It's free from Amazon but again I've already got a free copy from Epic

Nice!

I wanna mention one of my favorite ways to game (especially asynchronously) with my friends

https://archipelago.gg/

Archipelago is a multi world randomizer, and Overcooked 2 in included in that and plays pretty well randomly!

For those curious, it's basically "everyone's progression items are strewn about everyone's worlds", so I might unlock morph ball for someone's Metroid run in my hollow knight run, and they might find "throw" for overcooked 2

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That sounds like absolute carnage, certainly appropriate for Overcooked. How does it work? Do they have to make a mod for each game they want to support?

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yup! And then you make a config file (usually via the website) and it all goes together into a server (free on archipelago or you can self host) to make and track the randomizer.

So for OC2 – things like throw, usable joysticks, sprint, emote, faster washing/faster cutting, plates being clean instead of dirty, the ramps, and a few other QoL items are in the pool. Then you do stars (default is just 1/level) go get checks, and need more stars for more levels. Obviously it's much easier with all your tech, and you can scale it however you want.

For some games, it can be insane amounts of checks. Like factorio or Stardew or StarCraft

I should also say, like when my friends and I start a big archipelago run it'll take > 1 month, and we'll have 2-5 games per person, and will have 10k total checks

Of course you can do way way smaller ones. Even single sitting ones for sure.

That's really cool

Love gog and love overcooked! Would gladly take that key! Thanks for sharing with us!

Awesome! Thank you very much!

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 11 months ago

I enjoyed the first one more, but these are some really fun co-op games.

~~Hello! This post is against the rule 6 where "deals" and such are not allowed. This community is for acts from players to players. 🧐~~

I acted like a fool I am. :p

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I know, I'm saying I already have a copy of the game from Epic so my GOG code from Amazon is up for grabs for anyone who wants it

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oof, I misunderstood then. I thought it's unlimited like epic games does for example.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's one per active Amazon Prime account. You can get Prime for free, claim all the games and then cancel, but for someone who can't be bothered (or maybe is actually unable to do so) then I have my key which I don't need.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks for further clarification fren.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait, what? I'm a Prime subscriber. I already have the game, but can I get a free key for it somewhere?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, go to the link in my link and it should have a claim button, for GOG giveaways this just gives you a code which you can instantly redeem or give away.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! I had no idea.

I don't suppose you could just unclose this one so I can give my key away? While being lazy myself....
