a bit stressed with the amount of upcoming responsibilities next month (new job, new pet, old pet having health problems, gf having health problems), but hoping I’ll manage

4·28 days agoStill co-oping BG3 with my girlfriend and playing through Shadow Gambit. For a quick rogue-like distraction I also picked up Titanium Court - it’s great. It’s a mix of match-3 and tower defense (somehow). Dialogue is funny, too.

3·1 month agoStarted a coop playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3 with my girlfriend (she never played it before). Loving it, though the split screen implementation is a bit jank.
Also playing VHOLUME and Shadow Gambit, both great games

4·2 months agoI’m on the last iPhone mini. I refuse to upgrade because I refuse to use phones above 6". It’s insane to me that everybody wants to use shovels instead of phones.

Technology@beehaw.org•AI-generated stories rated better quality than human-written ones, study finds
1·2 months agoAt first I read the title as “AI-generated stores” and was like “well, yeah, Amazon’s design sucks, of course they’re better rated!”
Not bad, concluding my 2.5 month work search with a nice enough offer that I’ll likely accept. A bit concerned about the workload, but should be doable (famous last words)
I don’t really play shooters on consoles, but New Blood publishes a lot of good ones (Dusk, Ultrakill, Amid Evil, Don’t Stop Girlypop)

Other suggestions in this subthread assume existing direct connection, this doesn’t.
Other comments mention Magic Wormhole and wush, didn’t try those, probably work too
That’s modern CoD for ya :)
It’s shit show. Indie FPSs are where it’s at

Gaming@beehaw.org•Steam Machine costs more than I hoped but the price isn’t crazy
52·4 months agoConsidering getting 512+controller if I get the chance
Not great. Not terrible, but not great.
Good stuff: got my permanent residency in Germany.
Bad stuff: pretty burnt out (on a sick leave atm), but going to interviews instead of resting. Also I’m being sued in my home country, cause a friend who lives in my apartment may or may not have flooded a neighbour downstairs and I don’t have the energy to fight this properly to prove that it wasn’t my fault.

Gaming@beehaw.org•The First 13 Minutes of 007 First Light
1·4 months agoFreelancer made it a roguelike.
It was always a sandbox, the levels were always meant to be replayed with different approaches, mastering the level, the routes, npc/item locations.
Not the case with 007, from what I heard. For a comparison: imagine every level would play out like a Mads Mikkelsen mission they’ve recently added - you can choose your approach, but there’s more railroading.
This video covers the hands on demo developers were letting people play: https://youtu.be/uRFrrVRnZlI

Gaming@beehaw.org•The First 13 Minutes of 007 First Light
1·4 months agoThere isn’t. It’s a mostly linear experience with some variation, not a sandbox like hitman

Also playing Control Resonant, incredible game.
And juuust about to finish up Titanium Court, also incredible in its own way
