Damn all the negative bullshit is a real shame. I shared the info about this ROM hack with extra veracity in my circles in response to that, and now 3 new people who love being represented by those cool flags are happily trying it out. I’ll try myself later in the week, it looks really cool. Thanks for sharing it here.

I loved it on the Wii with attached nun-chuck, having my arms both facing out feels more comfortable then in, when sitting with a controller. Now you’ll have a full set of inputs to go with it, very cool!

The first time I held a deck I was kind of amazed at how comfortable it is to hold. Bricks shouldn’t be that comfy to hold, but, it is. The ergonomics are spot on. Gotta handle the Steam Controller V2 myself before any verdict, but I have high hopes.

Same, worked with no hassle, and very comfy controller for me.

In my non English native experience, they will often set the language.

Basements add a lot of vibe, the map is larger… Phew, I can’t wait until the beta build gets mp enabled!

(Not OP) You are gonna die, a lot :). Don’t worry about that too much, you can spawn your new char in the same world, and use your built up safehouse just the same. On your second char, you already might have skillbooks (like farming 101)and skill-VHS tapes ( like woodcraft episode 3) that help you level faster waiting for you at the old safehouse. So while progression is also character based, it’s not JUST character based.

Zombies are nothing 1 on 1, but scary in groups. Instead of fighting 50 zombies at once, try and herd them into a forest or quiet part nearby, and then make the old Irish Goodbye, just sprint out of sight, take the long way back. It’ll take days for them to find their way back.

Also, it’s a sandbox. Basically every setting is changeable. Dont like something ? Change it. Good luck, have fun!

Go fork yourself, said the ‘lead developer’. And they did.

Thanks, friend 👍

I was like: Where is this in Tomb Raider?

My SO went from learning the controller with Fall Guys to Minecraft WASD. I think Fall Guys is was close to perfect, low amount of inputs, high amount of engagement.

Fantastic news! I’m so happy they felt impetus to include the less ASCII loving fellow humans in their beautiful game, I tried it a couple times earlier but with too much frustration. The vanilla steambuild changed all that, and at warp 9 as well. Wat a great game, really happy for the developers and publisher.

Maybe the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise? OG and call of pripyat might be kind of old and thus have too much jank, but 2 just came out, and it promised to bring a similar vibe, and I LOVED that vibe.

There’s also some boomer shooters that combine the Doom FPS style with a bit of roguelike, like : https://store.steampowered.com/app/1229490/ULTRAKILL/

Well if there is no physical market they can point to that facilitates reselling your license(carrier?), they will need to support that digitally. So I believe it too!

Bowtie, but also prefer them IRL over a necktie.

ooooh my! What a treat! Have fun everyone!

Second for BotW emulation, if you haven’t played that yet. I took the emulation opportunity to set max_durability of all items at 400% with a helper program. Frick that noise, hahaha.

That Mad Max game deeply discounted on steam RN, pretty cool action, in car and out, nice exploration, not BotW levels but good enough.

It’s so great, just like: where are shared albums now? Hidden deeper, ofc that doesn’t deserve its own tab, but look this activity stream is super NEW.

Man o man, I love me some zomboid. Almost everyday, when I leave for work, about 5 minutes into my journey I get the zomboid heebie-jeebies :-).

Lemmy share the beginnings of our old Cookhouse:

And I only fell 3 times while making the roof!

Ouch, my hip.

I daydream of Zomboid every week :) I just want to get out there and SURVIVE, man!

Maybe combine the loot fest with some hades difficult combat? I have similar feelings as yours, the genre is really cool but in the end, it’s all just this hidden grindfest? At least with (real) brutal combat, you still need to “make it happen”, big numbers is just the req.

<3

I thought it was one of the most intense city builders I ever played. I love the genre, and I love this style. Pretty difficult as well.

That’s far enough along to know for sure it’s not gripping you :)

Deadlock? If you need an invite (does anyone still, I genuinely don’t know?) HMU

The start is really slow, did you manage to get past the prologue for a bit? Might be just enough te keep you interested!

I had a lot of fun galavanting around in black flag, but then FU-bisoft pulled the big one on me, and did NOT cloud-backup my progress (even though cloud save is plastered all over the ui, thats only about the achievements). Then I was sad and stopped singing chanties. Maybe. Someday…

Getting familiar with mute or mute all options is the way to go. There’s always gonna be dirt throwing in matchmaking, so you have to adapt it to your liking. For me that means that if the first thing someone says in team chat or voice is a complaint or flame, they are not really worth my time or attention. They could have said hello, asked for help, but no they went straight for a basic emotional response. No thx. That has helped a lot for me in MM.

Too bad I have no idea how deadlock works so far , gonna be a lot of muting! 😅

36 Already damn… Keep on trucking sir/madame! Inspiring journaling shots :-)

Thanks a lot, I can imagine! It’s moot for me, sadly. Google maps is amazing too but I’m not on board with choices they are making so, can’t use that either. There’s enough games to take my mind of of missing this title. Have fun though!

I read some articles from 2020 that touched on the culture @ Game Science, but it doesn’t even really matter. It’s just the way they single out stuff that feels really put of touch, pretty (ignorant) boomer attitude. I’ve only heard the word “feminist propaganda” from folks who are misogynistic, it’s not something I associate with caring about inequality. Can you imagine being a woman influencer that got this message? I would think 3 times before partnering up with a party that gave me this dos and don’t list.

It’s probably something that can be attributed to cultural differences, but that doesn’t mean that much to me. You move in a culture, but you are still responsible for you actions and words.

Hahahaha, wow, what a bunch of wet noodles. If you don’t want negative discourse, maybe don’t be misogynistic. Or don’t publish your work in countries where free speech and personal freedoms are more abundant. No one is forcing you to publish here, so please keep your demands in your pants. Pffft, I was really interested in this game, now it’s such an easy pass!

Thanks, you are right! In most of the situations my friends are using it, they are laid back somewhere or docked with a controller on the couch. I have my wireless keyboard with mousepad in the living room, but they don’t 😊. It was never a big deal, but this extra info at a glance is useful for those times.

About time, I love hitting up friends through the steam friends list, but typing back from a steamdeck is more often then not, kind of a hassle. Now I know beforehand that i’m typing to someone who’s on the deck :)

Same, and same!

The PC I made before my current was my first SFF, and I had a lot of fun figuring out heat loads and what it means to build SFF. The Ryzen 7 3700x (65w) was just at the top of what my small Noctua CPU cooler could manage in the fractal node 202.

Then I got a steam deck and, holy heckers, that’s some efficient gaming. If you play docked, that would be the ultimate low power/low heat gaming device (handheld you are so close to the source of heat that it’s still hot in the summer) I think it draws 35w on peak load over time with 40w short burst max. For the whole package, incl screen! Captain Dozerman(Bill Hader) from B99 would have been proud. Efficiency, efficiency, efficiency!
