I think this person means non partisan, because Metal Gear Solid is filled with political intrigue.

Boiglenoight ,

Back then I felt like I’d played everything. Fun to learn about games that passed me by.

Boiglenoight ,

🎵This how we do-it🎵

Boiglenoight ,

Just say they. Not he/she. They. End of argument.

Boiglenoight ,

Yes. The argument that we need to grow is a capitalistic one imo. This isn’t a capitalistic platform afaik. Small communities are naturally better, I think.

Boiglenoight ,

Valve can be attributed with saving PC gaming. When people were terrified of buying “digital only” games on this fugly client called Steam—which only had Valve games and a few no name indies—the PC gaming shelves in places like Walmart and EB Games looked like a clearance section. Just a hodgepodge of games in no particular order, worn out looking boxes of new games picked up and put back down, meanwhile the PlayStation and Xbox walls flourished and even GameCube got more love from a merchandising standpoint.

Now we trust Valve with our digital libraries the way we’d trust a bank with our money. They’ve earned that trust, and I can’t say the same for Sony or Nintendo which are happy to charge you repeatedly for the same game. Microsoft actually does a pretty good job of making your old games still playable in some form, so Kudos to them.

So will we be surprised when Epic Games Store goes tits up? No. Will we care when we lose all our games? No, they were all free. Should we support Valve as long as they continue to be the champions of PC gaming? You better if you care about where it goes.

Boiglenoight ,

I’ve used GoG. It’s good. Never used Itch.

Boiglenoight ,

Is it worth playing on PC today? Or should one start with two.

Boiglenoight ,

I started playing each game in my library for about 10 min and then moving on. Some games catch me playing longer but otherwise I check them off as played. With recent Steam sales I’d buy 5-6 games, immediately install them all, and play each right away. Feels good man.

Boiglenoight ,

Sounds good. Going to buy.

Boiglenoight ,

Finishing doesn’t matter. I’ll play something for maybe a few hours and drive on. It fills fulfilling to me. Better than never playing it. 👍

Boiglenoight ,

Do you pay for email? If so this is wrong. If not, it’s how you pay for email.

Boiglenoight ,

The way I see it, they have us over a barrel. Unless there’s law on the books that says you can’t do that, your recourse is to pay for email or setup your own mail server. Good luck getting others to trust that though. I guess you could pay for a 3rd party cert.

Boiglenoight ,

Agreed. This is wrong.

Boiglenoight ,

What about web hosting these days? Time was you’d get email as part of that deal, with your own custom domains. Have they farmed that out to services like Gmail etc?

Boiglenoight ,

I’ve been playing since launch. I played a lot last night. I do not see the problems. I play on hard difficulty. I have a good time whether winning or losing.

There are players that take the game far more seriously than I and honestly they make the game more tense than it needs to be. They make it feel competitive, in that if I’m not doing what they think a “good” player should then I’m unwelcome.

I think the vast majority of complaints stem from these players. I lament that another Call of Duty is not coming out sooner so that the community can diminish into relative obscurity, hopefully populated with like minds that view this as a game and not an e-Sport.

Boiglenoight ,

I love the flame thrower.

Boiglenoight ,

It sounds coy. Money is on crap.

Boiglenoight ,

Modern Warfare 1 and 2 were great.

Boiglenoight ,

I erased my original reply twice. You’re right, I stopped playing because I found all the cosmetics ridiculous and repulsive.

Boiglenoight ,

I had a blast playing with friends and DMZ was refreshing. I wish they’d brought that out of beta.

Boiglenoight ,

Fortnite. I was excited for the original game, and amused where it ended up, but it’s not for me.

Boiglenoight ,

I mean, the no build mode is ok. The concept of building a fort and defending it Left 4 Dead style, if done right, could be endlessly fun with friends. Each wave would require repairs and more sophisticated builds to take on tougher mobs. But yeah, what Fortnite became never drove me to play it unless friends asked me to.

Boiglenoight ,

I never played a Starship Troopers game. Read the book 👍 and saw the movie 👎👎

Boiglenoight ,

I’m stuck in 3. Going from 2 to 3 is…tough :)

Boiglenoight ,

It feels like they threw Japan’s Hawaii into the mix. And I enjoy the story for sure. That downgrade in graphics, where you can go. When 2 let me enter familiar buildings I was pleasantly surprised.

Boiglenoight ,

That sounds wonderful. I’m playing Alan Wake 1 on SD. It looks better on that than my high end PC. Unfortunately I have 3 on PS4.

Boiglenoight ,

Man, the SD is amazing. I’ll keep that in mind.

Boiglenoight ,

It’s becoming Reddit. Which is what we wanted last year? I know what you mean though. There is a difference between now and then with our community. Probably related to user count?

Boiglenoight ,

Toxicity is inexcusable.

Boiglenoight ,

Two wrongs don’t make a right. Just because someone chooses to be greedy doesn’t make it right for someone else to be toxic.

Boiglenoight ,

I don’t agree. Being better rather than the same is what makes the difference.

Boiglenoight ,

I dig it.

Boiglenoight ,

Mani bet this plays fine on Steam Deck. I am going to fire this up today.

Boiglenoight ,

In 96 I visited LA. It was 70 degrees and snowflakes falling from the sky. A waitress in Johnny Rockets said the brush fires were normal as were the mild temps during that time of year.

Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change...

Boiglenoight ,

Let’s wait and see.

Boiglenoight ,

Steam Deck or GTFO amirite

Boiglenoight ,

I picked this up on a Steam Sale and never played. 😓

Boiglenoight ,

Love this game so much. If you’re looking for a relatively chill game that makes work fun, this is one of those. Of course, there’s stress points, such as removing rockets that can explode if you don’t act quick enough.

Boiglenoight ,

It looks great. Souls fans are going to be in heaven.

Boiglenoight ,

There are so many games to play, it makes no sense to release crap unless you’re in it for making money. Then you can release whenever and someone somewhere will buy it. See MW3.

Boiglenoight ,

Those were the good ones.

Boiglenoight ,

We had dozens of preorders for Mortal Kombat 2 for the SNES. We got 8 copies in at our Software Etc. and did not get any new inventory for over a month. It was crazy.

Boiglenoight ,

The Jeff Gerstmann Show, Nextlander, Opencritic. Trusted sources are Game Informer, Gamespot, Eurogamer and IGN.

Boiglenoight ,

I love the atmosphere of the game, and the first one is reminiscent of the Wizardy games in terms of building a party and having them die. I would probably never finish it, but I do play it from time time even still.

I hadn’t played the second game. I don’t know what this DLC is about, whether it furthers the game in the same way or changes the fundamentals. I would be interested in a more traditional RPG in this world though.

Boiglenoight ,

Sounds fun. I welcome anything that iterates, particularly in the way Shovel Knight did.

Boiglenoight ,

Who wants this? I think it’s nice to have but not a community to satisfy.

Boiglenoight ,

I’m scared they’ll go the gta route and abandon the single player for a long time so they can focus on mtx bullshit. Whatever they’re doing is almost certainly taking time away from TLOU 3

Yup. Unless this is going to be used in the third game as well, move on I say.
