I finished Kirby Triple Deluxe! It's a great Kirby game and one of the best platformers for the system. Got to 57% completion, so there would be enough to discover, but I think I'll switch to a different game now. Over half of the 30 days of 3DS challenge is now done!
I feel absolutely violated. Me and @GothicHippie are playing Monopoly on the Switch and when I left the room for a beer she bought a property from me and used my controller to accept the trade. Can I sue? #Gaming
Going forward I think I'm going to have to ditch my #Videogame podcasts that don't feature at least one host with a kid.
Listening to twenty-somethings that have almost unlimited time and basically no responsibilities is just too unrepresentative of my own experience with life that I really struggle to relate or even enjoy their output.
I've really been enjoying the @crossplayblog podcast called #SpawnPoint, but I refuse to believe that's it for Gaming Parents?
@tashasounart I used to listen to an awful lot of Jeff back in the Weekend Confirmed days (god, I'm so old) but I won't lie, I fell off the Cannata train pretty hard a few years ago and have been unable to get back on it.
@64bithero Jumping in as in buying the game? Just wait for a FreeFly-event and see how it works on your PC 😃 On pretty much all PCs it runs really bad though 🙃
There is some really cool core tech that is not properly implemented yet that will bring up performance by quite a margin.
@bloodaxe I’ve played a few fly free events. And I know my machine has a hard time haha. I enjoy it every time I go out even if it’s always from scratch and I never get very far. Hopefully the new features improve the experience
@thegamerstavern I'm bit late for this post. I got into the story of Fallout 3 and can't let it down. Actually playing it on my Steam Deck with no mods. Run well so far. I suspect that be my main game for the weekend. Have nice gaming weekend everyone!
Ubisoft kończy wsparcie dla The Crew, nie zapewnia offline patcha, a do tego wycofuje licencje wszystkim graczom, którzy kupili grę
Twórcy Escape From Tarkov wycofują jedną edycję gry, zastępując ją inną, droższą edycją, jednocześnie łamiąc obietnice zapewniania dostępu do całego contentu tym, którzy kupili poprzednią edycję
Twórcy Helldivers 2 od 6 maja będą wymagali konta PSN do grania w ich tytuł, mimo że przez pierwsze parę miesięcy nie było to w ogóle konieczne, potencjalnie odcinając dostęp do gry sporej ilości graczy
After nearly 20 years of playing the majority of my games with xbox 360 controllers (first on the 360, now on PC) I'm finally forced to admit I need an upgrade. I've had some of these controllers for so long the housings have actually worn down. They're all on their second or third set of joystick sensors too. And it's annoying keeping up with rechargable AA batteries.
So, I'm looking for recommendations! I'd prefer:
Offset joysticks (eg, xbox) over symmetrical (eg, playstation)
Good, crisp input
Wireless, good range, either bluetooth or dongle (dongle slightly preferred)
Rechargable
Large-ish (I have fairly big hands)
Must work in Linux (primarily Pop_OS)
Extra back buttons are a plus!
I do have an 8bitdo Pro 2 controller, but I find it uncomfortable, undersized, and the d-pad is spongy. Cost isn't an issue within reason; I'd rather spend $75 on a really good controller than waste a bunch of time buying/returning junk.
@remidu appreciate the suggestion! How does it compare to the 360 controller in size? I had sort of assumed Switch controllers would be a bit undersized for me, but that actually looks very close to a comfortable size for me. I'll have to check into compatibility on my end, but I have paired an off-brand Switch controller in Linux and it worked fine (except for interting the X/Y and A/B buttons, oddly).
@notthatdelta
It's about the same size, maybe a bit bigger, and lighter. Confortable in my big hands. The only downsides : the ABXY buttons are flat (I preferred them round), and ZL/ZR are simple buttons (preferred analog triggers). If it wasn't for the Switch I might have gone with a new Xbox wireless controller.
Well over 20 years ago Hasbro sold off its wildly successful games publishing division. Now they are looking to bring it back ? :hmm_cat: #gaming#hasbro
Hrm.
I've avoided Nier: Automata because of the fanbase/fanart, but I just got curious and actually looked up a short video and... it kind of looks like what I wish Bayonetta 3 had been.
Anyone have any experience with it? How open is this? Hub based? JRPG styled? Level based with larger stages?
@NaClKnight@Gwendolyn I think Gwendolyn said it very well, the fourth wall break combined with the 😏 face you can see on the devs face.
It would be annoying as hell having to wear something like that and be careful about indecent exposure all the time, so maybe trying to identify with the character, some of that annoyance transfers over. In a way, if 2B only wore underwear it would be less annoying 😂
I've been questioning myself about why I feel this way and was trying to process why despite being into gals, I wasn't a fan of fanservice. Like, sure I like what I see, but not like this, and I think you nailed it. I can't help but put myself in her place and i guess there's like a feeling of second hand violation.
I’ve been playing and enjoying games like Virtua Tennis 4 for more than a decade, and these jokers want to come along and say “we’re absolutely shutting down your SINGLE PLAYER game in two years.” #StopKillingGames
@killyourfm A friend of mine I grew up with has played Tennis games on various consoles and PCs for a long time, and also enjoys the sport in real life. Once he finds this out, he'll probably rant over beers the next time I see him lol.
#gaming perhaps an extremely obvious observation about #manamon: when next starting from scratch, try and get all my creatures up to high levels like really high levels as soon as I can. I'm walking through that path before the tunnel after the first stadium, and while my initial manamon is quite advanced now at level 20, I've still got a couple that are only at level five. I'm learning so much though. This requires skill and patience.
Oof. I managed to soft lock #DaveTheDiver in the second boss fight. 🙃 That's a bit annoying as it went really well. But even more annoying is I had some ingredients with me, I really needed. 😅
I also noticed the Mastodon instance you're using. As a big Cyberpunk/SciFi nerd myself, I'm looking to migrate to an instance that aligns more with those themes.
Could you tell me a bit more about your instance? The website seems LGBTQIA+ focused, so I was wondering if that's the primary theme, or if it's simply to show Acceptance. Don't get me wrong I fully support LGBTQIA+ rights, but I'm hoping to find a community that centers more on cyberpunk and SciFi
@73CC Cyberpunk is definitely the main theme here. LGBTQIA+ is "just" a natural part of this.
Be your own self is pretty much everything Cyberpunk wants for individuals. We're extremely against hate against others and have pretty much no tolerance for attacking anyone based on their gender, origin or religion (although religion isn't really a thing here, naturally).
But I'm just one of the Mods on our awesome team. If you want to know anything about this instance in detail you can ask the one an only @revengeday or the collective mod account @lucy, where everyone from the mod team can answer your questions. 😊
Aggiornamenti sulla questione https://octospacc.altervista.org/2024/05/01/luna-gaming/, anche se sicuramente questo non sarà l’ultimo post a riguardo: a meno che ciò che ho appena ora finito di architettare dovesse saltare per aria, già dopodomani proverò questo setup regolarmente fuori casa, sul campo, e ciò decreterà se effettivamente è una buona #soluzione per il #gaming oppure ho preso l’ennesima cantonata… 👀
Sia ieri sera in cui non l’ho detto bene riguardo il fisso, sia stasera per fare la #configurazione sul portatile (più ideale per questo caso d’uso, consuma meno e il WiFi è forse un po’ più stabile), ho dovuto copincollare dei comandi dalla documentazione di #Sunshine per far funzionare il gamepad virtuale. Una volta fatto ciò, per giochi come SuperTuxKart non c’è bisogno di fare oltre, ma per altra roba invece ho dovuto usare AntiMicroX per mappare gli input del controller ad input di tastiera. Nel mio caso, mi serve per inviare gli input ad NXController. 🪰
Quest’ultimo programmino ha qualche difetto, tipo che la sua finestra deve stare in focus per leggere gli input (io la metto nell’angolino in modo che non copra il gioco) e che la mappatura dello stick va cambiata dai tasti freccia ad altri, perché altrimenti per qualche ragione non funziona bene; però il suo lavoro lo fa, e via WiFi invia tutti gli input alla console #Switch sulla LAN. E dall’altro lato, il video della #console è trasmesso al PC tramite USB con SysDVR, ed arriva praticamente perfetto e con zero latenza… roba che importa poco, perché tanto in ogni caso io ci metto lo streaming da sopra. 🐌
Insomma, è un po’ complicato usare Switch come server di #cloudgaming, ma con il PC così correttamente configurato si può fare… e quindi in giro anziché portarmi la console grossa e pesante mi porto il #Nintendo#3DS (o, in realtà, anche solo il telefono, dipende). Da un certo punto di vista è meglio comunque questa configurazione rispetto ad eseguire giochi nativi PC perché, a parte che dovrei usare per forza il fisso in quel caso, i giochi su PC (a meno di non emulare Switch, ma a quel punto perché non usare la reale?) sono un estremo dolore da gestire quando hai sia la sfiga di usare Linux, che quella di non poterli comprare. Quindi vabbè. 🏴☠️🏴☠️
tldr: il setup da gaming più bizzarramente complessato in assoluto nell’intera galassia solare del napoli, e non sappiamo ancora se va effettivamente bene o no
@jake4480 What do you think are the most interesting innovations for medieval dungeon crawlers recently? Lots of loot options? Level generation and strategizing around it? Something else?
This week we're diving into the very earliest years of fighting games with the original - and far more obscure compared to its storied sequel - Street Fighter!
