Another week another thread. Whatcha y’all playing? And why is it Baldur’s gate 3?

I’ve been thinking about the PS1 game ‘Driver’ a lot recently. It’s a game I spent a lot of time on during my youth, and whilst I’m sure it doesn’t hold up some 20 years later, it was still a highlight from my ‘gaming youth’....

Looking to get some games on my mint setup

What games do you play? Who do you play with?...

Is anybody aware of lemmy communities similar to r/dragonage on reddit?...

So I realise I’m probably a dumbass, but I’m not sure in exactly which way yet. I bought an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU in mid 2020, but looking online I see the cards under that name weren’t released until 2022, and the specs look different??...

To preface, this post isn’t a bash on gaming. I’ve been gaming since I was 3 years old on the NES. It was (and still is) a part of my life. That said, while I turned out ok in the end, I would play games every free moment I had. I’ve spent thousands of hours in World of Warcraft during the TBC-WotLK era. My pattern would...

Just thought I’d share something I thought was pretty interesting. I have a mother in law who is… well let’s just say she’s a stereotypical older mom who doesn’t own a computer, just an iPad. During the pandemic, she started getting into Nintendo games and bought herself a Switch. Fast forward a few years later and...

This is not a criticism - I love how much attention this game has been getting. I’m just not understanding why BG3 has been blowing up so much. It seems like BG3 is getting more attention than all of Larian’s previous games combined (and maybe all of Obsidian’s recent crpgs as well). Traditionally crpgs have not lit the...

I was interested in buying a Steam Deck… Until I discovered all the (apparently) better alternatives. Asus Rog Ally, OneXPlayer, Aya Neo etc… I like the idea of an handheld console and obviously I would like to have a device that can run almost everything, so the Windows based handhelds seem better than the Steam Deck. Is it...

Forgot to post this yesterday oops :)...

I’ve been closely studying dialogue and cinematography in video games lately. Try to detach the dialogue system from the dialogue. What’s the best? Was it technically multiple systems or just one?

In the mid 2000s I had a few sites that I would occasionally get save games from but I cannot recall what they were and I’m not sure they would have survived in the same way ROMhacking.net did....

Please Give Me Some Alternatives to Genshin Impact and Spider-Man (PS4) on PC/Android...

I’ve had a great time playing some of the ‘smaller’ games lately: Dredge (adore this game so much), Dave the Diver, Cloudpunk, Stray, Octopath II, Observer....

At some point in this millenium, it became ubiquitous in games to ask for a button press before switching to the main menu and it has become a pet peeve off mine....

Long, long ago I had a battle.net account with one of the physical authenticator tokens. A year or so ago, the battery died in it. I’m trying to recover my account but can’t find a way to contact blizzard to remove the old authenticator without having it functional....

Long story short: I am absolutely inexperienced with Linux distros but made the switch from Windows a bit more than a year ago. Right now, everyone’s talking about Baldur’s Gate 3, including a lot of the podcasts and shows I follow: since I never experienced the OG games, I wanted to try them out. They were on sale on GOG,...

Our clan, ‘Drink to the Dead’, has been in the works for a year prior to the launch of Diablo 4....

Hi, everybody! Sorry for the rant!...

I played GoT on release and right after Sekiro, thinking it would be A similar game....

Hey all! Another weekly thread is here....
