Welcome!

As a longtime android user, thank God they’re finally listening and focusing on the most important problems!!!

CrypticCoffee , to linux_gaming in Gamingonlinux is introducing his presence on Mastodon in a relatively funny way.

The joke has probably gone over my head, but great to see.

joe ,

If you haven’t played half life 2 you should stop what you’re doing right now and do that.

CrypticCoffee ,

Not a fan of AAA and don’t like FPS. Played 20 mins of Halo and it wasn’t for me.

Edit: wrong game, still point stands.

@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Halo is a totally different game though…

CrypticCoffee ,

You don’t get a gun and shoot people?

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Mostly no. And anyways that’s the same as saying that all sports that include a roughly sphere shaped prop are the same.

Beardsley ,

Hey if yous got a problem with sports ball, yous got a problem with me.

CrypticCoffee ,

Your balls disappoint me.

Beardsley ,

Mom?

My brother. They are no where near the same game. I understand not liking first person but halo and half life are not comparable past first person.

There’s a reason Valve can’t make a third and it’s because 2 can’t be topped.

CrypticCoffee ,

My mistake. Still FPS? Still get gun, shoot folk?

poVoq ,
@poVoq@slrpnk.net avatar

Rarely. Most of the time you have some sci-fi anti-gravity contraption to throw objects at alien monsters.

HerzogVonWiesel ,

I mean if you want to simplify those two, lets go a step further: Its no different from the games you actually like to play: click, see flashy lights!

CrypticCoffee ,

RTS, survival or factory games are very different. I get that AAA went nuts on FPS and it made money, but it doesn’t mean it is all of gaming. Fortunately indie games companies are killing it right now.

676 ,
@676@lemmy.ca avatar

Haha this must be a troll gotcha 😂

CrypticCoffee ,

No. You do realise there is lots of gaming genres? I understand it isn’t obvious if you have been gaming 10 years and only play AAA.

676 ,
@676@lemmy.ca avatar

Yep a troll. A rude one at that.

CrypticCoffee ,

Absolutely not. You call me a troll and then call me rude? Getting bashed for not knowing a FPS game then getting bashed for it is really something. Check my first post, it was positive despite not knowing the reference.

If you don’t expect there to be frustration when franchises like Bullfrog got swallowed and killed and folk don’t want to play the only types of genres being pushed?

Are we not free to like what we like?

Can we not have a different opinion…

Oh gosh, is this reddit again?

676 ,
@676@lemmy.ca avatar

Ok troll, calm down or maybe follow your own words and go back to Reddit. Never did I bash you for not knowing the game, I bashed you for comparing it to halo and then subsequently saying all fps are the same.

We can have different opinions you’re the one attempting to attack me bud. All I am telling you is halo and half-life shouldn’t be compared past the fact that they are played in first person. Which is what I said in my first comment.

And yes you are fucking rude as shit assuming a bunch of bullshit. Condescending little troll baby

CrypticCoffee ,

A troll is someone that disagrees with you? You’ve been in echo chambers too long, buddy.

For people that don’t like FPS won’t see differences, those that love it, they all seem different… Can you not accept that people won’t like your favourite games? Not very tolerant, no?!

I didn’t attack you, I attacked the gaming industry and the the view that everyone should know FPS. You’re a little defensive.

Swearing and insulting me. If only you could look in the mirror. You’re the rudest person I’ve come across here yet. Congratulations.

676 ,
@676@lemmy.ca avatar

Ok troll. Just don’t engage with me, condescending fragile little troll baby.

CrypticCoffee ,

Done with you. You’re clearly a prick and ironically a troll.

Being nice doesn’t cost you anything, child.

676 ,
@676@lemmy.ca avatar

Haha again with the condescending comments.

LinyosT ,

Bro just go back to reddit. Do yourself a favour,

myersguy ,

if you have been gaming 10 years and only play AAA.

Half Life 2: A 2013 classic.

CrypticCoffee ,

We’re 2024 already?

The point was more about AAA only seem to be pushing FPS nowadays.

myersguy ,

We’re 2024 already?

So we are. That kind of makes the 10 year statement a little more silly, no?

Half Life 2 is just shy of being 20 years old.

Anyways, I enjoyed how old you made me feel with this comment 😅

CrypticCoffee ,

How am I supposed to know that if I don’t follow the genre? Someone said 2013, I trusted that information.

“I don’t follow FPS” “As if you didn’t know this FPS trivia”

People who like to shoot polygons repeatedly are a little tetchy.

myersguy ,

I understand you are in other arguments in this thread. This wasn’t meant to be one of them. I just got a kick out of you using “10 years”, “nowadays” etc for a game that is 20 years old.

It’s the same energy as these kinds of memes https://lemmy.simpl.website/pictrs/image/d0f255f3-c51e-473d-844d-34cb61dd58dd.jpeg

CrypticCoffee ,

Ha, fair point. Loved Ocarina of Time. Oh gosh. I’m old.

joe ,

To each their own! The story and design of HL2 still holds up for me, but at it’s core the mechanics are indeed FPS. If that’s a no-go, it’s unfortunate, but understandable.

absentthereaper ,
@absentthereaper@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Iunno, man. I am an old-school FPS head; but I’d never recommend a playthrough of HL2 to anyone who hadn’t before because it really just feels like a tech demo with bare connective tissue for story. HL1? Black Mesa? Yeah, sure; but not 2.

joe ,

Agree to disagree on HL2.

HL1/Black Mesa also excellent though.

messem10 ,

Its basically the intro to the original Half-Life game. If you haven’t I’d highly suggest playing the original or getting Black Mesa which is a remake of the original by a third-party company but with Valve’s blessing to do so.

CrypticCoffee ,

Not my cup of tea. Preferred RTS etc. Not really bothered other than GoldenEye, Quake 2 and a little timesplitters with friends. FPS doesn’t interest me.

Octorine ,

I hate FPS games. They’re probably my least favorite genre. I really enjoyed HL2.

Although, I was playing through the series to get ready for Alyx, so that may have colored my perception.

cyanarchy ,

My brother in Christ you are talking about games that came out over twenty years ago.

CrypticCoffee ,

Yes, and since then there has not been one FPS that has interested me, so why would I know the intricate details of them?

GreenCrush ,
@GreenCrush@lemmy.world avatar

Must suck to be you I guess.

CrypticCoffee ,

Not at all. Shooting things with guns repeatedly is somewhat boring to me.

FrancisFeliz ,

You are a rare person, who does’nt like a hood FPS shooter?

doglips ,

This is the intro to Half-Life 2, but the original and Black Mesa are great games as well.

It's a parody of Dr. Breen's "Welcome to City 17" speech from the start of Half-Life 2. If you've never played Half-Life 2, then it's a very, very, very strong recommend from me.

Guncle , to mildlyinfuriating in The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

Don’t forget another $20-$30 for popcorn and drinks!

ABCDE ,

That’s why you take your own snacks or just do without. Tickets are very rarely these prices.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

It’s hard to get away with taking your own popcorn. Especially if you also need a microwave.

Old house held in trust by the city of Portland.

jubilationtcornpone ,

Not a house. Old public restroom and storage. That according to the link you posted.

Madison420 ,

Sure, it’s still called a house which can also mean [out]house, in this case I think it’s a playful name.

Good for Lemmy.

MrFlamey , to mildlyinfuriating in The price of a cinema ticket in this day and age. No wonder people aren't going to the cinema anymore.

Nah, it’s not that it’s gotten more expensive, it’s that most of the films are shit or otherwise unsatisfying. Maybe a combination of the two? :)

Of the films I’ve seen at the cinema recently, the last one I remember really enjoying was Joker (which is not even recent), and the most recent one I mostly enjoyed, but then it had a shit cliffhanger ending instead of feeling like a complete film in its own right. I was literally saying to my friend before the film started that Dune pissed me off because of the absolutely shit ending, and then the same fucking thing happened. I don’t go to the cinema and pay $15-20 for the ticket to come out feeling like I watched half a season of some Netflix show. I could have a month of Netflix for the same money, watch what I want at my own convenience and pause/rewind if I need the toilet or want to check something.

I still like going to the cinema, but I feel like the movies have got to be more varied, more surprising, and fucking end properly instead of teasing a second part in a fucking year. I would love it if they were more respecting of my time and didn’t run on for three fucking hours too. I’d love more movies like Terminator 2 where there is zero fluff and the whole thing ends in 2 hours? That’s what the cinema is for!
