I’ve fallen into a deep gaming rut lately. What helped “get you back into” gaming and rediscover the magic of video games?

I, like many gamers, grew up playing Pokémon Red and Nintendo 64 and was obsessed with Nintendo products. I graduated to a PS2 and PS3 and became super into Metal Gear Solid and Call of Duty and Fallout. Also spent a ton of time with the Guitar Hero series. I loved the escape gaming brought me and it genuinely helped me relax....

Jinxyface,

If you’re burnt out on games, more games won’t solve that and will just make it worse

Go explore some other hobbies for a bit

Jinxyface,

If it’s what I think he’s talking about, it’s https://therarbg.com

Jinxyface,

Gamers like to say they hold companies accountable for their actions, but when you make a YouTube channel about doing it you become "toxic" and "don't even like video games" or some shit.

That is unless you're TotalBiscuit? And then it's okay for some reason and people want him to come back?

They don't really have any consistency in their morals.

Jinxyface,

I just use ffmpeg to re-encode flac files to 320kbps MP3s

for %A in (*.flac) do ffmpeg -i "%~nA.flac" -b:a 320k "%~nA.mp3"

Jinxyface,

I'm looking to grab the Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remasters pack specifically, anything past that will just be an impulse purchase

Jinxyface,

I love love love picross. I have played so much of it over random various games and browser websites lmao

Jinxyface,

For 30k monthly users some magazines that seem to be popular for most people (gaming, pcgaming) seem awfully dead

Jinxyface,

That’s a very fair point

Jinxyface,

I think that's the joke.

Jinxyface,

Imagine trying to use Reddit to buy products lmao

Jinxyface,

Assuming that people who routinely criticize these garbage companies somehow “don’t like games” is peak Reddit cope attitude.

We’ll stop complaining when they stop spitting in our faces. Thankfully I can crap all over EA and just go play Monster Hunter while doing it

Jinxyface,

I don’t think we have anything to worry about with Steam. It’s privately held, so they aren’t bound by investors or shareholders squeezing them to wring out infinite growth and ROI every quarter

Jinxyface,

Gabe passing away doesn't inherently mean anything. Gabe is very smart and I'm sure he's picked his "heir" to the Valve/Steam business very very carefully. He's had a wonderful vision of PC Gaming for the last few decades and I doubt he'd pick some bean counter just looking to wring wallets in the way every other company does.

Jinxyface,

Yeah how dare consumers expect their products to be good

Jinxyface,

Just because you're okay with 30FPS doesn't make it "fine" or "good" either. Higher FPS is objectively better. Period. That means 30FPS is bad, when the other options is 60FPS (Or higher, because the console is being DIRECTLY MARKETED to the consumers as a 60FPS-120FPS console)

Nobody was motion sick or got eye strain.

Wow, I didn't realize you could speak on behalf of everyone's personal reaction to FPS

Jinxyface,

For example, Zelda feels great. Controlling Link is tight and snappy.

As someone who is playing TotK in Yuzu at well above 60FPS, 30FPS being "playable" doesn't mean it good. Higher FPS is objectively and inarguably better. There is no argument on how a lower FPS can be better than a higher FPS when it comes to how a game feels.

TotK feels like crap at 30FPS after I've been playing it at like 120FPS

Jinxyface,

Rare /r/gaming W

Jinxyface,

I don't specifically remember if it was considered a MUD, but I spent SO MUCH time on Legend of the Green Dragon at my local library back when we didn't have a good internet connection at our home as a kid. I'm sure I played others, but would not be able to remember any of them

Jinxyface,

I usually am really skeptical when a game's marketing is about world size, because more often than not the map gets "bigger" because of more and more boring empty space between points of interest, but I trust Itsuno. Really all Dragon's Dogma needed in a sequel just expanded things like a beastiary and some additions to combat (more vocations, more equipment variety, more abilities and skills).

Man I am excited for Dragon's Dogma 2

Jinxyface,

Going from 10,000 bugs to 9,999 bugs would indeed still make it the "fewest bugs" any Bethesda game has ever had.

Jinxyface,

It is, unntil Microsoft and Sony and Nintendo buy up all the companies

Jinxyface,

"Why would this acquisition by Microsoft be bad?"

Because they've already announced to make longstanding mutli platform series exclusive to Xbox?

Jinxyface,

Starfield is not on a Sony platform, even though Bethesda has been making multiplatform games since Oblivion

Jinxyface,

Like most things, there is a cycle of "enshittification" that happens once you hit critical mass. Pokemon GO at launch was novel and fun. I genuinely ran into strangers on my walks and we'd talk about it and go to gyms together and show our collections. It was a social thing.

But like any business, at some point money has to be priority, and once you start wringing wallets for revenue, the original idea of the product falls apart and becomes shittier and shittier to extract as much wealth as you can out of people.

I fully expect to enjoy Monster Hunter Now...for a bit. Until they repeat the same process of what happened to Pokemon GO
