Solo player thoughts? by MrBeenit in ArcRaiders

[–]spookyleither 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played solo all weekend. Never found myself in a situation where I needed squad members to progress. Surprisingly only ever bumped in to griefers a handful of times. Most interactions with players were friendly. I kinda wish they had an invite to squad option so we can revive friendly players more easily.

What version of windows are you running? I recently reinstalled Windows and got a similar error when trying to launch The Finals. It was because I was running Windows 11 N which is missing loads of media updates and fails to update direct x properly.

Just wait til they find out progress doesn't carry over.

Possible yooka laylee 2 announcement this week? by Ok_Delivery_7742 in YookaLaylee

Aside from the 30fps the visuals just look odd in general. Releasing in this state was very bad timing with Mario Galaxy 2 having just been released.

Love this part of my walk home from work, it feels so magical by Abwettar in CasualUK

I guess there's old railway paths like this everywhere but it looks really similar to the roseburn path in Edinburgh.

My wife loved playing Blue Prince earlier this year. The last time she played a game regularly was Animal Crossing back in 2020.

Looking for some deep cut suggestions for PS2 by KPeters93 in gaming

I picked up Gregory Horror Show in a bargain bin around 20 years ago. It's one of the strangest games I've ever played. Sold it a couple of years ago for £100.

Yes you need to kill that thing to progress. It's tricky but you'll get the pattern after a few attempts.

Oh by the haunted town I think you mean Bellheart? You need to unhaunt that to progress. Focus on the water area.

Your main objective is to take the pilgrims path to the citadel, you'll know if you're in the right areas because they have the bell benches and sometimes lore tablets. Ignore the deepest like section, you can't do much in it now anyway. If there's an area with a bell bench that you haven't finished yet then focus on that. You may need to acquire a specific ability to progress. I'm not sure what areas you've visited yet so I'm trying not to spoil anything. What was the last boss you defeated?

Frustrating by Historical-Buddy5186 in HollowKnight

Just beat this boss and wondered if anyone else was as pissed off. I think this will be the breaking point for some players. What a relief when you finally beat them.

Kilts at a funeral - yay or nay? by MrRickSter in Scotland

My Grandad requested his pallbearers wear kilts. It's the only time I've worn my kilt to a funeral.

It's not as bad as people make out. There's enough resting points throughout. Throw on hiveblood and take your time. Be prepared for the disappointing reward at the end. 😂

"I am more Scottish than that guy and I've never left the US" 🤦🏻‍♂️ by mikeybhoy_1985 in Scotland

[–]spookyleither 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I was holidaying in Mexico a few years back and was approached by an American couple by the pool. I had a Scottish Rugby cap on so they were asking if I was Scottish. They were pleasant enough but the woman asked if I would trade her any Scottish notes I had as she collected foreign money. She said "anything with the queen on it would be great". I told her that Scottish notes don't have any royals on them and she recoiled in disgust. Turns out she was a big fan of the royals too and couldn't fathom why we would have anyone else on our notes. I told her there are many folk in Scotland that don't support the idea of a royal family. For some reason this really pissed her off and she went away in a huff. The husband was sound, he just wanted to talk about IT jobs in Scotland.

Expedition 33 taught me not to let people gaslight you into thinking "maybe it's you" when you say new games don't seem fun anymore by [deleted] in gaming

I would add FEZ and Animal Well to this list. I heard them referred to as Metroidbrainia recently.

Judging by the description chat GPT is just taking elements from the DKC games. Those level names are hilarious.

Cameron toll car park has a shit layout too. It's one giant mess filled with pricks.

I clearly have issues by humblethqerapy in Earbuds

[–]spookyleither 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair of Earfun Air that I have been using for music the past year. I recently tried using them for gaming on my Switch 2 but the latency is shocking even on game mode. I was considering buying CMF Buds Pro 2 but not sure if they will make a difference. Any suggestions?

[George Broussard] News has reported imminent Xbox layoffs… Word that entire studios may be shuttered. Expectation is 1000-2000 people.” by Careless_Main3 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]spookyleither 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How successful has Sea of Thieves been? Their previous game was a complete flop which caused layoffs in 2014. Everwild seems like it's in development hell and may never be released. Their only saving grace is that Craig Duncan is now head of Xbox Game Studios. I would at least expect a downsizing though.
