Hey, just clicked on something in this series of posts for the first time. Genuinely, thanks for your effort in writing it. I usually see link posts, and I have missed big original writeups like this. We need more people like you on Lemmy.
Re: slowdown, I use Lemmy exclusively via browser and it’s a very smooth experience for me ;)
]ANYWAY, to the point, I really enjoyed this video from Fastminer07 on YouTube, it was clear and reiterates how important this is. Worth a look if you’re searching for interseting videos for your down-time](www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Ih__mE05c)
Might want to turn that first bracket to be an opening bracket so the link works.
I’m not a perfect being so I use Steam out of convenience instead of GOG, though I do have a GOG account. I am pleased to see good news from them and that they are maintaining a good library of games. It is nice to see the option that I think people choose in an effort to be anti-DRM and to support games preservation doing well.
I should probably look into the Switch emulator thing more, sounds ripe for an original !hobbydrama post.
politicsI guarantee Musk chose DOGE as the name to seem like some cutting edge internet maverick making a throwback to the meme, but it just… It doesn’t feel appropriately playful, like the actual CAN-SPAM act from the US government before he came around. It feels incredibly illegitimate, “stop trying to be cool,” and that’s putting aside any personal political beliefs I have about how it actually is an illegitimate department. I’m not sure why that got included in a gaming news post, though, to be honest politics is stressful. I do keep up to date, but having it show up in a gaming newsletter when it is not directly connected to gaming, even in what seems to be an agreement with my views, does not feel awesome. And no, it’s not an “ew politics” because it does not affect me, I stand to be very affected. I just have to be incredibly disciplined about my intake of political content to not be constantly stressed and dooming and scrolling nowadays, especially given how I stand to be affected, and reminders outside of Politics Time make me unhappy. Of course, it is your post in the end and you provided a lot of wonderful content :P I usually just make basic link or image posts or ask simple questions, I’m no creator.
Recently picked up shapez.io again, part of the !automationgames genre. Just started that community. Also currently playing !infinitynikki (which at least one person on Lemmy mistook for a waifubait anime gacha game with straight male gaze fanservice going off the community icon, which I think earned it a bunch of downvotes when promoted in !newcommunities. When to be honest, it is the opposite: still an open world gacha game, but marketed at women. No romance featured, no sexualized fanservice, but a lot of pretty outfits to dress up in with nice hair and dress physics), !pokemon, and Antimatter Dimensions which is in the !incremental_games genre. I have several !otomegames that I kind of just stopped midway through even though they were enjoyable; likewise with the !crpg Dragon Age: Origins. I enjoy the above listed genres and games, as well as !citybuilders, !tycoon or management games, and !lifesimulation games. There are other games I enjoy too but this is sort of turning into my subscribed communities list, and I’m not currently playing them right now 😅 I game on Linux (PC only, not in the market for a console, however Steam trying to sell the Steam Deck and then doing the whole Proton thing to try to make more games compatible with their Linux-based console means that suddenly a lot more games are playable on Linux so I’m grateful for that), iOS, and MacOS. Lutris has been very helpful for finding different emulators on Linux.
For transparency, I mod !automationgames and !otomegames but not the rest, and I want to help the other Fediverse communities I listed grow. I like those genres but am not super knowledgeable about any of them and like seeing recommendations and discussion about them.
From a game design perspective, this is a fine example of how to set up progression, all done at various levels – the abilities, the opponents, the character stories, and the location reveals. Not too difficult in game mechanics but does take time to complete. From Google Play....
Finished my first BG3 run, man the acting is great, especially at the when characters get their big emotional moments. I’m thinking “that’s acting!”, also recognised Omni Man immediately....
When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic.
