Can’t agree with this. I got dozens of hours out of Portal 2, simply from replaying it so many times (which is an amazing feat in of itself because I never finish games).

Meanwhile I was bored of Stardew Valley after two hours of wandering around and not being able to find anything to do. From what I’ve gathered, the game expects you to figure out how play it on your own. I’m in my late 30s and I have bills to pay. I don’t have the time nor the patience for a game like that anymore.

Edit: Point I forgot to make is that I feel like for a game to be considered the highest rated among them all, it should have universal appeal. But that’s just my 2¢.


Okay lol maybe I want them for other games too.

Six face buttons, two joysticks, a D-Pad, a touchpad, four triggers (two being analog with a click at the end of the range), four paddles (like the Steam controller), HD rumble. That’s what I want in a controller. Nothing less. Such a controller does not seem to exist.


But I don’t want a fight stick. I want a single controller that can do it all.


Not quite what I’m looking for (but thanks). I should probably mention that I also need dual joysticks, quad triggers, quad paddles, a touchpad, and a D-Pad. Basically everything you can get on both a Steam controller and an XBOX controller, except with two extra face buttons.


I also want six face buttons for fighting games. Somebody, please release a controller like this already. I haven’t seen one since the Sega Saturn.


Took long enough. People are so god damn stubborn.

Windows 11 is an annoying experience out of the box, yes; like Linux, you have to do some tweaking to get it functioning the way you like it (start with installing StartAllBack to fix the Start Menu + taskbar issues, and O&O Shut Up 10 to stop the ads and telemetey) but if you’re big into HDR like me then there is no OS better than Win11 for a quality HDR experience that just works.

But if you’re not into HDR, don’t play games with kernel-level anticheat, and don’t have expensive DJ equipment that is only compatible with Windows and MacOS, then there is no reason to continue using Windows. Linux is a much better option for you.


So basically they’re trying to do what Trip Hawkins did with the 3DO in 1993. In order for that to work, you’re going to have to convince people to pay PC hardware prices first. Two issues:

  1. Third party manufacturers aren’t going to sell at a loss,

  2. Sony will continue to sell their consoles at a loss, which means everyone will just buy their consoles instead.


Well too fucking bad, cause Halo is the only thing they’re good at. They should have sucked it up and kept iterating on Halo 3. That game was peak Xbox.



5ft is close for a 65" screen. Most people sit about 8-10ft away from a screen that size. And to be clear, I’m referring to distance from my eyeballs. The foot of the recliner is about 2ft away.



IDK but Ship of Harkinian has been around for years, and Nintendo has left that one alone too. This MK64 port is being developed by the same team (HarbourMasters).


As someone who uses a 65" LG OLED as my primary monitor and sits 5ft away, the FoV can never be high enough in nearly every game.


Nope. Ship of Harkinian and 2 Ship 2 Harkinian have been around for years with no issues from Nintendo, and this port is being developed by HarbourMasters, the same people behind those ports. It’s not going anywhere anytime soon.


PC gamers: Look what Nintendo needs to mimic a fraction of our power.


lol sarcasm aside, it actually can’t. This port is being developed by HarbourMasters, the same people behind Ship of Harkinian and 2 Ship 2 Harkinian (PC ports of OoT and Majora’s Mask, for the unaware.)



The gameplay is boring and the story is confusing; don’t bother unless you just want some eye candy to show off what your 4090/5090 can do. The game is a heavily polished turd.


Can anyone recommend a good multiplayer shooter with a high player population? (Either 2D or VR is fine.) Or any non-MMO, non-role-playing PvP game that is mostly online and has populated servers? Something my 37-year-old ass can just jump into and play a quick match without having to dedicate my life to it?

Getting sick of all the PUBGs, Counter-Strikes, Call of Duties, and Overwatches/Marvel Rivalses. My best gaming memories were during the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 days. I never had more fun in a shooter than when I was playing Rush. But unfortunately EA never managed to recapture that same magic in the sequels. After the 2042 flop I quit Battlefield for good.



Because Borderlands is boring and repetitive, especially if you don’t have a friend group to play with.


You don’t play games or watch movies on your PC? Not even YouTube?


You seriously don’t know what HDR is? Really? Then we have nothing further to discuss.


If you don’t have a motherboard with a TPM in it by now, then you’re way overdue for an upgrade anyway.


They’re right though. 8.1 had the best of both 7 and 10, with none of the bloat. Only reason why I stopped using it was because I was forced to because literally no one supported it. Which is a damn shame cause it was considerably better than 7. Just got a bad rep because of 8.0.


Windows 11 is great with some tweaks and has by-far the best HDR implementation of any OS, bar none. I’m getting so sick and tired of people who don’t even use it hating on it constantly. Y’all have done this with every new Windows release except 7 and 98SE. Win11 is a great companion to Arch. Get over yourselves already.


Good god they’re such fucking losers.

Are you trying to make everyone hate you, Nintendo? Give it up already.


I don’t understand this game. It just looks like shitty video poker with joker cards involved for some reason. Why are there so many joker cards?


China exclusive models, labeled as such to get around regulations.


You’re forgetting about the #1 reason why Ray Tracing is so good: it saves hard drive space because you don’t need to pre-bake lighting, when it’s rendered in realtime. You should be a fan for that reason alone. Games have gotten too large.



Fallout: London is so good, I can’t believe that it’s a free mod. It feels like a standalone Fallout title. Can’t believe they convinced all those amazing voice actors to work for free. The level of detail put into the game world is beyond impressive as well.


Yeah seriously, no matter how much they tack on, it still doesn’t make the base game fun to play. Nothing more boring than a game that feels like a job.


That’s the one thing that frustrates me the most about these games, too. Minutes fly by like seconds, but the Sims move in realtime! There’s never enough time to actually do anything in the game! So I keep my Sims unemployed and just cheat.

Been playing The Sims since 2001; in all those years I have never seen anyone release a timescale mod for any of the games. So when do play, most of my time is spent in Build/Buy mode.


I want to enjoy this game but I just can not wrap my head around all the heroes and their abilities. There’s way too many of them.

Which is odd, because I didn’t have much issue figuring out Overwatch during the open beta back in 2016. Am I just getting old in my 30s, or is Marvel Heroes legitimately more complex than OW was back then?


I know. I commented before finishing your comment and immediately deleted it, but it didn’t actually delete. Happens to me all the time on Lemmy.

My bad; please ignore that comment.


My solution is to simply sit closer. I only need 125% scaling.

If that’s not an option for you, you can always hit WinKey++ for the hard-to-read parts. There’s also Ctrl++ for browsers.
