You would certainly not be happy with my gaming setup. I have an apple Membrane keyboard because I’ve played way too long on old laptops and I got so used to them that I don’t like any others. Then I have a 10+ year old mouse that’s just perfect for my hands, I don’t get cramps.

And than I have a MacBook Air that is connected to the PC via Ethernet and steam link streams the game.

Don’t forget to upgrade the bow…

Don’t.

Forget.

The bow.

My girl almost never plays games. I bought her the ps5 with Hogwarts Legacy. She did like the atmosphere and such, but the story felt very rushed towards the end, the ending was unsatisfying, the world started off cool but got a choreful minefield afterwards.

I only played the tutorial.

Go-to #1 is definitely the r/piracy megathread. My personal #2 is a 2gb/s external SSD and a dedicated exe-downloading laptop.

Piracy is the first thing that comes to my mind when a game is georestriced or the performance is lowered due to copy protection stuff. I don’t even feel bad about it. The company wouldn’t have made any money from me whatsoever.

I liked it. It’s like every kid can finish the game, but there are things that are only doable by pros.

Kirby did this since like forever and it is perfect. No difficulty slide or damage sponges, just deeper understanding of mechanics.

I wish more games did this.

Which is weird, because I totally spent like 40 hours in there lol

Same happened to me with Zelda: ToTK. I did everything I came across, collected a lot of things I found, did a lot of questing, got so good in combat I could defeat everything without getting hit, but then I was like “it’s time to stop now” and I defeated the final boss and put the game down. It was amazing.

Dude my GPU is so hard for Witcher 4 the fans started to hum “the bad touch” ever since the trailer ran!

Not one bit. Sackboy is a 2d platformer, AstroBot is 3d. It feels like a Super Mario Galaxy 3 - better than 2 in every way. If AstroBot would have a wall jump and triple jump it totally would be a super Mario Galaxy 3.

I just bought it used for $45. Started 5 hours ago, now time to sleep, then play again.

It is a better super Mario game. The difficulty is a bit higher I think, there’s some platforming where I thought like “ain’t no way some of my friends would get this first try”

I love it,

I’ve always known about kickstarter but never did something with it.

I only ever funded one thing this October; that thing was the GC Ultimate Controller.

I get regular updates, shipment will be around februaty.

I played it in the beginning. It felt like what you paid for: a free monster hunter wannabe game. Not bad if you expected nothing from it, pretty bad if you expected a full fleshed out monster hunter experience.

Literally the first thing I googled when I played Gwent was “gwent card game starter kit” lol

Pro tip:

A 50:50 mixture of Isopropyl Alcohol and destilled water burns extremely cold.

Soaking a wooden sword in it and lighting it would result in a wooden sword with fire enchantment. It would not burn the wood itself. You can even soak a cloak in it - it does not harm the cloak one bit!

Edit: this is for all those, who wanted a burning wooden sword in Minecraft. I know I wanted one.

Edit2: better explanation.

I got a vita last year from a friend (he played it like a week when it was new) and I just love it! The buttons feel extremely nice and it in itself feels extremely premium and responsive

It seems you don’t know, but we don’t talk about that

Currently on sale on GOG for € 0.89 - got it

https://www.gog.com/en/game/her_story

They could just release it today with added L/R 2+3 buttons and, even without a game card slot and only an SD slot, it would just fly off the shelves.

I‘ll tell you my boy. Back on the PS3, when Nuke Town Noob-Tubers were real - it was right after we lost the 25 kill streak nuke, which was an instant win - it was the last time I remember not being able to run on walls, have a jetpack. Back then you had to play to unlock new skins and weapons. That one level 37 dude running around with the low level weapon in gold? He was to fear. His K/D was about 12. but all changed when lootboxes appeared. We got colorful skins, not representing the sheer dedication and skill one had to have to unlock it, only showing the money the player spent in order to archieve it.

It reads like it would be a game similar to “A normal lost phone” and "another lost phone“ - two of the best phone puzzle games I‘ve played.

I might give Her Story a try

After 22 years and having finally played Kingdom Hearts, I can say that it feels like faster, less technical version of that.

In FF7 you just mash square (was it square?) against bosses and doge mid-attack, the ATB fills up while waiting and guarding, while in KH you have to wait for openings because the boss throws like 5 combos at you and gives you enough time to hit it with 4 hits and magic, which only fills up after being completely drained.

Edit: (Probably biased opinion because I finished all 13 Kingdom Hearts games for the first time over the past 8 weeks)

The problem is that most people are lazy. They don’t download an alternate App Store, because of security reasons, and, with all the “improvements to security” it’s getting harder to download one in the first place.

I support this.

My gaming PC is not suitable for Windows11. I don’t play much, but I do play.

I switch to Pop!_OS in June, did not like it that much but it got the job done.

I’ve been using SteamOS on this machine since mid September and honestly I don’t ever want to go back.

You can not win against Nintendo.

Kids don’t want it because of the games and adults don’t want it because there’s better alternatives.

Clickbait. Dude bought a $5 used game disc and couldn’t play it because the PS5 Pro doesn’t have a disc drive.

I’ve just read it quick.

This brings so many new things that this could have been a standalone game, but they decided to make it a DLC. Now everyone is upset that it’s an expensive DLC.

It’s like a $60 Mario Kart shipping with 16 race tracks and then they sell 16 new race tracks for $30 instead of releasing a new game on the same console with only the new courses.

So… like they said with the switch “this will not kill the 3DS”

And it did kill the 3DS

But… but… It deserves a full remake like the one FF7 got =( I want to really feel the opera

Sooo…. Just Like in the PSX Original at this point in the story?

It’s still in the top 20 most sold games last month - ever since it released. It‘s almost as if it is a good game.

don‘t use it is waaay easier said then done. It’s not the first time you’ll need it, not the second time, but there will be this one passage in the game, could even be the final boss on your first try, where there happens to be a mechanic at phase 6 you don’t quite survive. The game then loads in before the first phase of the boss. And because the boss was hard to get there, you rewind for the first time. Then you get hit, and you rewind again.

The first one is hard to use, but it gets easier.

And easier…

And easier…

Long story short:

Nintendo sold about 4-5x the amount of Kirby, Pikmin, Metroid and Xenoblade games on Switch than they did on WiiU and 3DS combined.

Input of a Xeno-series fan: duh. WiiU didn’t sell well and despite Xenoblade Chronicles X (pronounced cross, same name as the main character) being good, it was no system seller. And Xenoblade Chronicles 3D didn’t sell well either, being one of only 11 New3DS games.

Edit: the Kirby games on the 3DS were great! With Planet Robobot one of the best Kirby games ever.

TBH if your game gets pirated it’s a service problem.

What happened to the piped bot? :(

Philips Ambilight 55PUS8109 4K LED Smart TV

Runs on TitanOS

Upvote because it made me angry.

I’ve come to the point where at least some people come to me for advice on buying electronics.

Girl friend asked me for a TV to connect with her PlayStation, not that expensive, 4K/60 and low input delay for casual gaming, and it should last for at least 10 years and should be cheap. Long story short, I got her a 4K/60fps TV with a gaming mode that has like 2~3ms delay for € 550. It‘s a dumb Philips TV running Linux, so no google play and you can remove all spyware. It has apps, but she got the PS to do all of this anyway.

Wait they charge 60 $ for dragon quest 3???

I played the Orginal on NES (rom) and it was a grindfest, so basically 90% of the play time is grinding….

Dragon Quest 8 - The Journey of the Cursed King

I‘m finally doing the fists only run I wanted to do 15 years ago! I even named the Hero "meFisto“

To be fair, the PS5 was the worst investment I made last year. I did never buy a PS4, I own PSX, 2 and 3 tho.
