Each is a collection of usually trivia or party game-style minigames for groups of two or more. They're pretty sassy and the narrator/host voice seems like a cool guy. The early You Don't Know Jack games were I think explicitly just trivia, but the newer ones - Jackbox - are the collections of party games, always with at least one trivia-based one like the originals but also sometimes with drawing or wordplay, they're pretty varied. They're a lot of fun! The ones from the last decade have players use smartphones or computers or whatever and go to a URL to join the "room" to actually enter answers or draw or whatever, while the game itself plays out on the TV/PC. It kinda sounds stupid at first but it works really well with guests or friends. Squiggle fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Aug 14, 2021 |

explosivo posted:Wow, I had no idea about this. I actually learned about this with the controllers on my Rift S - they seemed fine as long as you were only interacting with one hand, but I noticed in ALL games where you hold a gun or sword two-handed it would freak the gently caress out, jump all over the place with recoil, slap around at crazy angles, it was like the tracking was broken as soon as you tried to hold an object with both "hands." I just assumed all VR was janky as poo poo, until I saw Youtube videos of people doing impossibly-coordinated moves in Blade & Sorcery or easily managing the recoil on a gun in Boneworks. I started randomly reconnecting things in desperation and switching the USB half of the Rift S cable from a blue port a regular 2.0 fixed everything instantly. I can recreate it just by plugging it back into the wrong ports. It's crazy, I had genuinely no idea. Squiggle fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Aug 24, 2021 |

Maigius posted:This is going to sound like a silly question but what are some of the current "system benchmark" games that you use to show off your new system? Newest thing I have available is Witcher 3. Not silly, and Control is very pretty with RTX but has a brutalist look that isn't....flashy, most of the time? Definitely one of the better looking games I've played. But I got lucky enough to get a 3080 Ti and the answers I found more or less amounted to Microsoft Flight Simulator, Control, and Metro Exodus. Flight Sim is fantastic, actually, but obviously requires a bit of a setup.

I'd take the chance to step up from a 500W and get the proper connectors assuming you can get that thing out. It's probably an old attitude, but I'm not loving with power. EDIT: Hell, it's probably worth getting a case that LETS you swap it out if you can't.

OzFactor posted:It's on sale so I am likely going to finally get Dragon Quest XI, but I'm pretty nitpicky about things like this: does the game let you use the mouse? Like can you click on things in menus or is it like FF12 where the keyboard is just emulating a controller? Because I really don't like that, I'm on a drat computer and I want to use my drat mouse. I'd probably just wait and buy it on the Switch if I can't use the mouse. Buy it on Switch. You will find no satisfaction dying on the KB+M hill for anything like DQ11. And believe me I'm a KB+M guy!

Unpacking is something else, I'm really really into the unexpected storytelling. In the...third? home when your character moves in with her boyfriend and you realize you can't move any of the framed concert posters or guitar, so the only place your framed diploma fits is tucked under the bed I realized immediately this was going to be a thing. And the items tell such a story...the back pain pads and cane starting so young, the things she took from homes and roommates past, unpacking her new partner's things and realizing what's different, just really surprisingly emotional stuff. It leaves you just with the artifacts of an implied life and the freedom/curse to fill in the details yourself. I'm up to...I believe 2015, so I'm not done yet, but I get the feeling this thing is going to roll me over by the end. Squiggle fucked around with this message at 19:55 on Nov 5, 2021 |

I jumped on it for the zen aspect, and didn't expect it either! I thought the different rooms in the trailers and screenshots were just...you know, random rooms. But you're "playing" the same person through a lifetime of moves, and it's making me realize how much our stuff can tell about us. It's an extremely pure example of "show-don't-tell," and I'm really into it. If you're interested then I'd suggest skipping my spoilers and go into it as blind as you can, but to elaborate on the first example I blacked out in the boyfriend's apartment, you can move just about anything else - pick up after him, re-arrange his underwear drawer(there's even an achievement!) - but you ain't touching his "babies." It's such a neon red flag that it made me look around again, consider the disparity between your own colorful, sunny things and his sleek, grayscale American Psycho aesthetic. Then, how little space you're really getting in this arrangement. I can practically imagine her pausing, coming to the same dim realizations herself, resigning to sliding her art degree (which, through the ever-growing stock of art supplies or sketch books she never throws out, you know is extremely important to her identity!) under the bed... and then knowing the next level takes place two years later. Tried to make it work for two years. And then a few scenes after that, you realize it was probably even more complicated. And gently caress, maybe I'm reading these situations wrong, too! Did she take this colander out of spite, was it unwanted in the first place, was it an accident? It conveys so much information without saying a single word, but it's the hazy implications and unconfirmable possibilities that have me thinking about it during work today. I don't want to imply that it's Gilgamesh with item placement, the arrangement IS still the main point, but...there's a life story being told, and it's made me think about the things I've kept (or found, or stolen) throughout my life and what they may say about me.

I was having fun with the Boston-Providence route in Train Sim World 2 but when I went to read reviews about it it's apparently MIXED. I'm enjoying a MIXED dlc, ghastly edit: but it's all people complaining about random speed limit changes and delays on the route and to be honest if you've ever ridden the T that is extremely realistic. Train nerds are the worst User reviews are the worst Squiggle fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Nov 11, 2021 |

Quakeworld? I can't remember if that was ever explicitly sold as its own thing. And if you want to get into MMOs, Ultima was 1997. The first online only thing I can think of is Air Warriors. It was on AOL, but I'm pretty sure it ran on BBS before that some crazy how.

Anonymous Robot posted:I hated XCOM2 vanilla, I think it’s a bad game that is miraculously turned into a great game by War of the Chosen. Just play that straight off, the learning curve isn’t a big deal. Just stay away from the “mysterious alien weapons” mission, that kicks off the alien lords DLC which sucks poo poo. Agreed with all of this, just play it all at once. I don't go back to games generally, and it was perfectly fine.
