Yeah that’s fair. I haven’t cared about Pokemon since the remakes of Sapphire and Ruby during which I didn’t lose a single battle. It was a cool nostalgia trip but since there was absolutely no strategy necessary I never ever wanted to go back since there’s not enough reward for the time sink; it’s just not fun imo.

Dudes be like “devs too focused on making a game pretty instead of fun” then be like “this game is too ugly and it’s making me upset”

Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland was my absolute favorite GBA game as a kid. It’s extremely linear but so well put together

I love party games like these

I just wish my friends did too :(

Looks good but if I can’t buy a Santa skin for the paddle when Christmas rolls around for $5 then I don’t want it

The Surge is way better than a sci-fi souls-like attempt that so many reviews seem to argue it is. And Shammy’s review of it really does it better justice than most reviews imo. The limb-targeting system makes it really engaging, and the sequel’s directional parry system adds the depth that Dark Souls and Elden Ring are missing. I highly recommend it for anyone tired of replaying Souls games

Lawbreakers was easily the most fun I had in a multiplayer game ever. Ok, maybe that spot is shared with Titanfall 2, but Lawbreakers is a far better competitive shooter.

I’m still holding out hope that the modding community will crack the server-side code and create a good server browser for it.

I absolutely loved the nihilistic ending to Mass Effect 3.

I know it’s a meme, but if you didn’t know already MySQL was named after the creator’s daughter My

Okay. Can you stop big-dicking people who legally develop emulators into poverty now?

Hrmmmmmmmmmmmg

Bold of you to assume the human race will survive past be Y2038 problem

COD is so interesting because there’s so many of them and so many people play them that it seems there’s always at least someone who loves each of the different games

I played every beta of the Finals that I could get accepted into. It felt like what I wanted a new Battlefield game to be. The destructible floors and bridges made it so much fun to set up traps in ways no other game made it possible.

Weirdly enough I have yet to install it since its full release. Still looks like the same amount of fun!

Ooh Dark Descent looked really cool. Would you recommend it for someone with little isometric experience, let alone real-time isometric combat?

Sea of Thieves has definitely interested me but it looks like one of those games that gets better A) if you invest a lot of time into it and B) if you have friends who play it too all the time, and I already have big time sinks in my life and I suck at convincing my friends to play specific games with me

Nothing fun at all? Not even games released in previous years? Not even games that you’ve already been playing for years?

It did look like it would be a fun COD alternative. Sad but not surprised to see Ubi gave up on it

Custom zombies maps are the beeeeest

Yup

Good Christian Americans would never go anywhere near gambling or gambling paraphernalia.

I think you might have missed that this question is sarcastic and the intent was to prompt stupid interpretations of video games. i.e. Mario Kart is communist because it only gives the lower class (losers) access to the deadliest weapon (the blue shell) in order to take out the upper class (the leader)

P.E.B.C.A.K. Marking as resolved.

It’s not F2P, and furthermore it’s not a CoD clone. But you make a good point. They should’ve retasked those employees instead of just sacking them on the spot. Fucking corpo assholes.

As is Infamous. I’m pretty sure there are plenty more but people really just focus on the ones in the photo

It sounds like it could be so cool. Asymmetrical multiplayer has so many unexplored possibilities.

BUT

Arkane had never developed a co-op game before Microsoft got their hands on them and we all saw how Redfall did. I have to remain cautiously optimistic about this

From now on

Just like they said yesterday!

Looking forward to “Backyard Ultimate Team” and all it’s associated micro transactions

I got my brother, who is not Linux-savvy, set up playing Clone Hero on his Steam Deck while I was thousands of miles away and it played with no input lag basically out of the box on SteamOS. If you’re looking for a good Guitar Hero experience on Linux with lots of custom songs, Clone Hero is for you.

If you’re looking for Guitar Hero with characters, venues, and no input lag on Linux I have nothing to suggest. :/

So if the ancestry of programming languages can be traced back like C# => C++ => C => B Then what came before B?

I named my daughter Rubyonrails

We call her “On” for short

I bought and still own a Razer Sixense Hydra. I would 100% have bought this thing had I owned a gaming PC back in 2007

If you’ve never played Super Space ________ and you’re looking for local split screen games I highly recommend it. It’s an amazing blend of competitive and cooperative design that’s always fun and chaotic. And it’s free! But it’s not on Steam since it’s a collegiate project. Link

From what I’ve heard of Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime, that’s a very similar game but I haven’t tried it.

“It’s not about PR, it’s about those teams… I have to run a sustainable business so they’re on their own because I say so.”

Despite the privacy concerns, Microsoft says that the Recall index remains local and private on-device, encrypted in a way that is linked to a particular user’s account.

Just like how Microsoft domain-bound emails were stored locally on machines running Outlook, right? Or how purchasing and downloading music, movies, and video games meant that we owned them, right?

I don’t believe for a fucking second that this “feature” will remain locally encrypted forever. Fuck Microsoft, fuck the AI bubble.

“Don’t be evil!

…

wait, you say you’ll pay me to be evil? Well fuck that changes everything!”

Sounds like the Team Fortress 2 team has been busy, but didn’t want to count to 3

That’s perfect. I don’t think there could be a better way to describe it in one sentence. It’s also a fun spin on the “like skyrim with guns” oversimplification lol

I just finished playing Horizon: Zero Dawn for the second time and it was way more engaging than I remember it being back in 2017. Apparently a lot of reviews ragged on it for “not being Breath of the Wild” which is a lame thing to complain about, even if the game came out at the same time, and they share a lot of thematic elements (like heavily focusing on archery, fighting ancient machines, exploring a beautiful world, etc.).

But it’s a very different game, very narrative heavy, very beautiful, and very well-optimized on PC. The combat is very focused and fun in a good way.

That’s not bad, but is there a digital equivalent of a horse we could use?
