Yeah that name sounds familiar. If it’s what I’m thinking it is, that was a favourite of mine for a bunch of game modes.

Absolutely. I also loved infection on that one map that’s in the same world as the forge map, it’s like a floating level over water. Can’t remember the name now, it’s been years. Then there’s also a good one that’s all indoors, sort of a fancy human building, maybe corporate or hotel originally, I can’t remember now.

Then Alexandria was awesome, there was a super cheesy spot you could get to there. Oh and then there was an outdoors map with sort of a circular building in the middle of the map, that was great for infection too. Oh and then another indoor one, all grey walls, small outdoor area where you could fall to your death.

Now that I think of it, I think I just loved that game altogether. Damn now I’m nostalgic.

Infection on Zealot has to be one of the best times in Reach PvP. Your Reach posts have made me very nostalgic, but this one might take the cake. Good job.

You’ve completely nailed my feelings on it. Online semi-requirement is super annoying, but it’s also one of my absolute favourite games ever made. It’s my second-most played game ever, too.

CE probably has my favourite campaign (both solo and co-op), but for PvP it’s definitely Reach for me. It’s also the one I’ve got the most time in by far.

I didn’t get much into Halo 3 for some reason, I’m not sure why. Aside from the campaign, I mostly just stuck with Halo 2 until Reach came out. I was also getting into CoD a bit between playing 2 and Reach so that also sucked some time out of 3. Then after Reach I got super into Battlefield 4 and that was my main PvP without friends but with friends I still mostly played Reach until my friends moved on from it. Now I almost exclusively play single player games, with the exception of one friend who I’ll sometimes play NHL with.

I have so much nostalgia for Halo Reach. I was just talking to someone else on here about Reach last night actually. I wish I had friends who still played Halo. There’s not much better than Reach with the boys.

I’m not very techie at all but after using some guides I learned how to dual boot and distro hop. I’m now all in on CachyOS and have been super happy with it. Ditched windows for good a few months ago.

+1 for CachyOS, I’ve been running it for a few months now and it’s my new favourite. I’ve run Mint, Ubuntu, and Bazzite but none of them felt right to me. Cachy has been great since day one. I mostly use it for gaming but also like to do non-gaming tasks too and it handles it all very well and very quick and smooth.

Starfield got a lot of hate, some of it well deserved, but I still enjoyed my time with it. I put maybe 60 hours into it, which to me is a long time for a game, so maybe my expectations are low, but I’ve got a family now so I don’t have the time I used to for video games. I’ll probably replay Starfield in the next couple years. It’s not a perfect RPG by a long shot but if you’re okay with a mostly linear game, and don’t mind loading screens, I’d say it’s worth it. It sort of reminded me of Fallout 4 a bit, in that the gameplay is well polished, but for an RPG it’s quite linear, only a couple good side quests (factions mainly) and most of the effort was put into a few aspects while lots of the world feels a little empty. Starfield takes it a bit further than Fallout 4, and I’d say Fallout 4 is a better game than Starfield, but you get the idea.

Truly the best community on here

How are you liking navidrome? I’ve been using Jellyfin for everything, using the finamp app for music, and it’s been pretty good. I’ve heard good things about navidrome but I already had Jellyfin set up on my server so I just stuck with it for music too. I don’t have much music on there yet though so I’d consider moving over to navidrome if it was a considerable improvement. I did try to get it set up a few weeks back but couldn’t get it right away and got busy afterwards.

We need a name for lemmy users running arch on their pc that they’re using to watch stuff on their Jellyfin server

Elden Ring is third person and Skyrim allows for both. I’m not picky on it though, I like both.

That’s a good point about GamePass though. I also learned that BG3 had a two hour demo on PS5 which I also own. So I might look into that too.

Yeah I read about that after posting. I’ll probably pick that up honestly, but these two games are both super tempting too.

Good to know, thanks.

That’s a good argument. I appreciate your insight.

If you spot me $60 I’ll happily buy both 😄

I like replay value, but music and atmosphere is very important to me.

Can you replay Clair Obscur?

How’s the soundtrack for BG3?

I appreciate this input, though I actually like both styles as long as it’s executed well, so unfortunately that doesn’t seal the deal for me. Thank you for the extra info though.

That makes me lean a bit more towards Clair Obscur. Though both sound awesome.
