Calling all dashwizzies who use Geometry Dash's Daily Chat!
Daily Chat is one of those places where all's implicit and assumed. Dashwizzies abuse the glorious refresh button in hopes that there's a new funny comment, and oftentimes try to beg for likes.

the best game in the world
I want to share one of the best games I've ever played in my life, not only because of its aesthetics, but also because of its playability and the great content it offers, not only that, apart from being very accessible despite having low graphics (not to say shit) Runescape old school is one of those games that are little known, this game contains millions of stories, of Venezuelans earning a living to be able to eat selling runescape gold, from people who repeat the same action for 3 months in a row to be able to get 99 in a skill, and even people who pay in-game money so they can have a girlfriend. Runescape is huge and you don't stop finding new things every day, it's full of content and besides it's FREE… Up to a certain point since you can buy a membership and play the game 100%, since the free game is limited to certain things and certain sectors, but don't worry you can farm money from the game and buy a bond, which gives you 14 days of free membership, and if you know how to take advantage of them you will never have to spend real money to buy the membership. It's crazy what this game can be and I invite you to play it for free on steam, android, and iso. I don't know what my fellow virgins expect to be able to play this fantastic game

Despite the english name, Slayers Online (SO) is a french-speaking amateur MMO that was created in 2002 by a certain "frostfall" using RPG Maker 2K assets.
It was the poor man's WoW for kids with slow internet or parents who didn't want to pay a sub.
Yes, the MMO was entirely free. NOT freemium, free. You couldn't interact financially with the game even with donations. Obviously because it ripped many assets from RM2K or other games like FF1-6.
The gameplay itself sucked. You had one key to attack, one key to defend, 3 classes that were not balanced at all, and thats about it.
But we liked it because it was an era when online games weren't as ubiquitous as they are now. They were mostly for introverted kids like me who didn't partake in IRL activities.
At its peak (2007-2008 id say) the server averaged 400 online players.
The game admins gave you the possibility to make your own skin (RM2K style). Doing one takes some training but it was accessible. At some point, "skinneurs" as we called them had the possibility to sell access to their skin. This led to the game economy being ruined as the richest people in the game were making too much gold.
I myself created skins and was shocked by how much gold normalfags were willing to put into them, but I didn't complain and exploited this lol.
I also learned HTML4 at 13 just to make a cool description for my character. Didn't have any programming knowledge before that.
The game slowly died out as f2p online games became mainstream, but also because it was hacked so much times as the game's infosec also stayed in the 2000s era (passwords hashed with MD5 etc).
However it will always have a special place in my heart.
One funny anecdote: In september 2007 frostfall and another admin had a falling out and fought IRL. In reaction the admin replaced all skins in the game with a penis that attacks by ejaculating. That was fun.
Any frenchwiz here who played it?

Spoilers following.
In Rebirth you watch a recording of a show that Jessie did at the Gold Saucer and it is a very powerful emotional moment. Jessie being a famous actor is the only new idea that worked in Rebirth. Everything else is so stupid. It grinds my gears so much that instead of getting Rocket Town, we get stupid chocobo minigames, alternate timeline Zack, and some literally who Wutai commander talking to Rufus Don't you think they could have used that energy to make Rocket Town instead of just skipping it? The whole Rocket Town scenario just doesn't happen in FF7 Rebirth, and that is BS.
PS. Oh yeah, a new idea that was good is the Vincent boss battle. That was fucking metal, brutal, edgy. Like some PS2 Devil May Cry shit. Although it is preceded by Cait Sith box elevator puzzles.. one of the worst things in any video game ever. The only thing that got me through that horror is pure love for FF7, I tell ya.
Oh yeah it is hilarious at the beginning of the game with the Nibelheim sheriff. "Sephiroth, you sick son of a bitch!!". That was so funny. It was like watching a B horror movie, but a B horror movie that is actually really good and the actors put in a great enthusiastic performance.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
I wanna share some thoughts about FF7 Rebirth after completing it. tl;dr the game is SO GOOD when they just do new flashy versions of the original story (pic related). Most of the new ideas are bad though. The exception is the stuff related to Jessie.Spoilers following.

It's just a factor that nobody really picks up on when discussing these games. I remember my Grandma watching me play through the Winhill sequence in Final Fantasy VIII and going on about how beautiful the village looked. I don't think you could've had anything comparable in detail in full 3D for at least fifteen years, and not anything as consistently pretty over the course of a full game until around today.
Final Fantasy X was sort of a graphical step down in a sense of so much being plain, flat and ugly. So much so that when you step into a pre-rendered background house, you're taken back by how detailed that is compared to the ugly flatness of the outside.
Pre-rendered backgrounds
Pre-rendered backgrounds with 3D assets should've remained until at least the 2010s for certain genres. I'm pretty sure much of the love for the golden age of Final Fantasy (VII- IX) and the early Resident Evil games is due to the highly detailed nature of pre-rendered graphics. The worlds depicted felt more alive and lived in, meaning kids could imagine themselves in it more easily.It's just a factor that nobody really picks up on when discussing these games.

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.

I miss Habbo Hotel.
I scammed a lot of people on here for furni. Made a lot of scamming friends. Made just regular friends. Played with my sister and she would steal some of my furni by logging into my account.
I would sink probably 100's of dollars into this game if they brought back old habbo.
Fun times. Sulake (the company that owns it) ruined it though by trying to make it kid friendly and removing all the fun aspects of it. I miss when games were actually fun to play.

Should I get into playing an MMO RPG?
I sometimes watch an anime or read a manga about MMO video games of some sort and it has made me interested in the concept. Obviously as NEETs we should have advantages that other players wouldn't have that come from being able to spend a lot of time playing. I've never really played any multiplayer games, and when I did, I never interacted with anyone in them, just playing them like single player games. I wonder if MMOs could be a decent substitute for actual human interaction and companionship. Does anyone have any experience with these? What do you think about them? Worth playing for a wizard?

The thing where you can collect orcs and get them to fight for you and against each other in the arena was really novel and good gameplay for me. I want more but with even more variations to collect, something like pokemon but with melee combat also where you can control your character. Does anything like this exist? I asked chat GPT but it didn't give me any leads except for maybe mount and blade 2 bannerlord which I'm not sure how that works or if it's what I'm looking for. I think I remember shadow of mordor/war winning awards/acclaim back when they came out, so did anyone ever clone this format of game?
Looking for a game that I'm not sure exists
Has there ever been a game with a similar game format to Middle Earth Shadow of War? Specifically the elements I want are: 1) collecting like pokemon. You need to be able to find rare and valuable ones by playing the game and 2)you use the characters you collect to fight for you in non-turn-based combat.The thing where you can collect orcs and get them to fight for you and against each other in the arena was really novel and good gameplay for me.

I want to play pirated games but don't want to infect my computer with virus.
So I am thinking of dual Booting windows
So that I can run games on one partion and use another partition for serious work
In case if the gaming partition get infected with malware I can simply reset that partition.
Will this work correctly??

Fire Emblem thread
Anybody play Fire Emblem? What are your thoughts about Fire Emblem Engage? Personally, i'm excited for it. We haven't really got a fire emblem game before that looks this colourful, and the entire premise just seems like it could be stupid fun even if the stories bad. It also seems like they're returning to more traditional gameplay ie bringing back the weapon triangle/a jaigen character and the maps looks like they could possibly have much tighter design than three houses. But who knows. Honestly who cares if the game ends up being bad, i'll probably still get some enjoyment out of it and we know that a genealogy remake is coming because of the leaks so it's not like the series is dead if this game sucks.Also, what are your favourite FE games?

One thing that bothers me a little is that the DLCs don't have as much polish as the original map. There's less attention to detail and I get the feeling parts of it are rushed and made for completion's sake more than trying to capture the right atmosphere/architecture, though none of the places I visited so far I would call it bad but they lack some of the enthusiasm you can notice in the original map.
I’ll make a dedicated thread for it since I’m also planning to post about American Truck Simulator soon which is basically the same thing. Also lots of pictures.
Euro Truck Simulator 2
I'm really enjoying playing Euro Truck Sim 2 right now. I'm having a better time now than when I first played it years ago. I really like the concept of the game but never really cared for driving around Germany and England. I find the general atmosphere, especially of Germany, to be depressing and gloomy for the most part. Driving around gray Hamburg under a gray sky or damp London was never my idea of fun, so even though I like the game, it lacked an environment I like. The DLCs really did it for me though, especially Iberia and Italy. I just completed driving through the entire Iberian Peninsula's coastline, starting from Bordeaux, Bayonne and going West all the way to A Coruña then south to Faro, Algeciras, Malaga, Murcia up to Montpellier. Wonderful experience and having put around 100h years ago and 20 hours now, this route is by far the best this game has to offer imo (probably, I still have to drive around Italy and France some more, but I don't think it will be as fun as Iberia, though those two countries are fun to drive around as well). I still have to drive around Eastern Europe but I'm not holding my breath for that region. Drove around Scandinavia a bit and it's fine.One thing that bothers me a little is that the DLCs don't have as much polish as the original map.

I might genuinely be autistic and I'm not even joking… though the thing is, a part of me feels perfectly fine with it. I mean, does anyone else here do this? I've never finished a single Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokémon… and that's just for the major Nintendo IPs, if I go for other major ones, I've never finished a single Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear, Elder Scrolls, Mega Man, Castlevania… and then there are also so many licensed IPs that are successful in video games aswell, I haven't played many in the last few years either… and whenever I try, I just drop it after a while, they're not much fun to me. I essentially have these dozen franchises I grew up playing and loving so much, and nowadays I either replay the ones I grew up with, or go after new installments from those very franchises that I hadn't really played before, over and over again…
>Is this a sign of undiagnosed autism or ADHD?

I've attempted to get started on some of these major franchises before, those lists with the so called top video games of all time, the ones you have to play, the ones no one in this hobby should miss out on at all… and yet I never get truly immersed in it and often drop it in favor of playing yet another installment from a favorite franchise of mine… is it because I didn't grow up with them? I suppose so, perhaps if I did then they'd be among these franchises I always go back to, though there's no way to be sure… still, it's cozy in a way, the familiarity, and discovering a new favorite among an old franchise you know and love, though at times it feels like I'm genuinely missing out, at least from what is written everywhere online, but whenever I try to break away and try these interesting IPs people acclaim, it just doesn't do it for me, a part of me wishes it did… but that's fine.

shin megami tensei strange journey was in my top 5 games of all time list back in 2012 to 2018.
i replayed it this year and it's so much easier and braindead than i remembered, i think i became more skilled at turn-based games and at exploring maps and conserving MP, and this game just offers no difficulty whatsoever for me now and i steamrolled through all fights. i remember when i first played the game, horkos was so difficult that i died to him 8 times in a row. when replaying i killed him in like 5 turns. it is a simplistic game for babies. play wizardry 8 if you want a hard turn based experience.
or how about dead rising? this is another game that i considered infallible art, i bought an xbox just to play this game back in the day. when replaying its HD rerelease on PS4, all of the psychopaths are way less interesting than i remember them being, the dialogue isn't even cheezy or fun, it's just melodramatic. dead rising 2 is superior in just about every single way with much more effort put into balance and content quality and quantity. and the funny thing is, i didn't even like dead rising 2 at launch. it makes me feel like i've evolved as a person.
maybe i will add more later as i think more on this subject.

Playing some NFS Most Wanted on a PS2 Slim, after doing the whole save file thingy, both on here and Underground 2.
You just don´t finish the game, you keep playing it.
This is a 100% save file + all junkman parts collected + challenge series in their respective order.
The career police have retained their full force, due to the fact that, i havenn´t been busted "yet" ( i do soft resets ) Otherwise, the difficulty will go down. The same applies to NFS Carbon, since i have tested it.

Lately I've been watching cinematic battles from WH3. And while I'm a big history buff and not into fantasy. I can see now why Total War has moved in a more fantasy direction. Men in identical uniforms shooting spears, muskets or tanks at each other, just doesn't compared to dinosaurs battling magic mummies.
Its just so cinematic. Like a whole fantasy series of novels, shows, films lead up to this climactic epic battle. But its all climax no plot needed.
So let's talk about consuming rather than playing gameplay.

These days it’s just like every single game is extremely high fidelity. We have more than enough resources to throw at anything now, there are almost no limitations, things are homogenized, most everything is running in Unreal or Unity engine.
It feels almost like the frontier of gaming is over, all that’s left is businessmen producing calculated slop over and over again, sequels on sequels. Devs these days aren’t building their dreams, they’re just building a paycheck.
What do you think? Was old really better or is it nostalgia
Were old games better?
I think there is just something “magical” about old games, like someone’s great ideas put in to the limitations of a early 2000s game engine that was handcrafted by a passionate nerd. I think limitations and those unique oversights/bugs were really what spawned great games.These days it’s just like every single game is extremely high fidelity.

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?

R: 8 / I: 1
I'll start.
I was playing a rpgm game which was tackling a narrative of an existence shimmering between awareness and non-awareness, where the overall antagonist together with a surprising other character –an ally, at that– were in a plot to reduce the world of awareness into a barren 'non-awareness' and what consequences would occur thereafter.
The game's journey towards the inevitable clash against the non-aware perpetrators alongside its thwart-evil conclusion were typical and yet I couldn't relent from thinking about the dualism it was tackling until it hit me what a perfect descriptor it is for a lot of problems, common and difficult alike.
In my understanding, a problem is always interpretable in two facets: problems brought by problematization which are caused without being any the wiser or 'aware' of causes to infelicity and problems that are unavoidable through one thing or another. Now, I'd like to think that the dividing line between these two is easy to draw but I'm sure argumentation is anticipatable so I won't elaborate on that further.
What interests me here are problems as a result of problematization.
I'll take something like social media addiction as an example.
It often is the case that a person addicted to social media has an obvious realization of this and yet cannot help but continue to tolerate it. Occasionally, he or she will take breaks propelled into action by external circumstances, not least of which are other people inclining them to do so, but will desist shortly after even if said external measures are still present. They simply cannot help but come back to it, no matter what.
Why is this? well, it's an addiction for a reason right? If just 'stop doing it' was enough, the label 'addiction' wouldn't be warranted. Similarly, culling the ignorance of the harmful 'consequences' and emphasizing them again and again are equally ineffective if not entirely meaningless as they do nothing to sway the person in question from avoiding social media.
Ignorance is not the issue, it never is and never was just like a guy who cranks it 5-10 times a day knows he's going overboard, so too does someone who spends 20 hours on 4chan, to give an example.
What's going on then? The game's narration construct has an answer to this: These people with problematized resultant problems are outside of 'awareness' and will therefore never understand the crux of their issue in the true sense, no matter what happens, and are left to suffer with them forever.
It tells us that when we're told something or taught something, we're usually allegorically moved positively along the X-axis in a Cartesian plane and are, therefore, progressing with contents that are technically already intuitively familiar to us in the most subtle of ways; Our precept as a species puts us in a domain of an existent 'awareness' such that everything derived from within it is as transferable as the ease of putting 1 and 1 together. That the transferability may sometimes take weeks, months or even years does not detract the ease with which it happens or that it happens at all–Yes, that last point is important, that 'awareness' can at all enable an assured progression in whatever is within its realm.
Consider the case of something like the 'easy peasy method' for people suffering from porn addiction. Why was it [and in most cases, still] lauded as being worthwhile? It's because it dangles this idea of awareness and non-awareness perfectly, suggesting that we simply initially lack the sight, the awareness, as needed to realize we aren't dealing with anything major; something that is so easily dismissible but not recognized as so.
Going on and on and on about why porn is uncontrollable and why it's too 'overpowering' instantly was shattered at the onset of this notion.
This game truly made me realize the permanent parallelization between being aware and non-aware and how ignorance should never once be used as a synonym for the former. It really shouldn't.
Anyway, that's my story. What about you wizzies? Anything like how Touhou taught you about sacred geometry?
Things you've learnt from games.
This might sound strange -or probably not- but has anyone acquired lucrative knowledge from video games? If so, please kindly share it, whatever it is.I'll start.

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.

Vroom Vroom Racing and Driving Game Thread
I'm not legally allowed to drive in meatspace but I enjoy driving and crashing in computer games and I hope other wizards do to. People (plebeians) think racing vidya is all the same but that couldn't be further from any of the truths. There are combat racing games, racing simulators, arcade racers, rhythm racers, driving simulators, driving racers, kart-likes, and some other kinds even maybe. If you played any recently or want to play some soon then let us know in this thread or the next one if this one has over 300 posts.

There's a reservoir of water splitting off from the Zora's domain route in OOT. Navi then focuses on part of the water suggesting the player can get something. I've tried all the songs, tried bombs, tried everything I can think of. What's up with this tiny lake?

Its just an interesting exercise in hypocrisy and the golden rule with the SBMM bitching. They don't like being hunted by the sharks, but complain that they can't have a "casual relaxing" game of hunting guppies. Theres no self-awareness of staring into the mirror, of what a hell being around people like themselves is.
I used to have this fantasy of all the Nietzschean ubermen, will to power, will to dominate types being sent to their own Mad Max island where they can dominate each other. Wolves eating wolves. But it seems its not every fun to be on a diet of wolfmeat, they need some nonconsenting sheep too. I've seen some proposals for a more voluntary SBMM. But the self-aware among them, admit that most casuals would choose it, and so they'd still be in the same box. Basically they want casuals to be forced to play with them.
It just fascinating to see in the gaming world, how ubermen feel about being sent to my Mad Max island where wolves can only eat other wolves.

“Skill-based matchmaking”
I've been trying new genres of games and as a lower skilled player the only thing that allows me to try these games in multiplayer is SBMM. I've tried games in the same genre without it, and the difference of what my true level is is palpable. I've been reading forum threads to see what the normies think about it. And one thing I've learned is that the type of gamers who post on forums, are usually not your typical average gamer, but more hardcore just to care enough to post. So often their complaints might be the opposite for a casual noob like me, and actually be to my benefit.Its just an interesting exercise in hypocrisy and the golden rule with the SBMM bitching.

The other day I was thinking, "what if there was a Grand Theft Auto game set on a spheroid with fictionalized versions of at least one real major city from every continent?"
Has there ever been a map that could be fully explored on foot, maybe something along the lines of: GTAV's flat map, or maybe even more like on the scale of World War II Online's map, but with no invisible walls or any artificial method that prevents players from crossing a certain boundary that would reveal the flatness of the virtual world?
I was also thinking something like No Man's Sky but wasn't procedurally generated, had more than just one biome, was set in the present, had Earth fauna and flora, had thousands of NPCs, and cities based off of real-world cities.
The map would have to be a lot smaller than real Earth, of course. Perhaps a spheroidal map the size of Ceres? Or smaller. No wait. Not Ceres. Maybe the asteroid 8 Flora. Might be just perfect for the GTAV map.
Has there ever been a spherical open world game set inside a space station on the scale of something like the Death Star that could be fully explored inside and out?
Or an oblately spheroidal open world set inside of a hollowed-out asteroid?
Or for that matter: how hard would it be to just take the flat map from GTAV and paste it onto a globe?
I'd love to play a GTAV-like game in which the map isn't flat and has multiple biomes (e.g. jungles, tundras, taigas, steppes, dunes, permafrost locations like McMurdo station, etc.) and fictionalized versions of real major cities from all over the planet and not just Miami, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Las Vegas.

2000s Bioware made the best RPGs in the history of the genre. No, they're not crunchy. No, they're not infinitely replayable. But they were memorable, meaningful, evocative, and fun.

GameCube or no.
I have been debating if I should get a GameCube or not. I have seen a few good gems on the system but a friend of mine told me not to bother because it's extremely expensive to get the system and some games he said. Is that true or not.
