I like the concept but folding screens add to much expense. at leas for now.

was thinking of adding champions online and star trek online but it does not really fit their categories. I always felt they were nice because they were the opposite of l33t first person shooter type things with options to follow someone so that if you have a partner, auto targetting, and decent scripting support. Like in champs you can make a key to make block a toggle and star trek was well know for smashing the spacebar where you setup your abilities to be triggered by spacebar so it would run through them as you pressed it so pressing it like crazy was a thing. Timing was needed for content but not everyone in the group had to have super perfect timing.

geez if I had known this I might have been inclined to check those out. thats a pretty huge feature for me. so useful for trouble shooting. gonna check the lenovo tab extreme. EDITED - doh seems to be a software thing so even if it was available not what I thought. I took the OP’s thing to be such it could even see like the bios of a host. Like an external display in every way.

it might just be an mbin thing but I thought it was fediverse but I have a little bullhorn icon I can click to get that. it also has a mute.

just fyi to folks the word agile here is in a business context like pivot or out of the box thinking and not agile methodology.

still have not seen anything that looks as good as champions and star trek online for me. Im partial to massive customization of looks and build along with super immersive environments with day night cycles and nps and such that you can hang around and be just awed by how the landscape, floura, fauna, and npcs interact.

definitely dremor and close second is shitpostpolice. oh boy my lips are so tired.

Travel I get more. The scenary can be cool. That being said I like the overland to be mostly optional (I mean I get having to unlock as you progress). I do have my own oddities. I usually like to play magic user type characters so I would always preference moving by mage guild or church over beast transports even over using a more efficient method so I get people having their own things they find fun. It was always in my head like. Im gonna teleport because I have magic. I don’t ride horses. Neverwinter online had a neat mount system were you could have like magical disks and such as alternatives. I did not like that game overall though :)

I mean some mmo’s do the collection thing although I find a lot of that is do to more and more stuff every year making it a necessity. I see what you mean. Games need to be out there for everyone but man I was never like. Oh man I love how much I have to manage my inventory in this game.

Its not casual enough to me. I hate inventory management and prefer to get to the game. I like a collection system were once you have it you can always destroy it and re-recall any time you want. Its fine if you have to go home or stuff with it. For perm things anyway. For consumables I like the way elden ring did it where you unlock a capacity and then choose how to dole it out again in a collection way in that once you have unlocked a potion its an option.

this concept seemed great at first but it is aweful dangerous and copy and paste is pretty easy.

lol. I only recently finished the maine game. Im good for a few years.

honestly just any chain that sells lets say all the components necessary to build your own rig and like soldering stuff. Like everything computer and electronics related one could think of. I don’t really care about tvs or appliances but definately want laptops and monitors.

I mean. I feel like best buy is not a competitor. I mean things like frys. Places you could get motherboards and such.

does microcenter have any competition at this point?

I liked it and thought it was fun. Funny that dark arts has no real downside though.

you know its not like it will hurt to try. thanks for the feedback.

hey sorry I have another question. Im curious about self-hosted with a chat program. Do you run it 24x7? One of the things with self hosted as far as mbin/lemmy/mastadon is if the instance is down it won’t be available so running it from a laptop lets say were it is on and off would seem problematic (maybe its not and I am making it an issue in my head). Chat feels like it might work but im wondering about if someone sends you a message while the host is down. will it be able to get the message when the host is back up the next day? if you know given you may be running yours 24x7.

thanks. I would do element X but its seems to be phone only. Ill give element a try.

What cracks me up is I prefer pve. I like cooperative play but not really competitive play in games. It always seemed to me the pvp community had so many people looking to get an advantage or were ok with cheating. Funny thing is it does not even matter if you cheat in pve as its just your own gameplay. I mean like in doom I would do the full map cheat when I got to the exit to go back and get everything but I did not want it till I got through the level. I mean its still cheating but there is a reason I did not use the unlimited ammo or health or such codes.

did they retire some. I remember sto tried to cut it down and then every event had a currency and all sorts of other grind related ones. they quickly had more than before they sunsetted some.

any opinions on the various clients assuming linux laptop?

Your still limited in your distribution and there are tradeoffs. So you will not be able to do 20 stat checks for all stats and you will not have access to level 20 perks but its a pretty small amount of stuff. So its possible but its not like the generalist can do everything a min maxer can do in their maxed stats. Its pretty generous though so if you have the dlc you can max 3 out of 5 stats and off the two that are left you can nearly max one of those so even min maxing is really just a matter of identifying a dump stat. I like the generalist build though. I find I can do any playstyle really with 15 in each stat rather than 20 and again its just missing a level 20 checks (with the dlc one stat can even still be 20) and perks that I kinda consider to be overkill in most cases.

I was like. Hey I recognize this one. You sorta missed out as the game mechanics were massively changed. In the old version I could not really do a jack of all trades but in the new one I found jack of all trades works out great.

When consoles went online that was pretty much it for me. They had been cheaper and easier casual gaming thing but that kinda disapeared. The switch had something since you got the gaming on the go thing but the steamdeck is the thing for me now and I doubt I will go back as it is the only thing to bring me back to something like a console.

Its been my favorite of the last few years.

genesis shadow run. used the shadowrun rules at the time and really alllowed amazing build options for something from so long ago. that and being able to hire runners for your team was really need. only limitation was you had to be human but some people made rom hacks that let you choose race and usually included some bug fixes to.

star trek online. you could technically warp to destinations rather than fast travel but it would be hard to keep that up and ignore them. It even has a race event where the ships have to visit major planets and locations and it even allows for transwarps but because of the race nature you at best can use it for a shortcut or two to optimize the path. They used to have events with hourly rotations and just being up and watching the space map was sorta neat as you would see all these ships trying to do the race. They switched to a format where people could choose it more whenever they want though so it lost that particular community effect.

like most things three is about right. Anymore and I tend to get overloaded and any less and I tend to spin my wheels.

that meme is sorta funny. that is actually normal behavior. disney was known for going after people making no money. like literally school plays or such.

yeah my sessions were at the library. whole lot better than oregon trail.

wizmaker ruined this game for me. I never completed it fairly.

wizardry

I mean its hard to say but im pretty sure it was elden ring.

this sorta outlines the reason the idea of getting rid of capitalism completely makes no sense. The government being involved with making a gaming console? Non necessary things can be based on who has the most points or whatever.

did pcgamer learn it by reading a similar article awhile back?

for the last year or two its a tie between elden ring and cyberpunk2077. I actually just completed them for the first time in this last week.

Ive been off mmorpg’s for years now. I miss it a bit but I don’t miss the grind and stick to games I can put down and pick up whenever. I used ot play the cryptic ones which I do feel were very well donw. Well champions and star trek. I was not a big neverwinter fan.

wow. linux. I think this is the first true steamdeck competitor I have heard of since windows is a non starter.

I mean cyberpunk2077 you can by and large pause at any time and you can generally save but there are sometimes where it tells you saving is not allowed. So there are certain points in the story where you can be playing for awhile without a save but its not a super lot. Can be sorta annoying though when you get to them though. Still its not much of the game. Its been awhile but I thought harry potter allowed pausing. Don’t recall it putting me in a difficult position where I could not put it down. Technically elden ring has a hidden pause if you go into a menu in a menu. There are youtube videos on it. Its stressful as heck though as a game. If you quite you are by and large fine to but any enemy that is damage will be at full health when you get back but dead ones will stay dead. Its really not much of an issue except for bosses. I think baldurs gate 3 and starfield allow saving pretty much at any time as well and pause, again its been awhile.
