- Comment on What I'm playing 🪝🐶 Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines | Grappling hook platforming goes multiversal 3 days ago:
Great post!
Do you recommend playing the first game first or is it better to immediately start with the second game and play the first one, if you want to have more?
- Comment on If "James Bond" is a codename, would a hypothetical female operative filling the same role receive the same codename? 5 days ago:
The number was reassigned because Bond was not in the MI6 at that time, yes.
- Comment on Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, why is it so hyped? 5 days ago:
From what I found, it’s possible to play it on Linux through Wine, so not totally windows exclusive. How well it works depends probably on how willing you are to tinker, as always in such cases.

Oh, that looks interesting, thanks for the info!
- Comment on When you attempt to get visas or citizenship status, you usually need legal documents from your home country, but what about dissidents who fled, and their government refuses to issue papers? 1 week ago:
Can you give me directions where that planet is with the same countries?

… It took your comment for me to reread the other one and yes, that does make more sense.
- Comment on There's been 7 replies to this post, but the usual chain of replies on lemmy aren't opening up. Normally l use brave browser, but when l opened my account on firefox, it's the same. Where's the bug ? 1 week ago:
Could be from somebody who is blocked by you or your instance. You could try opening the post from another Lemmy server and try to see it then.
And if the comment is blocked, then all replies are also blocked for you.

Wait, you could write on the map? Sure that was in Thief1&2? I can’t remember anything like that.
- Comment on Thief 1 & 2, the grandfather of the stealth genre 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, the biggest problem in my opinion is that they don’t commit to stealth, because they think the fan base is too small. So everything has to be solvable by violence as well. Which in turn leads to a worse experience than if they focused fully on that.
Which is why I’m so surprised that the indie Retro wave hasn’t yet created something like Thief with a new story/world. Should be easier nowadays with game engines and editors and I think there is no real competition there yet.
- Comment on Thief 1 & 2, the grandfather of the stealth genre 2 weeks ago:
Oh yes, that level is still in my memories after more than a decade. And for good reason. I will make a post about Thief 3 in the future if nobody else does it first.

- Comment on similar to the word of mouth post, what game did you not expect much from but loved it? 2 weeks ago:
Funnily enough Hollow Knight. I saw the release of the Grimm Troupe DLC on GOG and was interested by the art style. I thought, hey a metroidvania, it’s been a while since I played one. The rest was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had, precisely because I didn’t expect anything.

Ah thanks for the info on BAR! Nice to hear that they are working on a third faction.
- Comment on Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, 18 years old titan and still the greatest strategy game of it's kind 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but while that second monitor map looks cool, I never managed to effectively use it. I was always too occupied with the main screen.

Nerd!

You can change the game speed of SC and/or simply pause in single player and give orders without worrying about reaction time. But I totally understand that it’s not for everybody!
Building times are long, yes. But in this game, more than in any other, it is important to support construction with additional workers. Everything that produces something, be it workers building something or a factory producing a unit or a missile silo creating a rocket can be supported by construction units. So while an experimental unit can have something like 120 minutes as building time, that is for one single unit. So you built that with 30 workers and then it’s only 4 minutes. Provided your economy can sustain the needed resources. But that is what the late game is about: building a strong enough economy so that you can output silly amounts of the big units.

The Aeon are the ones you mean. The “donut” is their experimental spaceship with a laser attack like Independence Day.
And it takes a bit getting used to the difference in economy to other strategy games, but I wouldn’t say it’s hella complicated. If you want to play at a casual level, you can do that against an easier AI. That’s how I play it and it’s still fun! =D

- Comment on Overlord 1 & 2, being the bad guy can be fun! 3 weeks ago:
For sure I played it. I didn’t recommend the real classics till now, because I wanted to give less well known games a chance for attention. But maybe it’s time to talk about Thief and Deus Ex to get more people talking.

- Comment on Community to honor Lemmy users/Fedi users who have passed away 3 weeks ago:
Because some people are pretty involved in some communities and have people they care about in there. And would like to know if somebody they knew died or they themselves might want to announce it to them after they died. Not everything needs to revolve around you.

- Comment on Are there video media (e.g TV shows, Movies, anime, video games, youtube videos, etc...) with a majority of the dialogue in an fictional language? 3 weeks ago:
ICO and Shadow of the Colossus don’t have a lot of dialogue, but what they have is in a fantasy language with subtitles for you to understand
- Comment on Shadow of the Colossus: An oral history 3 weeks ago:
It was a different time. As you said, it is not a true statement in general, but I can understand where it comes from in the 2000s video game history.
- Comment on King of Dragon Pass, making you feel like a bronze age tribe chieftain 3 weeks ago:
Yes, that is definitely a gimmick that isn’t for everybody. I also played it by feels instead of carefully strategizing.
