I totally agree. I used to have a problem with gaming growing up, I’d prioritize it over everything else and my studies really suffered as a result, but now? I spend almost as much time playing games as I did back then, but it’s an end-of-the-day post-resposiblities thing I do that allows me to spend time doing something with my wife even when we’re miles apart (like we frequently are). It all depends on the effect it is having on your life, not a matter of raw time spent on it.

No, games should be able to be designed around PvEvP being an integral element of the game.

That said, personally, I’m not going to play a game like Arc Raiders or Sea of Thieves if it doesn’t have a PvE only mode where I am capable of making all the same progress as the PvEvP mode, because I am not even remotely interested in PvEvP. Every game is not meant to be for me though. I love The Finals, but I can look at Arc Raiders and go “not for me” and ignore it.

Dont get me wrong, I love Embark and a fully fledged PvE only mode would immediately get me very interested in Arc Raiders, but I see no reason I should be personally catered to for every game release. I don’t even have enough time to play all the games that come out that do cater to my gaming interests.

Dutch, but only because I’m tired of Dutch people telling me I really shouldn’t have bothered when they find out I learned to speak Dutch.

I just like learning different languages because it lit|really provides new frameworks of understanding for me, goddamn.

I don’t have any money, but I’ve lived along both the Mexican and Canadian borders (San Diego and Detroit) so I’ve been to both many times. If we’re talking outside of those two though I was lucky enough to have my dad bring me along on a couple business trips growing up so I got to spend some time in Costa Rica and Germany.

I came over here when they cut off 3rd party apps. I wasn’t going to browse reddit without Boost, and theres a Boost app for Lemmy, so staying here was easy. I have gone back to reddit twice since, and both times were to check if GeForce Now was broken or if the problem was on my end. Unfortunately Nvidia is pretty terrible at keeping people updated when something is wrong with GFN, so the GFN subreddit is really the only way to find out what’s going on. If I found an active GeForce Now community here I’d never go back.

In high school in like 2007/8ish my friend told me you could get a free disc with an operating system called Ubuntu on it sent to you in the mail, so I requested one out of curiosity and put it on the iMac in my room, and fell in love with it. I still have the disc, even though I’m more of a Fedora person now.

I really didn’t enjoy this game when I played 8-ish hours on my PC, but maybe I’ll give it another go and see if a handheld form factor changes that. I like these kinds of games sonetimes but I really don’t understand what it is about BG3 that makes it so well loved. It just wasn’t evident in my time with the game. I feel like I played a different game than everyone else did.

No, she doesn’t use any kind of social media anymore, which is kinda ironic considering we met on Twitter.

Mine was Heather too, but I ended up being trans so I actually used it.

We had Spanish, French, German, American Sign Language, and Mandarin

One of the Play it Loud Game Boys (the red one), it’s as old as I am

i just started playing again for the new game mode (stadium) they added this season. Ive been having a lot of fun with it.

just left and haven’t looked back, I’m not using the stupid default reddit app

in the way that I’m enjoying my time with it a lot and will be sad when it’s over. idk I’m not a reviewer, I just know what makes me happy.

really glad we can set the recording location to an external drive

Its a really good game, but metacritic won’t do the smart thing and just remove any review where the main complaint is “woke” “pronouns” or “DEI”

I’m all for exclusives going away, but it would have to be more than just microsoft doing it. If sony doesn’t reciprocate and all the Xbox games are on PS but none of the PS games are on xbox, why would anyone own an xbox? If nobody has a reason to pick xbox over PS then xbox goes away. with nintendo off doing their own thing that would leave a sony that nobody’s competing with, and we’ve all seen what sony does when they think they can get away with anything cough launch PS3 cough I don’t want that again.

checking out random stuff I see on Rate Your Music or going to shows at small local venues.

what other games offer this feature for free?

a general setting thats available to everyone, and a paid version of that same setting but customized to your individual ears seems pretty reasonable to me actually
