Oh yeah, I didn’t even think about shaders, though fortunately that wouldn’t bother me too much. I like real time shadows and reflective water, but I seem to be in the minority in thinking that most other shader effects are ugly outside of screen archery.

Ooh, AotBT. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. Never played it though, I’ve unfortunately come to really appreciate a lot of the conveniences of modern versions, and despite growing up on older versions of MC, I’m not sure if I’m ready to go all the way back to 1.6 lol.
- Comment on Palworld v1.0 - Official Release Changelog 1 day ago:
Yeah, if you don’t like the open world survival crafting genre then you’re probably not going to like the open world survival crafting game Palworld. What’s the point of your comment exactly? You know they’re not going to jump ship to a completely different genre right at full release.
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 1 week ago:
Mortal Kombat: Deception. Honestly, fighting games are one of my least favorite genres nowadays. But as a very young kid (way too young to be playing MK lol), it was a lot of fun.
I always got my ass kicked by my older siblings, so I preferred taking turns in the story mode over playing against other people. Probably one of the reasons I strongly prefer co-op and PvE games even today, now that I think about it.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 week ago:
How can a game be a game when…
Well tbf, just about anything can be a game that will appeal to someone. Somebody could make a game about exactly what you described without hyperbole (like driving around and going shopping or something), call it “daily chore simulator”, and it’d probably sell surprisingly well lol.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 week ago:
I’m not at all surprised to see the “not interested” and “wait for a sale” options being massively ahead on Lemmy. Though it’d be interesting to see how different the “not interested” crowd would be if the option were split into “not interested at all” and “interested but wont buy for political/moral reasons”.
The comments here imply most would vote for the second option, but I’m in the first camp myself. I’ve never been interested in any of the GTA games.
- Comment on Single player games 1 week ago:
Competitive multiplayer games are a big no, but I love cooperative multiplayer games. I’d much rather play one of them with a friend or two than play something by myself. I couldn’t tell you the last time I’ve actually beaten a single player game, I tend to get bored and lose interest half way through.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2026 Has Begun 2 weeks ago:
with mods other than just skyui for the first time this time
Congrats, you are well on your way to becoming the type of person that spends 6 weeks making a skyrim modlist instead of playing the game, launching it for 15 minutes to make sure everything works, and then losing interest in the game after a day or two.
I recently found out about a mod called Sentinel, and holy hell is it exactly what I needed to actually enjoy the cool looking but blatantly overpowered Creation Club armors.
- Comment on Am I just bad at games??? 2 weeks ago:
Cassette Beasts took me about 40 hours to beat and close to 60 hours to fully 100% (though I did play on the hardest difficulty, which slows the game down A LOT). You’re just taking your time and that’s fine.
I personally didn’t experience any crashes or incredibly long loading times… it ran just fine for me. What are you playing it on?

Believe it or not, the people complaining about it care.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Not everybody knows you shouldn’t fill up your hard drive completely. If someone doesn’t explicitly mention it, its safer to assume they don’t know so that you don’t accidentally give them advice that harms their drive. And no, saying play space instead of space (especially when your title just says 20 gb left) does not count as explicitly mentioning it. You never mention having room to spare or even knowing the difference.
It’s clear now that you probably do, so all you needed to do was say “don’t worry I know” or even just ignore the advice entirely. I don’t know why you’re being annoyed by people for not having the info you failed to provide them.
- Comment on Life Is Strange 1 month ago:
Are we talking about the original Life is Strange? The thumbnail shows the newest game, Reunion, but I’ll assume that’s their website being dumb and we’re talking about the original. I absolutely loved it when I played it years ago, and I loved the way it made me feel powerless when my powers suddenly didn’t work. Like with Kate… I didn’t pay attention to or help her the first time I played, and I eventually replayed the game just to change that. If you haven’t played chapter 5 yet, you’re in for a treat.
I want to play through it again and 100% it at some point. Though to be honest, idk if that will ever happen, I suck at finishing new games let alone ones I already know the ending to. Maybe I’ll give the remastered version a shot or something. There’s several other games in the series, and aside from True Colors and Reunion, which I have not played, I enjoyed them all to some extent, though not as much as the original.

I’ve never seen a car like that before… it looks like a big cat of some kind.
- Comment on Any good indie games on steam? Can be any genre. 1 month ago:
For a few years now, Phasmophobia has been a game my friend and I like to play for a few hours each weekend. But they recently came out with a disappointing and terrible update, and its pushed us to try out some Phasmo “clones”.
The Other Side is the one we’ve had the most fun playing over the past few weeks.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
I think survival games are the type of game that are infinitely more fun with a friend or two to play along with. As long as said friends are the cooperative type and not the type that gets upset over having stuff taken from their chest. Being able to split up the grind and show off your accomplishments or frankly terrible builds to friends always makes them a lot more fun to play. They also just tend to be pretty laid back experiences usually despite their genre’s name, so it gives plenty of room to just chat.

I mean don’t get me wrong, the stories don’t tend to be anything crazy, and they’re basically never the center of the game. Like, you’re not going to find a story on par with The Witcher 3 in an idle game. They’re usually just there to give a justification as to why you’re doing things, and in some games it’s pretty obvious that the gameplay was designed first and the story was more of an afterthought.
I don’t mind that personally, I’ve never been one to seek out games just for their story.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
Bit of an irrelevant metric if you’d ask me. Best-selling game of all time run by owner of both Windows and Xbox has bigger numbers than indie title, color me surprised. I’m not arguing that Minecraft is unpopular or that it doesn’t allow for near unlimited creativity. It’s one of my favorite games. I was just naming a couple of other incredibly popular games like you asked.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
Terraria just had its 15th year anniversary less than a week ago and is more popular than ever. World of Warcraft is still popular as well.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
Not everyone’s looking for a story or skill development when they play games. Sometimes you want to just turn your brain off for a bit and enjoy the dopamine. Plenty of clickers and idlers have actual stories regardless. As for RSI, most “clickers” don’t actually have you clicking much past the very early game anyway. It’s almost always automated.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
Now to be fair to other survival games, 7 days to die is just a terribly made game imo. They’ve been consistently dumbing it down and straying further from a zombie apocalypse every update. Nowadays zombie dogs look more like wendigos, and for a while they had literal yetis and plague spitting mummies in the game until they got a lot of shit for it and had to retexture them into proper zombies. I’ve got 900 hours in the game and I just can’t touch it anymore, it’s no longer fun.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
I mean sure, but aside from having the same goal you aren’t really interacting with them in my experience. They’re basically just people you share points with rather than proper team mates.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
I don’t even like deck builders but I gotta disagree with you were. I mean sure, if its a poker game like Balatro I could see it. But how is Slay the Spire gambling? That’s like calling DnD-like games simulated gambling because everything is decided through a dice roll.
- Comment on What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ? 1 month ago:
That’s a hard question. There’s tons of popular games I personally couldn’t stand but can still see the appeal of, like Baldurs Gate 3. But something I just can’t understand? I guess my best answer would be basically any purely PvP game.
I get something like a hero shooter where there’s cooperation and team play involved. But I’ve never understood how people get more than 15 minutes of fun in games like multiplayer CoD.
- Comment on First Skywind progress video since 2024 2 months ago:
Did you even watch the video? Skywind definitely is a major graphical upgrade from the original Morrowind. Is it going to be the most beautiful thing ever made? No, but compared to the original Morrowind or the elden ring mod, it looks fucking amazing.
But Skywind isn’t just a graphical overhaul. They’re completely remaking the game, with new SFX, voice acting, etc. The projects are on such a different scope and scale that they’re hardly even comparable.
- Comment on First Skywind progress video since 2024 2 months ago:
That’s pretty cool. But Skywind is on a completely different scale.
- Comment on I made a spreadsheet of my 20 year old Pokemon Sapphire team 2 months ago:
Mightyena’s pre-evolution is called Poochyena. Theyr’e based on both a wolf and a hyena so your nickname works fine.
Picking pokemon based on vibes is still the best way to play imo! I either only use pokemon I think look neat or pokemon I don’t hate but haven’t used before. Of course I use some strategy, like I’m not going to make a party of 5 grass types and a steel type and then wonder why the fire gym is kicking my ass. But as long as I have some form of type coverage, I’m happy to pick whatever pokemon interests me.

Nah, I think Z-A megas as a whole get too much hate. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of stinkers, but many of them genuinely look good, certainly no worse than other megas. Absol Z, Chandelure, Chesnaught, Delphox, Dragalge, Emboar, Falinks, Golisopod, Magearna, Meowstic, Scolipede, & Scrafty… plus Golurk & Skarmory, which you said look bad. I think ALL of these look good. Some of them I’d even call great.
A lot of the others suffer from trying too hard to fit some theme that doesn’t actually look good in the game. Like the two Raichu forms are intended to be shaped like an X and a Y (though I don’t hate the Y form). Feraligatr looks like a Totodile when its mouth closes. Dragonite is supposed to resemble the pre-evolutions with the wings, while also being a reference to an angel. Notably, most of these look pretty good in their concept art, but translate terribly into the actual flat-colored 3D game.

Despite the both of them being Pomeranians, they don’t actually like anything alike. Which tells me they didn’t steal Cassette Beasts’ homework here. Pomeranians aren’t exactly unpopular dogs, so it’s not even a little surprising Pokemon (a game with several other dog breeds) is adding one. It’s also where the both of them derive their names.
Though Pombomb is a significantly better name than Pombon.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I actually don’t think they would use AI for creature design. That’s like, their whole shtick at this point (I certainly don’t think anybody’s buying the games for the story), and I think Nintendo is smart enough not to risk the most important aspect of their games. I don’t think the starters even look that bad (aside from the bird) nor AI generated (including the bird). That said, I don’t doubt they’d use AI in almost any other aspect of the game.
Admittedly I haven’t seen any news about the game in like 2 months though, so I could be missing something.
