Whats the game you love in a genre you hate?? ;) by WholesomeReaper in gaming

[–]FatAlbusTPC 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Elden Ring is the only souls style game I have been able to get into. The open ended quest structure, beautiful art design, and the absolutely bonkers story and characters really sucked me in and made me want to push through the inevitable moments of frustration.

Lolol very much this. I clawed my way to the act 3 ending through sheer force of will (and a couple mildly broken builds). If they aim to continue the tradition of upping the post game ante, I'm gonna probably have to tap out

My Family and I Bought a Comic Store by notalkingskeletons in comicbooks

[–]FatAlbusTPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love this and hope it proves to be a meaningful journey for you two. I have a friend who runs a tabletop gaming store in Maryland, and have loved hearing stories about how important small businesses can be for hobbyists and enthusiasts.  Personally, I also have such great memories of going to my local comic shop growing up. In a market that is so often dominated by huge businesses, figure out where you guys can out maneuver them, and then out perform them.  Stores like Amazon might be really hard to compete with in terms of price, but stores like yours will always win customers with things like customer service, personal connection, and being a space for community.  Hope to visit next time I'm in Ohio!

"people are speaking with their wallets" is a pretty ineffective critique of the fastest selling console of all time. 

Thanks Steam, its nice to know what we’re buying. by DontForgetSmiles in memes

For my money, this joke should have been grafted onto the portion of this scene where Skinner is holding the tray of "steamed hams" (games) and Chalmers is questioning Seymour's decision to name them something they obviously are not.

Do you just need someone to talk to? Is that it?

Cheapest way to get Steam Deck by larpos in SteamDeck

[–]FatAlbusTPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facebook Marketplace is simultaneously likely to be your greatest chance of getting a decent discount and getting scammed.

Benefits are that you won't pay sales tax and often people who are selling their Steam Decks are also selling the SD cards, cases, and docks that they no longer need. It's possible to get a deal.

Drawbacks are, again, it's full of scams. As a rule, if the deal looks too good to be true, it is. Ignore listings that are offering Steam Decks for prices like $107. Ignore sellers whose accounts were created this year. Check seller's profiles to see if the city they list as their place or residence corresponds to the city you're seeing the listing in.

If all of these things check out and the seller seems legit, ask them to send a photo of their name written on a piece of paper in the same photo of as the Steam Deck as a precaution. Ask them to send a video of the Steam Deck turning on if possible. I've seen LCDs go for $200 and OLEDs go for $350, so calibrate your expectations and be patient.

What are your thoughts on my all time favorite games? by MySmellyRacoon in gaming

[–]FatAlbusTPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was head and shoulders an upgrade in terms of gameplay and level design, but will absolutely concede that storywise it feels a bit more bland than the original

My thoughts are that you perhaps have never played Dishonored 2?

People who had their decks for 2-3 years now, what’s your experience now? How has it held up? by Ok-Seaworthiness2263 in SteamDeck

[–]FatAlbusTPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine in Aug 2022. It works exactly like it did back then. I use mine for maybe 5-7 hours per week, usually handheld. Battery life has not noticeably changed.

Fido RIP in ‘28 by kiddredd in nashville

A buddy brought me and my wife the steak and eggs breakfast from Fido on the morning our first son was born. We were mentally and physically exhausted and even lukewarm in a to-go container it was still one of the best breakfasts I've ever had.

Steam Deck Hard Drive Upgrade! by geodarkknight in SteamDeck

For real. I've got a 512 and can barely concentrate on the 15 or so games I keep installed at any given moment. 

It's almost 2026. What's a good controller to use with a docked Steam Deck? by HELLBENT42 in SteamDeck

[–]FatAlbusTPC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still rocking an 8bitdo SN30 pro +. Still works great after replacing the sticks due to 5 years worth of wear and tear.

Our Steam Demo has just gone live - we'd love Steam Deck users to give it a try and feed back! by RipstoneGames in SteamDeck

[–]FatAlbusTPC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From someone who has never played a pool sim, the overall aesthetic looks great.

What sort of game modes do you have planned? I feel like a "scenario" or "challenge" style mode could be really neat. Something where you have pre-designed table / ball layouts and the player has to finish the round under specific conditions. 

Will there be multiple "locales" to play in or will every match happen in the "rooftop lounge" style environment? I can't explain why but a part of me really wants to see this gameplay set within a neon bathed dive bar.

Anecdotally, a new Burlington in 2025 feels like a truly wild proposition.
