stevedice, do games w The Simple Act of Buying a Graphics Card Is the Defining Misery of PC Gaming in 2025

Less than a year since I upgraded from my RX580 and I only did it because I got an amazingly stupid deal on a RX7600 ($175 about 3 months after launch). Otherwise, the card is fine and is, in fact, still being used on my cousin’s PC.

That’s true but realistic lightning still wouldn’t make anywhere near the same amount of difference that the other example shows.

I mean, how much more photorealistic can you get? Regardless, the same game would look very different in 4K (real, not what consoles do) vs 1080p.

stevedice, do games w Emulating PS2 for my Steam Deck, would love any recommendations!

How’s PCSX2 performance on the Deck? I somehow get much better performance on my Ryzen 5 4500U laptop than I do on my Ally and that makes absolutely no fucking sense.

stevedice, do games w What are your favorite board games? I'm looking for games that are satisfying and lead to a sense of accomplishment or fulfillment or connection.

Arkham Horror 3rd Edition — NOT the LCG.

stevedice, (edited ) do gaming w What games did you find confusing to buy?

Fucking Hitman, man. It’s not only confusing, it’s bullshit. I had Hitman 1 and 2 and there’s a process to transfer them into Hitman 3 so that you only buy the Hitman 3 content so I tried it and… it failed. It just did. No error or anything, it just didn’t transfer shit. I tried again and it gave me an error saying I couldn’t transfer Hitman 1 and 2 more than once. Fucking Square Enix (or was it IO?).

I’m not really trying to defend anything, though

stevedice, do games w DOOM: The Dark Ages | Gameplay Sizzle | Coming May 15, 2025

You really think you did something, huh?

stevedice, do games w DOOM: The Dark Ages | Gameplay Sizzle | Coming May 15, 2025

We can agree on that.

stevedice, do games w DOOM: The Dark Ages | Gameplay Sizzle | Coming May 15, 2025

Except they’re not. Most people like them and agree that they do add to the overall enjoyment of the game. Hell, I loved that part in the DLC when you fight two of them. It’s literally just a couple of people who are mad about them. So, yeah, git gud.

Yes. Taylor Swift music is great. Don’t you think it’s about time you’ve grown out of your teen angst?

stevedice, do games w DOOM: The Dark Ages | Gameplay Sizzle | Coming May 15, 2025

Congratulations?

stevedice, do games w DOOM: The Dark Ages | Gameplay Sizzle | Coming May 15, 2025

Nope. The fact that everyone but like 4 people loves them makes them good game design.

stevedice, do games w DOOM: The Dark Ages | Gameplay Sizzle | Coming May 15, 2025

They did learn a lot from Eternal. Mainly that people loved it and people complaining about the Marauders just need to git gud.

stevedice, do games w After shutting down several popular emulators, Nintendo admits emulation is legal

Let’s preface by making clear that when I say Lemmings are disconnected from reality, I don’t mean they’re delusional. I mean they’re so immersed in their unix-like free-as-in-freedom open-source technobubble that they’ve forgotten what regular people want.

As for the rest of your comment, yes, every social media will attract its own niche of people but not every platform is equally as disconnected from the real world. For example, nobody in Fragrantica (perfume social media) would recommend a regular person to buy a perfume that smells like cocaine and magazines, even though its one of the most popular fragrances among people who like perfumes. Meanwhile, on Lemmy, people love to pretend the SteamDeck is an actual alternative to the Switch.
