Just seeing what this whole Fediverse thing is all about.
I’ll just be posting about whatever random stuff interests me at the time.

Games@sh.itjust.works•I've been playing Slay the Spire 2 and I've been really enjoying it.
1·27 天前@Arkhive I really got into the game after I got a Steam Deck. It’s an easy game to pick up and put down allowing me to easily fill small periods of free time without requiring muscle memory or in depth game mechanics. Everything I need to know is explained on the cards itself and it’s turn based so I can take my time.

1·28 天前@KnitWit Regent is hit or miss for me. I feel like he relies heavily on a few specific cards that are needed in order to really do well. I also have problems getting good block cards with him. I lose a lot with him but the few times I’ve gotten a good setup with him he felt really powerful. I’ve had the most success using star cards for block and some extra damage while buffing the sword up.
There’s a power that makes the sword hit all enemies which really boosts him.

Games@lemmy.world•I finished my first playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077. I absolutely love the setting for the game and hopefully they'll make a sequel. Cyberpunk is going to join the very small selection of games I
3·11 个月前@BotsRuinedEverything My opinion on games and mods is that the first playthrough should always be vanilla. This allows you to get a feel for what the game is actually like and allows you to provide an honest review for the game. It also lets you know what parts of the game need improvement so you know what mods to look for.
One thing I would suggest is to get the Phantom Liberty expansion. It fits really well with the rest of the game and adds a merchant to buy missed Iconic weapons.

Books@lemmy.ml•I just found out that Humble Bundle has a book bundle for Terry Pratchett's Discworld. A 39 book bundle that is redeemed through Kobo.com.
6·2 年前@YurkshireLad I hadn’t noticed that. I just checked the other book bundles and didn’t see any restrictions so I’m guessing it has something to do with this bundle coming through Kobo which would be odd since Kobo is a Canadian company.

Board Games@sopuli.xyz•I recently got the Asia expansion for Wingspan and I've been really enjoying the Duet board. It adds a whole new layer of strategy that really makes you have to pay attention to the birds you're
1·2 年前@BloodSlut Besides the usual stuff, it adds Duet Mode (for 2 players) and Flock Mode (for 6-7 players). The Duet Mode adds a duet board that you add pieces to every time you play a bird. The goals from the expansion are all related to the duet board. The placement rules for the duet board really forces you to pay attention to the birds you play.
Dharkstare@mastodon.worldOPtoEbook Deals@literature.cafe•Just in case anyone is interested, Humble Bundle has a Tad Williams bundle containing 21 ebooks for $18. The offer ends in about 1.5 days. The ebooks come through kobo.com so you would require an acco

PC Gaming@lemmy.world•Despite how much I dislike working with hardware, I'm toying with the idea of building my own PC. A quick perusal through Newegg leaves me wondering why everything related to gaming PCs has to have RG
1·3 年前@JakenVeina I looked at Microcenter but a lot of stuff seems to only be available in store and there isn’t one close by. The closest one is 3 hours away. I’m also hesitant to buy computer parts from Amazon so Newegg seems to be the only good option. I’ll probably also check B&H to see if they have everything.

2·3 年前@SpaceCadet I thought about that but I like the little window on the side. It makes it easier to see inside if I need to check on something. Just recently I needed to check and make sure nothing was using my bottom sata ports before ordering an m.2 SSD. With the side window, I could just take a peak inside without having to pull the panel off.
As some others have said, I’ll likely hunt for non-RGB stuff or just set it up to turn them off.

Books@lemmy.world•Just finished reading The Bullet that Missed by Richard Osman. I really enjoy this series and can't wait for the fourth book to come out.
1·3 年前@dresden Yeah. Goodreads lists one of its genres as Cozy Mystery which gives the books a nice, laid back feeling to them when read. The chapters are also short which I find helpful since I can fit some reading whenever I have time without having to worry about stopping mid-chapter.

2·3 年前@DadWagonDriver The series is Thursday Murder Club which is also the name of the first book in the series. It’s a murder mystery series. The fourth book in the series comes out September 2023.

Steam Deck@lemmy.ml•I was thinking about getting a Steam Deck but I'm not entirely sure if it's better than my GTX 970. I'll have to do more research since there's no point in getting something that isn't an upgrade.
0·3 年前@BumpingFuglies You don’t have any problems when using it docked? I had read a few posts claiming that running it docked caused it to struggle.

boardgames@feddit.de•Relatives were visiting over the weekend and we played Tsuro with the kids. It's really easy to learn, quick to play, and has some strategy to it.
1·3 年前@Spat_U_Later the simple game mechanic makes it really easy to explain to new players. It’s the only game the kids were able to easily pick up with a single explanation of the rules.

2·3 年前@dpunked The kids were 10-13. The game mechanics are really simple to learn too. The box says 8+ and that’s probably accurate.

PC Gaming@lemmy.world•I'm trying to find a good prebuilt gaming PC and I'm really starting to hate reviews. Every time I find a computer I like, I find a bunch of reviews saying how bad it is.
3·3 年前@fidodo I never actually thought about going to a local shop to get a custom build. I might have to look into that.

4·3 年前@lemmy_party The problem is less building the PC and more to do with picking the parts. My first gaming computer as one that I picked the parts out for and someone else put together and it was the worst computer I’d ever owned. Despite PC Part Picker assuring me that the parts were compatible, they apparently weren’t because it was an unstable mess. My current PC was built by someone who knew what they were doing and it’s the best PC I’ve ever had.

3·3 年前@echo64 I think the system wouldn’t be too bad if there was an easier way to get the base weapons. One of the things I really dislike is hunting for specific weapons. I’ve only found one of those deku spears in my entire playthrough. Also, having to break my weapons killing enemies so I can get their weapons seems counter productive.

Games@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 to Feature as Much as 512 GB of Internal Storage, 8-Inch LCD Screen - Rumor
9·3 年前@SignorPao @TheTechNerd Some nice Hall Effect joycons would certainly be nice.



@Quetzalcutlass Being able to sell and craft directly out of the stash combined with being able to add items to your stash from anywhere using the bonfire was huge. It simplified things so much. I just wish I could also submit quest items using the stash as well.
