Been playing Melvor Idle, really great one that replicates old school runescape’s Skilling experience as an idle game. I also enjoy Impossible Dungeon quite a bit as well, top down auto dungeon crawler where you earn points to upgrade and customize a party for getting as far down a dungeon as you can and competing with other players in tournaments and dailies.

What’s the the unhelpful hostile attitude? Is it still 1996 where it’s cool to shit on people for not knowing everything about what they’re doing and call them “noobs”?

It’s hard to outrun that kind of human interaction anywhere that there are enough users and the anonymity of usernames, I do think it’s not as bad on the Fediverse still, I hope it stays that way

The hilarious thing about My house.wad is that if you go in without knowing anything about it there’s a relatively high chance you just complete the level normally and think “that’s it? weird that had so much hype”

Nothing about Lemmy would suggest people would like Epic anymore than any other place on the internet. Their exclusivity deals have the potential to upset anybody regardless of what website they post on, so while there’s absolutely a degree of hivemind hatred, it’s rooted in understandable reasons.

That being said, it’s disingenuous of that person to imply that Epic never gives any good reasons to use the platform, the biggest being the waves of free games they put on “sale” from time to time, though you could go down another rabbit hole of whether thats really something that would make gamers want to use the platform, or if it’s just a nice bonus people pop in to claim while still spending their money on Steam when it comes to actual purchases.

Was it like that when the game was fresh and you were getting into it in the beginning, or just after youd put the hours into it, and the novelty wore off?

It’s funnily enough part of why I continue to return to it. Competitive games as a service are too much, I dislike having to keep up with an ever inflating hero pool and a constantly changing Meta. I can just enjoy the gameplay polished to a sheen and the natural depth

For me, Fallout 3’s setting and atmosphere is more interesting to me. Plus nostalgia plays a much heavier aspect since it was my first Bethesda Fallout and the premise and mechanics of the world were more novel.

Gameplay wise 4 blows both of the others out of the water for me due to the addicting loop of collecting salvage and modifying equipment, along with the shooting finally becoming enjoyable in its own right.

Playing Heroes of the Storm vs AI, the Hitman WoA trilogy, Left 4 Dead 2, and Diablo 3 Hardcore. I can always chill on this stuff and know it’ll be a good time

Ooh, that’d have to be Monster Hunter for me. For a while it’s fun, then it becomes pain

Such a shame, I would’ve been more interested in this game, but the similarities to both Breath of the Wild and AC Odyssey meant the itches it scratched were already taken care of for me, and partially by the same publisher, too.

Go through the rest of the Deathbolt soundtrack for more of this style by Chris Christoudoulou, and then listen to the Risk of Rain 1 and 2 OSTs for a more prog rock style from him.

In terms of approachable jazzy ish OST, maybe Halo ODST’s OST, even though that’s way more downtempo. It’s hard to think of other music that hits exactly this level of chill, but energetic and inspired. Bluesy, but electronic.

In terms of an utterly standout OST that features some jazzy tracks you could check out Katana ZERO’s OST. there’s multiple composers there and so more genre variety but it’s an incredible soundtrack with a few jazzy pieces like Snow’s Theme or Rain on Brick or End of the Road, but there’s also more synthwave stuff on there that’s all just standout.

Awesome game. Awesome composer. Chris always makes bangin’ soundtracks

I’m so ready for the next Doot of Cally

Been playing through Borderlands 3. I always loved the pretense and style of the older ones, but the shooting just never felt good enough moment to moment to stick it out. This one’s finally got it and I’ve been enjoying my time, even though the characters and dialogue are funny at rare times, and mostly pretty terrible.

It’s more the tone, it’s respectable to say “it’s a bit outdated, but I’m not quite done using this phone yet, so I’m trying to explore other options for YouTube without a full upgrade”, a little less to say “… For a fuckin app bro, christ”.

The other person did have a pretty flat tone that you could interpret as blunt and uncaring, so as the internet tone police, I say everybody is going to jail here!

SWAT 4 is still an excellent tactical shooter the likes of which we don’t see anymore, short of Ready or Not, or Doorkickers, if you count that.

In terms of what OP wants to use it for, it’s free in all but name. Even after evaluation you only need to say “thanks I’ll buy it later” and the popup goes away, all features still work.

It’s that friendly approach and incredible price that got me to fully purchase it and buy into the ecosystem I’d then been long acquainted with. Would highly recommend Reaper. Agreed on the light amount of default plugins, but again for such a small, specific use case it should be more than fine

I’d also recommend REAPER, a full DAW just like Ableton, but the full feature set is free instead of a lite version, but Ableton’s a good one, too. I think OP would be harder pressed to find a program that specifically does that compared to just using a DAW that can easily do that and much more.

Vanquish, best “cover” shooter that I’ve ever played, really wish it’d get a Switch port and that Platinum would revisit it.

Sliding around on jets, going into slo mo to hit weak points, vaulting cover and initiating slomo, it’s all so fucking fun and visceral.
