Recently started playing Metal Eden

It’s rad! Not announced at gdc this year or anything but it’s been a lot of fun messing around in this game that feels like an amalgamation of Doom 2016 and Titanfall.

Personally they lost me at kernel level anticheat.

I had a passing interest but no OS / box id sacrifice for that garbage.

Hey look, the name of the game and a direct link to its steam page.

Out of Action

I tried going back to it on pc recently and was met with a pretty janky experience. GoG and Steam versions. I ended up emulating the PS2 version with some upscaling and it was great. There’s community texture packs and widescreen patches as well if you have the hardware to run them (low bar fwiw, I had success with an anbernic android device and a few mods as an example).

Portal 2 was my first thought as well. It can also work as a good litmus test for how they will respond to FPS controls. You can try kb/m or controller and see what feels natural. My partner (we found playing left4dead after portal) is an inverted controller person. Which was wild to me considering they worked in a heavy clerical field and really took to building keyboard with me. Yet, no kb/m for gaming. After that switch , they were able to enjoy co-op 1st person stuff a lot easier.

After portal we played borderlands 2 together. It’s low pressure most of the time and can be a background activity while you talk and hang out. The story is kinda cheesy but it’s fun to share the inside jokes with someone and bonded us in an unexpected way.

Hopefully those work for you!

Edit: it takes two and split fiction are really fantastic coop experiences as well. But, it take two should probably have a small warning for emotional content. Split fiction is a ton of fun but does get kinda difficult for less seasoned players. I found it endearing helping through those sections, but it could be harder for others. There are some moments that we both audibly wowed at though! That made the difficulty worth it.

Microsoft really shit the bed. And then continued to do so. This makes me happy.

Are you talking about Lumo or is there another way to access their models?

I can’t say for certain they are but I’m of the same generation as him and grew up around conservatives that considered that type of “America at any cost” media to be sacred texts.

When you scratch the surface on it, it’s all just thinly veiled jingoism in a glossy suit. Hence homeboys desire here to have a “cool guy” jacket with unearned valor on it.

It’s 100% about the optics at the photo op after the real work has been done by someone trained and qualified.

Hot Shots - Part Douche: The 3th One

It’s moments like this where we can see how much copoganda really affected some people’s perspective on the world. I am willing to bet there is no small part of this person‘s reality that they don’t think is straight out of a Tom Clancy novel, and they are the forces of good and justice.

I guess being realistic with where we are now, straight out of an Amazon TV Tom Clancy series.

I’d really like to hope it’s a genuine effort to preserve history.

There’s a lot of history on Steam and losing it to dead os’es sucks. I know my account has a few hundred games that are a pain in the ass to get running on modern hardware without PCGamingWiki, ModDB, Widescreen Gaming Forums, etc…

Be cool to have them plug and play under proton.

Thanks for the kind response. I feel the downvotes are somewhat justified, I was engaging in a little bit of classic trolling. I have worked in tech-support long enough to have been sent and referenced several xkcd comics.

And unfortunately, not throwing a /s On my initial comment led to it whooshing right past a fair number of people apparently

Cheers friend! Have a great day.

What’s xdkc?!

How are people in a gaming community on lemmy unaware of what this is? These comments are ridiculous.

After spending the past 2 hours trying to get Banishers running on Linux, I’ll say no if that is something that interests you. What a shit show.

Swype Gang for life. I remember being so stoked to get in the beta.

Smartphones used to be cool.

If they’re typing I fear it may already be too late.
