Make a game that doesn’t feel like a bad facebook post?



This doesn’t sound like a very stimulating or well thought out game, to be honest.

And the last time I posted this comment, you deleted the post and reposted it, after apologizing to me.

Damn, could even play some Bohemian Rhapsody on that!



I would like to experience more artistic works, but after two strokes, my right hand is nearly useless.

Miss me with your ableist bullshit.


Maybe they shouldn’t have tried building that line, killing journalists and paying hush money (which worked badly enough that I, a random Cascadian citizen, know about these crimes)?




Honestly, FemShep is so much better, she’s more richly developed as a character than BroShep ever was.


Hi! I have had two strokes and the mobility issues that come from that. There’s a story mode with greatly increased timing windows that helped a lot.

You need to play this.

It is profound.


The first step is to go to an art supply store and buy a beginner’s brush set, and acrylics or watercolors that give several different hue options between. Take art classes to learn what you’ve got and how to use them, whether that’s at a school, a community class, with friends, or even following along with Bob Ross.

Eventually, you’ll see that your own labor with your two hands is infinitely more impressive and amazing than whatever forgettable drivel you’re trying to squeeze out of technology now.


I think the loudest and longest laugh I ever got was at the very end of Untitled Goose Game. Not gonna spoil it for anyone, but once I figured out the joke that had been stewing for three straight hours, it had me laughing for the rest of the night.





I’m downvoting this because I don’t think Elon is important for gaming, and I think his game will be hot stinky dooky.


Yup, this is why I never ever play multiplayer in video games. Also most of my board game play is solo too.


I’ll check it out! I survived SH2, I can do this too!


Actually, shit, this is impressive.

I think you just explained how football is played to me in a way I can actually understand!

Thanks for that.


It’s my favorite Final Fantasy, to the point where I modeled my wardrobe around it. :(



And I make a point of avoiding early access (though I have been known to drift too far in the other direction and I play a lot of PICO-8 prototypes), so I’m looking forward to seeing this one with fresh eyes!


You’ve misspelled the title of the game.


To each her own, and your decision isn’t putting me in financial jeopardy, so carry on.

But all this seems really derivative. You sure this is worth going all-in on?


Zachtronics Solitaire collection. 500+ wins on the biggest hardest mode in the game, cause I only get a few minutes at a time.


For those who come after!

Also, uh, watch out for Maelle? She’s got a nuclear device stuck on the tip of her rapier, don’t let her stick you with it.


By pure hours? Zachtronics Solitaire Collection for iOS. Most of the time I only have a few minutes when I’m on the go, and those are damn good solitaires.


Bubsy 3D? I can’t wait! My wife says I should play it without any spoilers.


I’m playing Ex Astris! I can’t believe I slept on this game. It’s so good.


When she cries, and Emilie cries, I cry. This game is near-perfect.

That expression she has with her head in her hands is horrifying and perfect and never seen twice.




Final Fantasy XIII and Detroit Become Human hit me so hard they both permanently altered my wardrobe and aesthetic.


I’ve probably got some weird takes, but let’s go:

  1. Chrono Trigger is at the way top. The greatest game of all time hasn’t been bested in 30 years. Telling the best narrative I’ve heard in my life, and packing it into 20 short hours, with timeless art and amazing music, and into FOUR GODDAMN MEGABYTES, this is one many try to beat, and none have succeeded. Not even Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

  2. CrossCode comes right behind it. This game is much longer, but that’s okay. It’s essentially a single-player MMO with all the trappings of life within. A wonderfully smooth action combat system, more amazing music, and some of the most memorable facial expressions I’ve seen. It’s also written in freakin’ HTML5.

  3. Zachtronics Solitaire Collection. Going purely by hours played and wins scored, this is on my favorites whether I like it or not. Every solitaire game from every Zachtronics title, right there. Special shout-out to Fortune’s Foundation.

Honorable mentions: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for the worldbuilding and music, Final Fantasy XIII for exactly the same reasons, The Talos Principle 2 for simply giving its NPCs the agency to say “nah, I don’t wanna go back, I’m staying home,” and Chaos Rings 2 for creating one of the most high-stakes yet viscerally unpleasant stories I’ve witnessed, wherein to proceed through the game, the protagonist ritually sacrifices his ever-shrinking party of people.


I remember I was in summer school at some joint when I was 14. It was my first day and I showed up a bit late, and they didn’t have anything for me to do cause I was too late to join the class, and so one of the teachers sat me down at the computer they had and told me to learn about Ancient Rome with this software.

And I started playing Caesar 3 and it felt vaguely like a punishment. Eventually, it stopped feeling like a punishment, I bought my own copy to play at home, and eventually I bought the GOG version, and I’m still here, 26 years later, wondering why the prefect always turns left at that goddamn intersection, and as a result, entire neighborhoods burn.


Effortless. My only issue with it was installing Plank Reloaded.


Life is Strange road-trip
Having just finished an excellent playthrough of Life is Strange, it suddenly dawned on me that I live not far from the Oregon Coast. Somehow. You know, like a decade and change after the game first came out and I first finished it. And [*gestures wildly at everything*] being as bad as it was for the mental health, I figured maybe I could go see all this stuff. My knowledge of the geography of the Oregon Coast says Arcadia Bay as it is doesn’t really exist, but according to Dontnod’s interviews and such, it’s a concatenation of Garibaldi, Oceanside, and Cape Meares (among influences from other places, like nearby Tillamook, Lincoln City, and Depoe Bay.) So I went! (I went alone, so since I was driving, I couldn’t take pictures on the road. I mean, physics had no problem with it, but the law was giving me the hairy eyeball.) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f24e1435-d0f5-453d-bbfc-4c67fbb34848.jpeg) Garibaldi’s city plan was almost identical to that of Arcadia Bay, so I started there. I could smell the bay and I wrote postcards to my friends while I was sat at the pier. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/9692e4bc-120b-4c00-bac7-0a57a5cd0738.jpeg) And although the Two Whales Diner doesn’t exist, the two diners across from each other on the pier added their own contributions. After I was done in Garibaldi, I headed out to Oceanside, but I ended up pulling over in Tillamook to snap this mural. For reasons. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e07a817b-cb79-4625-8646-236a22a07e52.jpeg) So Oceanside was insane. The first thing I saw was a nearly vertical city, tons of big giant houses stacked on a hillside. And if that wasn’t enough, there were people in gliders doing lazy circles over the city! ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/fa3a3809-e228-477f-a25d-cc0fd4538d4e.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/117ec4ab-c67b-45c3-b01b-e002c2999ccb.jpeg) Oceanside was supposedly the real life city that could be seen from the lighthouse, and I was excited to see how. After I spent some time on the beach, I headed up to Cape Meares, the real life inspiration for the Arcadia Bay lighthouse. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3d0be7f5-ffe2-4791-b036-92be860d016f.jpeg) Rather than Arcadia Bay’s lighthouse jutting up into the sky from a tall tower, Cape Meares went steadily downhill, and most of the lighthouse was below-grade, and it was much, much shorter in real life. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3fea28d8-4931-468b-8ec2-f438b21800c8.jpeg) And then I saw *The Bench.* ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f337d5f1-c99a-4b23-ae26-8eaa37efe297.jpeg) *The bench for Max and Chloe.* ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/81ee56e6-7acc-4dfb-92d2-1e1b323299ac.jpeg) *The bench specifically for Max and Chloe.* ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/be33b6e4-8b97-4d80-9289-0038ed2de4ac.jpeg) *Max and Chloe’s bench.* ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/e7b45194-28d3-4705-a28c-513a6ec8b2b9.jpeg) There’s actually two benches: one that faces the lighthouse, that one up there, and this one here, that gives the iconic view of the town. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bd3501e3-2fbc-4ef7-a710-de23cddefd70.jpeg) There was also just really cool art drawn on that other bench too. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/074c1ddf-93e0-4086-9ec5-0b4f3d5f43e0.jpeg) Also it was worth noting that as I was leaving Cape Meares down the road, I saw two deer bounding away from the road, almost symbolic. It was the perfect end to a great day. Anyway, I had fun, and it was a very healing trip, and I’m so glad I went. Also yes I brought a Polaroid camera with me. ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c94c7a9e-e030-4b57-b78a-0a013d015529.jpeg) I hope you liked checking this all out!
