Games@lemmy.world•Portal 2: Community Edition goes open beta on April 17English
32·22 hours agoI think the video I linked in the post would demonstrate the benefits better than me writing here. I agree that the look of Portal 2 has long-lasting appeal, but P2CE introduces improved lighting and graphics rendering inspired by Source 2 while still being Source 1. Otherwise, the improvements are mainly technical, like removing signature “Source spaghetti” engine limitations.
The real killer feature is that it reorganizes Portal 2 under the hood to be very mod- and custom campaign-friendly, so it will be the Portal enthusiast’s dream platform.
Here’s a video from the P2CE channel that shows the lighting changes in a bit more detail.

39·1 day agoYou’ll miss out on the plot of 1 that sets up for 2, but for gameplay, you would be fine. But if 1 crashes, you better hope 2 works well.

I’d rather not have foils because they’re more delicate and I have to take more care to prevent them from curling.
When I used to play constructed formats, I’d sometimes entertain the thought of getting foils of only certain key cards as a signal to help me recognize them faster. I had a similar thing with my old Modern Tron deck, where my Tron lands were the only white-border cards, so they were really easy to pick out while searching my library. I never ended up doing that with foils, though.

Video Game Suggestions@lemmy.zip•Arcade-like games that have modern long-form progression?English
8·9 days agoIn Dicey Dungeons, you do turn-based battles by rolling dice and assigning them to your moves, which are tiles that fit on a grid. There’s a set of storylines about a bunch of characters who have been turned into anthropomorphic dice.
Just Shapes and Beats is a rhythm-bullet hell hybrid where you dodge graphical patterns set to electronic music. You play through a campaign, including boss fights and goofy animated cutscenes, to unlock more tracks in free-play mode. There’s also co-op!
Ash & Adam’s GOBSMACKED is a single-player arena FPS. You battle robots in a series of arenas with a set of wacky weapons, with shops in between. At the start of each run, you have to buy yourself a starting loadout using the money you got from previous runs, but you can’t choose the same items as your last run. Buying an item for the first time at a shop unlocks it so you can choose it as a starter in a future run.
If you’re willing to stretch your definition of arcade-style, Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop has you repairing spacecraft with the help of an old manual but plenty of things kill you, including not making enough money to pay rent. You go through a time loop story where you take what you learned in the previous loop to make it further next time. There are different endings based on what you did in a loop.

4·19 days agoFor Steam games (and non-Steam games launched through Steam), you can use Steam’s controller settings to expand the dead zones. Not the most universal solution, though.

5·21 days agoPath of Exile runs credits at the end of act 3, but the whole campaign goes to act 10. And soon after that, you receive the quest line that leads to the game’s famously vast endgame. The endgame is what Path of Exile fans play for.
