  • Greg Street, who quit working on the League of Legends MMO to do 'something new,' has revealed that the new thing is another MMO

    Jump

  • Go with what you know, I guess. He's obviously passionate about MMOs.

    I remember seeing a lot of criticism on him back in his WoW days. After he left, Blizzard had to hire two people to fill his role, one for PvE and one for PvP. It was amusing to see the general sentiment go from "good riddance!" to "omg please come back! these guys are worse!" over the span of several months.

  • Games Industry to Grow Less Than It Used to; Small Studios Should Join Subscriptions Sooner Rather Than Later, Say Analysts

    Jump

  • The article is referring to subscription services like Game Pass, rather than games built using a live service model.

  • Is Destiny 2 Still Worth Playing in 2023? - IGN

    Jump

  • The sunsetting of some of the content pissed me the hell off. I bought Forsaken, and took a break before finishing it, so I paid for content that I won't be able to play. On top of that, the FOMO and pressure to buy the battle passes to play the new content just put me off.

  • Apparently, all you need to do to "git gud" in an online FPS is to reduce hand "stress" while aiming.

  • Take this with a grain of salt, but a few years ago, I remember a discussion in /r/overwatch where someone said they practice sniping by playing osu.

  • Is skip lagging illegal

    Jump

  • It's not illegal, but the airline could cancel your return ticket and/or blacklist you.

  • What will you do once windows 10 is deprecated and you have to update to windows 11 or 12?

    Jump

  • We will have to see what happens with Win12 as more info releases. Windows seems to follow a pattern of good > bad > good, where 10 is "good" and 11 is "bad", so maybe 12 will end up decent?

    If Win12 ends up being garbage, then I guess I'll take another hard look at Linux. Hopefully game support will be better by then. Proton is nice for sure, but not quite where I would need it for some of the games I play.

    9,600+ hours of total gaming done. How many hours makes me a great gamer?

    Jump

  • That's me with World of Warcraft. 11k+ hrs over 12 years or so.

    What game did you find in a bargain bin that turned out to be awesome? For me it was Z by Bitmap Brothers which I got at Zellers for $0.47

    Jump

  • I got Fallout 1 and 2 in a 2-pack for $10. This was back in the early '00s before the others were released. I loved those games so much.

  • Hey that was me, too! Definitely worth $4 for that game, and a free box of cereal, lol.

  • Microsoft expected to finally buy Activision Blizzard next week

    Jump

  • I'm guessing Activision Blizzard King

    Fired up XCOM 2 today. I think I'll go back to Stardew Valley now...

    Jump

  • Yeah, screw that. As soon as one of my core soldiers goes down, it's "god dammit" and time to load.

  • What are folks playing this weekend? (Sept 9th, 2023)

    Jump

  • All this Starfield hype got me wanting to play... Fallout 4. I found an interesting mod collection on NexusMods (A Storywealth) and I've been having fun.

    I'll pick up Starfield later after DLC and fixes and mods come out.

  • PlayStation Plus prices increasing

    Jump

  • There are plenty of high quality indie games that don't require the latest hardware and have no mtx. If you want to move away from consoles, you could even look at something like a Steam Deck or similar for a pre-configured ready to go system.

  • Intel CPUs are leaking passwords and killing performance | Digital Trends

    Jump

  • Yes, there were similar vulnerabilities found around 5 years ago, known as Meltdown and Spectre.

  • Switch 2 would arrive in the second half of 2024 and development kits are already out

    Jump

  • I can't suggest which one to get since we don't know enough about Switch 2 and it's all entirely dependent on your personal situation, but I will post this:

    • There are plenty of good games to play on Switch right now
    • Switch 2, like all consoles, will take time to build a significant games offering
    • According to the article, we don't know yet if Switch 2 will be backwards compatible or not
