Amazing as always. I have no intention of getting switch 2 ($$$ and we have a steam deck) but the new James Bond game trailer is making it tough.

I wanted to share my home screen; thought you might appreciate it. I stole one of those pixel art cityscapes you shared and might put it to use:

The message cycles Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Night, Good Lord (for when I really should be asleep).

On a road trip driving/exploring the coast right now, so I’m not getting any gaming in. I hope that cabin provides some peace and relaxation for you!

The gaming magazines were fun and all, but your posts take me days to get through because you really sell me on wanting to deep dive into everything, and you even provide links to exacerbate the situation!

Very nice work. These posts are genuinely my favorite thing I look forward to on Lemmy.

I finally started death stranding! I got goosebumps the first time I was out on a mission and the camera backed away letting you just experience the scenery and music. And then so scary when, you know, it’s scary. Great at setting the mood. It’s beautiful

Santa’s Red suit was a staple, at least in American advertising, for decades before coca cola did it

5, but echo that it needs some workshopping

The fact they keep doing it leads me to believe we’re missing several instances where they’ve gotten away with it

Ok then, staying the course! Also two questions…

I can’t find best answer for Death Stranding: Should I go mouse & keyboard or controller?

And what country did you end up in?

I have to stop reading these. I finally just got Death Stranding installed to play this weekend, but now I’m eyeing expedition 33 because it looks beautiful. I feel like a week from now you’ll have me pulled another direction!

I’ve learned that I’m sometimes scrolling on my app and accidentally trigger the swipe-to-like function. Just a thought for random, weird down votes.

Literally yes. Yes they do

I think heat

Alternatively, since it looks like you’re running on battery, does something in your setup change to a “low power” performance mode that throttles your system?

If it follows clickbait pattern it is clickbait, whether you personally felt baited or not

Writing “This game” instead of the game’s name has literally only one possible intention.

I love reader mode. I Use it to bypass pay walls, too Did someone say something?

I don’t think Lemmy users are representative of their target demographic. The vast majority of people seem to just put up with ads

I’m equally happy whether:

A) They are a focal point of the next game

or

B) We are left wanting.

Same with Gary

Let me just open this article to see how billion dollar company Ubisoft helped defend and protect their consultant…

Told her to ignore it. Cool

Made a statement about how amazing she is after she turned the tide. Got it.

My library has kids and mature gaming sections. I think it’s a trick to get us to walk through more books to check both sections.

So many of the discs are scratched to hell, though

Split Fiction is peak, gonna be hard to beat. Too bad you can’t do ‘a way out’ it’s very well done. Might want to look into tweaks for those “unsupported” games, as many of them work fine. Unraveled 2 is a good example.

Otherwise, If this is something that is really becoming your thing, it might be time to hook your PC to the TV or invest in a console. If you go console, you additionally open up the world of games that require individual screens (crossplay games-you on steam deck screen and them on TV screen, but still sitting together OR you on pc and them on TV if same room).

Our couch coop at some points was me with my laptop on a stack of books on the coffee table while she was on a ps4. Played Aragami this way, for one.

They may seem silly, but there are a slew of Lego games that people get really into and are very impressive. Human Fall Flat also has some silliness, but good puzzles at times

Hyperion is insanity! Loved that series. Dan Simmons has a warped imagination

Everything but the combat looks amazing to me. The was a Steven universe mobile game that was this same kinda turn based with timed actions. Didn’t really like it. I feel like I’d rather have turn based or real fine. It seems kinda gimmicky. But who knows maybe I’d enjoy it in actual gameplay

It looks like they’re each compatible with different devices maybe
