hey

looking for a decent Windows11 PC for my soon to be 9 year old son who likes gaming...

sadly his dad, me, is a Linux fanatic that does not know much about gaming and/or its hardware requirements...

any good recommendations for a decent setup that would offer a nice gameplay (should be in Europe) ?

btw...
refurbished or second hand would be perfectly fine

Atenção, e povo que se interessa por e localização de games,

algumes de vocês já devem ter ouvido falar num movimento de tradutores de que começou no :twitter: por meio da , há alguns anos.

Profissionais do setor cobram que seus nomes sejam divulgados nos créditos quando o jogo é lançado, pois assim poderiam falar sobre seus projetos, ganhar prestígio dentro do setor. Logo, mais projetos, mais clientes.

Várias empresas que produzem games e empresas de localização de games deixaram de fora os nomes de quem integrou as equipes de localização. Isso acontece até hoje!

Uma vez, por exemplo, o nome do project manager foi citado, mas o dos tradutores não foi.

Há uma matéria antigazinha sobre o tema, mas é legal:

So & fans... I'm struggling with Octopath Traveler 2. I can handle random battles, but that combined with super disjointed stories & very restrictive party management is making the game less fun and more burdensome and/or disruptive.

I'm thinking of switching (pun intended) to Terra Memoria for a fun, cozy experience.

Anyone else struggle with OT2?

@renwillis
That was my issues with OT1 already, and many people I talked to took the same issues.

That they didn't fix it between 1 and 2 feels super strange tbh

@renwillis@mstdn.social avatar

@Rakun It’s supposed to be “better” than OT1 in these regards, but definitely not fixed!

@buru5 I think I started a character on here a while back, possibly years ago. I will have to look when I have some time

TrashBoatDaGod,

Question for any If you take a game off of your mini, will all its related data be lost too. I ask because i want to play a few RPGs on it, but i also use it to run a gaming event at my local library. I usually edit the games on the system to only include the ones that i want the patrons to play for that day. Would i lose data if i keep installing and uninstalling star ocean or something long?

Notice/reminder to that the eagerly awaited v.1.6 of drops tomorrow. It's 20% off on through March 21 (but would be worth every penny even at double the full price).

zersiax,

Ok Ok! This wallop Wednesday, we take leave of our senses ...or well ...one of them. We look at the results of Itch.io's jam 3, an initiative where people essentially hackathon a bunch of games together in a short amouunt of time. We'll be looking at this year's entries and see what innovations we encounter. Join me in an hour over at https://twitch.tv/zersiax

Collaborating with my boyfriend who recently became a gaming TikTok influencer (!) and created some funny unisex merchandise for him, American space jokes and gaming jokes relating to his America Wizard DbD character that's gone very viral over there. It's all 40% off with the code MADMANFENRIR (which is also his TikTok handle). Check it out here ☺️⬇️

Okay and , this young woman spent 10 years working on her game for EA to drop 11 games the same week and knocked her out of the top 10. If you get a chance, check her game out!

Maybe somebody out there could lend their assistance to some PC in need?

My partner and I really like hidden object games. They are a fun couple activity to do from the couch on the big screen. It's great communication pointing out something on screen without getting up and manually doing so.

The issue is that there aren't too many dedicated hidden object games. The 100 Hidden Cats / Turtles are fine in and of themselves, but they don't have the same spirit as the classics.

@PatrickoftheG Following because I also like hidden object games a lot.

Hey !
With the weekend approaching, what games will you play?!

Unfortunately I'll have so little time this weekend to play, I'll spend every little moment playing !

@EighthLayer@mstdn.games avatar

@thegamerstavern Inevitably, I’ll end up playing some Warzone. Will probably continue playing Tomb Raider Remastered or Portal Revolution on my Ally.

I'm quite annoyed by all the "you don't own the games you buy" and the counter "then piracy is legal".

What's your take on this ?

My take is the first sentence is usually pronounced by someone who clearly hasn't anything to do with developing a game, creating a world, its lore and everything around. He needs to push sales and that's it.

The second sentence is an exaggeration, as it would leave said developers without a just reward for their work.

@thegamerstavern my concerns with all of this are going through these subscription models to access games vs owning physically the game. I don't have anything again the digital copies but the business models of some companies behind of it forecasts a gloomy gaming future. In the same way you go to a library and you access classic books for "free", we also need a place where you can play classic titles for free and even take them home with you for a few days.

thegamerstavern,
@thegamerstavern@mstdn.games avatar

@greenvahn I guess it will follow the whole Netflix business model.

Raise prices until you can and then some. And it's becoming a pandemic model, too.

183231bcb,

Okay fedifriends, please give me advice on buying a game controller.

Some background: I currently play indie games with native Linux support. But I grew up with consoles, and I still think that I'd be more comfortable with a controller for some kinds of games than with a keyboard In particular, I'd like to play precision platformers with a controller. I also think a controller would be good for homebrew made for old consoles.

I have a strong preference for wired peripherals over wireless, and a strong preference for peripherals that don't require their own batteries.

When I sit down to game, I generally want to be able to start playing right away without much set-up. If a game won't launch, I might spend a few minutes adjusting drivers or settings, or I might immediately give up on that game and pick a different game.

Hence, I'd prefer if possible to find a controller that works "out of the box" with a large number of games. I don't want to spend a lot of time configuring button mappings.

So with that in mind, what controller would y'all recommend I buy?

Jain,
@Jain@blob.cat avatar

@183231bcb usually games do have proper support for xbox layout controllers so i recommend you looking into those

SuperDicq,

@183231bcb Dualshock 3. Readily available, can be had very cheap used in good condition, can be used both wirelessly and with wires, works out of the box. It's the controller that I use.
