I’ve recently noticed that the tactical shooter genre has kinda fallen out of favor. Games like ghost recon, socom navy seals etc. Aren’t being made anymore. I think it’s a shame that some genres go dormant for a while.

But more than that, I just want to see developers take more risks again. Indie games have been the exception here, but I remember there being so many unique games in the early 2000’s.

Brooo you can get the title of shithead? Why would you wana be labeled as straight when you could be shithead instead? lol. That’s what I would go for haha

Yes and no. It depends on the games. Usually I wait for discounts now though. I don’t have time to play every game anyways so it saves me money to wait. Even during sales, I’ll stop and ask myself if I’ll play it soon. If I don’t think I will, I usually just wait

Hmm, yeah, I get what you’re saying. I guess for me, I don’t feel like I have a ton of time to actually sit down and learn stuff, so any way I can make it more fun or give myself some kind of incentive to learn helps.

I know I want to get the end result, but it’s just a matter of tricking my stupid monkey brain into thinking it’s just fun games when I’m learning lol. It prevents me from getting bored long enough for me to dig in and get interested

Thank you so much! I’ll have to give it a go!

Oh! So this actually might be caused by bad net code. I remember years back during horizon 4, or early on when 5 released, people would play online races with friends, and a good portion of the time, the ramming wasn’t actually intentional. Both people would record the race and one friend would see the other randomly stop or go flying and the other person would see their friends’ car send them off course.

The game just thinks the other cars are in different locations than they should be. On the other players’ screen, it’s possible they didn’t even see you next to them. It can appear that you were behind them the whole time.

It’s why I wish they would offer a ghost mode where you can’t ram, but can just race each other. If they can’t make car interaction accurate, then I don’t think they should bother with that feature (or at least make modes where it’s optional)

I’ll have to take a look, thank you! I guess videos are more fun than just reading the information haha

Ohh thanks! I’ll have to check that out! I didn’t even think about checking for a game lol

I built my current PC with a friend back in 2013, and I’ve done some minor upgrading since then, but yeah, most of my knowledge is out the window at this point so maybe this will do the trick :)

Yeah I was also surprised to hear ps5 controllers went up in price. It made me sad

100%! I love controllers that use AA’s. So much easier to replace the batteries. I’m dreading the day I need to go hunt down replacement batteries for things like my DS, 3ds, Playstation controllers, etc. It’s probably not hard to find replacements. But it requires more work than just whipping out some rechargeable AA’s and calling it a day lol

This seems like a dumb question, but ima ask it anyway. Is there a more interactive or “fun” way to learn the process of building a pc? I know there are certain compatibility issues parts can have with each other, and I want to learn how to do all this.

But I feel like the info is really dry, and instead of just memorizing information, I want to make it fun, lol.

I want to try it so badly! I loved that they leaned into the Japanese themes and imagery, too. I think I’ll definitely have to make some time to play it.

I want to also play persona 3 for the first time, but it’s like 100 hours or so, and I look at that number and think, “That’ll take me 6 months to finish.” Haha maybe I’ll hermit myself inside the house this winter and smash it out in half that time

People listed Mirrors Edge, and I would like to also recommend it. It might take some time to adjust to the controls but it’s fun! I replay it a lot. I’ve lost count but I’ve been replaying it since release.

Titanfall 2 was a fun campaign. Also cool movement mechanics.

One game that I think got average ish scores but I enjoyed was Pneuma: Breath of Life. Idk why but I thought the puzzles were kinda fun and it was pretty enough.

The Stanley Parable

Catherine

(Kinda visual novel ish) AI Somnium files was fun.

I recently played the Little Nightmares DLC. It came out in 2017, and there were game breaking bugs still left in. I think people have just been burned so many times by unfinished products at this point

A good chunk of the 3DS library. So many titles I haven’t gotten around to yet.

I need to eventually finish monster hunter iceborne and then play Rise! I have a feeling I’ll probably end up just jumping to wilds though. It’ll probably be hard to go back to older titles when that game releases.

The Yakuza series! I have only finished zero, 1 & 2. They release them faster than I’m getting to them lol.

I think this is actually kinda cool. But I wish they had custom “Nintendo sounds” made specifically for the clock rather than game noises.

I feel like this would be a sure-fire way to make me feel negative emotions when hearing various game sounds.

I miss my online friends. They’re still around, it’s just hard to keep in contact in a way that works for us.

One now has two young kids(!) And the others are all busy with jobs and stuff. Our schedules just don’t line up anymore(plus timezone issues! I’m online when they’re alseep)

It felt like when we couldn’t game together anymore, everyone just kinda found it hard to keep in touch. I feel guilty about not trying to reach out more. But idk. It’s weird I guess

The second game (goat simulator 3) is actually a ton of fun to play with friends. It has couch co-op! Which is amazing nowadays.

I went into the game blind. I had no idea what it was. I was initially turned off by the jumping mechanics in the first couple of minutes.

I had been trying a ton of games on Xbox game pass that day, and I had tried a lot of mediocre titles just prior to booting it up.

I was this close to closing the game, but I thought it would be silly to just quit that quickly, so I said I would try it until I got past the tutorial.

I’m glad I kept going because 1) my mind was blown when I got past the tutorial, and 2) it ended up being one of my top 5 favorite games, if not my absolute favorite.

I felt like I did hear some people use it in a more “legitimate” or “good faith” way around the time it first was becoming a more commonly used word.

But then it seemed it quickly just became…this lol. Aside from those couple occurrences years ago, I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone use it IRL.
