If you only judge games based on graphics, I understand your point of view.

But I think it can be argued that Nintendo’s gameplay/design is pretty often up to date, if not ahead of it’s time. And tbh to me that matters the most.

Ex: Mario Wonder, Odyssey, BOTW, TOTK, Metroid Dread, Animal Crossing, etc

Nice! I’ll probably get it after I finish my current game

Any zombie games for the deck that you recommend? I’ve been looking at Sker Ritual. Supposed to be like COD zombies

Dude it’s not a dig lmao

You just have some privileges that allow you to have more free time. If I was you I probably wouldn’t do anything differently

My partner recently had a financial and vehicle emergency and to help out I moved in with her. I now drive her around and help pay for her rent. I was supposed to stay for a week and now it’s been about two months.

I moved out of my parents to do this and because I cannot afford it, I do not pay part of their rent now. They can afford to get by, but my dad’s work van recently broke down and he works out of that truck so it has affected his income and he now has to replace the van which is very expensive.

They are now struggling financially and I feel like I could help if I move back in with them to help pay for rent. They are now in the same situation my partner was in two months ago, but I have not left to help them and it eats me up inside every morning when I wake up.

Yeah this screams privilege lol

Oddly enough I’ve been playing High on Life on the Steamdeck. I give it a solid 6/10.

The art style is cool and the characters aren’t as annoying as I thought they would be, but damn is it shallow.

All levels are basically the same but the gunplay and movement are nice enough to keep me around. I just play it while watching TV with my girlfriend. Nice mix of a wave shooter and platforming. It really reminds me of Doom in a way

I noticed that a lot of my friends who are really online think that everyone will always agree with them.

My theory is that this happens because they are used to their algorithm only showing them content/comments of things they agree with and since that makes the bulk of interactions with other people, they think everyone is like that.

Also dehumanizing people who they aren’t politically aligned with. I think that people who “touch grass” more often, deal with people all over the political spectrum so they can separate the human side from the politics side.

These are just my theories btw I don’t have evidence aside from my anecdotes. A sample pool of like 10 people lol so clearly not enough

I once knew a guy named Harry Hooker

How are you liking cult of the lamb? It seems like fun

NBA 2k Playgrounds - fun game for quick 30 min play sessions on the steam deck

Wrestling Empire - might not quite be patient since it’s not that old, but it kinda is in a way lol. Just a lot of fun and I love the role playing aspect of it

How come? I’ve been out of the open source loop recently

What mods do you currently use?

This is just my theory, but with the price of game development increasing so rapidly, I think it’s getting harder for the impatient to cover the development costs and make a profit off shitty games, unless the game has a huge following. Games like COD, Diablo, Star Wars, etc.

For games without that following, I think they are definitely being punished for their bad practices. Like Gotham Knights, Red Fall, Saints Row, etc. Games that cost so much that they have potential to shut down studios

Haven’t heard too many people asking for one either

fortnite dances

I’ve never had that thought, but I often think about driving over a curb. I play a lot of racing games too

Hey I was just thinking about our conversation today for some reason.

What are your thoughts on the headset now that it’s been nearly a year since the announcement and it’s been out for a couple of months now?

Not sure if you’re still active on Lemmy but it’s worth a shot

Question that might sound dumb.

Were they actually this vibrant back then or were they made more vibrant to make up for limitations of a CRT?

Maybe she wants to keep it crunchy 🤷
