Deestan,

Took a break from Factorio (SE+K2 mod) to play some vanilla Factorio.

Oh and Against the Storm! The distilled “just the interesting bit” citybuilder with a metaprogression frame. That game can not be praised enough.

Deestan,

Going by reviews, this looks pretty good! Especially for being free.

Recommend a game for me to play with my partner angielski

My partner and I occasionally play games together, but they pretty much only play word puzzle games on their own. I’m not very good at word games though, and they don’t have very good spatial skills, so we frequently find ourselves mismatched. We have a switch and a single decent gaming pc, and a pretty old laptop....

Deestan,

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime - coop, a bit actiony but less chaotic than Overcooked. Beautiful and cute artstyle.

Deestan,

Remember to also apologize to the post office handling the return.

Deestan,

Lasting impression top 5:

Great Gianna Sisters, Last Ninja 2, Castles, Loom, Moraff’s World

Deestan,

Yeah, I’ve seen a few people wondering why the visuals were a bit dull and wondering if was the remains of The Escapist finishing them up to push them out and being lazy about it.

But it does by all accounts look like this was edited before the implosion, as they had literally zero employees left of the video team, including everyone who did video editing. The videos were all finished and uploaded to YouTube, just awaiting someone click the “publish” button.

Deestan,

Picked up The Messenger for another run. Since I got 100% achievements last time I thought it would be a breeze this time. Nope. 214 deaths so far.

Deestan,

Yes! Loved it. Made me go back and replay The Messenger. They have a few little crossovers that were fun to discover.

Deestan,

Super Mario Wonder, getting all the seeds. Not the hardest game, but good solid fun and loaded with charm.

GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour (www.forbes.com) angielski

While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

Deestan,

Ima sell my watered down soup in dollars per deciliter.

Deestan,

You could go to Twitch and see which games have the most streams.

List of 20 great Horror Adventure Games (adventuregamehotspot.com) angielski

We’ve limited ourselves to only one game per series, and of course there are many frightening adventures not included here. No list will be exhaustive, but our choices reflect a wide range of looks and styles and gameplay that will surely appeal to the fearmonger in any horror fan. If you find thrills in chills, and crave...

Deestan,

If you want a fun LP of Phantasmagoria 2, the lead actors of Phantasmagoria 1 and 2 got together recently to play it on stream. www.youtube.com/live/hw5iLuVC0w4

Deestan,

Also also, they did a Phantasmagoria 1 playthrough and Roberta Williams herself showed up in the live chat during one of the episodes!

Deestan,

Kojima, the driving force of Metal Gear is gone. What is left is a corporate committee who through focus testing and guesswork try to keep the franchise on the road roughly in the same direction it has been going and avoid crashing into stuff.

They will make any new version look and feel as much as possible as the previous games, only deviating for committee-approved reasons of monetization, trend chasing, or marketing appeal.

What they will not and can not do is to strap a rocket to the roof of Metal Gear Solid, take a hard right and drive the car off the road and into the hills and launch it over Mount Everest. They don’t have the will, the auteur ability, or the trust of the fanbase.

Kojima could do that, which is what made the franchise what it is today.

MGS is dead, but Konami owns the pelt. What comes out next is just taxidermy with animatronics.

Deestan,

I get your argument, but I’d say it makes room for a legit reason to control and identify hardware, not ban it.

Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights? angielski

I usually play games on “normal” difficulty these days, for a balanced challenge. However, I don’t particularly enjoy boss fights, or at least I don’t enjoy the extra challenge associated with them. Was thinking it would be nice if games had a separate setting so I could just set boss fights to “easy”, while not...

Deestan,

Another thing Wonder does well with difficulty is letting the yoshis be invulnerable and less complex (no form change).

Deestan,

The same board of directors who put him there are in charge. The same corporate culture that let him push these decisions is still in place. The same critical mass of people in leadership who would care enough to block such crap still don’t work there.

Deestan,

Hm, I thought it was more similar to FortressCraft Evolved, or even old Minecraft Tekkit. When I played the beta a few years ago it was roughly half of those games and nothing to really differentiate it from the rest. It’ll be interesting to see the current state, and I am hoping they found some unique twist.

Deestan,

Shout out to Dyson Sphere Program, technically impressive and gorgeous automation game with a nice sci-fi plot.

Deestan,

It’s embarrassing that huge and ongoing successful games can’t shell out to host official wikis, but instead leave it to the community to either pay out or pocket (not happening) or pick whichever crappy provider they can find willing to host it for ads.

A good wiki needs to have mosly text, a modest amount of pictures, no self-hosted video, and low computing needs. While an unpleasant expense for a private individual, it doesn’t cost a company much to host.

Deestan,

Ya, not all are the level of Fandom. The old one for Minecraft was somewhat tolerable without an ad-blocker. I don’t really feel it is fair to blame the providers either - even Fandom. They are stepping up to offer something nobody else feels like paying for.

whats your unconcious sign that you really really like the game you are playing angielski

So i just noticed that when i really like the game at some point i will at once play the game and watch the stream/youtube wideo of the game( usualy speedrun or aome hardcore challenge). I noticed it recently with anno 1800 but now that i think about it i did that with tales of arise, eu4 ,kings bounty,total war,hades and...

Deestan,

When I go back to do some part over again to try and do it better, or just do it different.

Deestan, (edited )

Cool. Can these mods also make all characters tall, blond, white and wear brown shirts and leather boots? Asking for a freund.

Deestan,

OpenTTD ( www.openttd.org ) is pretty popular and has been for a long time.

Unity issue an apology on Twitter for "confusion and angst" over the runtime fee policy. (nitter.net) angielski

We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days. Thank you for your honest and critical...

Deestan,

While we were very reasonable, we understand that you just didn’t get it, which made you sad. We understand it feels bad to be sad. To remedy this, we will try again using different words.

Deestan,

Yep, that has a better tone. There’s a limit to how good a statement you can make when at the core you really plan to do enshittification one way or another, but they could have thrown in a smidgeon of accepting blame also. E.g. “We were unable to provide clear and unambiguous answers to questions that came up” costs them nothing.

Deestan,

It’s not even getting it across. It just associates FOSS engines with assholes.

Deestan, (edited )

Never heard of it until today, but I’m hooked by the visuals and it looks interesting. Think I’ll give it a go.

Update after 1 hour: It’s good!

Deestan,

I went from “WHAT!?”, through “Ok, maybe, let’s see”, and “No. No, this is wrong.”

At the end, after hearing some other opinions and thinking about it, I’m actually looking forward to it.

Deestan, (edited )

They are popular because they were permissive and dead easy to use in… 2008 or so. Indie studios adopted Unity, many went on to great success, and it is now a product with a huge userbase, tons of tutorials, and an industry full of experienced Unity developers.

Unity is successful, entrenched, known, and makes money.

And this is the worst possible situation for a product to be in. The term is “enshittification” and basically means the owners are incentivized to sell out, while new owners are more incentivized to add new ways to extract value than to improve the product meaningfully. This is a death spiral that no products recover from.

It’ll just get worse until in several years all that is left are some patents bought by a patent troll who sues the everliving shit out of anyone still using Unity.

Anyway: Look up Godot. It’s a modern version of what Unity was when it was young and pretty.

Deestan,

“The same game we play every week, Pinky. Factorio!”

Scaling up industry in order to start a space platform in SE mod. 100 hours in.

Deestan,

If you pick it up again at some point, my recommendation would be to turn down enemies, increase resources, and just ignore most of the tech. It is there to give you flexibility, and many people’s first win had no trains, no nuclear power, low tier belts, no artillery.

Deestan,

Shadow of Mordor

And if something like 60% of Elden Ring’s difficulty is fine with you, Bloodborne.

Deestan,

Ah, oh no. I thought I played it on PC, but I have it on my PS4. Duh. Sorry.

Deestan,

Oh! Same order for me. Bloodborne first, which I managed to bull through after a lot of effort. Then later ER which I got quite stuck on and took a break from.

Deestan,

While painful, it makes sense to push cliff explosives into later game. Cliffs are completely irrelevant in the current game, as you get the tech to blow them up so soon that they don’t manage to affect your base layout.

Deestan,

Blizzard bled out and died long ago. A machine puppeteers its corpse around these days, dancing for money.

Deestan,

I lived through the grimbrown era, and I’ll happily tolerate any kind of color assaults on my senses because it reminds me the era has gone.

Deestan,

Factorio (Krastorio 2 + Space Exploration mods), and just started Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood which is blowing me away so far.

Deestan,

No reason not to, though.

Fuck clouds

Deestan,

One of my go-to games when trying rock a baby to sleep with one arm.
