I remember some pretty good four player mini-games including one in planes where you stole eggs from the centre of the arena and took them back to your nest. The player with the most eggs in their nest won. You could also steal eggs from other player’s nests which always led to some great trash talk.
Actually, I think the mini-games on DKR meant my friend group probably played it more than Mario Kart.
As a Brit who misses the EU a lot they always did a lot right but are underappreciated by the people living in it.
Grabbed Mass Effect Legendary Edition on sale for £4.99 and having a blast. Completed the first game last night and now started on the second one. Runs like a dream, EA launcher didn’t cause any issues (I loaded it in desktop mode the first time) and the game is as good as I remember from first time around.
The only issue I’m having is when I use the HDR calibration in game I wind up losing a bunch of detail in dark areas and the image overall is way too dark.
I’ve also picked up subnautica ready to give it a proper go at some point after picking it up and it not quite gripping me on game pass on desktop.
I’ve never been a Linux guy but recently I’ve switched to Pop!OS on my laptop and bought a Steam Deck. Other than a few teething issues with the laptop I’ve had a great experience and I wouldn’t consider myself ridiculously tech savvy. I’d absolutely consider switching my gaming PC over but my worry is loss of performance and being unable to use my game pass games. I’d be super happy if I could switch my PC over in the next couple of years.
Just picked up the Legendary Edition Mass Effect Trilogy for £4.99 to play on the Steam Deck. Read a few guides online which made it sound pretty complicated to get set up but actually just doing the initial load of the game in desktop mode and logging into EA there has meant it now works through the standard deck mode without a hitch. Great game for the deck and (touch wood) performance seems pretty solid.
I was at a random hotel in London for work and was wearing a pretty nice suit. There was a mirrored column near the door and nobody about so I was adjusting my jacket since I’d been wearing a backback. The girl who worked behind the reception (probably 23 and quite attractive, I’m 36) walked past and said “Hey, you look really good.”
Absolutely made my day and I even excitedly told my girlfriend when I got home. It was possibly the only unprompted compliment from a stranger I’ve ever received.
You’re joking right? I’m in the UK and every bugger going has a Merc or a BMW.
OOTL… What revelation?
God, Planetside and Planetside 2 in their prime were my absolute jam. I was a reasonably active participant in an outfit called Libertas de Dominitas on Werner and even went to an outfit meetup in Manchester. There’s never been anything else that quite comes close to Planetside.
I have literally no idea what “hexbear” and “tankies” are. I’d never even heard these words before being on Lemmy but they’re all over the place on here.
I’m using Jerboa and it’s fine but I’m missing a few features from Sync and frankly I don’t like change 😂
Do we have any news on if any of the popular 3rd Party developers are planning to make Lemmy apps? How interchangeable is the code? Will it be a case of starting from absolute scratch?
Agreed. If I’m honest in this case my concern isn’t necessarily that my access will be restricted at some point (or even the very rare dips when it switches servers on entering or leaving an area). It’s more around the fact I’m playing the game effectively in single player and unfortunately that’s likely to have shelf life due to personal circumstances.
The one thing I’m struggling with is how do I find a subreddit equivalent? For example r/formula1 or r/UKpolitics on Reddit might be… What?
Also is it possible to find these communities using Jerboa or so I need to login on my desktop?
Edit - spelling
All of this!
