Supposedly, taking part in the Marvel Rivals playtest requires an NDA with a non-disparagement clause - featuring examples!

Tag yourself - I'm "Hulk got no ass"

IMHO the way to avoid "Hulk got no ass" is to give Hulk an ass

Is that too many pixels or something? I'm not a game designer

Steam Deckでちょこちょこやってた「Alba: A Wildlife Adventure」クリア。
自然豊かな美しい島で、島の美化活動や生態系調査(もとい動物たちを写真に収めてスキャン)をしながら、ホテル建設に抗うために署名を集める作品。
ゆるいグラだけど、聞こえてくる動物たちの鳴き声、特に鳥たちの声がとてもよくて、ちょっと手を止めて景色を眺めつつ、動物たちの声に聞き入るのがとても楽しい。癒される〜。
なお、本作品1ダウンロードにつき1本木を植える活動をされてるそうです。

@gamingonlinux so they want to use ai for content, load it with ads, and want it to be live service? I think I’m done even looking up ea games

@gamingonlinux Reject AAA, embrace indie and libre games (And piracy)

While it started as a joke I am actually considering to start a gaming blog for gamers over 30 who cannot avoid life.

Review criteria will be

  • does the game remind me of the controls?
  • can I get a summary what happened and what I’m supposed to do?
  • can I pick it up for 30-60 minutes and have fun?

Weekly summary of all posts will be sent on Friday evening.

It’s far from a fully thought out concept, but I like the idea and think this is a niche not well served. #gaming

@frank I agree that they are often a bit conservative.

Personally I think I’d have a hard time making a good recommendation, especially for an international audience.

Would a few screenshots, one or two quotes and a summary be helpful? „These are the outfits of the main protagonist (if they show some skin), a character sometimes uses the F word and there’s a demon in the game“

@fallenhitokiri yeah that would be helpful. There is a big difference between realistic blood and gore that almost made ME throw up and “there is some 8-bit Minecraft blood when you head shot a character”

2024 game backlog, no. 16 - Tekken 5 (PS2)

One of the PS2's greatest fighters. Hefty, robust gameplay, with a massive roster and a fun story. Bonus Devil Within game is a load of toss though, and the final boss is the franchise's cheatiest yet.

For me: TTT > T3 > T5, still T5 was incredibly strong at release.

T5 actually had new characters that were really fun, whereas 4 was kind of a miss for me, and most other Tekken fans. Both Raven and Feng pictured on the cover felt like fresh air with fun and different play styles compared to the core roster.

@euphoriagremlin@retro.pizza avatar

@flipflap

I can understand why 4 was a miss for fans, especially at the time - I actually wrote about my experiences with it a few weeks ago!

Tag I have a ton of nostalgia and love for, although over time I've come to prefer fighting games with some narrative weight to them as well as being mechanically strong

Finally finished Dust: An Elysian Tail. Took me an eternity and a half to finish it, but I savored every moment of it like a fine wine. This will probably go down as one of my all time fave Metroidvanias to play!

Decided to start a replay of Tomb Raider. Crazy to think the rebooted version is already 11 years old.

When I played this the first time around, I thought this scene looked incredible! And although some of the graphics in this game still stand up well today, it’s definitely showing its age!

Scene from Tomb Raider showing Lara Croft standing up whilst bloodied and injured, and looking over a cliffside to a ship and plane wrecks along a rocky shoreline.

Rolling credits on my replay of Tomb Raider. Now I can move on to Shadow of the Tomb Raider!

Oh wait, I need to play Rise of the Tomb Raider first! 😅

I did the #daily #CavesOfQud build. Died horribly (this is the way) quite proud of what I achieved though. It was a fun break from reality. exploring a procedurally generated high tech-low-life fantasy swamp. Love me a good chrome revolver and salve injector.

@jake4480 Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead it's a zombie survival rogue like. Free to play. Expiremental if you like living life in the fast lane, stable if you want to make sure nothing breaks...

@oceaniceternity oh wow that sounds awesome! Gonna try for sure haha. I'm a roguelike addict really. I put a list of a lot of the ones I like under the 'games' section at https://oldtimeywebportal.neocities.org

Finally finished Portal Reloaded! Almost thought someone was cooking bacon tonight until I realized it was just my brain on the last chamber.

11/10 would recommend!

finally got around starting that Mass Effect Legendary Edition I got ages ago and it's... humm... a pretty clunky game? It feels cumbersome and slow and the story takes ages so far and I don't see it getting that much better soon.

@kyonshi@dice.camp avatar

worse, I am 4 hours in and the only thing I can think of to describe the characters is: "I don't care what happens to these people".

Also diese beiden Roboter sind doch irgendeine Anspielung🙂

What do you think of the Songs of Conquest game? Have you tried it yet, or are you holding your breath until the official release?

hellvolution,
@hellvolution@qoto.org avatar

@darth I have it; there are 2 or 3 missions across the 3 campaigns available that are super difficult (and/or long)! The game is amazing!!!

darth,
@darth@silversword.online avatar

@hellvolution I played the first mission a year ago but I’m still holding my breath 😂 because I think it’s great! Maybe I should start playing now.

Does Proton for games on Linux work without using Steam? 🤔

I know vaguely of stuff like Lutris, so I'm still wondering how gaming on Linux looks if you're not completely bought into Valve's pseudo-monopoly. That should be in line with Linux thinking, right?

If it does, hell yeah. Then the other trick might be controller stuff outside of Steam, but one step at a time.

gmr_leon,
@gmr_leon@mstdn.social avatar

@averyminya ? I appreciate the advice, however I'm confused what may have suggested an inclination toward Epic

I lean towards smaller Valve/Steam competitors for commercial games when possible, like Itch or GOG. Primarily for their games being DRM free

averyminya,
@averyminya@mastodon.social avatar

@gmr_leon Phew! Not suggesting that you specifically were, but there have been many times where Lutris + getting away from Steam tend to result in the "Thank Goodness for Tiny Underdog Epic".

Every once in a while I forget that Lutris supports more than just EA/UBI/Epic because of it. No harm meant!
