  1. It's been 12 or so years since I've seriously played #GuildWars2 -- wow, the game is even more fun than I remember! Our gaming group started with the original #Guildwars after spending a lot of time playing Baldur's Gate online. Getting back into #GW2 is so comfortable. No pressure, #SlowGaming (if you want). And it's free to play the original story (lots of content there for free).

    We've got a lot of story to catch up on -- looking forward to it.

  6. I knew that there was #HJKL navigation and #WASD navigation, and some of the full-screen utilities in the #nosh toolset support both.

    I read that there's also QAOP, which alas contradicts the conventional use of 'q' that those utilities already have, and ESDF which alas overlaps WASD.

    One cannot be all things to all people, and it seems excessive to make this configurable somehow when they're only limited-use bonuses over just using the normal arrow keys.

  7. Somehow missed the existence of Legend of Khiimori until yesterday.

    Now, I’m not going to play the demo, but certainly wishlisting it ready for the early access in March. What can I say? I like delivery games. 😇

    Elite Dangerous (space truckers represent!), Snowrunner, Euro Truck Sim, etc. For some reason, those games are relaxing for me.

    I avoid demos because of the “repeat the first two hours” issue they often cause once you get your hands on the release version.

  8. This #Dune movie makes me very much wish it was scored with the #dos soundtracks of the Dune games from the #90s instead of this constant grandiose shit. They are the perfect soundtrack for general Duning activities.

  9. The Steam Machine looks interesting.

    I can already run games (and many other programs) on Linux Mint, and do almost anything I need, BUT most folk are nervous about leaving the MicroSloth environment.

    A “gaming PC” that works like a Console, but still has access to the whole Linux library of software might push the OS into the mainstream. Particularly for students. It becomes a 2-in-1 Work-Relax system.

    Transfer your work to it after classes, watch your videos on it, play your games on it, get your mail, social media, etc., without worrying about “learning Linux” in any depth.

  10. Windows is still the N°1 gaming platform by far.

    The thing is, how much until then it becomes an alternative rather than the norm. SteamOS has been progressing a lot but online games anti-cheat is its weakness.

    Unfortunately that’s not entirely up to Valve.

    "VIC 20 Elite is based on the C-64 source. VIC 20 specific graphics, text, keyboard & joystick input, and sound routines were written from scratch to replace the corresponding C-64 code."

  12. Today's not-so-guilty pleasure - Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

    I saw a post here on #Mastodon recently (sorry, can't find it right now) with an intriguing old-school screenshot of a #RogueLike #NetHack or #Hack like game.. And this is that game

    It's got a great tutorial that walks you through the basics at a good rate, and it's interesting and a bit challenging. I felt like I was playing the game not just learning the mechanics. It's on all the platforms.

    Ooop, BonBon needs my attention...

  13. We are gearing up for the final level in #SeriousSam 4. We got to the boss monster last week, but fell short of taking it down. 4 Guys Co-op will take to the field again! Wish us luck.

  19. coming from #BeanieBaby era of #ComputerGaming, once a game was released: that was it.

    if boss #3 was too hard: boss #3 was too hard; you had to push through, get good, #whatever

    as such, whenever dev pushes a patch to lower difficulty in single-player portions of games (here: bosses in #ArmoredCore) it strikes me as a bit #ODD; especially when the bosses were not #ThatHard

    is it a sales thing? are we worried that the game having a reputation of being "too hard" would hurt future adoption?

  20. Morning Mastodonians!

    4 Guys Co-op had a good session at Serious Sam 4 last night. I kept the challenge level up (Hard difficulty and a 1x Per Player enemy multiplier) but I gave us 10 lives instead of 5. We had a very rough patch in the middle of the first game so we had to try over. But after about an hour of shooting away, we finally beat the 7th level, Morituri Te Salutant. The last battle in the Coliseum was simply insane. Our very last Black Hole(!) gave us the win. #fps #ComputerGaming

  21. Still waiting for B to get back from his travels, so we played an hour of Ark Nova on BGA last night. I surprised myself by coming in a close 2nd in our last game. Usually, I get crushed. #boardgaming Then we had a disappointing session of Serious Sam 4. I expect us to get a little further when we play a level again, but we never made it as far as we did last week. Still so much fun. I grabbed a couple of replay videos. Of course, the funniest parts are still friendly fire. #ComputerGaming #FPS

  22. Morning Mastodonians!

    I've had a pretty good week of #ComputerGaming. Tuesdays are #Gloomhaven with C and, after 4 hours, we almost finished a 2 room dungeon. Not sure we'll even win! And then last night, 4 Guys Coop did finish Ch 4 of #SeriousSam 4, Gates of Hell, after 2 tries, even with 10 lives. So far it's fun but it's missing the crazy chaos of the wide-open levels of the earlier classics.

  23. Hier ein Nachtrag:

  24. MAN I miss LAN parties.
    A few photos of my friends and I from approximately 2001 - 2006

    If you've got any, please share your own LAN pics with me, I live for this sh*t 💚
