  • I JUST started replaying Styx -games, can't wait for this one!

  • I'm kinda torn between Unreal Tournament's (ut99) sniper rifle, flak cannon and the instagib variant of the shock rifle.

  • high-fps abuse looks GREAT! I honestly thought the SDL sourceport (?) that's existed for years already had that, but apparently not.

    Might have to revisit the game at some point

  • Nope, never have, never will.

    \* until stated otherwise

  • Well, it's a gametype/genre I tend to enjoy greatly - so I can probably overlook quite a bit of jank/issues/whatevs and still get some enjoyment out of it. First round was the "blind go", second round I wanted to see what can be done differently and what kinds of different outcomes there are. IIRC not much changes when doing stuff differently. Admittedly the second round around was bit of a slog - I think I played it through, but not 100% of it.

    To me the "okay" means more of a "more fun than not". The game isn't great by any means, but it's not also off-putting to play, but I don't feel like I need to re-install the game ever again. Also, the game isn't terribly long either.

    But, opinions, everybody has them. :)

  • I thought it was okay, though not without it's issues. The itemization (everything being "standard -> better -> betterer -> best") and the size of the playable areas were kinda weak.

    IIRC Finished the main game twice, couldn't be arsed with the dlc though.

  • kinda sounds like The Outer Worlds, in a way. Which is kinda the feel I got from some youtube videos I watched about the game. Got to wonder how on earth the current 70€ pricetag is in any way justified.

    Oh well, wishlistforgotten, maybe some sale notification at some point comes a long

  • I’m not trying to bust your chops or anything.

    didn't take it as such, no worries. We cool? :)

    And I bet the whole "'murica" stuff is quiiite a bit more prevalent.

    Aaaaanyhoo, feels like these kinda drunklol games are pretty much just youtuber/streamer-bait for cheap giggles - and I do watch quite a bit of gaming content so these things are kinda inescapable. Oh well. Old man yells at cloud. :P

  • Just because "when finland -> lol alcoholism", I get that it's a self-deprecating joke and all that, but... we could have other jokes too, maybe? :P

    I don't mind the games, let peeps have their fun.

    edit: what I called "weird", is probably better put as "...this thing, again". I guess.

  • well, ofc I can only speak on my own point of view, as a finn, the fairly prominent "lol drunk" -memery in games feels a bit weird. If that was what you were asking.

  • So many "drinking-games": Obenseuer, Finnish Cottage simulator, My Summer Car, Finnish Cabin Mayhem/Mökkimähinä... probably forgetting a few... and now Drunkard Simulator and Last Drop?

    Self-deprecating humor and all that, but... this starts to feel a bit weird :|

  • about the spacebar:

    • you might want to swap the switch on that, could be it's a wonky one.
    • unless I'm horribly wrong, the spacebar width is the standard 6.25u width one, finding a keyboard with shorter one could turn out to be nearly impossible unless there's some unicorn-one-of-akind-layout out there, unless you're looking at ergo/split/40/other-weirdo -ones.

    about via:

    if you can flash it with a firmware which supports vial, it might provide a better customization experience. edit: linky: https://get.vial.today/

  • I'll preface this with the fact that I don't know the game, but looking at the system requirements on steam, both of those systems are below minimum spec.

    Also, it would probably help if the macbook actually was on fedora 41, it reads 40 in the screenshot - so maybe try upgrading that one, since the game runs on the system with actual fedora 41?

  • eyyyy, World Class Leaderboard, one of the first games I ever had on PC. Got fond memories of that - but rose tinted glasses didn't survive revisit in dosbox x)

    This game looks neat tho. Might pick it up!

  • I've played quite a bit of the browser version, but that steam version has stuff in screenshots I don't think I've seen in the browser one... huh.

    Might need to check this one out, thanks!

  • if/when you get stuck / progress feels horrendously slow/stalled, the wiki is pretty up to date and offers great info https://spaceidle.game-vault.net/wiki/Main_Page - but imo, only check it when progress stalls hard, otherwise there be spoilers, a lot of spoilers.

    Welcome to space :)

  • Unnamed Space Idle? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2471100/Unnamed_Space_Idle/

    It is pretty similar to Melvor, you have a space ship instead of a character. Ship automatically shoots baddies and goes forward. You upgrade the ship, it's parts, etc. Proceed to idle, harveste materials, craft stuff, collect bonuses, unlock new tiers of stuff... etc. It looks a bit amateurish, but it's pretty cool as far as idlers go.

    It has offline progress, cloud saves & works on linux too. And apparently you can share your progress with android version too - but I dunno for sure, haven't tried.

    There are mtx available, but even the game tells you they're not really needed, they're there for giving support to the dev - and I can confirm, the game isn't coin operated at all, you gain everything you'd realistically need through gameplay at reasonable pace.

  • Imagine paying hundreds for beta-invite, to scalpers, and then get banned because account trading is pretty much always against TOS.

  • got the first game/shareware on some random "bajillion games collection!" cd when I was a kid. Even if it wasn't a full game, the amount of game the shareware episode had was staggering. Years later I came across the second part which was released as freeware. There was much rejoicement.

    The game sure has it's BS moments - like nearly impossible dragons/whatever enemies which occasionally just murder you, but dangit I like it. :3

    Just got to figure out a way to "double the pixel size" so that all those crusty graphics don't get too small on my screen, dosbox + win3.1 is nice but... could be better! :P
