Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

Asafum,

Ah yes the song of our times: concerning leadership changes.

Asafum,

Two of their biggest mistakes were: one, essentially hiding the fact that the single player game Squadron 42 has taken the lions share of the development focus for the last 6+ years. This makes it appear like they just don’t know what they’re doing at all with star citizen and that’s why they’re slow (they still don’t 100% know what they’re doing).

Second, they made their sound design guy who was just interested in being a pilot and eventually learned how, to be their lead ship performance/gameplay director/developer (not sure exactly on the title name.) that has lead to the ships just not flying how people want or expect them to. That and Chris Roberts wants “WWII, star wars, type dogfights” when people want Newtonian physics, excess speed, fighting.

A special third I suppose: they need money to continue, I get that, but there is a special place in hell for their marketing team.

Asafum,

Sounds about right.

Project 2025: Fuck literally everything good in this world. Work to death and be forced to praise Jesus.

Asafum,

It’s as easy as taking a switch 2 from a baby!

…exactly like that as a matter of fact.

Asafum,

Day 331 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing angielski

Today’s screenshot is from Starfield. I know it wasn’t very well received, but i looked into it and wanted to give it a try myself. I got it on Discount a while ago (around 35$ if i remember correctly), and was originally going to play a while ago but Oblivion Remastered stopped that. I decided to give it a go though....

Asafum,

trying not to have too much of a spoiler___ The game has a new game + type mechanic that allows you to grow stronger in a specific way that I won’t ruin. Unfortunately that means focusing on an outpost or series of outposts becomes somewhat pointless. Depending on whether you care about the extra strength or not, you could either play through a few times to build up that strength, or just stick to your single game and build your outposts there.

Aside from what I wrote in the spoiler (which I hope really didn’t spoil anything) if you’re on PC I really suggest giving the Star Wars Genesis mod a try when you’re done! It’s a complete overhaul and it’s pretty damn cool!

Asafum,

I actually went back to give star citizen a shot since they added these “flight school” type missions that actually pay pretty well. It’s a chill experience to just pop on after work and do like 6-8 of them since they only take a few minutes each and then log off.

Other than that I found this game hard time 3 that is absolutely unhinged madness. It’s a janky messy game, but it’s fun chaos to mess with for a bit. It’s free on mobile, but I bought it on steam. It already has a horrendous camera and dealing with that on mobile is just asking for an aneurysm.

As Gamers Express Concern About Borderlands 4 Potentially Costing $80, Gearbox Chief Randy Pitchford Says: ‘If You’re a Real Fan, You’ll Find a Way to Make It Happen’ (www.ign.com) angielski

The video game industry has made the jump to $80, first with Nintendo and Mario Kart World, then with Microsoft and its price hike announcement that will kick in this holiday season. Could Borderlands 4 follow suit?...

Asafum,

Yarrrr this be very true, if ye be a real fan and really want te play somethin then you’ll make it happen

🦜 🦜 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🦜🦜

Asafum,

If they were smart they would put all of their eggs into squadron 42, make it as good as they can

They did, it’s why star citizen was lagging behind so hard for so long. All the production focus went into squadron 42 like 6ish years ago. Squadron 42 is announced for release next year and since the announcement they turned production focus back to star citizen. Still SC 1.0 is going to be years away still because they’re so damn slow with everything they do…

Asafum,

How dare the game teach me how to play! I want to be tossed into the world and complain that there’s no direction!

Asafum,

Thank you for sharing this! Why should journalists verify anything, right? It’s not like it’s their job to report factual information they researched or anything…

Asafum,

Steve fucking Bannon wanted exactly these kinds of men. He helped push the gamergate thing and wanted to cultivate a group that he called “rootless white men.” He utilized anger within the gaming community and focused it on right wing talking points, now that shit has spread like wildfire. Check any steam discussions forum for any reasonably popular game and you’re guaranteed to find a “is this game woke?” Thread or “stop with the fucking pronouns!”

Asafum,

Seriously lol monster hunter wilds was pretty frustrating with that shit… Like ok Olivia isn’t traditionally “hot” but wtf not every character in a game needs to be a supermodel for you to jerk to. I kinda like the strong woman theme anyway, she’s attractive in a different way.

Day 288 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing angielski

Today’s game is the Oblivion Remaster. I picked it up yesterday and let it install while i slept since it was an 8 hour install for me. My first impressions are that it’s a really faithful remaster. And i don’t mean the Gameplay either, though the tech behind it is interesting to me due to the og code being underneath. The...

Asafum,

Stop! You violated the law!

I was so happy to see the leaks were true. I’ve been dying for an elder scrolls game with modern graphics and whatnot.

Asafum,

Difficulty settings are wack. Normal is too easy and hard is way too hard. The slider literally goes from 1x/1x damage taken/damage dealt to 3x/0.6!

This was my only real complaint, other than them taking the noise cue away from lockpicking! I’ve really been itching for an elderscolls game with modern graphics and QOL so I’m super happy.

As for the lockpicking I learned something recently from a video and now I never break a pick. I can’t believe I never knew this:

Basically when you hit one tumbler there are the 3 drop speeds right? You push it up and it falls either slow, med, or quick. They “switch” between those three speeds when the tumbler falls back to the starting position.

If you hit a tumbler up and HOLD up (I’m on controller), or whatever key is up, then the tumbler will bounce slightly in the fully raised position. When it’s like this it will be remaining in the “fall speed” from when you first triggered it. We want it to be the slow fall speed so basically while it’s bouncing if you see any spring between “bounces” it’s too fast, let it fall to the starting position and try again.

If it’s bouncing and you can barely see any movement at all let alone any spring then it’s in the slow position, that’s what we want. When it’s like that watch the lockpick and when the lockpick is moving upwards trigger the lock with whatever the confim button is for you. It should always work!

Asafum,

One is specifically tied to the other. These people are being manipulated into being right wing pro-authoritarian voters because of “woke” blah blah blah. It’s always their boogie man because it has been made part of their identity, it’s part of the victim complex they have and they feel like “free speech warriors” when they fight against it… It’s fucking disgusting.

I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game angielski

So, I’ve spent over 2 hours on Steam searching for a nice game to play. But it’s all junk, as far as I’m fed with Steam recommendations. I liked ksp2 1, cities skylines 1, age of empires 2, baldurs gate 3 a lot, I just finished Divinity original sin 2. I like rpgs and management / factory games like workers and resources,...

Asafum,

As far as management goes x4 foundations is an awesome space game! I have hundreds of hours in that game spent just messing around with an industrial empire, buying mining ships, setting trade routes, all that fun stuff. You don’t even have to fight anything if you don’t want to.

Asafum, (edited )

I’m enjoying it quite a bit!

… except for the fucking lockpicking…

Whyyy did they have to make it so much harder?! It’s so unforgiving now and they took away the noise cue! I used to be able to do it without even looking at the screen because you could hear a distinct sound when it clicked into place. Now there are 3 different drop speeds and the sounds are so minimal…

Asafum,

I’m so happy to have been wrong about the shadow drop! Now I just need to get through the rest of the day at work lol

Asafum,

Booooooo… So not today. I’m doubting the same day drop. Knowing marketing asshats they’ll want to run a week or more of advertising first especially if they’re calling this a reveal. :/

Asafum,

NASAs “habitat words observatory” was ment to be the next major telescope after the Roman space telescope, and was meant to have its primary function be the search for extraterrestrial life which would help tremendously with these kinds of situations.

Was being the key word as apparently the shitbag GOP administration decided they want to axe ALL future telescope programs including the Hubble replacement Nany Roman… Scumbags.

Asafum, (edited )

Lance or sword and shield might be good to stay a bit safer and learn the monsters. This game series is all about understanding what you’re fighting, they will all have a “tell” when they go to do something. Some might take one step backwards and arch in a specific way, some might make a specific noise, and they’ll always follow with a specific move. You have to understand what they’re going to do so you can figure out how much time you have to attack.

You’re going to die a bunch, but after a while you’ll come to know how the monster you’re fighting will move and it will get easier.

After all that also get to learn the skills that come with armor pieces, you want specific skills to compliment play styles. I don’t remember freedom unite specifically, but for weapons with a shield you’d want a skill called “guard” that improves how blocking works, whether it’s taking less stamina when you get hit or allowing you to block once unblockable moves.

And as others have said, with the older monster hunter games you have to learn “the claw” lol they had absolutely atrocious camera controls

I keep editing as I remember other important things lol there’s a move called the “superman dive” that will save your ass. When your weapon is put away and you’re running AWAY from an attack, you can “roll” but it will make you do a dive that makes you invulnerable for a bit. You cannot be moving towards the monster or it won’t work and you’ll just do a normal roll. I also don’t remember if freedom unite has this as well, but in most monster hunter games you don’t have to get up when you get hit to the ground. If a monster knocks you down and you see they’re following with another move just don’t move, let your character stay down and you shouldn’t get hit.

Asafum,

What is O&O? I’m not to keen on jumping to Linux either, but I REALLY don’t like the idea of having recall active and having Microsuck know literally everything I do…

Asafum,

That looks awesome, thanks for sharing!

Asafum,

There are three guarantees in life:

Death

Taxes

The ultra wealthy will completely fuck up a society for personal gain.

Asafum,

Every day these people find a new way for me to hate them with a fucking burning passion.

Asafum,

Yeah it hurt to look at that lol …that lane is done for

Asafum,

It’s not even a ranked thing, but it’s why I’m sticking to my friend group or solo for monster hunter wilds.

“YOU ARENT RUNNING META!? IM OUT!” …thanks for forcing the monster to be scaled for multiplayer now that I have to solo it…

Asafum,

I’d say that’s me in that picture, but they have more hair…

I’m envious!

Asafum,

They just heard about packing heat and wanted to cool it down!

Asafum,

For me it’s not that I hate ciri at all. I completely understand women’s complaint that most games have a male protagonist and they can’t relate to that. I feel the same way, I like to feel at least somewhat immersed and I can never really get that with a female protagonist. It’s not like I don’t try either, I just never end up getting into the games I have tried that are like this.

I know it’s hard when the story is based on an individual, but I just wish more games had an option so everyone could play who they want to. I don’t hate them for this choice, it will just be another game that “isn’t for me” in the same way a hyper competitive PVP game “isn’t for me” which is fine.

Asafum,

Is it really like that for you? Does the same thing happen with books, movies, TV? Should they have an “option”?

It is like that for me and they don’t need to have that option, that’s unrealistic to expect. You can’t choose anything in a book or movie. It just becomes something that “isn’t for me” which is fine. Not everything has to be my taste. I was simply explaining why it had nothing to do with hating ciri for some people.

Asafum,

Pretty much, yeah. Part of it is the whole “power fantasy” thing. I get, as others said, that it’s a fantasy world so how could you expect to be immersed with mutants and whatever, but that’s not the point. I don’t expect it to be a VR experience where I can’t even tell I’m not in the real world, and as others assumed no for fucks sake it has nothing to do with hating women. That’s absurd. It’s just a personal preference thing. I’m not going to write to the devs bitching or make some stupid “woke game” post, I just probably won’t play it.

Asafum,

I appreciate that. I just see it as the typical “people love to attack others online” and I have no desire to try to insult people even if they’re telling me liking chocolate over vanilla is wrong and I’m an asshole for it lol only I know myself, and I know there’s no hatred or misogyny behind my preferences.

Asafum,

https://feddit.nl/pictrs/image/b6a44cbe-d4ff-4a36-a0a2-cbb9b19c1ab9.png

Fitting… “Too many requests.”

Asafum,

If we allow art to become solely a vehicle for generating profit, we are going to lose out on so much beauty, talent, culture, and history

See: Current so-called “AAA” developers putting out absolute trash chasing trends and abusing existing IPs for nostalgia profit.

Asafum,

Every fucking game lately has a “This game woke?” post in the discussions… Then they go on a circle jerk about how having options is disgusting and dei brown people ruin everything.

They’re such gross hate filled people…

Disney Said to be Considering a Surprising Replacement for Bob Iger: EA CEO Andrew Wilson - IGN (www.ign.com) angielski

Andrew Wilson is reportedly being considered for Disney's top job. It's a big move in the entertainment world, with potential ramifications for fans of Pixar and Marvel as well as The Sims, Battlefield, and Dragon Age

Asafum,

Man it’s weird how things happen. I was literally just listening to Bo Burnhams “funny feeling” this morning and he has a line about “Robert (Bob) Igers face” and I thought hmm I actually don’t get that, I don’t know who he is. Then I open Lemmy and see this lol

Asafum,

Providing entertainment is useful value. How many thousands and thousands of years back do you need to look to finally hit a point where there is absolutely no evidence of some form of entertainment being “produced.”

Hell there are even animal bone “flutes” for making music going back to like the neanderthals or something like that.

We need to stop with this “if it doesn’t lead to making money it has no place in society” nonsense.

Edit: I think you can actually see the divergence between extracting value from games (AAA devs absolutely ruining their reputation seeking profit over entertainment) and creating entertaining games.

Asafum,

“Earlier this year, Microsoft was given a brief presentation for Squadron 42, CIG’s spin-off campaign of Star Citizen that consists of around 20 different chapters (levels) of various lengths. It’s understood that the plan for Squadron 42 is to get it out of the door as soon as possible, with directors of the company hoping the influx in cash will sustain Star Citizen’s development and help to push Squadron 42 as a multi-game series, which will see the game’s story span over several different episodes. As for when Squadron 42 will launch, I wouldn’t want to guess, but it’s understood that the game has only just made it to its “feature complete” stage, despite the claims last year.”

Nonononononono… Microsoft means gutting the game in every way possible to get it to run on the Xbox toaster edition…

As for the end of that, thankfully they gave a release window today (2026) I hope most of this isn’t true though. What they want to make is seriously impressive

Asafum,

Make a Kickstarter! Lol people fund just about anything if it looks good enough

Asafum,

I’ll be “that guy” but according to Chris Roberts (the guy who owns CIG that is making the game) star citizen is supposed to be a “space life” game. It’s not an “arcade game” where there is a specific game type it is built around. You’re supposed to just be a dude/dudette living your life out in space and do what you want which can include all the things you mentioned. I personally want that very much. There are a million games out there that do the basic space pew pew thing or mining, but nothing like a life sim.

There’s going to be more than just hunger and dehydration, they built toilets and showers into some ships for a specific reason not just atheistics lol

Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda DLCs of all time angielski

Starfield steam page for the DLC currently shows eight user review score of 41%, making this one of the worst Bethesda DLC’s released of all time. This is so horribly, shockingly bad for Bethesda, because it shows as a gaming company, they are no longer capable of delivering a really good gaming experience as they had in the...

Asafum,

I’ve given up on every major developer/publisher, so-called AAA garbage, except for capcom for monster hunter and square enix for final fantasy. I’ll be extra sad the day they too go the way of every other greedy lazy “AAA” game company…

At least indie devs care to make a good game and not try to make a money printing IP machine with some game like aspects in it.

Asafum,

Mierdas touch

Asafum,

I feel like monster hunter is kinda hard to mess up, unless they suddenly decided to make it turn based with micro transactions for extra turns or something lol

The “story” is: omg big monster messing up the ecosystem, go fight! So it’s really all down to gameplay lol

Asafum,

I’m not a purist lol I enjoyed the hell out of FF16. I think 8 and 13 were the only ones I didn’t really care for

Asafum,

They’re just referring to normal habits we all do like checking your oven for the family of mice you let live there before leaving for work or brushing your teeth one tooth at a time while watching the Flintstones in a language you don’t understand. We all do it.

PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off (www.ign.com) angielski

Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now…...

Asafum,

you could have undiagnosed adhd which when untreated for a lifetime manifests as anxiety and depression.

I see all the adhd memes and comments that usually makes me feel like “hmm maybe I do have this” but I also see a bunch of people saying “we all think that even if we don’t have it” lol thanks again for the concern!
