I remember the Vortigaunts sidestepping your shotgun blasts on Black Mesa.

When I played Half Life 1 for the first time, I almost immediately lost interest after getting to Xen. When I played Black Mesa, I almost cried when I got there. Best fan-made remake I’ve ever played!

At this moment, any teaching or glamorisation of simulated gambling automatically leads to a PEGI 18 rating," the ratings board stated

Who’s the clown now?

Coincidentally, my relative and my sibling have also just started playing Halo Reach. They were also a big fan of it when it released!

I think higher prices are only applauded when they also raise the profit margins. If someone figures out how to circumvent the tarriffs while staying competitive, everyone else is screwed.

Hey, maybe this time the script kiddies won’t be able to sabotage people’s SINGLEPLAYER GAMES!

I do agree that some of the complaints were rather overdone, such as his headset. But the giant gaming candle with its own assistant warrants the general disgust.

I personally enjoy the PLANNED testicular detonations a lot more!

If you are a fan of extremely fast-paced and frantic combat, you should try ULTRAKILL.

Damn! What a bummer. I was actually considering buying their Beyond if they introduced eye tracking to it. I’ll probably make a burner email and stick that into an Apple store if they don’t fix their rather ridiculous iPhone requirements. Thanks for sharing!

Deep Rock Galactic has, in my personal experience, the best battle pass system of them all. Every season’s pass is free, because the game costs €40 upfront, they never expire and you can switch to any other season that has ever been while maintaining progress on your current one. All of the paid cosmetics are also Steam DLC that you can buy whenever, forever. Firstly, this is great because the game never tries to pressure you to play the game by slapping a timer on any and all rewards. Secondly, by allowing players to play every single battle pass, the game now contains multiple times the content that it could ever have in one season. This way, the players can enjoy ever more content while the developers don’t need to create more of it at a fast pace. I just finished season 5: Drilling Deeper and instead of having to wait however long it takes for the developers to add more progression to the game, I just turn the knob to season 2!

I’ve never heard of “dwarf” before. Is Deep Rock Galactic part of it?

I don’t think Lemmy loads all of the comments in one go, I need to scroll all the way to see them all.

Team Fortress 2. There’s just so many different ways to play the game with its combination of classes, weapons and game modes!

If only they didn’t worry about Kerbal Space Program 2 either…

The less money in the hateful hag’s pocket, the better

9 out of 10 dentists recommend our toothpaste.

That was what surprised me the most. The storefront that claims to buy games that won’t ever break due to DRM doesn’t have a Linux launcher.

It’s a lot easier to design when the only payout are pixels on a screen.

Countries like Belgium and the Netherlands have already banned loot boxes and gacha systems

Did they really? I certainly know that the lootboxes aren’t allowed here (rip my TF2 weapon paints), but I still could spend 10 euros on Genshin Impact, even if I had to use MasterCard.

It is, but you must be invited to playtest it.

Psst! Your censors are making italics! Add a backslash to both of them to m*ke it w*rk.

It totally is, but I liked it nonetheless. It talks about games copying each others mechanics not because they make their own game better, but because the other one was successful.

You have an unusual burning flames ship :O

Great investor bait. Doubt that it will hold for long.

“I swear, I didn’t have a choice! I had to sacrifice 10 followers to the eldritch gods from beyond the stars! I needed gold!”

Robocop was a great game! It ran like shite on my ““minimum specs”” PC, but I still had a load of fun. Despite it being part of the oversaturated FPS genre, it is unique in its own way.

I couldn’t find the Mastodon instance that I use either. This list is very likely incomplete. As another Lemming replied in this thread, try to look up something from threads.net. If you can’t see anything, then your instance has probably defederated from them.

I’m glad that my instance has defederated with them. Thanks a lot @tedvdb@feddit.nl for keeping the spirit of Lemmy alive!

Rhythm game with 4 keys

It is supported, but some of the DLCs aren’t 🤦‍♀️

In the 30 min audio file they put in the article

fsck it*

I dunno buddy, the achievement said that I got the good ending. I found it sad enough already, but I have no regrets regarding this game.

Omori. Finished the game in 15 hours across 3 days. Bawled my eyes out for the next few weeks. 15/10 would recommend.

Win the race to the bottom

The only mod I used in KSP1 was the Engineer Redux(?) mod, but I uninstalled it when advanced orbital info was added to the base game. The science mode couldn’t keep me motivated after finishing the tech tree with a research lab on minmus, and the career mode eventually gets too easy and too hard at the same time. I find KSP2’s exploration mode to be a perfect balance of the two, so I’m having a blast!
