Are you gonna buy anything in the Steam Summer Sale?
  • The deals seem better this year but why buy anything if I'll just play the same 3 games?

  • Fellow completionists: What are some games that are very fun *especially* as completionist games, where the extra goals you dont *have* to complete add to the experiance if you do? (also read body)
  • All three Dark Souls have very easy 100% achievements that boil down to seeing everything in the game more so than completing difficult challenges. There are one or two that are, admittedly, annoying. But it's not something stupid like "Finish the game in 10 hours!" or "kill every boss while staying level 1".

    There are recognitions for finishing a playthrough without dying or using a bonfire in DS2, but that's for the crazy people. And aren't achievements in the traditional sense.

  • Israeli far-right minister speaks of effort to annex West Bank | The Guardian
  • They never cared about being democratic.

  • Victoria 3 Patch 1.7 + Spheres of Influence Expansion drops this Monday
  • Great, more mechanics I'll struggle to learn!

  • Dark souls 1 pyromancer
  • The change I feel is mostly for balance. Since PvP only cared about your level pyromancies were freat for twinking. Also you didn't really have a way to gate how strong a pyromancer could be at any point of the game since the flame required souls and nothing else to upgrade.

  • Dark souls 1 pyromancer
  • If you like being overpowered, then yeah lol.

    Pyromancy is not only very strong for straight damage, but also has strong support spells. Also requires no stats other than for slots.

  • "As a Eastern European, does this Soviet city builder let me build a historically accurate totalitarian dystopia"
  • Which is funny that it is included since I don't remember any other city builders requiring your police to evict people, crush protests and strikes.

  • "Ogre Tactics" is a fuckin legend
  • Would you recommend, for a newcomer to this genre, this or Final fantasy tactics?

  • Gamers: wtf i love China now
  • If what I've learned about South Korean gender wars applies here, she probably just liked a tweet the chuds didn't.

  • They are literally losing territory. They even lost Avdiivka earlier this year, one their biggest fortresses. Are you seriously arguing that they are somehow winning?

  • I mean, Ukraine is losing. What kind of deal do you think they can negotiate?

  • vote biden because porn
  • That porn addicts aren't satisfied by vanilla porn?

  • vote biden because porn
  • Porn addicts are already hooked on the illegal kind anyway.

  • What's the dumbest blockbuster movie you have seen that somehow received high praise?
  • The movie was great until that lame "solution" to the alien problem.

  • DPRK released 1400 trash balloons into South Korea from June 8-9, statement from DPRK
  • So the collaboration government upped their cross border provocation and they retaliated, but media conveniently left out the first part, as usual.

  • Derogatory terms for Usonians in your native languages?
  • Gringo isn't usually used to refer specifically to usonians though.

  • [DE] The origins of Moralism
  • One of the things that gave me a whiplash (but makes perfect sense in context) is how the socialists in Ostalgie:Berlin Wall are referred to as conservatives.

    How Geopolitically Realistic is Fallout's Great War?

    Has your average commonplace unchallenged ideas of China, but is overall a great video.

    It's funny that people hate pay to win.

    It's as if getting an advantage because of money instead of merit and effort is unfair. Such a wild idea could only really work on videogames haha.

    Last Epoch is pretty fun

    Enjoyed blasting through the campaign. Except where you notice they released the chapters later and the difficulty spikes are pretty bonkers if you ask me.

    The way you build your character is also much more manageable compared to something like Path of Exile too, so that's a big plus for me.

    PAX East is this week. Is your favorite game going to be there?

    There's rumors FFXIV will announce the release date for the next expansion, but I'm not so sure. What other games will have panels or interesting things going on there?

    Yes, it's over literally nothing. Yes, gamers are harassing people.

    So the dems are really just gonna let Trump win

    We all know there's no difference between them (specially if you live outside the US), but I'm actually impressed how little the Biden campaign is doing. All they really got is "Trump bad", some bs about inflation being under control (if you exclude rent and food) and "protecting LGBT rights" (which I might have missed but Biden did literally nothing about?).

    They should want to win to have their party implement the oligarchic plans and get that sweet sweet lobbying money right? Or are the elites actually preferring Trump right now?

    Once again Argentina will try their chances with the West. This time it will surely work.

    Do any of you still enjoy MMOs?

    I hated them when I was kid so I missed the golden age (also didn't really have money for the good ones).

    Now I'm very entrenched into FFXIV and GW2 but there isn't really a community here on lemmy for them.

    I love all the great games that have been coming out lately!

    Time to put in another 100h in the same game I've been playing for half a decade!

    Any good tower defense games?

    I got gemcraft on a friend's recommendation but it has a strange interest in grinding xp and feels like a mobile game despite not having microtransactions.

    Are there any games of this genre worth playing still?

    So, is it just me that would like to have any tipe of indication of what account I'm using to comment?

    Maybe I'm alone in this, but lemmy kind of expects you to have multiple accounts (at least when .world goes down), so knowing which one I'm using when writing a comment would be helpful (even if switching on the fly wouldn't be feasible).

    Who to follow on mastodon?

    I never really used twitter, but since mastodon is the FOSS version that people seem to like, I've been trying it. But it's kind of hard if you don't know anyone to follow ¯\\\(ツ)\/¯ .

    Anyway, any suggestions? It doesn't have to be necessarily about leftism, just people you find worthwhile to follow.

    So, what are you getting from the wizards vault?

    The legendary chest seems like a great deal (even though the weapons aren't particularly my cup of tea). The skin is an interesting pick, but other than that, what are you gunning for?
