I wish I had more to talk about, but this month I’ve just played so much MineTest.
I have this feeling that I’ve almost got my server plugins where I want them, but it also feels like there may always be one more plugin to discover.

When you say you are playing Minetest are you playing MineClone or did you start from scratch with the mods you chose.
MajorHavoc@programming.dev 6 months ago
I tried MineClone first, and it was fun. After researching mods, I went deep down the rabbit trail, and switched to MineGame/default, since it seems like there’s more mod combinations.
Now I have a setup that’s roughly MineClone, but with some quality of life changes.
Most notably, once I tried the ‘always have a crafting table’ default in MineGame, I missed it anytime I tried to go back to MineClone (which requires a crafting table to unlock 3x3 crafting, just like Minecraft).

What plug-ins have you installed? Do any of them make you feel like you’re having an experience that you couldn’t replicate in minecraft?
MajorHavoc@programming.dev 6 months ago
What plug-ins have you installed?
I have about 30 plugins installed.
I started by adding everything by TenPlus1, on the assumption that anyone working that hard, to make that many mods, was probably making good mods. (This turned out to be a good assumption.)
Do any of them make you feel like you’re having an experience that you couldn’t replicate in minecraft?
Oh yes.
Mods like ‘More Trees’ and ‘Famring Redo’ provide a much deeper farming experience.
‘Pipeworks’ adds the inventory sorting engine that I always wanted in Minecraft, but with much simpler recipes.
‘Realistic HanghGlider’ replicates Elitra and Rockets, but it’s just craftable - no extra-dimensional scarcity. Which happens to fit my play style.
And most notably, the default 3x3 in-inventory crafting is such a nice quality of life feature. I’m not constantly running back to, or making another, crafting box.

I didn’t know this was so customizable, I’ll have to check it out.

Finally went back to Outer Wilds for the DLC. So far I’ve enjoyed it, but my heart does beat harder than it did for the entire main game lol
Whooping_Seal@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I got a used copy of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for switch, I know I’m very late to the party on this one but I am enjoying it a lot.
It is the first game however where I’ve had my switch fully crash, I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised since it is a Bethesda title.
I’ve veen spending a bunch of the time reading the random lore books in the game, the world building is definitely the main draw for me over the gameplay. Gameplay isn’t my favourite but I am enjoying it still, I feel some more contemporary RPGs have definitely spoiled me in some ways.

Don’t worry my guy, that’s the whole point of this subreddit :p

Fallout 4 with the StoryWealth mod. I never finished FO4 the first time thru so I’m trying again. 15 hours in.
Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I’m tend to jump between multiple games, depending on how I feel at the time.
Right now the main titles are: Cities Skylines, DMC5 and Pokemon Crystal. Secondary ones: Tetris DX and Puzzle Quest.
Finally there’s Reverse Collapse but that’s a new title so doesn’t really fit this community.

Just finished Tails of Iron. And just starting A Plague Tale: Requiem.

I’ve started playing Fallout 1 after playing every 3D fallout games
fpslem@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Finally got around to Talos Principle (the first one) and it’s as good as people said.
I also started playing some space battles in Empire at War on “Star Wars Day” (May the Fourth) and find that level of not-very-challenging RTS kind of soothing, so I’m back to playing that for a bit.

I just started God of War 2018 on PS4. I’m an hour into the game and loving the combat especially.

I am a simple man… Some Stardew Valley — I try to visit my farm every so often, a little THPS1+2 action when it’s raining lately and I am waiting for a perfect / slow morning to tackle Gorogoa.
MajorHavoc@programming.dev 6 months ago
If you had told me decades ago that I would still be playing THPS1 and 2 a quarter of a century later…I would have probably nodded and said “yeah. Makes sense.” I guess we knew it was a classic, back then, too.
But still. What a game!
somnuz@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Yeah… as remasters/remakes go, this would be one of my favorites just right next to Crash Bandicoot series and New ‘n’ Tasty Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee. Oh! Tetris Effect kinda sorta fits in this group too.
All of those titles deserved some new generation graphics and polish, none of them lost their fun value, vibe or overall quality in the process. Plus there is no need to emulate anything, no crack-mod-tango, so bonus points for making some of the best games ever created widely accessible.
If one day, any studio would put the same amount of effort into Driver series or Remedy would go full nostalgia and re-do the Max Payne series — oops… I think, I ventured too deep into fantasy lands here.

It’s only a year old but Vampire Hunters has been my go-to lately.
HubertManne@kbin.social 6 months ago
sorta nothing. I was doing dragons dogma but a combination of its mechanics and it crashing has put me off. then was going to do cyberpunk but this thing with stat checks being based on level put me off. in elden ring im at the point where I think I will take the frenzy flame to save the tinder but im sorta waiting for the dlc to see if I can do that before taking that step. I will get back into things but with tax time in the us combined with all the rest of modern life i have been doing more couch potatoe vegging out for breaks lately.
Brub@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
I started a fallout 3 playthrough again. I never really did the evil options so I’m going to try and bring myself to that this time.
Rose@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Ravenlok. It’s only a year old but it runs perfectly fine on my 2016 PC. I’ve not played Zelda but I feel like it’s similar. Lots of retro game vibes.

Just started playing demon’s souls and dang it’s tuff
Ashtear@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Picked up Midnight Suns. Having a blast with it, though this is the first Marvel property I’ve played/watched/etc. that mimics the MCU, so that’s a little weird. Mixed bag so far on that; whoever’s playing Iron Man is doing a solid RDJ impression while Erica Lindbeck as Captain Marvel (my favorite superhero) is going to be distracting. I’ll probably end up randomly hearing Misty or Futaba as I go.
I’m loving the writing so far, though. I actually stepped out to catch up on a couple of the movies but I’ll be jumping back in tonight.

I just started playing Guardians of the Galaxy and I’m really enjoying it so far.

Starting Rogue Trader this week. Having fun with it.

What I been playing
—————-
Motor Town for driving wayyyyy too fast in an open world
Xonotic for swooping around and feeling that zen feel that comes from being locked in with an arena shooter.
Halo Infinite & Splitgate (I hop back and forth between the two) for multiplayer fun. I love the jet pack in Splitgate and Halo Infinite is just damn good halo multiplayer (though I wish it ran a tinnyyyy bit better on my Steam Deck).
Operation Harsh Doorstop for my realistic shooter vibes, this game has been really fun to see coming together in development, especially since Battlebit has so thoroughly disappointed me with giving the advantage entirely to high mobility smg players and not giving other play styles any way to counter that. Idk Squad wouldn’t even run on my Steam Deck I don’t think so Operation Harsh Doorstop has been my semi-realistic shooter of choice.

As mentioned elsewhere, just started Fallout 4, after being put in the mood by then series.
abbadon420@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Oh my god, I totally forgot about that series. Seems like I have weekend plans now :)
Karjapuskuri@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Same here. Started a new game with some mods that add quests and locations for some new content.

How do you like the show so far vs the games?
