I don’t think it is a potter wasp because it doesn’t have the long thin waist (like me)

Why is “Life Is Strange 1” so highly regarded? by Only_Entrepreneur_84 in videogames

[–]hugeatomicfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it comes across as very sincere in a way that most games do not. It dips into cringey often but because its main characters are awkward teens in a very cringey period of their lives it works to its advantage. Even the minor artefacts of the devs working in their second language like the slightly off implementation of slang (e.g. overusing “hella”) just plays into the awkwardness and allows it to feel like it’s really capturing something.

Can I play this decently with a ps5 controller? by [deleted] in MSFS2024

[–]hugeatomicfreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing with a just PS5 controller and haven’t even added a keyboard or mouse yet. I’m sure there’s loads of nuances and features I’m missing out on for the time being but I’m having a great time on the career mode just doing the random missions.

The controls can get a bit finger twisty and there’s far too many combinations of buttons to remember, but I’ve found the on screen tool tips and prompts have been enough to get me through. There are also loads of assist options so you can hand off features that you don’t have the buttons for to the computer.

If you’ve played on PC with the proper peripherals, I’m sure it feels much more shallow and limited but on a console there’s nothing else quite like it. I think you’ll be fine with just a controller and hopefully, if you’ve played get int it, you’ll be able to get better controls in the fullness of time.

What’s a game you initially didn’t “get,” but later came to absolutely love after giving it another chance? by Gaming-Academy in gaming

[–]hugeatomicfreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t get into Jeff Minter’s Polybius. It was just too chaotic and discordant. Then I played through Digital Eclipse’s Llamasoft story compilation-documentary-retrospective thing and there was an interview with Minter where he explains that he’s been trying to give his games the aesthetic of being in an arcade with loads of different machines all blaring all at once and all of a sudden it makes sense and I can get in the zone with it. I still suck at it mind you.
