  Depends on the game. I’m still a very long ways away from completing it, so please no spoilers, but Sonic Frontiers? They added enough to the open world that it’s fun to run around and do side stuff in. Pokemon Violet? The charm wore out quick enough, making the region feel way too empty compared to most other gens, so no. No clue on the DLC, but I imagine they’re similarly as empty and devoid of NPCs as well. Games like VoxeLibre on Luanti? Wouldn’t want it any other way!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Ever since the switch to 3D, I knew they would never look back. Biggest reason why fan games are so valuable to me. The only thing I like about the upper half gens (not including 5) are the pokemon (case by case and not including regionals) and the terastal mechanic, in terms of the games and their mechanics. Gens 6-9 I really don’t have almost any care for any of the important characters outside of the designs for characters/character art for characters like Geeta, Diantha, Brasius, Kiawe, and Rika. Those are pretty much the only characters who’s names I could even remember.

  That’s mostly due to, in my opinion, when I think they started absolutely dumbing and watering down the story and characters so they could start focusing on nostalgia baiting people to keep them coming back while also completely dumbing down exploration as well. I think two of the only characters from gens 6-9 I really care about were Lysander and Kiawe because I thought Lysander’s genocide plot was interesting enough and Kiawe only because of the episodes of the anime I saw (which is kinda cheating since the anime is where they put every ounce of character into 99.99% of all important NPCs).

  Pretty sure a large amount of fans would absolutely love returning to an older form, but good luck convincing Sintendo of anything without getting their corporate legal open secret stasi (lawyers) getting involved.

  Just got a legit copy of Dungeon Clawler and installed it on my deck and it’s definitely harder than the old version on my laptop. Also, I save scummed the heck out of Dokopon Kingdom on Dolphin over the weekend, until the point the CPU turned evil and finally caught up to me and caused my first death.

  I have also been enjoying Sonic Lost Worlds on 3DS (first playthrough), while also having tried a couple levels on PC and I don’t know whether it’s my PC or what, but it’s pretty much the only game I could recommend the console version over the PC version despite absolutely HATING the special stages because of how trash the motion controls and movements are in my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite indie game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  One of my all time favorites right now is Brok The Investigator.

  It’s a game by French company COWCAT Games that is describes as a point and click beat’em-up game. Has lots to do because there are multiple endings. It has a free visual novel made to essentially showcase a vn engine that can be used to make BTI fan games or your own creations and has an upcoming DLC (apparently only gonna be $9.99) that focuses more on the combat side of the game.

  It’s currently available on PS4/5 (vita planned but scrapped), xbox (don’t know if they mean one and series x/s or just series), switch, steam, itch(dot)io, and even epic if you hate yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite indie game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  With the amount of content the main game of Baba Is You comes with, alongside the level editor and custom modded level packs people have made for it, would 100% recommend it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favorite indie game?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Finding Paradise is absolutely an amazing game. Would absolutely recommend a blind playthrough of it, or at least a no-commentary walkthrough if nothing else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just wait 3 months after switch 2 releases. If you already have a gaming computer, I can almost guarantee that you’ll be able to play launch titles at 10-20fps on an emulator, so long as sintendo do such a piss-poor job of antipiract measures in their consoles (like they’ve always done).

  For AI bots, yeah maybe, but that sure as hell ain’t gonna work on a real person who is using deepfake tools to fake their appearance for a live video call.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Age of Realtime Deepfake Fraud Is Here⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely wild stuff, but definitely not unexpected. Scammers gonna scam, just now they have some of the greatest tools to scam people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 27th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Tried getting the gyro on my Steam Deck to work with Dolphin, but no such luck. So I’m back to playing Pokemon Rejuvenation. I think the only other games I have played recently are Plants vs Zombies: Reflourished, Backpack Hero, and Fire Emblem Heroes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably not the answer you thought, but succeed by knowing there are wild animals that could easily kill me. It’s either I die by that, or wait until the lack of my blood thinners kills me, sl I’d definitely take the quicker death than the slower one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I got no clue if this would count as something you’d be into, but I’ve been having fun with Skyblock Zero on Luanti.

  Idon’t know how quickly you could finish it considering I play purposefully inefficiently, but it’s a space themed with a quest line to follow where the only limited resource is your time. Spawn on a voxel, keep clicking to gain resources, and build out from there. So far one of my only gripes is storage in the game is only drawers instead of chests, so I constantly have machines and my inventory filled.

  Can attest to liquor being cheaper in some states. My parents have crossed state lines in order to do things and they can get not only cheaper liquor but also slightly cheaper gas across state line as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 20th⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Way too much Pokemon Rejuvenation. Basically the overwhelming majority of what I’ve been playing that isn’t PVZ Reflourished and fire emblem heroes on my phone on the bus too and from college.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're on the wrong timeline!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The computer itself? Safe! The dangerous AI XANA? Absolutely would destroy the climate. Literally was overcharging a power cylinder thing in order to send a powerful enough charge to a nuclear power plant in order to cause nuclear fallout in one episode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know if it was ever announced to be in development and existed in any form outside of being told there was going be 3 games, but would absolutely love to have seen what the 3rd Sonic book game would have been like. I still need to play the Black Knight game, but would absolutely hop on board the 3rd if it existed.

  That, and would absolutely LOVE if Sega uncanceled the Riders series. Best racing game series to ever exists in my opinion. Too bad the 3rd game sucked so hard it caused the beautiful rose that is the Riders series to wither away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨minecraft alternative for windows and android⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I don’t think there are any besides Luanti. The rest are pretty much all just closed source mc rip-offs/probably malware/microtransaction filled clones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 13th⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just saw a video on Blue Prince earlier. Would totally love to play it but I saw someone play through the demo enough to where I feel spoiled enough to not wanna play it because I know I’d probably just cheat. Probably a game I’d pick up in a few years, after I’ve forgotten it, similar to Baba Is You, which I’ve been stumped on certain levels of recently.

  Otherwise I’ve mostly been absolutely addicted to Pokemon Rejuvenation because of debug mode making the game a lot more fun. Absolutely would not recommend it if you don’t like long pokemon games or edgier stories in your pokemon.

  Same thing with Feudal Tactics on my phone/laptop. Very simple game. You have a map made up of coloured tiles. Six different colours. Two or more of the same make a city/kingdom(?). Get resources by having/taking over more connected tiles, buy/upgrade people, conquer land, defeat everyone else.

  I have a feeling that no matter who is in charge, we’ll either see that or a large emphasis put on keeping tabs on them. Either way, it would be a nasty situation for everyone involved.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Saw a video on this earlier and it really makes me think we’re absolutely nowhere near an AI being able to generate a full-on or even a partially playable video game in real time any time soon, much to the dismay of the tech/AI bros.

  Also, they talk about making old games portable as though you can’t just boot up a game like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger on an emulator like PCSX2 or Dolphin on a device like a Steam Deck anything similar, all without needing powerful enough systems to run a whole extremely in depth simulation of our universe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely a fun way to play Hitman. Definitely makes the game so much more fun, especially if you are playing on a crowded map and are trying to take out every single person possible without dying on harder difficulties.

  We don’t need stealth where we’re going!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not AkatsukiLevi, but probably just finish the enemy waves as fast as possible, followed by tearing everything down and rebuilding for maximum efficiency since you can always leave and come back without ever having to worry about enemies after clearing a level*.

  *assuming there isn’t a feature where enemies can respawn and retake levels that I haven’t reached far enough to find exists

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I can get it working, I will absolutely use debug mode on pokemon fan games because it saves me time not to have to do things like going back for healing my party, grinding to a certain level defeating bosses I’m not supposed to using cheated in legendaries, etcetera.

  Definitely not developer intended, nor am I sure this would count for an intended answer to the question. Otherwise, I cannot think of any other answers to this question.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The way I see the root kit anticheat situation is that because Valve has their own Linux based OS, these companies making anticheat are probably going to end up tailoring it to whatever kernel Valve (or whatever the biggest/most widely used distro made by a large game corporation) uses to ensure people aren’t cheating.

  With a kernel that can be swapped out for another with varying degrees of difficulty, why wouldn’t they just tailor their work to whatever the biggest corporate game company supporter of Linux is using? If SteamOS (or any other distro made by maybe someone like EA, heaven forbid) ends up becoming what these anticheat devs see as the defacto Linux distro for gaming, I guarantee they’ll probably just focus all their efforts on making sure SteamOS (or whatever it ends up being) works as best they can and hanging out everyone else to dry.

  A real “Wanna run the latest CoD (or something similar) on your device? Make sure you use the kernel we say you have to use!” kinda situation is what I foresee happening.

  There’s also an OpenBSD song with a few lines of lyrics that I think could sum up what could (and sadly most likely will) happen, in metaphorical Odyssey kind of way:

  Corporate monsters, many closing passages\ Tempting harpies\ 13 years of treachery

  Though it’s definitely going to be more than 13 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …all the IT savvy are switching people over…

  Totally feels strange because my dad’s laptop doesn’t have the TPM requirement and he was telling me about how he was talking to the IT guy at his work about possibly switching to Linux just so he can keep his laptop. Absolutely insane because I might not be the only person in my house using it anymore (android not included because I view it as a completely separate entity).

  I was telling him that day that I could flash Mint (have the most recent addition on my laptop) to a thumb drive if he was actually wanting to switch over. He’s definitely an average computer user, so nothing too special, but it still feels real weird.

  Though this will also suck for a while because the tech savvy people helping them switch over will also be running IT for these people who have never used Linux before and most likely have never even used windows CMD either. Cannot wait for stories of people being fed up because their parent/aunt/uncle/friend/whoever looked up how to fix their device and entered the cursed rf command without thinking once about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Plan on, if possible, cloning my account to a new account on a new internal drive (preferably a 2TB+ drive) to save all my stuff that I want and don’t feel like moving over due to laziness. Then on another partition, I plan on having the rest of the space being used for Linux. All I gotta do is make sure the win10 partition doesn’t receive an ounce of Internet connectivity at all and pray I don’t end up with a virus or something similar somehow (because even the safest internet practices aren’t safe enough anymore).

  Hopefully I can turn that partition into a cold partition where I can keep the current games I have that aren’t downloaded through Steam installed to ensure I can still play them. Then I can slowly debloat it by uninstalling everything I don’t need on there and get rid of a ton of files/unnecessary programs so that way I can still have roughly 500-600GB for win10 just in case I ever need it for anything, like a program I genuinely cannot figure out how to get working on Linux.
