• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silent but Deadly: I met some of my closest friends through multiplayer games. Then a strange happening turned everyone (literally) speechless.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rose colored glasses. I played the hell out of WoW for years from first release and onward. Chat was chaos and if you got invited to someone’s vent server there were usually some jerks. Pseudoanonymity made people brazen.

  I played a lot of competitive counter strike and it was the same. Constant trash talking or just nonsense spouting people. Any modern game I play with voice chat built in gets immediately disabled as soon as I start the game for the first time.

  Socializing can happen later after a few (positive) interactions but I dont have the mental energy to deal with random folks when I just want to unwind with a game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games have you put the most hours into?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Over time: probably Contra on the NES, Tetris and Bionic Commando on the GameBoy, Operation Wolf and Sinistar in the arcade. DOOM, Duke3d, and XEvil on the PC. CS 1.6 and CS:S in college. The Gears series on the 360.

  Then I had a decade or so gaming drought. More recently: Batsugun, Ketsui (Deathtiny and Death Label), Danmaku Unlimited 3, and Battlefield 2042.

  All my homies hate Nintendo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there Cozy shooter games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What about Extraneum? It’s cute as a button and very chill with plenty of things to shoot. It feels a bit like a modern wolfenstein since there aren’t any stairs. Gunplay feels nice and the secrets are rewarding. Plus between levels there are funny data discs to read.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TitanFall 2 at 3$⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.

  How long before Nintendo slaps a DMCA on this one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the elite offers a lot for that price. Swappable sticks and back paddles, trigger stops, multiple profiles, adjustable tension, etc. It’s basically an OEM “custom” controller.

  That being said, I like other controllers better than my elite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favourite controllers?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been enjoying the GameSir G7 for a while. It’s wired but I kind of prefer that. My first G7 had a faulty left stick in the first two months. I think it was faulty from the beginning but I just didn’t notice it. I sent them a video of the issue and they replaced it outright.

  It’s a bit smaller than my Xbox elite controller and it feels pretty great. I like the clicky dpad and the two back buttons. Stick tension is nice as well.

  I’d like to see trigger stops but they haven’t done that yet. I’d also like to have clicky face buttons so I’m considering one of their khaleid controllers. Those are minor nitpicks, though. This controller has been terrific.

  On android, lemuroid is pretty good for this sort of thing and you can change the arrangement of your nds/3ds screens.

  The distinction is irrelevant and “AI” is what businesses and normal folks call this stuff. Just like the age old arguments that the media should say something like “cyber criminals” instead of “hackers” or “cloud” is just other people’s computers. LLM, GNU/spicy-auto-correct, whatever. To the populous it’s all “AI”.
