  I’ve been playing the Ballionaire demo, which is pretty damn fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatever happened to racing games⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss good arcade racers. I don’t remember the name of them, but I remember on the Xbox or 360 there were some really fun ones where you race around cities and nice landscapes. You could just jump in with friends and race. These days any racing game I try is like a job. Oh, you want to race? First drive to the garage, pick your car, talk to the mechanic, then spend 20 minutes driving to the race track. Mario Kart is about the only fun racing game I can think of, but I’d prefer something with real cars.

  At this point the screenshot thing needs it’s own sub

  I was thinking more of an open API of how the game interacts with multiplayer services, so that in theory anyone could setup a server, or server services. In practice I completely agree with you though. Nobody wants to do the whole “Oh wait, you’re on that server? I have an account with that other server” thing. Steam, or some other party, would just become the defacto place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, it would be super fun if you’re into the game, as long as it doesn’t become a job, which it might.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If 1 million people sign a petition, a ban on rendering multiplayer games unplayable has a chance to become law in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I could see this leading to standardizing and outsourcing multiplayer services, which would be interesting.

  That being said, before that happens, as a developer I’d be like: here’s a zip file with all of our proprietary stuff ripped out. Have fun spending the next few months getting it to work well. Congratulations, you’re now supporting a game that did poorly enough for us to drop it.

  But seriously, go sign it. Long term it should be a good thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is really easy to test in fairly small social groups. The next time you’re in a group ordering pizza, say you want cheese, because you don’t eat meat. Now watch everyone else order, or change their order to, double meat supreme with bacon. It’s almost like they can’t help themselves. It’s hilarious how easy you can change other people’s behavior.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tekken is still weird and that’s what makes it great⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Back in the day I was always impressed with Tekken’s graphics, but it never felt as good as Virtua Fighter. I think VF made even better use of 3d space, and also added interesting environment interactions. So thats where all my quarters went.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google says the AI-focused Pixel 8 can’t run its latest smartphone AI models⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, that’s what you get for buying the cheaper phone! Except I got the 7 Pro, and it feels like it was abandoned as soon as the 8 was announced. As soon as I read that I wasn’t getting functionality that was clearly cloud functionality, I realized that Google stopped giving 2 shits about existing users that don’t immediately upgrade to the latest phone. Also it sucked at making phone calls, so that was the last Pixel phone for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Harebrained Schemes relases the last update for The Lamplighters League "The Final Patch"⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s on game pass if you have that. I started it and liked it, but got distracted. Been meaning to get back to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like this is a weird take. Children will play good games and discard bad games. They may not do research before asking for a game from a beloved brand, but the same is likely true for many adults.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New icon and banner for c/Games (!games@lemmy.world)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What are the specs? Dimensions, resolution, format… Can it be animated?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I tried over 20 Steam Next demos so that you don't have to!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I really liked Earthless, which is similar to Cobalt Core but adds grid movement.

  Galactic Glitch was pretty fun, too.

  ColorSpace is annoyingly challenging, in an addicting sort of way.

  I also played a lot of ‘Survivors’ games. Most of them sucked, and surprisingly few worked well on Steam Deck, but Sea of Survivors was fun.

  I’m not that far into it, but I’m enjoying it so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 09-10-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Started playing The Lamplighters League after seeing that it’s on game pass. Also still playing Sea of Stars,where I just defeated the Dweller, and now feel betrayed 😭

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 25-09-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Just played the Lamplighters League demo and liked it quite a bit. Only bummer is that it does not play well on steam deck, so I will hold off for a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dragon's Dogma 2 - Gameplay Showcase | TGS 2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks amazing. Being able to switch your class at any time seems a bit weird. I wonder why they don’t just have you take control of one of the other characters in your party instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 04-09-2023⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Playing Sea of Stars on gamepass, and Baldur’s Gate 3, co-op with my wife. Sea of Stars is pretty fun and kind of relaxing. I want to like BG3 more than I do. Lots of frustrations with the combat, and the waypoint/journaling system.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vampire Survivors co-op and new game engine upgrade is live⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh snap. Haven’t played in a while, but co-op is just the thing I didn’t know I needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just picked up DOOM Eternal (2020) for $5 on eBay⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Awesome game. I keep meaning to do another plagthrough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The Note 2 was my favorite phone. The replaceable back with the cover option was the best. Want your phone to look brand new? That’ll only cost $20.

  I never replaced the battery though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hollow Knight. Finally bought this after getting the stream deck. I just remember thinking: This is it? This is what everyone has been raving about? I think I played it two or three times, then completely forgot about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fortnightly Recommendations Thread: What do you suggest?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Solasta. It gives me that D&D joy, and it’s so much fun to make and playtest characters. Runs great on steam deck, too.
