What games do you play on your box, wizzies?

Starting out with a classic, Minecraft works flawlessly. Really enjoy it on my machine, especially since I can afford more generous RAM allocation.

could you briefly sumarize what that means on linux please? if something isn't in my package manager and it is not in the AUR (which i also install via package manager) then it better be an .appimage file because other than that i wouldn't know what that means yet and how to install it.

Running natively means it doesn't need wine or dxvk, or some other translation layer.
From.what I remebed native games usually come in a folder with an executable, similarly to how portable window applications are.

Can anyone tell me why you need to bother with proper PC gaming? Between these two cheap options, I have 80% of gaming covered. I look at what's required to get a better computer and it's literally either wasting $500-700 on a 7 year out of date lurkan machine being peddled by electronics stores, or it's going full force and wasting $2000+ on parts like GPUs, new CPUs, etc. You can't really get a good GPU for less than $400 at the moment, that's more than I spent on my current set up. People just seem unwilling to sell old gaming computers like they do old consoles.

I keep on being told online that I'm just a fucking idiot and that I don't get PC gaming, and it's cheaper than console gaming if I actually do it properly. But where are these cheap computers being sold?

What is this garbage? We can see only 13fps? There are people who can be shows 30 words per minute flashing in front of their eyes one by one who can memorize and recite them. In fact every nook and cranny of reality just about disproves your claim. What a fucking retard you are, go back to /x/ or whatever 4chan "weirdos" board you're a refugee of.

And studies have found that the answer is between 7 and 13 Hz. After that, our sensitivity to movement drops significantly. “When you want to do visual search, or multiple visual tracking or just interpret motion direction, your brain will take only 13 images out of a second of continuous flow, so you will average the other images that are in between into one image.”

Discovered by researcher Rufin vanRullen in 2010, this literally happens in our brains: you can see a steady 13 Hz pulse of activity in an EEG, and it’s further supported by the observation that we can also experience the ‘wagon wheel effect’ you get when you photograph footage of a spinning spoked object. Played back, footage can appear to show the object rotating in the opposite direction. “The brain does the same thing,” says Chopin. “You can see this without a camera. Given all the studies, we’re seeing no difference between 20hz and above. Let’s go to 24hz, which is movie industry standard. But I don’t see any point going above that.”

Must play vidya Anonymage 04/13/22 (Wed) 14:53:33 No.57081 [Reply]

Zoomer here, I've got a lot of time to kill, I wanted to ask any wizzies here what would be some must play games for me to try out on any console excluding ps5 exclusives. I've started playing some ps2 games such as drakengard and Persona 3, I got really tired of all the dark souls I played. Preferably give me a lot of japanese made games, although that isnt mandatory. Thank you!

If you like fighter jet fantasies, try Ace Combat. You can emulate all of them (and 7 is on Steam, Xbox, PS and Switch). Start off with 4 or 7. Don't touch novice controls with a thousand yard stick.

If you liked it, go for Ace Combat 2, 3 (Japanese version with English patch) 4, 5, 0, X, 6 (only if you have an xbox) and 7 (plus the DLC). Also try Project Wingman once you've played those games.

Try X2, Skype Crawlers 3D (a.k.a Assault Horizon Legacy) and Air Combat if you're hungry for more.

Ace Combat Assault Horizon is to be avoided until you have a good feel for the series, and even then you should drastically lower your expectations.

what is the best FF game for someone who never played a FF game of his life?
To my perspective of an unplayer, I would say the story is meh, the combat are too boring and the worldbuilding is average. the objects/magic are average,etc…yadayada

FF10 easily its linear, it hand holds a lot.

Gameplay wise if you dont mind learning a whole new system then its def Tactics. FF5 is pretty good as well. yadda yadda you will figure it out

Agreed. But its still a decent game tbh. I rate it kinda high, it has more world building than FF4 for example.

FF4 for the DS is really good tho, hardmode by default, graphics are a bit similar to Yoshitaka Amano's official FF art.

2013 is the year gaming in the west died. The shitty business practices of lootcrates and paywalls became common place, low effort quirky indie games became popular. And the government/whatever boogieman you fear, finally after nearly 3 decades of constant shitting on and denouncing of video games realized that they can shill propaganda through this medium of entertainment. Every game since has been infected by this, vidya became fully mainstream. You can argue that it became mainstream much earlier but 2013 is when it began to come full circle. Whats even worse is they are pressuring the east to conform to western standards. We have seen the glory days of vidya for sure. Its only more downhill from here.

I pretty much play retro exclusively nowadays, not only are the bussiness practices awful, and titles feel bloated instead of compact and tighly designed, just to justify their insane cost, but it's full of DEI and propaganda I'm not interested in when I sit down to play a video game, for my own entertainment, I want succubi to look good and I don't want to be preached at aswell.

At least there's enough retro for a life time of playing.

constructive pc games Anonymage 03/23/24 (Sat) 20:02:03 No.61456 [Reply]

these are some of the only games i can bear to play after a dew decades of video games:

factorio
dwarf fortress
cities skyline
rimworld
sim city 4 (with the network addon mod!)
airline tycoon
pizza connection
theme hospital
anno 1602

they related in genre in the sense that they are building something up: management, city builder, colony sim.

i waited to play dwarf fortress until the premium edition on steam came out with the graphics and so far i very much like it. only recently got into it. it is a lot of fun to play because the z-levels. it feels like being in a sky scraper where there is just infinite floors to build on. it's not really a sky scraper but instead it is a mountain but the dwarfs are so crafty, they make a mountain a nice home. great game. takes a bit to get the hang of but the degree of freedom is really nice, i would think wizards would like it, some probably already do.

few games have felt as nice as theme hospital. i've played the new twopoint hospital, it wasn't bad but it just did not reach the simplistic charm of the original. it doesn't matter that the graphics are so primitive, they clearly depict what is happening. it feels so alive.

currently enjoying project zomboid only because you mentioned it, all credit goes to you.

i like how the game has it's priorities straight. graphics are pleasant and simple, i dig that everything looks like sims 1. it is surprisingly deep and it looks like it can be custom tailored quite a bit.

If the lack of combat bothers you then you should try Mindustry, is very similar to factorio but all the logistics are more simple in exchange of a tower defense and rts approach, one of my favorite games.

I wish they recycled the assets to make a real game without dailies and gay phone shit. Ironically, the gacha mechanics are on point with the original titles and isn't as obnoxious as other popular titles.
