Day 108 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • The first two paragraphs of the spoiler is one of my favorite parts of the game. It is such an awesome detail and had me giggling like a crazy person.

  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - ‘A Betting Man’ Trailer
  • Eh, I'd argue it's because of the modding community that Bloodlines 1 is still played today, especially with the unofficial patch.

  • In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?
  • I would love to see F.E.A.R. with updated graphics. Preferably just a remaster, but if it was remade in the same spirit as the Dead Space remake was, I'd be down for that too, especially if they brought back Fettel's voice actor.

  • Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - ‘A Betting Man’ Trailer

    A brand new trailer for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2! World of Darkness says that it will release in the first half of 2025. No specific date yet.

    Random Screenshots of my Games #29 - Dagon
  • Oh, I love this game! Really short and easy, and the narrator is fantastic. But I might be a little bias, since Dagon is my favorite in the Cthulhu Mythos, haha.

  • Have you ever purchased the full-sized version of a free sample you received?
  • I was addicted to Sam's Hatch Chile Cheese Flavored Peanuts from the first time I tried them while walking by one of their many sample carts. They were a limited run, so I was very sad when Sam's stopped carrying them. But, they did start stocking the seasoning itself, so I got that going for me.

  • What are some of the rules about the Internet that were taught to you but are now completely ignored?
  • Every time someone does that it weirds me out because in the 90s telling (and asking) people those things would have been such a suspicious, sketchy move.

    And now it's come 180 in that some see it as a red flag if you don't give up that information. I had someone on a different social media site accuse me of being a bot because I wouldn't give up the specific town I'm from. I've seen it happen to others too. It is both fascinating and insane how viewpoints have changed regarding identifying yourself online.

  • Day 76 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Bulk photo Post 2: Variety Hour)
  • I agree with it being one of the greatest! I can't wait to see where they take the story next.

  • Lemmy's have you ever been "profiled" or judged preemptively? What is your story ?
  • I've into the goth scene for about two thirds of my life now, and I can't tell you how many times I've been asked if I'm sad or depressed. Back in college I showed up to class with some elbow length fingerless gloves, and the dude I usually sat next to practically tore them off because he thought I was covering up cutting myself. His defense was "I have a friend who dresses kind of like you, and they were those gloves to cover up scars." Well, my dude, I am not your friend and you now no longer have a study partner. I sat elsewhere the rest of the semester.

  • Heyo, what have you done this month to make yourself better?
  • I've started working on portion control. I don't necessarily eat "bad" food, but I tend to gorge out when it comes to meal time, which hasn't been great for my weight. But I'm finally sick of not being able to wear some of my favorite shirts anymore, and it'll be good for my overall heath anyway.

  • Day 76 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots (Bulk photo Post 2: Variety Hour)
  • In one of the DLCs (Signal, I think?), you end up going through the kitchen, so that's probably why it's so fleshed out.

    Man, you've reminded me that I need to replay this and the sequel before the Lake House DLC comes out this month! It's such a great series.

  • Is Google Maps getting worse?
  • The biggest complaint I've had lately is that it will randomly alter my route without letting me know when or why. More than one it has told me to turn when the route it showed me before I hit "start" did not have a turn at that point.

  • What letter has the best games?
  • I agree with D, and would also like to submit the Dead Space games.

  • Domino's or Pizza Hut?
  • Domino's for me. At my local chains, they've been consistently better than Pizza Hut and even the local pizza place. Pizza Hut is cheaper, but their stuff here is kinda bland. And I got food poisoning from them once lol. The local pizza place likes to overcook and burn their stuff; I have no idea how they're still in business.

  • Spooky Games
  • I second Alien: Isolation. I always like to call it the best stress I've ever experienced while playing a game.

  • Spooky Games
  • Man, I played this a couple months ago, and it is indeed tense. I had the same feeling playing this as I did Alien: Isolation. I was crawling on the ground most of the time, and I like that with every playthough the items are randomized. It's a solid entry to the entire Amnesia series (and better than Rebirth imo)

  • Remedy replacing Bowie song from Alan Wake over 'licensing'
  • But I also trust Remedy to have replaced it with a solid song.

    I wonder if they'll replace it with an original song, like the music they did for Alan Wake 2. Either way, if playing Remedy games over the years has taught me anything, it's that Sam Lake (or his team, at least), has an excellent taste in music.

  • Any good games that break the mold
  • The Painscreek Killings sounds like the open ended deduction that you're describing. You play as a journalist who goes to an abandoned town to try to solve a cold case murder. The game doesn't tell you where or what to do next, or how to do it. I liked it because it was just me trying to figure the story out and what to do, not the game telling me "Put x and y together. Oh, look, it leads you to z!" (Also it's currently on sale on Steam for like 5 bucks.)

  • What game, book, TV show, and/or movie do you wish you could experience for the first time again?
  • The first BioShock game. I don't know how I managed to go so long without it being spoiled for me, but man, I'm glad it wasn't.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I used to love writing little short stories and whatnot as a cathartic emotional outlet, but over the past couple years I just... haven't. I think it's coupled with my decrease in reading, since a good, well written book usually inspired me, but I just haven't been reading like I used to either. I keep telling myself I'm going to get back into both, but that hasn't happened yet.

  • What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?
  • I really want a Condemned 3 that wraps up Ethan vs SKX. They never got a proper final face-off in 2, and (spoilers) since SKX has joined the Oro and Ethan's unlocked his yelling power or whatever, it would be nice to have that loose end tied up.
