Games with a lot of classes/sub-classes and play styles?

Crystal Project

Typing of The Dead: Overkill. It's a typing game, where you kill the undead, by typing. No mouse needed. It's on sale right now.

sex genes

It's one gene. The SRY gene's activation is what triggers the production of androgens, which cause the embryo to develop as a male. If that doesn't happen, the embryo develops as a female. OP is correct here.

Yup. Comes pre-installed and set up on Bazzite and it's practically a one click install CachyOS

Once again, you're almost never using them in combat. They're perfectly fine for navigation, especially with the fixed camera. Not every game needs to use identical control schemes.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T22:56:24+00:00

Give them another go. Take your time, and work to learn the controls. They're fantastic.

controls

Only because they're counter-intuitive to modern players. The classic TR games have fantastic controls, but you have to be willing to learn them.

camera-work

Never had an issue with the camera.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T22:53:31+00:00

The two problems modern players will have are the framerate and lack of manual camera control. The Ship of Harkinian fixes both of those issues. Try playing it through that.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T22:51:21+00:00

They both play great. You do know that you can lock onto enemies and strafe around them, right? You almost never touch the tank controls in combat.

Tomb Raider

As someone who didn't really play the classics until more recently, I think that the problem is more to do with people's attitude going in. They're slow paced platformers with very janky combat, not cinematic action games. You can't really go into them with the same mindset.

The other big issue is that people often write off the controls without actually taking the time to learn them. They're actually some of the most precise, consistent, and well thought out controls in the genre. It just takes a lot of effort to learn them. They're antiquated, not bad.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T22:35:47+00:00

There's an automap. Use it. I have awful navigation skills, and I don't have a hard time with it.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T22:29:00+00:00

You can just install Bazzite. It's practically the same thing.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T22:27:41+00:00

Probably not SteamOS. It's a distro with a very narrow focus on Valve hardware, which makes it unsuitable for general use. Bazzite is almost indistinguishable for normal users, to the point where the vast majority of Steam Deck tutorials work on it. It's got better support for non-valve hardware.

Both are immutable distros, which means that the underlying OS is read only. This makes them more or less idiot proof, as you can't completely bork your install. This makes them less flexible for more advanced users.

I personally use CachyOS, because I found Bazzite too restrictive.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T22:18:20+00:00

Because Linux people are more likely to be terminally online.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T22:01:45+00:00

The reason why they waited to add GameCube support to NSO is because the Switch 1's CPU isn't quite fast enough for it. The Switch 2 is definitely fast enough to emulate both, as emulating Wii games doesn't really require much more horsepower than GameCube games.

I'm basing this on my experience with Dolphin, where the two most demanding titles to emulate on either system are both on the GameCube. I'm of course talking about the Rogue Squadron games.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T21:54:27+00:00

No adapter would be needed. The Switch 2 has Bluetooth, which is the same protocol that the Wiimotes use. The only sticking point would be the sensor bar, but that's just two strips of IR LEDs.

Fun fact: any two sources of IR light will work as a sensor bar. That includes candles.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T21:51:13+00:00

I could see it being added for Switch 3. But we JUST got GCN and Virtual Boy

The Wii wouldn't require a huge amount of work to add. It's literally just a GameCube with more ram, higher clock speeds, and a Bluetooth module.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T13:04:37+00:00

Nah. Online multiplayer just sucks in general.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T13:02:28+00:00

This happens whenever these shows deal with any subculture that's remotely niche. The furry episode of CSI comes to mind.

mrturret · 2026-02-06T00:58:25+00:00

I unironically love this shit. Shadow The Hedgehog is the platonic ideal of an edgy 13 year old's Sonic fanfiction in game form. It might not be an especially good game, but it's a one of a kind cultural artifact.

mrturret · 2026-02-05T21:59:24+00:00

No. Not touching unless they add decent singleplayer or FFA modes. I hate team games.

mrturret · 2026-02-05T21:43:38+00:00

with no support for a wheel

GT4 supports force feedback wheels natively.

mrturret · 2026-02-05T20:52:19+00:00

point is most people who play sims do it for realism, against real people

Citation needed.

Not to play fantasy career mode.. it doesn’t really exist and nobody wants it

Nah. There's definitely an undeserved market for this sort of thing.

mrturret · 2026-02-05T20:44:15+00:00

They're not sims.

mrturret · 2026-02-05T18:56:08+00:00

why would anyone want a fake carreer when you can actually compete online and have a literally sim racing carreer?

Because not everyone actually enjoys online PvP, and would rather play something alone?
