I liked SoM but War felt like a worse dlc

the cable/internet bill, normally it was $270 a month

Jeebus, no wonder companies are doing all they can to cram ads everywhere. They were living high on the hog and streaming essentially gutted their shady price gouging.

Yeah you can use two controllers to mimic the more modern twin stick ones that have become standard, but I don’t think too many people figured that out back then. Still though, controller will never be as good as mouse + keyboard for FPS games.

Yeah it already had inferior controls at the time if you were familiar with FPS gaming on computers. But it was still a ton of fun and when I went back to it some years ago I fell back into the n64 controller muscle memory no problem

I love that there’s 30 years of free mods to play as well. People just basically never stopped playing doom, which I think is a beautiful thing.

From that pic, they’re clearly just waiting to hear yub nub

I hadn’t played so I just checked out a beginner’s guide and I don’t think they’re very similar at all.

In FTL you’re pretty much going from point to point on a map which mostly have encounters with single ships. You try to collect resources for upgrades or new weapons. At shops you can repair or buy things, and you’ll find new crew members there or organically through events. There are a few different ways to do combat (different kinds of guns/missiles, drones, or boarding enemy ships), and everything builds to a boss battle in the final sector.

I’m sure there are some vids that can lay out the basics in a few mins, but if it sounds anything like a genre you’re interested in I’d say 3 bucks is a steal for it. As a roguelike it’s got a lot of replayability.

FTL ftw

I know today’s 10,000 and all that, but if there are people who made it to lemmy without running across loss I’d love to understand how
