I bought prototype couple years before COVID and played 1 and 2 and just now decided to replay it. Get This mod to make the game more stable on modern hardware, I got it going on my ultrawide monitor

I also started replaying it a few weeks ago and FUUUUUCK that mission where you have to defend the doctor (i think is name was Ragland) behind the glass, not looking forward to that one when I do the harder difficulty

I swear when people say hot take it’s not hot but maybe I just agree with hot takes XD

me and my gf both agree if we get married, it’s not gonna be diamonds but some other colorful gemstone. I mean you got all these shiny sapphires, emeralds, rubies, even stuff like turquoise is pretty but no every wants the white gemstone

Hell I’ve even seen some women’s wedding rings out of this black steel in the spiral wavy pattern, the best way I can describe is the Celtic triad/trinity but using that pattern to make a ring

Anyway point being I think diamonds are really pretty but also kind of boring compared to other colors, maybe as accent gemstone if we ignore the price because shiny

This has been a MintyFresh™️ linguistic fact

Oh sick

How’s gameplay. Is it still

Go here Do a thing Shenanigans ensue because a second ship approaches

WAIT THIS IS SEA OF THIEVES

I started playing when they introduced season passes and stuff and I have about 80 hours in the game

Man I gotta get back in

It looked fun when j watched the trailer with stuff like bullet jumping so now I gotta check it out

Yo sick

I completly forgot about this game ngl

Wait is that game out

I remember seeing a trailer for that a loooong (couple years I think) time ago

As the second person on lemmy I think I’ve heard of it but nothing really comes to mind, should ask my other buddies who are into gaming tho

I’m excited for the sequel but also nervous with the introduction of actual characters. Yea it’ll hopefully flesh out the games story and I loved playing the first one but I hope it doesn’t detract from my monkey brain thought of “shoot the guy”

Anyways I hope my ramblings make sense because my coffee is still brewing

Nice

I chimed in on the steam page and did state im a little nervous about it going from halo style to classes but over all im really excited

I skimmed the article so maybe I missed it but I’m heavily thinking we’re getting classes with abilities like the shield, extra health, and the time bubble from the trailer

I really hope we have a splitgate community here on lemmy. I would make one but I don’t have those mod skills

Man I just got the email notification right as I scrolled past this

Isn’t it just lovely 🫠

I was even looking at a quest 3 (yes lemmy ik im undoing my privacy efforts). Did I push some secret metric forward because obviously the world revolves around me ^/s

damage the kidneys

Ah thank you for resurfacing that fact I forgot. But I think you are right about the causation

Another fun fact is it also causes foot problems including ingrown toe nails

As a type 1 diabetic with a type 2 family member I want to be excited but I cannot for the life of me be suspicious, what are the talking about with the kidney. I mean maybe I’m missing something I only have diabetes idk everything about it

I liked 3s gameplay so I’m cautiously optimistic for gameplay

I didn’t like the story, it had its moments, but the cons of the story outweigh the pros of the gameplay looking at the big picture

I get that. For me modding is part of that experience and maybe it’s Stockholm syndrome but Skyrim itself is kinda fun with mods just with how many there are

I actually downgraded from Skyrim SE to oldrim in November. I started playing modded after a hiatus after the first big update whatever that was

Everything a little harder to deal with but at least I don’t have to worry about it updating

Rip in peace my mod list: from whenever I started to December

So im out of the loop on what happened her both in the game and the legal terms but im guess marvel got caught and are pulling the “whoops I didn’t mean to” card

remember when v blood bosses were in a list instead of the cool menu we have now, Pepperidge Farms remembers

Back in my day we got powers through bosses, things were better when things were worse (And yes I know these were added in the last major update)

In all seriousness I love the new spell system Also the skull projectile gem that makes it split now spawns two that go straight rather than forking which as someone who summons friends rather than finding them, this is a welcome change

For any particular reason?

Was that supposed an anti paywall link or something

Oh nice

But when I get a new computer (probably not for a good couple of years) I was gonna try to keep in mind the ports

I used to play vr on my vive but the slow loading times on the computer kinda made it slowly fall off

Plus all the games that currently have my attention are in pancake mode

I would love to play Skyrim vr but my laptop is an absolute powerhouse and doesn’t have the right ports for my vive pro and I use a family desktop that my family uses for sports simulators for VR

the desktop is pretty good but it’s a potato for vr. Capable of running if I turn the settings low enough and long load times :(

I’ve tried adapters that didn’t work and a wireless attachment requires me to open up the laptop and there’s probably no room in there cus laptop

I played Skyrim on and off (mostly off) starting about eeeh idk 4 years ago. Around November and a few months before that I got into the game again and decided to expand my mod list and go deeper into that rabbit hole. I’ve always played modded but it was pretty light stuff and nothing that required the script extender

Then they updated it and broke mods and just kept updating, so i bought oldrim and started again cus i only like to mod games that have stopped being updated for this exact reason

To prove your point I am person #2, I know things liked invidious and piped exist but I just idk haven’t gotten around to it

Oh Oh

Wait I thought overwatch 2 a story mode and that was its entire point. Tbf I haven’t been keeping up with the game

The next step is home from work, never let them leave

I second this, borderlands 3 story felt flat for me but the gameplay is so fun for me

Yeah it was really funny see really high skilled players go up against bad cheaters

The put cheaters in a cheater lobby is one of my favorites

Idr what game but they unofficially called their anti cheat circles of hell

Small cheaters like a 10% speed boost hack or something that could be countered through skill would be placed with other minor cheaters and players above their skill

Meanwhile hard cheaters like flight and aim bot were only put with other cheaters

Technic might have been it

Both are names I definitely did something with mods all I remember is the desktop app was blue tho lol

Oh that’s neat, curse forge rings a bell is that like some blue looking mod manager or client or whatever

I would consider nexus safe too I just run antivirus cus I am very paranoid lol

So I’ve ofc played Minecraft both Java and bedrock but never really got into the modding scene

However I do mod Skyrim (help me please) and to me it sounds like it’s gonna very similar to the difference of Bethesdas paid creations and running an antivirus and clicking download on nexus/mod site if you choice

I’m sure there’s going to be free ones too but that’s just my 2 cents

Planetside

Don’t worry we won’t have have to worry about subs being dominant. Oh wait you meant subscriptions

Ok but jokes aside in some cases a subscription is necessary. Probably a bad example but Netflix needs to operate servers that I can get behind if it’s reasonably priced

However games and services that offer a subscription that don’t need it, unless I REALLY like it, I think it’s plain bad

And frankly I’m kind of a hypocrite here paying for planetsides “premium” service even though they could keep the lights on without it

I kinda went off on a rant but even it only makes 10% (which to me is definitely a big number but seems smaller than it is) of sales it kind of sends a message that this a way to extract more money from people like me that go “hmm well I like the game I guess I’ll pay $120 or more a year for this yes this a sane financial decision”

TLDR: subscription bad but I’m personally using one :(

You’ve hit the nail on the head perfectly but I’d also say they’re a great time killer. I play games on my pc and switch but to me the best way I can put it is that when I don’t have those an idle game is good just because I don’t play it often and I do have to play it to progress (then hit a wall) so it’s something I don’t REALLY have to sink time in to feel like I’m moving along

I kinda went off on a rant so I’m sure some portion of my original point made it in there
