Why not just cooperate with nexus mods? Their new app (yes, still a deep beta) works quite well

I mean the new one, not Vortex

I didn’t notice it going bad. What’s going on?

I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game

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,...

management / factory games like workers and resources

Maybe Frostpunk would be up your alley?

I wonder if Bud Tucker in Double Trouble would still run. Probably would need dosbox

Anyway, whole adventure genre. Syberias, Mysts, Gabriel Knight

I’ve found Shadowrun trilogy fun

Darkest Dungeon, Oxygen not Included, Surviving Mars
Citizen Sleeper is short but well done, got me hooked to finish it in a single sitting
Arcanum I still consider one of the best RPGs ever made
Fallout 1&2

I don’t know if Commandos style games would not require too fast clicking without a keyboard, but you could try out Shadow Tactics, it has active pause IIRC
Speaking of Commandos, Jagged Alliance was fun too

I'm doing the challenge of top comment on X. Go check out the post!

Do you wish that you could recycle games?

I'm not talking about physical case/disc/cartridge based games. But moreso, digital games. It would be a solution for gamers that fret about backlogs and knowing completely that they're never going to play the games that they have. That they've acquired from impulse, FOMO and other issues. May have been gifted a game that they...

Do you wish that you could recycle games?

No. The system is flawed, of course, but in the end game sells -> publishers see the genre/idea sells -> they are going to fund creating another one like that -> creators with ideas earn money
How strong we feel that publishers leech off creators is a valid point. But in the end that’s how it works right now

Maybe, if publishers and creators were getting some petty tax from each swap, that would enable recycling without killing the positive feedback for a good game. Or open another can of worms. Think what practices would result in more gains with such system in place. I’m afraid it might be churning out low value, highly hyped, hastily created games with paid reviews
Or maybe it’s a good business idea and it will revolutionize industry once someone puts up such a service

But, I think, implemented by the current big ones it would end up badly. It’s a flip of the whole business plan and they would cling to old ideas

Additionally, this idea would probably in practice look more like streaming does. A subscription to access with some “coins” for swapping. And we already see that streaming has negative effects on accessibility to older, niche movies and series

you know you’ve wasted however much money

I know that what I’m going to write doesn’t work for fighting games. But for the rest of them, wait until they are priced what you are comfortable spending based on howlongtobeat. Last night I binged on Citizen Sleeper that is on sale rn. 6hrs of good story for price of 1-2 beers. I usually don’t get back to games I’ve finished, so probably won’t be playing it ever again. But I still feel it was money well spent. And if it wasn’t that great, this price is not the amount I’d regret spending on a meh game

I did and my response to that is that it’s very probable it would turn into something dysfunctional

Think what practices would result in more gains with such system in place. I’m afraid it might be churning out low value, highly hyped, hastily created games with paid reviews

But without it, there is no positive feedback for good games

bezpieczną alternatywę dla komercyjnie dostępnych narzędzi do komunikacji i w znacznym stopniu ogranicza ich użycie przez personel

Sensowne podejście. Zamiast się bawić w kotka i myszkę jak większość organizacji

I’d expect “thinking about left” and “seeing someone go left” to be two different “waves”

What are some hidden indie gems nobody knows about?

Which indies did you discover and would love more people to know about? I’ll start: The Pale Beyond. Not sure if it’s a hidden gem tbh, but it’s such a good story rich game. I laughed, I cried and felt the characters struggles. If you like story rich games/ choices matter, check it out.

If I’m not mixing something up, they also created Overgrowth (third-person action platformer with rabbits beating up wolfs). And in order to distribute it without messing with third party services, they’ve created Humble Bundle. They sold it to some company later but for a long time it was them putting together the bundles.

It’s a little off-topic, I know

Antichamber is hidden gem or simply forgotten? I don’t know how much attention it got in its time.
It’s a puzzle platformer but I was feeling my brain bend the whole game. And at the same time I never felt like the new mechanic was explained too little or something was artificially dragged out. Very good design.

IMO it was better than Portals

The Beginner’s Guide

Definitely a gem. So meta

Maybe Satisfactory? Or Factorio?

@INeedMana@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, so survival base building is a good lead. I’m not into this genre but I’ve heard about these (in order as they came to my mind):

The difference between private and public companies is the single biggest threat to us all

Nah. One does not build a company to provide a service but to earn money. “Well-being of the company” only matters if you are sure you can sell it for more if you grow it more

INeedMana,
@INeedMana@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve found this. Personally I would not say the difference is worth having another name, maybe for the sake of differentiating between the ratios.

But it seems that indeed 4K is not 2160p 🤷

people developing this game must have been put through

I’m Out Of The Loop, could you please expand on what you refer to? You mean this?
