Yeah me too since I don't really play multiplayer games developed by valve anymore.

I will say though, to me it is a lot more than just loot boxes. These "in game" items have real world value which add to the risk reward factor that made them so addictive to me growing up

Valve hasn't really done much to stop this issue

I think people just ignore and don't pay attention to them. Also valve is great at hiding them.

It's no secret that a lot of their ventures are funded by child gambling addictions that valve has enabled

I don't use the Amazon launcher, but I'm pretty sure the Amazon games are DRM free as well. Not sure if it's all of them but I know a lot are

If you only judge games based on graphics, I understand your point of view.

But I think it can be argued that Nintendo's gameplay/design is pretty often up to date, if not ahead of it's time. And tbh to me that matters the most.

Ex: Mario Wonder, Odyssey, BOTW, TOTK, Metroid Dread, Animal Crossing, etc

What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack? in c/[email protected]

Dude it's not a dig lmao

You just have some privileges that allow you to have more free time. If I was you I probably wouldn't do anything differently

When was the last time you felt guilt about something, as in that emotional pit you noticeably feel in your stomach when you have done something wrong towards someone? in c/[email protected]

Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Oddly enough I've been playing High on Life on the Steamdeck. I give it a solid 6/10.

The art style is cool and the characters aren't as annoying as I thought they would be, but damn is it shallow.

All levels are basically the same but the gunplay and movement are nice enough to keep me around. I just play it while watching TV with my girlfriend. Nice mix of a wave shooter and platforming. It really reminds me of Doom in a way

What's a giveaway or tell that someone may be *too* online? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I noticed that a lot of my friends who are really online think that everyone will always agree with them.

My theory is that this happens because they are used to their algorithm only showing them content/comments of things they agree with and since that makes the bulk of interactions with other people, they think everyone is like that.

Also dehumanizing people who they aren't politically aligned with. I think that people who "touch grass" more often, deal with people all over the political spectrum so they can separate the human side from the politics side.

These are just my theories btw I don't have evidence aside from my anecdotes. A sample pool of like 10 people lol so clearly not enough

What games can you not get into because they feel too outdated? (lemmy.ml)
 

Are there games that you tried but just couldn't get into because they feel outdated? Games that, in theory, you would enjoy, but don't because the controls, graphics, writing, or mechanics just don't feel good anymore. Games that, compared to today, just don't hold up to your standards.

I recently tried playing Heroes of Might and Magic III, and I realized that a lot of the invisible language used through game design from that era, I do not understand. There are many things that the game didn't explain, and I assume they were just understood by players. Not only that, but I imagine there was a lot of crossover between video games and board games back then, so maybe that language was used as well. I ended up downloading a manual and putting it on my second screen and I get it and played it, but it just wasn't for me.

I also dropped Mirror's Edge, but this time it was because of the graphics. It looks and feels great, but the graphics give me a headache. There is way too much bloom, and for some reason, there are some parts that look like the imaginary lens has been covered in Vaseline. This didn't bother me before, but my eyes are not used to it anymore.

There are also games like the first two Tony Hawk Pro Skater games that I can't fully get into because they're missing mechanics from the later games. The levels and controls feel great, but they don't feel complete without those mechanics. It keeps me from enjoying the games as much as the others.

Please share yours!

What are your favorite single player games to go back to? (lemmy.ml)
 

What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

  • Minecraft
  • Furi
  • Mario 64
  • Super Mario World
  • GTA SA and Vice City

It's kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can't help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don't get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.
