dino , in Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs

Artifact, Heroes of the Storm etc. those are not success stories of recent Valve.

smeg ,

HotS is a Blizzard game, Valve has DOTA2

dino ,

facepalm I truly mixed that in my brain. But Valve also has this Dota Chess Game, right? Not sure if you would count that as a success though, have totally lost track of it.

smeg ,

I’ve not played Half Life Alyx but people seemed to like it. And let’s not forget the huge success of the Steam Deck!

astrionic ,

You’re thinking of Dota Underlords, which was popular for a short time but then quickly got abandoned. I definitely wouldn’t count it as a success.

Just started the Talks Talos principle and have just found this thing!

I loved the vibes and exploring the area to find more riddles and become more confused :D

Sadly the game triggers my motion sickness :(

JohnOliver , (edited )

I had the same issue actually! I was looking for a sensitivity or dead zone setting when i fount their ‘motion sickness’ setting. It even has an auto option that guesses the best settings for you if you have issues with motion sickness ! It worked perfectly!

ComfortableRaspberry ,

Ooooh, this must be new. Then I’ll give it another try. Thanks a lot for this info <3

Nithanim ,

Pretty sure it is called The Talos Principle but glad you found this gem!

JohnOliver ,

Sorry… autocorrect seems to not know of talos 🤦‍♂️

Still catching up on the many Switch games I’ve missed over the years. Super Mario Odyssey, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, and Metroid Prime Remastered are getting lots of play. They are all excellent. Starlink gives me motion sickness though, so I have to limit that to 20–30-minute sessions.

Finally bought Death’s Door on Steam. At least for now it is challenging in a good way. But killing a boss and dying right after because one of their minions managed to hit me and then having to repeat the whole fight annoyed me more than once.

Hopped on path of exile with a friend. We’re slowing going through the acts and likely won’t get to mapping by the time the new league drops. It’s fine though.

Been messing around with Sky: Child of Light, that one mmo that is very reminiscent of journey made by the same people and got extremely frustrated. I ‘finished’ the game after getting stun locked, and proceeded to find some trials which required precise control of your character… Which is not a thing. Pressing jump doesn’t always work. The physics aren’t great, and the leeway for timings is much harsher than it needs to be. All in all, that was not the best experience. I ended up on the Farmville quest. First objective I could do alone, second one required another person. Third one needs 3 people…

It’s also the 8th anniversary of Egg Inc. and they have their annual event running. I managed to triple my earnings bonus in one day… Which is fairly significant.

I’m currently playing 2 games.

  1. Another Crabs Treasure. Currently, I’m at a point where I think I need to level up. Most enemies are nearly 1 shotting me. I think I need more vitality.
  2. Xdefient. Mostly just to have an FPS that I can jump into and play a few quick matches

I wanted to play Baldurs Gate 3 multiplayer with my wife, but couldn’t convince her. She really doesn’t like turn-based combat, and the game has too much dialogue for her taste…

So, we are now playing Palworld instead. It’s a lot of fun in multiplayer, but still quite grindy.

theangriestbird ,

aha you join the long list of gamers that tried and failed to get their partner into a Larian game.

lemba , in Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of July 14th

I’m still on Helldivers 2. This game hits my sweet spot of PvE shooting, grinding and time sink. The Updates keep coming and rumors say, a third species will be introduced soon…

Finished watchdogs 2And started watchdogs 1 with some mods. It’s my first time playing watchdogs and liking it so far!.

theangriestbird ,

what do you like most about it? is it hitting something unique, or is it just really nice open world “comfort food” gaming?

rolofox ,
@rolofox@lemmy.zip avatar

I had an itch for a GTA type of game, had watchdogs on my backlog. I started with WD2 it was the one I already had installed. I liked the idea of the world and that it was in San Francisco, came to like the characters and the astheric.

Now with WD1 im liking the new city and the story and gameplay is more serious that the second one. In this one it involves more gunplay.

theangriestbird ,

That makes sense! I haven’t played them, but I remember the marketing of WD1 having a more serious tone. It’s always nice when you have the perfect game to scratch a particular itch

comicallycluttered ,

There’s a jazz/soul radio station in the first game that has some real bangers as well if you’re into that.

Oh yeah have been paying attention to the music I really like it, they have some good songs that take me back.

I just finished Sonic the Hedgehog last evening and I’m trying to decide what I want to play next!

theangriestbird ,

i heard they made a sequel for that one. not many people know about it!

stargazingpenguin ,

Hmm, some of those little known games can be half decent sometimes! ;-) I do have Sonic 2, but I think I’m going to wait a bit. Even though I enjoy the games I’m not that good at them, so by the time I finished it I need a break!

theVerdantOne ,

I’m getting ready to play Sonic Delta, a Sonic 3 ROM hack that allows you to play all three Genesis sonic games back to back.

stargazingpenguin ,

Sounds interesting!

theangriestbird ,

hmmm that sounds intriguing…i wonder if it has any retroachievements? a surprising number of romhacks do have achievement sets. i want to check but the site is down rn 😭

SternburgExport , in hangin with the homies

floating in the air

Oh good, I thought that was something else. Like, you know, hangman?

theangriestbird OP ,

we all float down here, georgie

thingsiplay ,

You guys have a high hangability:

The quality of being hangable; suitability for hanging or suspension.

thingsiplay , in hangin with the homies

Did you write the alt text or is it from an AI? No offense, just curious, because Firefox added alt text analyzed by (local) AI.

theangriestbird OP ,

I’m writing them myself. Been trying to make a habit of it, at least over here on Beehaw.

thingsiplay ,

Very nice and descriptive! I wish more people (me included) would write (meaningful) alt text.

theangriestbird OP ,

thank you, i appreciate the acknowledgment! I think it’s also good for me to have this very minor barrier to posting, so i don’t just mindlessly flood beehaw with every meme i see elsewhere on the internet. lol

Lemmy should really add alt texts like Mastodon has

vithigar ,

You are a worm through time.

The thunder song distorts you.

Happiness comes.

White pearls, but yellow and red in the eye.

Through a mirror, inverted is made right.

Leave your insides by the door.

Push the fingers through the surface into the wet.

You’ve always been the new you.

You don’t want this to be true.
