made a ton (over 1000 on itch!). They’re mostly bespoke little titles that aren’t available anywhere else. The Lua and C SDKs are easy to use and encourage homebrew, I’ve got a pomodoro timer launching in the on-device storefront next week and am currently working on a little suika-like. Definitely recommend if you’ve got the spare cash!

Plus it’s got a pizza case! I love it so

GammaGames,

I can see why, unfortunately it’s a little over $100 just to make the device so I can’t see it going down much. We can’t really get economies of scale for such a niche product

Sometimes you can get a good deal used!

GammaGames,

I haven’t thought about my leapfrog in years! Was a fun little thing.

The Piboy looks great! I’ll have to put it on a list of gift ideas for my partner

GammaGames,

Dang, maybe I’ll go for the Analogue Pocket instead. Thanks for the tip!

GammaGames,

I do recommend it! The season (delivered over 12 weeks) is sometimes hit or miss, but that’s mostly because there’s something for everyone. And being so dev friendly is a huge bonus if you’re into that

GammaGames,

Someday! 🙏

GammaGames,

Now those are fancy! I really like the joystick support.

Related, do you have any recs for an SP-style emulation handheld? I love the clamshell for tossing in my backpack
Edit: 👀 anbernic.com/products/rg35xxsp

GammaGames,

I didn’t know about this game until today when an interview with the dev popped up on my podcast subscription feed, it looks good! I might have to go in blind

GammaGames,

LOL for context, it was the fastest way to grind xp: x.com/realradec/status/1831041419756388429

GammaGames,

The specific mode yeah, you’d get some xp for kills but as far as anyone knew ending the round ASAP was the most xp/min you could earn. They wanted to get the platinum trophy before the servers shut down

GammaGames,

Golden Sun is still one of my favorite RPGs!

did you hear that Dr Disrespect tried to make a comeback the other day with a Deadlock stream? (beehaw.org) angielski

[alt text: several screenshots of posts on twitter. The bottom post is a tweet from @DrDisrespect on twitter, which says, “LIVE in 30 minutes. I just installed Deadlock… what the hell is this game? If it’s from Valve, I must know. I must… understand the future of multiplayer gaming.” This Dr Disrespect tweet is a...

GammaGames,

Crazy behavior, the guy could play anonymously but he’s clearly not in it for the fun of the game.

GammaGames,

What games have ya been playing?

GammaGames,

Correct, most of the similar communities linked in this thread are defederated

GammaGames,

So it turns out Sea of Thieves is super fun when you join lobbies? I got bullied in solo for like 5 hours before trying it out 😆 Yesterday I adventured with a mute that only used preset text messages for two hours, I can finally buy a hat!

GammaGames,

So is this an expansion of the tech demo or a new thing? I don’t follow ps news but those reviews have me looking! Curious how this will sell

GammaGames,

Thanks, and no worries! Looks pretty good

GammaGames, (edited )

I was trying to describe it to my partner and went with “the game purple monkey, the girl with the gun, and a rainbow”

I’d accidentally combined two characters from the cover art

GammaGames,

I also request lightsaber pictures!
