Bless your soul for including the meme template!
Still sends you to gulag.
He doth shareth
I didn’t know Jesus was a commie smh my head
Beat me to it! thank you!
You might be interested to know this scene is a homage to the Looney Toons short, Feed the Kitty (apologies for the YT link)
Runs on Linux… my arm hurts
The graphics aren’t smeary… My arm fell off but it’s still jorking it
That’s dedication
I felt this way with Baldur’s Gate 3.
100% I first 🏴☠️my way through bg3, then was like “bruh I genuinely wanna get the achievements this is so good wtf” and ended up buyin*on steam, but even was still so over satisfied that I sprung for the deluxe upgrade
My first thought was “I haven’t experienced this since Final Fantasy XII,” but you’re right.
Edit: wait, it says “story is great,” disregard my FFXII comment 😆
congratulations you found indie games
Chess
Indie game it’s where it’s at. these are just the boring standards these days
4/5 are irrelevant to most games I play tbh. Factorio story is simply automate the extermination of the bugs.
Trainsaw. Always trainsaw
Story Characters and Looks. I count three irrelevant metrics. What is the fourth? Have you not found Factorio yet or have you downloaded the pirated version with added microtransactions? 😄
I don’t understand the pirated thing
It was just a little joke about how sometimes pirated games contain viruses and malware and microtransactions are basically viruses with how toxic they are.
Lmao
I meant 4 and 5, but yeah agree with looks as well actually. Really the most important is that the gameplay is fun, and I find microtransactions significantly reduce how fun a game is to me.
I often return to playing ESO and the ingame shop is the main cause of me quitting again. Never bought anything in it, repeatedly seeing “buy this for premium money!” and after a while I just want it to fuck off and uninstall again.
And suddenly you notice you’re back in 1995
Plenty of those TBH. Only a few dick companies add micro transactions, easy to avoid.
BG3
Basically, any indi game.
I just started playing wildmender from my backlog. Probably from a humble bumble.
Totally up my alley. Got my wife a copy and now we’re playing it together.
Sandbox survival with a storyline and quests
Hades
Also Hades 2
Add “completely free” to the list and you’ve got Enderal.
It says you need to own Skyrim to play it, not sure how that is “free”.
It’s a mod. That’s how mods work.
Same way any other free game is free, even when they come with a financial requirement. Every single free game on Steam requires a computer - the game is still free even if the computer isn’t.
If you pay for Skyrim, you pay for Skyrim… you can then get Enderal for free.
Enderal is absolutely goated. Wish I had finished it but I think other stuff came up or I had a soft lock or something. Either way I’m sure it’s patched and the 40ish hours I put it was 10/10.
Tempted to go back into it again
Either way I’m sure it’s patched
It’s come a long way, but ultimately it’s built using Skyrim’s blocks, so stability is definitely not its strong point.
Advice is to save frequently - not just quicksave, but a hard save that won’t get overridden. Soft locks do happen if just right thing fucks up, like a quest item clipping through the floor.
Also command console is your best friend.
Full pitch in the linked comment.
Speaking of, @StringPotatoTheory@lemmy.world, did you ever get to dive in?
