People are savages. We are still not much different than chimps, we just look more civilized now.

If someone judges someone else for an unworthy reason like playing games than that person's judgment shouldn't be taken seriously anyway.

We can choose to be better it’s just most people don’t

We cant change others but we can change ourselves. We only need to make the effort.

I still play my Nintendo 3DS. Has a massive games library. So many fun games. No reason to play newer "fancier" games.

Super Mario Wonder will be there when you're ready, and it'll be every bit as good then as it is now.

Pick up a Switch whenever the second one lands. Preferably the original model, to make joystick replacement simpler.

I already have one actually. Joy cons drift and games are too expensive. I'll probably jailbreak it someday and sail the seas

Space. Legs.

You have them. You can't really use them. Such is the way of the grind towards actual gameplay in the modern age.

Meanwhile, Futuremark had a fully 3D space FPS back in 2008, called Shattered Horizon. It never really took off, but if you imagine those duels in Ender's Game in zero G, it was like that except you could thrust in any direction. Such an untapped dimension of gameplay, up and down were all relative and you were never really safe behind cover.

I think the bigger issue would be finding someone to play against. Although I haven't tried in 12 years.

I bought that game for a fiver, never played it, but now I'm intrigued.
There seem to be people in the community trying to set up games.

Speaking of 3D battles nobody is playing I want people to play Rogue Squadron again. It’s all rebel vs imperial fighter battles it’s so much fun. But it’s totally empty.

Not sure why you brought it up, but I did love the shit out of that game for the few months it had a decent player count. There really hasn't been anything since to replicate that style of true zero-g combat.

You guys sold me. It's not for sale anywhere anymore though! Checked steam, GOG, is there any deal , no where to be found. Would have to pirate it I imagine. We should get this group that replied in the comments to play together. It seems like its possible

Life is good, people suck.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 year ago

Anyone shit talking people just minding their own business never socio-emotionally developed beyond being a tween. Unfortunately they're all too common.

Life is good when people suck ☺️
