How System Shock's Reboot Wrestles With Adapting Its Legacy
  • I'm going to play it eventually. Already bought it, just waiting to be in the mood to get started. I am curious though... how hard is it just to figure out where you're going? That is often my biggest hurdle in these older games, even though I grew up on this kind of stuff haha.

  • Moonring Trailer
  • This game rules so far. I really like the dialogue and notes system. Plus, I honestly think it looks pretty nice for such a lo-fi style. Lots of QOL stuff for a game of this type too. Definitely check it out if it looks interesting to you!

  • Dusk: Unpopular opinion: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly
  • This is partially on these companies for failing to provide an equal experience to Steam on their platform. I bought Witcher III in GoG to support the devs, and my reward was a lost save by the time the DLCs came out, because their client didn’t have cloud saves. So guess where I bought their stuff from there on? Sure, they added these features later but for some people the damage is already done.

  • This is exactly my experience. Always liked CRPGs, but I've literally never finished any of the classics, or any traditional CRPG for that matter (closest would be Disco Elysium or Dragon Age: Inquisition for me). But BG3 is really hitting for me. I absolutely love it, and I want to give more of these a try once I finish it.

    Behaviour Interactive is bringing yet another classic horror franchise to 'Dead by Daylight.' Not long after the publisher added Nicolas Cage to the game as a playable character, the publisher revealed in a teaser video that a crossover with the Alien series is coming very soon..

    The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 27-07-2023
  • Mostly for reference later on down the line. I’ve used threads like this several times to see what people are saying about more recent games, and it’s nice to have the date in the thread title to more easily contextualize the comments. Just a suggestion in case anyone else uses these threads like I do.

  • Scientists develop game-changing vaccine against Lyme disease ticks
  • Just because it probably won't kill you doesn't mean it doesn't lead to debilitating health issues, which we could solve for if we simply vaccinate against it. Let the anti-vaxxers take their lives in to their own hands, but don't stop medical advancement because of them, for fucks sake.

  • How do I block porn without blocking all NSFW channels and communities without blocking all of lemmy?
  • There isn't a good way to do this right now, as far as I know. From what I've heard, the devs hope to add support for blocking entire instances in the future, at which point we'd be able to just block lemmy.nsfw or wherever the majority of the porn is coming from. Until then, you just have to block it community-by-community.

  • Could we add a date to the titles going forward, rather than numbering them? I was attempting to start this weekly discussion myself, and have been posting it on Sundays for the last few weeks, but I'd be happy to cede to this thread from you if you'd like, @quinten@lemmy.world

  • Brave will not add Web Integration support
  • Container Tabs sounds so useful, but fair warning to anyone else looking to check it out... I think it's kinda buggy. My sessions got all fucked up when I tried using it. I ended up removing it entirely and just going without.

  • Google is already pushing Web Environment Integrity into Chromium
  • I use it daily. It’s my default browser, but it ain’t perfect. Most recently, it was an interactive map for Diablo IV that would never work on Firefox. After an update it started working, but that’s just the most recent example.

  • What have you been playing and what do you think of it? 7/16/23

    This is a topic I enjoyed seeing over at the other place, so I thought I'd try to get it going here if people are interested.

    Why devs consider Baldur’s Gate 3 anomaly, not new standard for RPG genre: “It’s Rockstar-level nonsense for scope”
    gameworldobserver.com Why devs consider Baldur’s Gate 3 anomaly, not new standard for RPG genre: “It’s Rockstar-level nonsense for scope” | Game World Observer

    A few weeks prior to its launch, Baldur’s Gate 3 looks like one of the most promising RPGs in recent memory. However, some devs are urging players not to rate all other games in the genre by such a high standard, appealing to Larian Studios’ unique combination of vast experience and resources.
