Greetings fay folk of the fediverse, It's the #SteamNextFest , to honor this celebration of the indie spirit, let's share our mutual experiences, and talk about the games that impressed you the most today
@games Games to replace Total War: Warhammer 3 with?
There have been rumors/controversies about the next #totalwar Warhammer 3 DLC, while I don't personally believe them, it's true that we're reaching the lifecycle end of this franchise, I'm thinking of a contingency plan, I've played this series since 2017, and to replace with something else is going to take a while.
Still, here are some of my ideas, and I would like to hear others from the community
I've gotten back into Cyberpunk 2077; This game went from a disaster to becoming the version which should have been released! So many systems reworked, being able to ride the Metro in cinematic style, and the new story of Phantom Liberty makes this game great. It's still disappointing that the pool of romanceable characters is so small, with only one gay man in the entire line up. At least the other parts of Cyberpunk 2077 are so much stronger, like the lore about the Cyberpunk universe; talking about the game makes me want to continue my Phantom Liberty play session!
@WanderingPoltergeist@Desmond373 Haven't played the expansion yet but played through the entire game after the big update before it and can't remember it ever crashing. Of course YMMV but worked great for me in OpenSUSE Leap through Steam.
Huh, so what other #ASEAN#gamers have mentioned, South-East Asia now have a better ping to European gaming servers than US West Coast (or any US-based gaming servers).
This is interesting. I'm going to expand my test in the future. But for now, the results are the same with or without VPN. I guess ASEAN now have a direct connection to the EU IX and uses the latest technology?
I wonder where our connection passes through to get to the EU.
Here in the Philippines, our connection goes through:
Taiwan or Hong Kong
From there it travels the Pacific Ocean to US West Coast.
From US West Coast, it travels to Central.
From Central to East Coast.
From East Coast to Europe.
If we now have a connection direct to EU IX, then it means we're no longer passing through the US?
Ooh, found this article: “12 of Asia’s most important submarine cable projects”
> Massive growth in connectivity demand in Asia has led to increased capacity requirements, and construction of submarine and subsea cables is growing to meet this demand. An estimated $2.6 billion worth of current and future submarine cable projects are planned for completion by 2025 – here are profiles of 12 of the most important.
It looks like by 2025, connection with the US West Coast is going to be far better than it already is. I guess, from a gamer perspective, we should stick to North American servers. LOL ^_^;; Maybe the EU connection is better right now because there were projects which were recently completed?? But once the other projects connecting us to US West Coast are online, our NA connection will still be better in the long run.
#Helldivers, are you missing the feeling of crushing steel beneath your feet? Try your hand at clearing bug holes! With a simple loadout you can increase your nest-clearing speed tenfold!
If you miss the thrill of being surrounded, give this a go!
#Helldivers! A new Major Order has been received from Super Earth! We have just over 24 hours to Liberate the 3 Terminid planets, Estanu, Crimsica, and Hellmire! However, the forces on Hellmire are currently impeding on the rapid spread of Liberty to Estanu and Crimsica.
Consolidate your forces, Helldivers! Remember the beginning of Phase 4!
A coop PvE game for two dads and three sons?
A shooter, preferably. Any recommendations, #mastodon guys? The youngest lad is 10, so as little violence as possible. Thanks 😉
I finally managed to launch my first nuke in Fallout 76!
It only took like 2 hours of dying and confusion because there's no clear instructions....but it was successful nonetheless!😬😅
Running out of things to do now🤣might wait until the new season drops to continue my expedition grind because apparently a new Atlantic City expedition is releasing alongside the new season...
Also, does anyone know if the daily stamps for the first expedition applies to each expedition individually or if it's for all expeditions overall? Basically if I do all 4 expeditions in 1 day, will I get 20x4 stamps?🤔
You're telling me, I found the REAL Sunny in Foundation and I can't even pet her?!?! What the FUCK, Bethesda!! Most egregious thing you've done to me!!! :kek:
If anyone plays Fallout 76 on PC and doesn't mind doing expeditions, add me so we can run some sometime. They're annoying but Bethesda apparently wants to shove them down our throats because they're the only way to get some of the best stuff in the game.
I REALLY want those Union PA plans but they mostly cost a lot of stamps...😩
An online space adventure by Spellbook available in #Linux, #Windows, #Android, #iOS, and #Mac (and #Steam); that is simple yet fun. Play with hundreds of players!
Time to jump back into Appalachia! I reached level 95 yesterday.
Though, with ADHD, I constantly find myself going for the "reward based" activities like events instead of doing the story quests....I want to care about the story, but I haven't gotten much out of the quests so far in terms of rewards besides game functionality like nukes for example.😬 🤷♂️

I've been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it's a sassy game that's quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provided an answer. Leveling up my Nexomon seems like a potential slog though, I've gotten used to experience sharing in Pokémon games; I must unlearn this behavior. There are cores which can act like an Exp Share, which is nice because there are two party members that don't need to hog a large chunk of experience! I've been juggling those cores around to passively level up Nexomon which were behind in levels while using stronger creatures to tank damage.
I appreciate the game's aesthetics because it reminds me of older Pokémon games, while remaining unique. The setting matches up with the desperate situation this world is currently in as there are settlements and camps throughout the land outside of their one big city. Humanity seems to be close to potential extinction. Nexomon Tamers are responsible for desperately keeping the wild Nexomon at bay so others can labor on in safer surroundings. I'm going to keep playing today and get further in! As the need to know what happens next is strong, I felt that similarly with Coromon too.
What online multiplayer games play well over wifi/higher latency?
I'm thinking turn-based games may work okay in this respect, but which of those might you recommend besides Civ? Also what other types of games work better over wifi/higher latency than you might expect?
I know ideally you'd simply wire up your system to not have to fuss with either, but it's not always an option in some circumstances.
I just finally got into this game and I’m completely shell shocked! I had seen it recommended before but ventured into other games without giving it a fair shake. As an avid RTS fan since Dune: The battle for Arrakis on Sega genesis, I’ve been slowly feeling more and more lackluster in the genres future prospects. I was a...
That aside, I've been giving it a look again lately but haven't dove in just yet. I'm in an odd mindset atm where I don't know if I'm down to wrap my head around RTS mechanics, but I'm really impressed by the looks of the game!
Also wanna highlight that this is a great rabbit hole to go down for other open source RTS games via Zero-K, Spring Engine, OpenRA, etc.
Is there any love for BAR (Beyond All Reason-FOSS RTS) on Lemmy? angielski
