  I just remembered Hush.

  Tom Elliot was one of Bruce’s childhood friends, but always kind of a psychopath. He set up his parents murder, and then used his inheritance to go to medical school and become a master surgeon.

  In-game or real life? Lol

  I don’t remember any controversy surrounding DOOM and satanists irl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request for FPS recommendations.⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  And the line for Metro about taking points off for weak lore rubs me the wrong way. Like I’m not necessarily a fan of the Metro series, but I understand why others are.

  Like damn, I didn’t realize the recommendations had to be cinematic masterpieces too.

  Damn this does sound pretty interesting. It sounds to me like kind of a mix of Phoenix Wright and Shadows of Doubt, but I’m sure it plays a bit differently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Request for FPS recommendations.⁩ ⁨⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Halo

  This should be the top answer for anyone asking for FPS recommendations.

  Also there’s no need to justify playing Warframe. It’s fun as hell. Also, you do realize in DOOM that you’re killing the demons and devil worshippers, right? And what controversy with the director for DL2? I played both Dying Light games but the first one is way better anyway.

  The city is absolutely cursed. Wasn’t it originally built on or near a native American burial ground or something? Or is that just Grundy and his swamp?

  Plus the multiple Lazarus pit thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Batman has an awful lot of villains with doctorates.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  He doesn’t have a doctorate but Joker is stated to be an expert chemist almost on par with Scarecrow, just different focuses.

  Ra’s Al Ghul is 600 years old, a master of multiple martial arts and languages, has first-hand knowledge of all kinds of history, and is the leader of the League of Shadows.

  And I’d be willing to throw most supernatural villains in the list too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Batman has an awful lot of villains with doctorates.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how I’ve seen people explain it. Like everyone who has access to the funds is basically taking a bit for themselves. And if not, then almost everyone is incredibly easy to bribe or pay off somehow.

  Basically Gotham is corrupt to the absolute core (think every facet of city government, all the bureaucrats and city workers and such) and the League was right to have a plan to wipe it off the map.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I finally got my PS3 emulator up and running, so I’m finally able to play Sly 4 for the first time.

  It’s… different from the others. First in art, second on overall feel. The art is changed for a more cartoon aesthetic than comic book, so animation in the 2D cutscenes is more fluid and there are more details on everything (you can see the wrinkles in Sly’s shirt, and the tufts of fur, for instance). The gameplay feels more floaty, like when you jump it looks like you kinda hover for a second before falling back down and it feels a little more weightless than the first three games.

  I’m still liking that I get to play more Sly, so I’m not complaining too much.

  “The human mind. Six hundred miles of synaptic fiber, five and a half ounces of cranial fluid, fifteen hundred grams of complex neural matter… A three pound pile of dreams. But I’ll tell you what it really is. It is the ultimate battlefield–and, the ultimate weapon. The wars of this modern age–The Psychic Age-- are all fought somewhere between these damp, curvaceous undulations. From this day forward, you are all Psychic Soldiers. Paranormal Paratroopers! Mental Marines who are about to ship out on the adventure of their lives! THIS IS OUR BEACHHEAD. And this is your landing craft! You shall engage the enemy in his own mentality! You shall chase his dreams, you shall fight his demons, you shall live his nightmares! And those of you who fight well, you will find yourselves on the path to becoming international secret agents. In other words… Psychonauts! The rest of you… WILL DIE.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Random Screenshots of my Games #58 - Black Mesa (Half-Life)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo (and most other fan’s opinions) you should absolutely start with the OG, if nothing else than to see how gaming has evolved and such.

  If you’re feeling it, I’d recommend just jumping into BM. With the original being so fresh in your mind, you’ll really appreciate the work these people put into their remake. It’s so full of love for everything in the original (and a bit of HL2) that it still kinda blows me away with all the little details and such. The scientists and other NPCs all look distinct now and have different personalities and voices, and before shit hits the fan you’ll hear plenty of little banter and idk chat between your coworkers as you make your way to the rest chamber.

  There’s also, as a mod for Black Mesa, another team remaking Blue Shift in the new engine and all. They’re not done with the game yet, but what they have is about 3-4 hours worth of story finished (the first 5 or 6 levels I believe), and it’s actually expanded on even more than in Black Mesa or the original Blue Shift. There are more named characters, extra parts added to missions, and it feels like the same care went into remaking Blue Shift as went into making Black Mesa.

  There’s also a fun part at the beginning that has an overlap with Black Mesa where you, as Barney, see Gordon go by in the tram, and I think he flips you off in like a teasing playful way.

  People did shit like this all the time on reddit. Why are you personally taking offense to this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 256 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been curious about Lethal Company, but I’m not a streamer and I don’t have friends to play with.

  That said there’s another game almost identical to LC called Murky Divers and instead of going around different research stations on different planets, you’re cleaning out research stations underwater.

  You have a sub that you use to go around the ocean, and there’s like a radar to help you navigate, avoid creatures and obstacles, and find locations to actually go into. There are all manner of creepy underwater creatures and anomalies to find/avoid, and I’m sure there’s at least one giant sea creature that can come and fuck you up if you’re not careful.

  Tbh I didn’t get very far because as soon as I pulled up to a location and got out of the sub, I freaked out and turned the game off. I ended up refunding it because, again, I don’t have friends to play with and I’m not a streamer lol. But it did seem like an interesting spin on the concept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Baldurs Gate 3's voice acting so great that it ruined other games for me?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Legacy of Kain: Defiance. They got actual stage actors and real acting veterans to voice a lot of the major roles in that game. It feels like you’re playing through some epic dark fantasy movie because of it.

  Also, it may sound weird, but some of the audio logs in Prototype 2 actually fucked me up because they did such an amazing job. The one that’s stuck with me the most is one you can find fairly early on in the game, where a mom is trying to stop a government soldier from shooting her son because he’s nonverbal (and therefore can’t “prove” he’s not infected), and it’s absolutely gut wrenching. I had to stop playing for a few minutes after I heard because it was so intense. Here’s the recording if any of you were curious.

  Why is turn-based so popular? I understand everyone has different preferences, but the headline makes it sound like the author wants all games to be turn-based.

  It’s one reason why I don’t like 4x games, tactical RPGs, and even Pokemon. I’d much rather have real-time combat and all the difficulties that presents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lego Confirms Pokémon Collaboration Set For 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because not everyone is going to or wants to drop serious cash for a big set. Some people don’t have the space or whatever the reasoning may be.

  Also, imo The Expanse is a bit too adult for Lego to adapt. But they did make an ornithopter from Dune (the new one, complete with a floating Baron Harkonnen minifig), so who knows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lego Confirms Pokémon Collaboration Set For 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ninjago is still going strong after like what? 10 years? And it’s a pretty good theme with all kinds of badass builds and part usage. City has never not been a thing since it’s creation, and we’re still regularly getting modulars every year since like 2005. Lego is still churning out tons of their original stuff: the new Neo Space, Dreamzzz, Friends, the aforementioned Ninjago.

  Sure they’re making more and more licensed stuff, but I’d honestly “blame” Dimensions and people as a whole. Who else would want to see Lego Ghostbusters or Pokemon or Sonic interact with each other? Fans of those franchises, that’s who. Lego is just giving people what they want.

  Idk why this was a whole rant, but hey.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lego Confirms Pokémon Collaboration Set For 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It only took 25 years. I’m not even a pokemon fan but I’m curious what their sets would look like. I have been tempted by a couple of the Mega Bloks sets though, and I even got one of the mystery pokeball sets and ended up getting Bulbasaur.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin's Creed Shadows | Review Thread⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve been pushing back the end of the world since 3. Every new game since then has been about prolonging the story just a bit more. I was kinda taken out of the whole thing by the ending of Valhalla, where Desmond and Layla’s consciousness basically became digital Adam and Eve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assetto Corsa Evo devs quietly changed Steam description, paving the way for Early Access price hike⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plenty of G*mers out there who would gladly just give their wallet over to their favorite developer/publisher. Even here on Lemmy. I even got downvoted for telling someone that no one was forcing them to buy the next new console when it comes out, and they replied that yes they will if their partner finds out about a particular new game. I was flabbergasted.

  It doesn’t surprise me at all. In fact I’ve seen other similar comments on other steam games that people like riding the dick of.

  The only sticker(s) 8 would want to put on my personal vehicle are maybe some colored letters (I have a Santa Cruz, so it has “SANTA CRUZ” indented into the tailgate) to fill in those, and a little orange speech bubble that says “MINE!” as a reference to the Orange Lantern Corps from DC Comics.
