Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?
  • IronPineapple played through the demo of that one for a video a couple months ago. It seemed like an interesting game that was a mix of singleplayer and MMO elements. At first glance it'll look like a gooner game.

  • Autumn sale on now! 🦌🍁🍂
  • I just looked and there are some really good deals. The first Cities game is only $3, and the complete reboot collection of Tomb Raider games (including DLCs) is only $11

    I'm leaning toward the Tomb Raider games tbh

  • Is drawing furries profitable?
  • Nerds will pay for anything.

    Having worked the convention circuit for the past couple years, I'm not surprised. All it takes is one or two people with money to burn to make another person successful.

    An artist I've seen at other shows prices his canvas pieces in the high hundreds-low thousands, and people will pay for it.

    Hell, my brother makes costumes (for cosplay and production) and he sells his stuff for thousands. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into it of course.

  • The Witcher 4 has entered "full-scale production", CD Projekt confirms
  • Where are you getting this idea that American game devs all make the safest most harmless games possible?

    GTA is an American-made game franchise and it's one of the most violent and insulting mainstream titles ever, made by Rockstar, an American company.

    On the other side, Tt Games, which makes all the Lego titles of the past 20 years, is a UK-based dev studio. They're some of the safest, least offensive games ever made.

  • Xbox killing avatars on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
  • Plus the amount of bullshit customization meant you could make almost anything you wanted. Poofesure on YouTube's main Mii is named Beef Boss and his face looks like a hamburger.

    When the Check Mii Out channel was a thing, I remember spending hours there just looking at all the crazy characters people had made. Peter Griffin, Batman, I'm pretty sure I saw a Ninja Turtle at one point.

  • Walmart pulls back on DEI efforts, removes some LBGTQ merchandise from website
  • Unrelated, but I was shopping in a local Walmart a couple years ago, and they had one of their employees (who I assume was either a choir kid in high school or in a choir program at college) singing close to the front of the store. He sounded really good, I just thought it was weird Walmart was doing that. I think it was for some fundraiser or something.

  • Favorite Level?

    I was just wondering everyone's favorite level(s) were/are. You can explain why you like it, or you can just name drop the level you like most.

    Mine are probably:

    1. Assault on The Control Room, I love the big epic set pieces of the level, and it has probably the best/most "examples" of what Halo is as a game than any other in CE. You have big weapons, vehicles, large open battles, and awesome music.

    2. Delta Halo from Halo 2. I love the lush jungle setting and going through the underwater elevator is always fun. Plus I love just beating the hell out of Truth.

    3. Halo, from Halo 3. Like Assault on The Control Room, this level has it all

    Nat20 Saber "Custom"

    !

    I have a cool job that lets me travel around to different conventions, and I've been seeing these Nat20 Sabers folks at pretty much all of them. I finally decided to check them out, and it's actually pretty sweet!

    At their booth, they have a "forge" set up with different pieces so you can make your own custom hilt, then they put the electronics and all inside. The blade is extremely durable and can take a beating. They had a sign reading "free lightsaber battles" so people could mess around and try them out, and they encouraged them to hit them pretty hard.

    It has (I think) 9 different sound fonts, motion controls, color change, accelerometer so it reacts when you move it even just a bit which is actually very nice, clashing effects, blaster deflecting effects, a drag effect for some theatrical moments (like you're dragging it along the wall or floor), and saber locking effects.

    Overall it honestly just feels really nice, and it's decently lightweight as well so you can really swing it.

    My Headcanon For the Arkhamverse

    So I've been playing through all the Arkham games lately, and I had an interesting thought about the whole Arkhamverse as a storyline.

    I think the entire game series is based (loosely) on The Killing Joke story, with other major events, references, and storylines lifted from other Batman comics. I just think TKJ was used as a basis for the games' world.

    We see Joker's beginning with his flashback at the end of Arkham Origins, which is almost identical to his TKJ origin, as well as him crippling Barbara in that flashback during Arkham Knight (right down to the clothes he's wearing). The overall dark tone of the games lend to this theory, as well as Joker being shown just how sadistic he can be.

    What do you think?

    Add a "Jump to Comments" Button

    If it's at all possible. I just find it kind of annoying to have to scroll through super long posts just to get to the comments. Review threads for newly released games in some of the gaming communities are what prompted this idea lol.

    Edit: what the hell is going on with that account that keeps spamming nonsense?

    How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift?

    lemmy.world How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift? - Lemmy.World

    So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn’t matter if it’s first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it’s just comfortable to me.

    So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn't matter if it's first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it's just comfortable to me. However I've noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to "give out" over the course of a couple months. For instance I'll be pushing it forward all the way, but it won't register for some reason and my character will only move a little bit. Sometimes wiggling it a bit will fix it, sometimes it doesn't. And it's not like I'm squeezing the hell out of the controller or mashing the stick constantly; in fact it's made me try to be more delicate with my controllers, even though I'm just playing the games normally.

    Is it just how controllers are, or am I just getting the shit end of the stick?

    People Who Don't Wear Deodorant or Seemingly Bathe Regularly, Why?

    Like, I travel around for work and I've met plenty of people from all backgrounds.

    Why is there a demographic of people who don't seemingly bathe regularly, or at the very least wear something to cover up their BO? I could understand if it's an allergy, or even religious reasons (though the people I've met that smell bad are usually you're average American young adult man) but recently (like in the past week, recently) I've met a concerning number of people who don't seem to wear any kind of deodorant or possibly don't even bathe regularly; it's starting to become an issue for me, as I don't even want to interact with them when I can smell them walking up from 3+ feet away yet I need to for work.

    Does anyone have any possible insight?
