It’s my IP to sit on and do nothing with!

I started a playthrough right before they released the 1.0 update and wiped my progress (which I was aware of, and I’m not upset about). How are you liking the full release? I’m kind of excited to get an airship and be able to fly it around.

Abiotic Factor. I finally made it to the Residence Sector and am working my way through the last bit of story content now. It’s taking me a bit because I’m kinda taking my time, but also cause I’m playing solo. I’m sure I could do more to make it more smooth/faster, but I like playing at my own pace.

Other than that, I’ve been picking away at 100% Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 and a second run of DC Supervillains.

I bought it and played through the tutorial.

I haven’t touched it since. But I do think it’s a cool idea/game, as basically just a single player DnD campaign.

Damn, now I want a mod that replaces all Covenant enemies with these fascists, and replace all their voice lines with actual quotes they’ve said.

You could do Stephen Miller for the Prophets, Trump for the Elites, and maybe Alex Jones or something for the Grunts.

Instead of Mexican Joker we’ll have Mexican Chief

I never played classic Blue Shift until a couple years ago (I didn’t actually finish though, but I did get a part of the way through Xen in that one) and thought it had a little more “personal” feel to it rather than Half-Life. Like everyone has a name, and calls you Barney or Calhoun all the time and such.

The Blue Shift Remake mod for Black Mesa is really cool imo. It’s bigger, there’s been more stuff added to levels, and it kinda fleshes out Black Mesa itself as a location (you have different divisions with their uniforms and such, like Security, Research, Warehouse and Maintenance).

Or the spirit you meet who tasks you with stealing insignificant things. She was fun.

ETA: I also treat that undead crypt keeper nicely any time I see him in a playthrough. He’s always nice to me so it only seems fair.

Psychonauts 2 was probably the best sequel ever imo. I grew up playing the first game so I’m a little biased, but holy shit is that second one a masterpiece.

It’s such a fun and cozy little game, I honestly want the creators to make it into a show or something. I love all the characters and I want to see more of them!

And the soundtrack was absolutely gorgeous too.

I think the moment that got the biggest laugh from me, was shooting that kid in the face then telling his mom about it, or finding the dying care bear dude voiced by PsychicPebbles and he’s going on for almost more than five whole minutes about how close he is to dying and he sees the light and blah blah blah. Anytime you tried to leave he’d be like “wait where are you going?! You’re just gonna leave me here to die alone?!”

Those Wolfenstein games kinda rule because they’re so over the top.

And then you become Terror Billy.

Holy shit The Alters has a music video scene? Is it like in American Dad when he’s in Francine’s mind and has the other versions of him sing a song?

I’ve been wanting to play the full game for a while now, but I saw a review that said it was a surprisingly short game, so I’ve been holding off spending the $20 on it. I had a TON of fun with the demo though. Kicking barrels and crates into people, kicking people into furniture and water, all their little comments like “maybe if we don’t move, she’ll forget we’re still here” after “knocking them out.”

I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I’m sure it wasn’t long ago. I laugh pretty easily at a lot of different things, like ironic situations or bugs/glitches that look silly.

Don’t forget the thousands of mods, too. And like the other reply said about server/game world settings before you start playing, there are mods that add even more settings to tweak, or they make gameplay smoother (or harder), or they add new things like weapons and vehicles. There are even entire new maps to add to play in.

It’s very doable solo, but it’s kind of a slog if you want to do anything significant in a playthrough, plus it can get very lonely and isolating.

There’s Rock, Rock With Arms, and Big Rock Snake

I’m one of the ones who doesn’t give a shit about that. On my PC I use windows, and my phone is android.

They made Goth Mommy GF into a pokemon with “Gothita”

How many sentient clouds are also pokemon? Or that one that’s literally just a balloon?

I swear pokemon ran out of creativity by gen 3 - and I’m not even a pokemon fan.

This is the reality everyone on Lemmy, and even reddit, needs to face. We’re a minority of a minority of people. All the people who glaze and go nonstop about Linux? That’s not even half of Lemmy users, and you can find someone like that in just about every thread on Lemmy, regardless of context.

We’re such a miniscule group of people we probably wouldn’t even register on studies about social behavior.

I haven’t even heard or seen anyone mention RDR2 in at least a year.

That one guy who makes daily posts about the games he’s playing made a post like last week about him playing Undead Nightmare from the first one, but that’s it.

Getting back into Schedule 1 after a few months, it’s still fun and decently chill to just be a drug dealer for wacky cartoon drug addicts.

I have almost all the properties - all I’m missing is the docks warehouse - I have all possible customers, I’m almost done taking out the rival drug cartel in the game, and I’m still only based out of the barn. I also finally got around to hiring my first few employees so I don’t have to constantly be mixing up new shit to sell or give to my dealers. I’m excited to see what else they add to the game (it’s still in EA).

After I’m done with that, I’ll probably jump back into Abiotic Factor and try to finish the story of that one.

It’s been talked about online ever since it first came out, because people love it. I personally think it’s one of the best DLC for any game I’ve ever played.

I fucking hate living in today’s world.

You can’t even talk about different games while playing certain ones, like what bullshit is that? I really feel like corporations are policing people’s lives nowadays, what with Nintendo being shitty to everyone, CoD not letting you talk about certain other games in-game, YouTube and other social media companies censoring any goddamn word that has even the slightest negative connotations (kill, suicide, pedophile, etc.}

Like the world just feels so infantilized and people can’t actually be people anymore, like we all need to be told what to do.

And in the end, I think it could all be explained with the rise of fascism literally everywhere right now. This world and existence fuckin sucks.

Fuck yeah!

Damn, that is a hot take.

I physically can’t say that without sounding like my mouth is full of peanut butter

I mean it’s a fun concept. Dumb, but fun.

I need to read those books again.

I hate it. It’s always stupidly cringe, overly wordy, and just makes me feel dumber for having read it.

Good thing I have it on Xbox! Lol

Planetside 2, and it’s free

I should play this for Halloween. It’s such a fun little side story, and zombies are fun in different settings like the old West.

The only thing with Rust is you need to pay for your own server on top of paying for the game. I want to play it, I want to try it because I like survival crafting games; but I’ve also seen and heard all the horror stories about Rust players, so I really wouldn’t want to just jump into any server

Nope.

Best advice would be to forget it exists. There are actually thousands of other games out there that are almost exactly like Battlefield, I doubt the Next New Thing™ will be worth giving up a little bit of sanity over.

Spot fuckin on.

My response to OP was literally going to be: “don’t buy it, and try your best to focus on the literal thousands of other great games that are out there”

Damn, I was playing Fallout 3 on my brother’s Win11 PC just the other night for like, literally 7 hours.

I didn’t get a single crash. But then I did remember getting the thing for him that makes it stable, so maybe it’s just the one mod that takes all of 5-10 minutes to find it and install it.

The Lego Marvel games. If you squint, there’s almost a bit of a trilogy going on there, even though one of the games is about the MCU Avengers.

I mean the dude is/was Winnie the Pooh, so…

He’s also Kaa the snake in Jungle Book, which is kinda weird because it’s pretty much the exact same voice.

I’ve been getting back into baseball lately, and I think some sort of VR baseball game would be awesome.

I feel like baseball could translate decently well into VR, with pitching and hitting.

Ah yes, the Eldritch guides to the secrets of the Elder Scrolls universe
