I’ve been busy travelling but somehow already reached 30+ hours playtime… and still only tried a few heroes. redacted is my fave thus far, I like how redacted is redacted.

Although I haven’t explicitly heard anything, I kind of assumed, given the years it’s been on my wishlist :D.

I’ll play it one day, but Dyson Sphere is still filling that hole for me for now.

SO many hundreds of hours spent playing the Q2 mod Action Quake. I heard they remade it and called it, uh, something like “Counter Strike”? Never got into that one, funnily enough.

Brilliant series. I enjoyed the combat and storytelling in equal measure. One of the few single-player games where I’d actually play the challenge maps, just because it was so fun beating up on mobs!

Plants Vs. Zombies!

My wife and I just sat there like… zombies… for the whole day and night until we finished it, and then went to bed surprised and happy when we got our musical reward at the end!

The Flash gaming era at it’s best.

I know a few of the devs on this title but always forget about actually playing it. I think because it’s story-heavy and I followed the development closely I feel like I’ve already played it :D.

For phone gaming may I suggest the PSP game Z.H.P: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman.

Given it’s a rogue-like there is a bit of grind to it, but it’s a short game. What makes it a great portable game is that it is action, but turn-based, so you can think through your next move, and don’t have to struggle with quick inputs on imprecise controls.

Edit: Oh, and since you like Suikoden, maybe try PSX title Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete. More story driven than combat, and the PSX version is the 2nd remake with many features added aimed at enhancing the story telling more than anything.

Factorio! That thing is never on sale…

Haha, same here! Now I’m subscribed, but not toooo disappointed I didn’t know this community existed earlier, because I’m a patient lemmy user. I’ve conquered my FOMO!

Digital nomad in Indonesia here. People are friendly, food is great, scenery is beautiful, and weather is cool but not cold this time of year. I wouldn’t live here full time, but I wouldn’t live anywhere full time (because I am a nomad!).

I don’t agree with many of the laws here but that is true of pretty much everywhere.

I’m in Indonesia. When the rebrand announcement happened I checked x.com and it was indeed blocked. But twitter.com worked fine (I mean, worked just like you’d expect a garbage dump to).

I checked a couple days later and it was the same. Now both work correctly.

If twitter.com got blocked it must have been for a very short period and at a weird time. I can’t imagine a redirect from a previously unrelated website triggering a block.

EA have their games on Steam and Origin and have for years, Blizzard could (and will) have their games on Steam and Battle.NET. I’ve seen nothing to suggested they were unable to put their games on Steam, but rather decided it wasn’t in their interest, given Steam’s TOS and/or what they could gain from having their own marketplace.

Steam is being sued by Wolfire for antitrust, but there is no outcome in this suit yet. Unless you’re referring to a different suit I don’t know about.

Even if Valve loses this lawsuit, it doesn’t meant they have to allow any specific products from other companies on Steam. It just might mean a reduction in fees, or an inability to sign exclusivity deals (which are common across the industry, weather you like them or not, and I know I don’t). The Wolfire antitrust lawsuit is because they sell other companies games on Steam, to the point that they dominate the marketplace, not because they were stopping other companies from selling games on Steam.

Valve has like five games, and the hundreds of thousands of other games on Steam are from other companies, and they’ve had 3rd-party games since 2005.

Activision/Blizzard didn’t put their games on Steam so they can push their own store, it was to not make payments to a third party, and have high visibility of their own products (e.g. advertise CoD to Diablo players and vice versa). Of course, they miss out on the visibility of being on the largest game marketplace.

Indeed! Monopolies are great. Why have five stores when you can have a one-stop-shop?

It is the capitalism that is wrong.

Hey, this is indeed the first time I’ve seen this game mentioned online! I got a free copy from work (we had distribution rights for Capcom in Australia) and enjoyed it, but haven’t thought of it since.
