I’ve recently started using the archipelago randomizer mod to get another taste of replaying it, but unfortunately the satisfaction of completing a rando pales in comparison to that first experience.

I will never not recommend this game. It’s so good and I can’t wait to see what Mobius comes up with next.

If we’re following rediquette, (if such a thing still exists or can even be applied to Lemmy) downvotes shouldn’t be used on things you disagree with.

Did he create the models for his mod or were they imported from somewhere else?

Not excusing the fact that he included them but it would be slightly more forgivable if he used somebody else’s models and didn’t realize the amount of, uh, detail.

Or does it?

Matrix has the unfortunate problem right now where all the big clients have matrix.org set as the default homeserver. Yes, it is a decentralized and federated protocol, but I wonder how many users are registered on matrix.org vs other servers.

I gave up on Below Zero around the time you’re given the blueprints for the hover bike. I just could not get invested in whatever linear narrative they were trying to push, so I put the game down and haven’t touched it since.

It feels like the devs captured lightning in a bottle with the first game but couldn’t figure out what exactly made it so popular and fun to play. It certainly didn’t do them any favours when they got rid of their composer Simon Chylinski. His score was so important at setting the tone.

Subnautica is one of my favourite games of all time and it kills me to know that we won’t get another one like it.

Virtual mission?

I should see if my folks still have my old Gamecube sitting around somewhere gathering dust.

I always wait for vote sales. People preordering upvotes are crazy

But it could be so much more. People were so hyped for Horizons when we learned we’d finally be getting space legs but it just fell so flat on release.

Those Eelis videos gives me life. I went and watched the entire About Oliver play through after seeing the highlights.

Sometimes I feel a bit silly with how much and how often I recommend this game, but it truly is something special.

I got the soundtrack on vinyl just recently and listening to it is like microdosing the game.

I was probably well into fanboy status with Windows Phone. I wanted that to succeed so badly I also owned 4 different devices.

Does it really need new graphics and music? The old art style lends itself to being nearly timeless which you can’t say for the remake, and the music in my opinion is synonymous with the entire experience and shouldn’t be touched.

This is one of my favourite games of all time, so I guess if this gets more people to play it then it may be worthwhile

In fact, treat all video game releases this way.

If people stop preordering or buying on day one regardless of the quality of the product, maybe publishers will finally take notice and start pushing games that actually function.

I’m a bit torn. On the one hand, Subnautica is one of my favourite games of all time and suffers from not being entirely replayable, so another game in the series should be a no-brainer.

On the other hand, Below Zero was a major disappointment and I’m wondering if Unknown Worlds even understand what made the first game so special.

Black Mesa is a good game with nice graphics, but it does not scratch that nostalgia itch the same way.

I definitely sobbed at the end. Andrew Prahlow deserves huge credit for his musical score, I can’t even listen to Travelers on its own without somebody cutting onions.

All the conversations at the very end of the game hit me right in the gut every time I read them.

Don’t sleep on this one. This game is a profound masterpiece and I recommend everybody play this without any story spoilers.

For those that aren’t familiar and want to know more, Outer Wilds is a first person space-based mystery and exploration game. You are given free rein to take your space ship to any planet in the solar system. There are no combat encounters and no objective markers. Your immediate goal is set by you and your own curiosity. Depending on your pace you can expect to spend about 20 hours to finish the base game, and then another 10-15 for the DLC.

The big hook that got me to play was knowing that once you have played through this game to completion for the first time, you will never again be able to experience it in the same way. I’ve been chasing that feeling by watching other people do blind playthroughs on youtube and I’ve even forced one of my friends to play it while I watched him. Sort of like Subnautica, where

Why exactly do we need an announcement for an upcoming trailer?

I think people know who Ubisoft is, Kotaku.

SimCity’s core gameplay loop was so satisfying but you could only play for a few hours before there was nothing else to do.

I loved seeing the sewer and water overlay showing globs of liquid moving through the pipes and slowly making its way to and from all the different buildings.

I seem to remember something similar a little while ago except it was like a pair of shoes or something.

Edit: It was Lil Nas X and his Satan Nikes.

I can’t get over this series’ campiness and self awareness. The trailer is perfect.
We want to kill the giant space ants and we don’t want no super serious storyline getting in the way.

AI generated photographs, or I guess AI generated images that are trying to appear photoreal are usually pretty easy to spot.

The stylized artistic ones are often really hard because you could have a human work of art that is trying to purposefully mimic an AI generator, which looks like the case with Strawberry Taiyaki Cat

I’d love to be behind you in line at starbucks

Update 9/21/2023: Google says it has removed the AI-generated selfie from Knowledge Graph and Knowledge Panels, where it was appearing, after 404 Media reached out for comment and first published this story.

The rare comment praising the N64 controller joystick.

Hopefully this includes bug fixes and more compatibility with linux?

I’ve been trying and failing to get my Debian host to stream to an Nvidia Shield Pro

Everybody say it with me now. Introversion ≠ social anxiety.

Just because I’m a social recluse does not automatically mean I don’t know how to strike up a conversation.

I’ve been tempted to pick up World Brothers but the character/weapon customization kind of turned me off of trying it since it’s so different from earlier EDF titles. I wonder if the sequel is going to be any different.

Yup. I’ve had an itch to play diablo 4 and now with rumours of starcraft 3 being developed I really want them to get their act together so I can support them again.
