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 5 weeks 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! 1 month 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…

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.

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

So 3 years? How long did that take epic? About the same time almost 2 decades later?
- Comment on Steam keeps on winning 5 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 5 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? 5 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.

Saving this. It looks great.
- Comment on Have you tried Sea of Stars? 7 months 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] 7 months ago:
DotA 2 is definitely at the top
For the other two slots it would be something between Portal, Witcher 3 and NieR Automata.

You can also just not buy the game if it has micro transactions. It’s the same V logic

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
- Comment on What game has a great story and is worth the time investment? 9 months ago:
Bladur’s gate 3 is awesome but if you can wait, do so and you will have a much more seamless experience in the near future once more patches come out.
My recommendation is the following.
NieR Automata. It’s a masterpiece of a game with innovation all over the place. Trust me, it’s much more of a JRPG with some hot chicks. Go in blind and you will have an amazing experience.
On a similar note, Death Stranding. The story is less cohesive and honestly as a game it isn’t as good either but I still maintain that it is a game that everyone must try at least once. It’s not one of the best games I’ve played, by far but I am 100% happy that I played it.
Last recommendation is Hades. Flawless game with incredible amounts of polish.
P.S. all these games have AMAZING soundtracks

I’m halfway through RDR2 and the gameplay is boring af. Ok not all gameplay, mostly the quests. The world is amazing, and it’s quite immersive indeed but 90% of the quests are, go here, shoot some guys, come back.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 04-09-2023 9 months ago:
Playing BG3 with my gf. We’re having a blast.
Alone I’m playing Motorsport Manager. And old game and nothing like football manager that I played a lot in the past. It’s not great, it’s basic and I know I will only do a couple of seasons but it has been keeping me up at night and going to bed late so that counts as something. I’m definitely having fun and it’s a chill game.
A couple of months ago I was playing RDR2 but I stopped about halfway and haven’t gone back to it. The game is ridiculously good looking and the world is great but honestly the gameplay is such a slog. Most quests are basic af. I wonder how it got this much praise tbh
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 9 months ago:
Definitely get a decent 1440p monitor with high refresh rate and GSync and then you are set. If you get it used it probably won’t even be that expensive (that’s how I got mine around 2 years ago).
Monitors last a long time so it’s not something that you will just toss, and a 3070 with 1080p is such a waste imo
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 9 months ago:
I mean you have a 3070 with a 1080p monitor. It would be a failure if any game didn’t run well on those specs. 1440p is more logical setup. 4K a challenging one.
- Comment on Starfield Launch Details, PC Specs & More 9 months ago:
Honestly if you don’t have an SSD save 50$ and get one. Especially for crappier pcs it’s the most significant upgrade you can do and not even for gaming. 10 years ago SSDs were somewhat niche. They were expensive as well. Now I won’t even touch a computer without one basically.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty - Gameplay Trailer | gamescom 2023 10 months ago:
I could have lived with the bugs and poor performance, but the game was shallow af and very much different from what we were sold for years.
It was basically the we have X at home meme, but with a meta twist.

DOS 1 is also good but obviously the second one is better
