Helicopter Joe turned into Hamburger Joe! :o

Glad I could help with your decision. AMD is at a huge disadvantage, Nvidia makes a bunch of proprietary technology which AMD can’t even hope to support. Where as most AMD tech is open source, and Nvidia can just, plop support for whatever it is into their cards with little to no effort on their part. But as a user, it’s hard to sit there and buy AMD when I actively get hindered when trying to do things which, a user should be able to do without issue. So, while I definitely appreciate AMD and their efforts, I will probably go with Nvidia for my next GPU upgrade, if this trend continues.

I am someone who does not get tired of things easily, I hook onto it and it becomes one of the few things I play for years, it’s very difficult to get me into other things. I’ll play pretty much anything, mainly because games are just a way for me to do something while talking with friends, the game isn’t important. But very few games are actually fun for me.

I like the rollback mods, however the experience I’m trying to recreate with the mod I’m programming is the feel of a modded game back in the day. Not just returning to Alpha minecraft, but returning to Modded Alpha Minecraft. So far, I think i’m doing an okay job. Been modding on 1.6.4, since the way modding works got completely changed after that, and I have no interest learning everything over again, especially when I’m removing most of the new features as is.

I don’t game much, but a game I’ve absolutely been enjoying when I feel like playing is “Plateup!”. It’s like Overcooked, but if overcooked was a fun game, a roguelike and had a bunch of cool mods!

Occasionally, I also work on my Minecraft modding project, which I’ve been on and off working on for a few years now. To try and bring the game back to a time where I enjoyed it, adding features I’d like to see and removing ones I didn’t like added.

My wife has a switch, she says it’s our switch, which might be technically true. But I just have no interest in any games for modern consoles enough to shell out the cash to buy them and then play them. I have too many games I don’t play as is. xD

I’d say pearl was my first real Pokémon game. Like, I had some Pokémon games before that, but Pearl was the first main series Pokémon game I actually finished (and then some). Back in the day, back when my online friends and I were too retarded to know of any other platform, we would use Pokémon Pearl as the go-to voice chat platform, before we found out about Skype.

I currently have a Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU in my system, which I got not too long ago. It’s been working good, though I will admit the lack of AMD support on certain platforms was very discouraging. Like Unity (which I occasionally messed around with) doesn’t support GPU light baking on AMD, which was very disappointing. There was another thing that I found didn’t support AMD either after trying it (don’t remember what it was right off the top of my head.) However, if I could redo, i’d probably have gotten an Nvidia card, for these facts alone. I just really hate being limited artificially, though I also didn’t like being stuck in Nvidia’s shitty ecosystem. Especially since, like you said, their Linux support is sub-par.

I love this image.

Just want to chime in here, if you don’t want to see NSFW content you can hide it on your profile. Only reason I’m pointing this out is because this particular comment seems to have the goal of hiding NSFW content from view in general. Something entirely possible in Lemmy profile settings as seen in the attached image.

I think Playing Pearl and Soul Silver are probably some of my fondest DS Memories, maybe even my fondest handheld memories. Those games were really good, I still go back to them sometimes.

That’s crazy! Always wished I had experiences like that. You’re kind of lucky to have had such an experience, I don’t think people really have the same sort of experiences anymore. Even though technology is constantly advancing, the leaps all make sense now, everything is kinda like “oh, yeah, I guess you can do that.” Whereas before, I imagine it was more like “Wait, YOU CAN DO THAT?!?!??!?”

There are very few games I can really sit back and enjoy alone. For me, gaming has turned into almost exclusively a social activity, with some rare exceptions here and there.

But when there is a game I can vibe with on my own, those are always the best!

I’d say I do 90% of my gaming on Linux. There’s really only a very small number of games I have to use Windows for, and recently have just been going without. To be fair though, I’m also not the biggest gamer in the world, only playing a few games with friends every now and then.

That does sound like it would a truly mind-blowing experience. Did it feel like it all happened like all at once? Or did it feel gradual?
