Expedition 33, the gem, made me think of this. There is no specific order, but my top 10 is as followed. 1. OG Aerith - the unexpectedness of it. Her kind heart and wonderful personality. And to be taken away like that. 2. Noctis - He grew on me during my 167 hours with FFXV. Him and his bros were inseperable. That final campfire hurt. 3. Lee Everett - Everything he did for Clem and then he goes out like that. He was a boss. 4. Dom - Marcus's bro. Seeing how pitiful he became in GoW 3. Death was a relief. 5. Ghost and Roach - WTF Shepard... 6. Gustave - I fell in love with his relatability. He was just this normal dude doing an inhuman task and he did it well. Made great bonds. Badass arm. And then... gone. 7. Zack Fair - The opposite of emo Cloud. This dude loved life and he sacrificed his to save his buddy. 8. Galuf - Went out like a Chad to Exdeath. 9. The Virmire sacrifice - regardless of whether it was Ashley or Kaiden, the fact that they were gone for good because of your choice hurt like hell. 10. Crono - Talk about a plot twist.

Excluded is the one month of IGN+ or whatever. This one actually seems kinda decent, if not for the fact I have no interest in the System Shock remake.

I created it! You can find it [here](http://steamcommunity.com/groups/lemmygaming). Looking forward to seeing folks online!

Inb4 - Yes I know it's a me problem. I'm not the target demo. I've just been a fan of the franchise since I read The Sin War as a kid. I'll play through a Diablo once. As a necromancer. Exclusively as a necromancer. Everyone I know is a gatcha addict. All they care about is ever growing numbers. Bigger damage. Filling paragon boards. Torment levels. I just wanna play through the story content. Once.

I use lutris and steam. --- I'm thinking about making a game launcher in LISP that uses YAML files to manage games.

NDAs and contracts keep most artist's work uncredited and locked away, forever. This is an article by Aftermath, a website you might have seen recently here on Lemmy.

After this year's TI, Dota 2 is now the game with the fifth-most simultaneous viewers. Have in mind, that League of Legends and Mobile Legends haven't had their biggest tournaments yet.

But The Mirror, while still Alpha, was lots of fun to try out and works just fine on Linux out of the box for me on Debian using the Itch Flatpak.

Take-two Interactive hints that long-anticipated GTA 6 could release in 2024.

Astro Bot is an incredible experience from the moment you open the box. Or download it, if you went that direction. It's a joyful experience that is both a celebration of PlayStation and gaming in general. It's characters from dozens of franchises, bright and cheerful music, gorgeous art style and graphics, and excellent platforming make this truly one of the best video games I've ever played.

Inspired by a discussion I had elsewhere and the article "[Women in Games swaps male and female voices to highlight harassment in gaming](https://www.campaignasia.com/article/women-in-games-swaps-male-and-female-voices-to-highlight-harassment-in-gaming/482231)", how about we start a voice modulation challenge where you have to play at least one online game with a voice modulator to sound like a girl? I'm curious what the experiences would be like.

I have to hope this is a joke.

I have a question about... Gaming on Mac. I know, I know. It's for my wife, though. Lol! She has a _very_ old Windows laptop that I cannot convince her to let me put Linux on to improve its life. I'm looking to source an upgrade for her. She is an iPhone person, through and through, and I thought it might be nice to get something for her in that ecosystem. So, I'm looking into a MacBook of some sort. The question: how does a MacBook hold up to light gaming? We're talking Sims 4 and Minecraft, primarily.

I've long been a fan of text adventures (aka interactive fiction) so when I saw that Aaron A. Reed was Kickstarting a book covering 50 years of it, I immediately became a backer. For each year, he selects one text adventure that encapsulates what the state of the genre was like for that year. Well, he's recently released it to his backers in electronic form and has set up a website where everyone can find links to each of the games he covers so they play, download, or buy the game in question. It's definitely worth a look. [50 Years of Text Games Portal](https://if50.textories.com/portal/)

I beat Moon Lord with a friend of mine, I was running a spectre mage setup, while he was playing summoner! Terraria is really good, this was one of the best multiplayer gaming experiences I had.
