Eternal Darkness is one of the very few horror games I've played AND completed - well not 100%'d but played through twice, once on GC and once emulated.

The game kinda waters down the whole sanity thing as you can just magick your sanity back up. Same for health, and magick goes up by just running in a circle for a bit. So essentially you can just max all meters all the time.

Either way, it's a neat game. Even for those who are not really into horror games, as the game isn't really that spoopy - and this is coming from someone who just generally can't with horror games.

started with NES games in late 80's, so in theory I should be fine with game pads? Platformers and driving games I can generally do fine, anything else? ... heh, it's like watching parents use computers. I just can't do first/third person aiming with analog sticks or use bumpers/triggers at the same time with anything else.

Mouse and keyboard are my weapons of choice, at least with those I'm not embarrassingly bad.

edit: though, Nintendo Game Cube controller is kinda my thing, not that I've played much of NGC games or anything, but I did finish Eternal Darkness just fine (emulated, used savestates, but still), the controller just feels way more natural than modern xbox/ps controllers

exactly this.

As cool as it is (pun intended) to reach new heights with liquid nitrogen, what is the usecase for ~an hour (give or take) of stupid fast computing? I generally tend to use my machines longer than that.

...seen this few times now, I'm apparently out-of-the-loop enough to not understand what this is about.

Why are they doomed?

Both seem reasonable. The banning is (AFAIK) mostly to prevent cheaters from making made-up familymember steam -accounts, and cheating in games as them. Once one made-up family member is banned, make another.

so, what I'm hearing is: for the price of 1€ per head, makes an okay timewaster for friday night beer-fueled gaming for 40-something coop-folk.

so how is the coop in this game? Racing as a team? How does it work? My friendgroup is VERY coop focused and 1€ is peanuts.

so... I take the multiplayer parts are going to be going away soon-ish, as offline mode is incoming and 1€ pricetag atm? Is this a last squeeze for the game?

Never played any of the crew games, but it's openworld racing and radiotowers (as its ubisoft? :D)?

Oof, well, that does sound bad. But, still kinda interested. Wishlisted for sale, waiting for fairly deep one

went in expecting a space-skyrim with typical Bethesda jank, and that's exactly what we got.

This is exactly what I'm expecting as well, so it's fairly likely I'll enjoy it. Wishlisted and waiting for a reasonable sale, I'm still kinda stuck in fallout: London for the foreseeable future - so not really hurting for content

so, how is starfield in current state, the pc version specifically? I do enjoy bethesda-style games (fallout 3, nv, 4, london, skyrim, etc.). I'm aware that at launch starfield was, apparently, quite the shitshow.

Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles ... but with the caveats that a) it's only PARTLY like stardew/portia/harvestmoon and b) For the life of me I can't remember if the game had money or not.

The game is partly farm-life-sim, but the other part is "zelda-like" adventuring and getting rid of "dark smoke thing" that does bad things to the world.

iirc their previous post about it mentioned refunding everyone.

this looks gloriously stupid, but dunno how long until the joke becomes stale... oh well, wishlisted and will re-examine the situation once it releases.

Okay, sure, when given the fps camera, closest things to the camera are getting noticed. Duh?

But all things considered, who cares about a single goblin toe? Im much more scarred about the thongs happening in nearby shed. Bleach please.

But at that scale there's always gonna be compromises. Duh. Does somebody actually expect full fidelity between 3rd person and closeups all the time? Might be showing my age but I sure don't. What kind of madnes is that?

Games don't need the show everything, leave a bit to imagination. Sure visuals ate cool, but don't let that be all there is to it.

TBH? Kinda lost the plot what even is "EEVEE next", it's EEVEE with RT features? Yea, using that. Otherwise, "Idunnolol". :D

EEVEE in it's current (blender 4.2.1) form is phenomenal, doesn't match cycles obviously, but it finishes the render this calendar year. In terms of the supposed animation: 10000 frames 30min per each, or 7sec each? I know where my choise lies. :P

man, it's been ages since I last saw this movie. Sober me's todo for tomorrow: meaning of life, python. GET. ON. IT.

"20$ is 20$"

which said it first: kofi -funded developer or onlyfans star?

don't we all? But we're here to make boring business software for MBA's

https://xkcd.com/323/ this? and the fact that most of my programming breakthroughs have come while in "two beers" territory.

edit: actually, no. MOST of my programming breakthroughs have dawned on me while sitting on the can. But second most is "two beers down".

I've always thought the "buy me a cup of coffee" was a thinly veiled euphemism for "give me beer"

edit: also, I have contributed. There's this one android app that works to translate between different wargaming/miniature painting paint brands (as in color matching), the dev straight up asks for a contribution for beer. It was so brutally honest I had to.

the bin and cue files are a cd/dvd image. IIRC you can't mount those directly, but you can convert them to iso with bin2iso (there are probably other tools too)

iso file you can mount something like mount -o loop /path/to/my-iso-image.iso /mnt/iso and then pull the files out from there.

As for directly pulling files out from bin/cue.. dunno.

oh, right. how silly of me.

I've read the comments here and I just don't get it, what does any of this mean?

Breaking up with your mom.

Haven't had a grill in ages. So hungery.

how is it broken? Genuinely asking because my home system is using wayland (kde/plasma too) and works just fine with nvidia with the 555 driver, the previous drivers did have all kinds of stutters admittedly.

edit: mainly using the system for media playback (youtube, videofiles, audio files) and gaming

ooh, shiny.

Can't wait until my distro gets this to stable repos. I don't have issues atm with 555.whatever version, but seemingly the 560 version does have quite a bit of fixes and improvements.

Anybody in the know if the gsp is usable / actually offers some benefits in the new version?

is Gearbox still in terms with Epic? It'll probably be in holding cells Epic store for a year anyway, and then it'll move to other stores with ULTIMATE EDITION -dlc bundle, with another dlc planned later on which isn't in ULTIMATE EDITION. Wasn't that the play with 3 as well?

Unless 4 does something truly new for the series, I'm probably not going to get it, at all. Kinda feel like I'm done with the series.

the "new" design is pretty much unusable on desktop too, imo. IF I absolutely must visit reddit, old.reddit it is.

kinda feeling that if it ever actually releases, it's going to be a dumpster fire of epic proportions.

afaik yea, and yet every time:

edit: apparently the image was pretty crunchy. basically most of the boycotters are playing the game they're boycotting against.

Requirements: 170 GB storage

... games are huge nowadays.

Marvel Heroes. It was a diablo-clone with a lot of playable marvel characters - which you wither grinded a lot of shards to unlock - or bought them(they were expensive) -and then you grinded for skins (or bought them... Again expensive with random chance boxes).

It was cartoony, fun and easily still in the top 5 games by playtime on steam.

Rip marvel heroes, still miss ya, even if you were stupidly expensive for a f2p.

I'm totally for cleaning up the reviews and tags (if they're not cleaned up already).

Sure, meme/funny reviews can occasionally be helpful if you know what they're about, but in general they're just noise. And the "nobody will read this [confession here]" / "Pet the cat with thumbs up" / etc nonsense is just unnescessary clutter. Thank you Valve for finally adding filters for those.

AWESOME! That was an insta-buy...

Though, truthfully, I had the original release from ... who knows when, and I don't think I ever played it. Can't remember why.

Either way, as good time as any to play through all of them newer ones.

I know it's a circumvention of the issue, and at times annoying, but you can add -site:reddit.com to the search to rule out a site, iirc

I only did so because I had installed proton-ge. You know, "when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" -type of thing. :D
