- Comment on Joy & Curiosity 2 months ago:
Because our collective we is composed of many different people. You have brilliant scientific minds and genius artistic people and everyone in between. At the same time you have very empathetic people and others who would not hesitate to hurt someone for their gain.
Diversity is both a blessing and a curse.
- Comment on Currently downloading The Witcher 3 for the first time. Got any advice for me? 2 months ago:
As other folk said, definitely do get the DLCs. There’s a whole other game in there.
It’s been a while since I last played, and this game IS a masterpiece, no doubt about that, but the one of the first sections can be rough. Iirc it’s gloomy af, there’s some hard monsters in some quests that can be demotivating and the combat/mechanics takes some getting used to which makes the previous point worse. Just know that the game opens up and there’s a whole world out there.
There are tons of side quests which are great, so you should do those but also don’t feel like you need to do all of them. It can be easy to get side tracked and then lose steam and quit on the main story.
Especially because like I said the DLCs are amazing. They are also quite self contained so it’s like a breath of fresh air
Enjoy this amazing game. I’m jealous of you

I mean do you really have to suggest him that? He’s gonna get hooked like we all did
In any case W3 gwent is actually kinda crap in terms of balance but that just means you can own them super hard at some point

Keep up the good work
You will be one of the Lemmy legends in the future

DotA and Dota 2
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 2 months ago:
Isn’t it free up to a certain amount?
Also aren’t you able to create steam keys for free and resell them wherever you want and they won’t take a cut off those?

Let’s make it to 100 days!
- Comment on The Witcher 4 "won't focus on Geralt," but his voice actor says he'll at least be "a part" of the RPG sequel 4 months ago:
Yea, playing as a no name witcher, doing Witcher things would be cool af
- Comment on Endangered Species 6 months ago:
The murderer is the one doing the burying. This is so that other people don’t accidentally uncover the body.
Or at least that’s what my friend Steve tells me. I have no clue.
- Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter 7 months ago:
I played through the whole game with my gf and didn’t see nor read anything that would indicate that.
Regardless of if you play, solo or with up to 4 people there are 4 characters in your party. Your main character can be one of the predefined ones or not. You will probably have/want a mix of both.
First play through will take more than 100h and you will still have plenty to see for subsequent playtroughs. It’s literally impossible to see all of it first time regardless of how you play.
Just get it, it’s not just a GOTY, it’s one of the best games in a long while.
- Comment on Hades II is now available in Steam Early Access! 7 months ago:
Oh I loved Hades so I’ll be getting this very soon. Maybe once I’m done with Sekiro this will be the next I’ll play.
At this point I’ll never finish Nier Replicant…
- Comment on They just suffered a sudden death, that's all 9 months ago:
Why the fuck would he off himself just before I can actually testify against Boeing?? If he hadn’t managed to get the case to court or even after he had testified then I could see it, but this timing is suspicious AF. He could have died naturally and it’s just super bad timing but ain’t no way he killed himself at this point in time.
- Comment on Price of electricity in Finland peaks at 2.35€/kWh today. Keeping my tiny granny cottage warm costs me over 50 euros for a single day. It's negative 25C (77F) outside. 11 months ago:
There are heat pumps that exchange heat with the ground. Those can function well in more extreme temperatures. Also you could/should have alternative heating methods for extreme situations even if they are much more inneficient
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 11 months ago:
So 3 years? How long did that take epic? About the same time almost 2 decades later?
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 11 months ago:
Yea no
People complain because the EGS launcher is shit and not getting better in any meaningful way. Plus all the anti consumer shit that they do.
EGS didn’t come out last year. Heck GOG galaxy is fairly decent and it’s not even required and they have a fraction of the budget. And guess what a lot of people like and support them.
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 11 months ago:
I mean steam sucked for 8 years like 20 years ago. Technology wasn’t the same as it is. They revolutionized the pc gaming scene and I’d argue that even that Steam version was better than the current EGS version. Was it uglier? Yea maybe but it did the job. You could install, manage and launch your games, cloud saves and it wasn’t bloat or spyware. The Steam just kept getting better even if with a messy ui in some places. They do a ton of shit that generates them no direct profit but that makes using Steam a no brainer. And gamers respect and value that even if not all of them.
Heck I’m sure that they very quickly came up with a functional shopping cart at the very least.

Gabe is 61. Looking at the presidential candidates for the upcoming US election and it even looks young.
- Comment on What's up with Epic Games? 11 months ago:
Steam UI is messy but they have a ton of functionality in their store/system. Epic took ages to even get a functioning cart, Steam has tons of features which are not even tied to the games in their store like remote play and Steam VR. Family sharing is also really cool for example. Also Steam basically killed piracy for a long time due to amazing Steam sales + convenience of use.
- Comment on What are some helpful gaming websites you wish people knew? 1 year ago:
Saving this. It looks great.
- Comment on Have you tried Sea of Stars? 1 year ago:
I saw it the other day and it looked pretty interesting. RPG, turn based combat, multiple characters ticks a bunch of boxes for what me and my gf usually play but then I saw it doesn’t have coop/multiplayer. But it might come out soon so I will definitely get it when that happens. The game seems pretty cool and highly rated.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
DotA 2 is definitely at the top
For the other two slots it would be something between Portal, Witcher 3 and NieR Automata.
- Comment on This indie dev (Indie RPG Inkbound) is removing all microtransactions after noting that "player sentiment is trending against" them 1 year ago:
You can also just not buy the game if it has micro transactions. It’s the same V logic
- Comment on Russians queue up to see Barbie film despite sanctions 1 year ago:
I don’t think you understand how borders with Russia work
It’s not like the rest of Europe where you can have it split a table in a cafe or something.

Is there already an active lemmy community for Hades? If so I need the link asap.
Will get this day 1. Long time fan of supergiant games and Hades was a masterpiece so I’m excited to be part of Hades II from the start.

Still wish that they would ditch Epic entirely at least for EA but oh well.

I’m already waiting for a discount to buy the first game
