  Same dev then, Funcom

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ditto (but 2077 instead, haha). I’ve had no issues, except I wish it’d be possible to export the mod collection and reimport on a different device - eg going from desktop to Steam Deck and vice versa, which I’ve had to do manually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer interview: my Q&A with the creator of Lutris⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for another great post and a very interesting interview! FWIW I cross-posted it to !linux_gaming@lemmy.world

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! VNs are definitely a genre I’m also trying to explore more of, Umineko: When They Cry is on my wishlist

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, those sound great!
  Yeah, I also wish there were more mystery/detective series out there, but haven’t found that many so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure I read Fullmetal Alchemist 15 or so years ago, but I don’t remember the story well at all.
  I’ve seen Avatar the Last Airbender mentioned countless times, but never took a look at it, I’ll check it out!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually have the game on my wishlist, I don’t know whether the anime and the game are one and the same?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Adding those to the list, thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the summary, I’m adding it to the list!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, that looks really up my alley, I’m adding it to the list!

  Nope, 8bitdo (via their eshop) ships directly from China to Canada, alongside a number of other countries.
  The change is only wrt shipping to US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft patch Splinter Cell Blacklist after 12 years to add achievements⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not exactly, you need Steam to install it, but then per PCGW’s wiki:

  DRM-free when launched directly via <path-to-game>\SwGame\Binaries\Win64\SwGame-Win64-Shipping.exe while EA app is not installed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft patch Splinter Cell Blacklist after 12 years to add achievements⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t confirm for Steam, since I only have the game on EA app, but the game’s wiki page on PCGW shows the same DRM-free info (with correct launch steps).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft patch Splinter Cell Blacklist after 12 years to add achievements⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, they do - this Steam DRM-free games list shows Jedi Fallen Order is the most recent DRM-free EA published game on Steam afaict.
  Same goes for DRM-free games on the EA app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #10⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As enjoyable as ever to read!
  I think you might have missed the link to Nightdive Studios’ future endeavours? Or Voyager is not showing it at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hot take: Get your game reviews from gamers, not from collectors⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess, by some standards, I could be qualified as a collector - I buy games for OG hardware before playing them.
  However, and I don’t believe I’m the only “collector” doing this, if a game is bad, didn’t age well, etc, I will definitely say so and likely would sell said game if I’ve no interest in playing it again.

  Sure, there are collectors who don’t play games at all and review based on price, if that, but I know there are also people who do it like I do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, thanks - so far I’ve avoided any guides and went in completely blind, I’m starting to explore the map again for what I might have missed.

  spoiler

  I’ve been trying to beat the Mantis Lords for a while, but I feel like there’s some other place I might be able to go for now - I think I haven’t fully explored the City of Tears yet, but got my first nail upgrade

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still playing Divinity: Original Sin II.
  I also picked up Hollow Knight recently and I’m making progress, albeit painfully sometimes haha.

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

  I’m slowly continuing my playthrough of Divinity: Original Sin II and absolutely loving it.
  I also recently bought Stardew Valley, finally, and started playing it a bit.
  Last one, Mushihimesama as the c/shmups Game of the Month.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck / Gaming News #8⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Voyager works perfectly fwiw

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
  • Castlevania: SOTN
  • 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

  I didn’t think I’d enjoy SOTN so much, as I tend to have mixed feelings towards metroidvanias, but it delivers in many areas - I’d say it’s too easy, but then again it’s a matter of adjusting your equipment to make it more difficult.

  I’m attempting another playthrough of 13 Sentinels, I’m not sure why I bounced off of it a couple years ago but I’ve been getting into “gameplay-lite” games lately with great results.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite Pokémon Game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ruby and Sapphire, 100% because of nostalgia as I haven’t played either in 20+ years - those were the last games my grandpa gifted me so they hold tremendous sentimental value.
  Gold and Silver would be close seconds, since my sister and I played those games when growing up and I have great memories from back then.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are modern Final Fantasy games bad?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No?

  Realistically, as you mentioned with FF XIV ARR now being a classic but also being a pain to get into is true for any other older FF, many people simply have rose tinted glasses to keep them from seeing all the flaws present in those prior entries.
  I also started with FF VII, but 25 years after its release, and let me tell you that it did not age well (at all) imo.

  Had I not picked up FF XVI, I probably wouldn’t have given the series another chance.
  I now player both FF VII remakes to date and absolutely loved them, especially Rebirth, and am going through FF VI, which I also think is a masterpiece tbh.
  FF IV didn’t work out for me, but that’s fine.

  All that to say, video game series evolve, ARPGs have been quite popular for a while and FF went that route - for now. That doesn’t make for bad games, and the series will keep evolving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the game you play when nothing else sounds good?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Shmups. Not any one in particular, although ESP Ra.De. or DDP DaiOuJou often tend to be top of my list.
  Otherwise, Streets of Rage 2 or TMNT: Turtles in Time.
