I‘d totally take a Steam gift card. Would probably grab Hi-Fi Rush on sale and a few smaller indie titles like Brotato/Journey etc. Good luck to everyone!

I feel that way about sad games. There’s plenty reasons to be sad, I don‘t wanna be sad playing games. I need more A Hat In Time-s.

Videogame prices combined with hardware prices combined with the terrible state of games at launch makes playing older, actually finished games the better choice. It‘s not like Fallen Order‘s a bad game now, but I can play it at 4k handily without selling a kidney nowadays.

…I wish people realizing this was the reason for the numbers but it‘s mainly big, old live service games lol

And it‘s working

The title made me think I was about to read a young earth creationist‘s opinion on the Apple Vision Pro

I think over the course of years it would eventually end up becoming Illinoises, no matter if the word came from a different language. Words tend to get assimilated like that. It sounds weird now cause, well, there are no two Illinois so practically no one ever used it in plural. I’d pronounce it literally as „noises“ as in noise. But I‘m no linguistic expert, heck I‘m not even a native English speaker. It‘s just my belief.

Personally, Imma wait for it until I have a machine that can run it in its full glory and a screen that can display it in its full glory. So gonna take a couple years, but I‘m not running out of good games to enjoy in the meantime.

One of the rare showerthoughts that I like, nice one

I agree so much on Forza 5, it‘s my first Forza and driving through the wasteland that is the part of Mexico they decided to largely use is… boring. Which is a shame cause the graphics, car selection, and driving is top tier. The Crew piqued my interest cause it‘s on Hawaii which sounds immediately more interesting lol, but I think it‘s overall a qualitatively worse game from the looks of it.

I played Turmoil which is honestly pretty fun but nothing mindblowing.

I‘ve also finished Supraland which is also recommendable but I wished the dev would have actual useful pointers where to go and what to do next, I‘ve been lost walking around for an hour until I just gave up and checked out a guide on where to go multiple times. Especially when you put it down and come back to it a couple weeks later you‘re doomed lol

Shoutout to Lovely Planet which is an entertaining speedrun FPS that doesn‘t look like much but for sure surprised me. Final shoutout to Pineapple on Pizza which is a ten minute f2p game with a wholesome ending

NFS Heat and Kaze and the Wild Masks. Both games are fun enough but not my favs.

I absolutely loved Pokemon USUM‘s OST and was heartbroken when I found out the OST release was just like 1 minute long tracks that you couldn‘t easily loop (obviously it looped infinitely ingame)

How do I unread this

Although I don‘t like the art style much, the gameplay is fantastic, and the atmosphere dense

That‘s terrifying. And I don‘t mean the dying part.

Thanks for the Depresso ☕️

I think it‘s good to grow. Lemmy (or the Fediverse, I suppose?) should be as inclusive, convenient, and engaging as can be. It has only just started (in my opinion), we‘ll see how it goes. I like it here so far, feels like people are less prone to jump at your throat for voicing a (harmless) opinion.

I can‘t tell you since I also disagree. I did basically the same thing I did on Reddit, I only got thrown off seeing multiple „subs“ with the same name.

Some people complained how complicated „explanations“ are. I saw these types of comments on the Reddit Alternatives sub.

I think you‘re onto something. I read a lot of comments of people thinking the fediverse is too complicated to deal with and while I disagree - but also think it has issues - there does seem to be a barrier of entry for a good portion of people in the form of „inconvenience.“ So whoever is here really wants to be here and not just be an anonymous arse. I don‘t think you gotta be particularly smart, you gotta step out of your comfort zone.
