It’s not a competition, all operating systems suck.

MangoKangaroo,

Been playing TS4 again, lightly modded to facilitate poly relationships. I’m not a fan of the shit storm of DLC that’s basically the staple of the game’s monetization at this point, but that’s nothing that can’t be solved on the high seas. Otherwise, I still enjoy the series a lot. (Also, shout-out to the various weird spinoffs like Castaways.)

MangoKangaroo,

Playing on my Oldschool Runescape ironman. I’m currently grinding out cooking so I can cook my own sharks. Other than that it’s a bunch of stupid farm runs. >:(

MangoKangaroo,

A bit of an anticlimactic ending, but it’s still nice to see Team 0% achieve their goal.

MangoKangaroo,

Air Ride is goated.

MangoKangaroo,

Maybe not your speed genre-wise, but Final Fantasy Tactics has a version for the PSP. Goated game.

MangoKangaroo,

Given we’re not counting the Steam Deck or virtual console titles, I’d probably go with the DS. I’m too big of a dirty Pokemon fan (among the million other great IPs on the older Nintendo handhelds), and the DS is particularly nice because it has backwards compatibility with the Gameboy Advance.

MangoKangaroo, (edited )

Beta 1.8 and its consequences was a disaster for my childhood nostalgia.

MangoKangaroo,

They fixed the distance bugs :(

MangoKangaroo,

What do you mean? Taylor Swift made Minecraft.

MangoKangaroo,

The consequences of straying too far from spawn got less interesting.

MangoKangaroo,

How’s your fortress coming along? I’m super excited for the return of Adventure Mode. :)

MangoKangaroo,

YouTube kept recommending Fallout: New Vegas videos, so I’ve been doing a mostly bee-nice NCR run. Did main quest up to the dam, currently working my way through Honest Hearts (did Old World Blues super early for the implants).

MangoKangaroo,

I had a more detailed response to this written down last night, but the servers went down when I tried to send it so I cba.

This is super freakin’ cool. Nevermind -Well-Crafted-, I’ll call this one ☼Masterful☼. What was your inspiration for the original project?

MangoKangaroo,

There’s something magical about the idea of suspending a king in a room above a volcano. Y’know, just in case the peasants get mad. ;)

Best of luck! I’m sure it will be !!fun!! either way.

MangoKangaroo,

This was me playing Ocarina of Time.

MangoKangaroo,

I never played Majora’s Mask. Having seen speedruns of it, I’m pretty sure it would have fried my brain as a kid.

MangoKangaroo,

The first bit is basically me whenever I do a challenge run in a Pokemon game.

MangoKangaroo,

My honest answer:🥚

MangoKangaroo,

😳

MangoKangaroo,

Maybe you’re a Matryoshka ;D

MangoKangaroo,

Zero. The only new games I purchased this year were BG3 and Lethal Company, both of which are goated for completely different reasons.

Beyond that I’ve just been sticking to games I’ve been playing for years. No stinkers there, probably.

MangoKangaroo,

Ayy someone else who’s been enjoying Against the Storm.

MangoKangaroo,

Goodness gracious you’re far further along than me! I haven’t touched it for a bit because I’ve been busy with other games, but I’ll get back to it eventually because it’s super fun. (Also GL on P20 I believe in you.)

MangoKangaroo,

I just sunk basically an entire extended weekend on Killing Floor 2. It’s garbage entertainment but I can’t stop playing 😭

Watching George Romero got me in the mood for zombie sims, so I’ve also been edging my way back into playing Cataclysm: DDA.

MangoKangaroo,

KF1 was a huge part of my childhood, and I actually went back recently and started grabbing HoE achievements for the first time. Looking forward to 3 as well. :D

MangoKangaroo,

Sick! What distro are you running?

MangoKangaroo,

I think it definitely depends on the sort of game. I don’t mind paying AAA pricing for a game that actually feels like the studio gave a rat’s ass about providing good value. BG3, for example, was very much worth what I paid for it even just with the ~100 hours I got out of my first playthrough.

Of course, there have also been value kings that I’m not sure will ever be beaten for me in terms of price to hours played. Minecraft and Terraria are good examples here. I got Minecraft during either late Infdev or early Alpha, and so I paid fuck all compared to the current price. Considering I’ve probably put tens of thousands of hours into that shitshow in the over 13 years that I’ve played it, and I’d say it’s more than been worth it. The same goes for Terraria. At 1.5k hours of playtime and counting, it’d’ve been worth it to me even at far more than the $10 price tag that I (probably) got it at way back when.

So tl;dr, I’d say that if a game is truly well-made and enjoyable, then I don’t mind paying whatever the devs need to charge to keep their doors open. Bonus points if I can purchase the game DRM-free somehow.

What is something (feature, modes, settings...) you would like to see become a standard in video games? angielski

I’ve been thinking about making this thread for a few days. Sometimes, I play a game and it has some very basic features that are just not in every other game and I think to myself: Why is this not standard?! and I wanted to know what were yours....

MangoKangaroo,

One of my all-time favorite games, Barony, just added an option that replaces spiders with isopods. I’m not an arachnophobe, but I thought it was funny and thoughtful that they did that.

MangoKangaroo,

Less a design choice and more a technical feat, but I’m hoping that we start to see the phase-out of loading screens and more of a push toward seamless gameplay. I was watching a video from the newest Spiderman and it was pretty damn cool. Practical for all games? Maybe not for a while. But I certaintly would like to see more investment in leveraging improvements in disk and memory capabilities going forward.

MangoKangaroo,

See, I figured consoles might actually be more likely to cross that finish line first. My logic is that the controlled platforms would give developers a) potential access to a more bare-metal style of storage medium maybe not practical on PC, and b) a consistent performance target (no needing to account for people using those pesky hard drives!)

I feel like we’re maybe already starting to see this with the PlayStation 5, but it probably also depends on how much work actually goes into optimization for these development teams.

MangoKangaroo,

Wikipedia says that The Onion has had a website since '96, so it’s definitely possible! (Also, TIL The Onion has existed since 1988.)

MangoKangaroo,

Not sure it counts, but I played a loooot of Killing Floor in my early teens.
