Baldur's Gate 3 is PC Gamer's highest scoring game in 16 years. Here's why in c/baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world

Agree about the player custom character during dialogue. The facial animations are terrible considering the face options are predefined. Other characters though look great IMO. Not TLOU2 level face capture but fantastic for an isometric RPG

If you pre-order and then cancel, would you keep access to Soap in Warzone?

I used to be concerned about a game being too short. Now I worry that it will be too long. in c/gaming@beehaw.org

I don't really see how what you're describing relates to patient gaming -- isn't patient gaming moreso to do with waiting until games drop in price, then getting them patched up with all their DLC?

Where do you get your gaming news? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] forgotaboutlaye@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Skill Up is a good one. Digital Foundry also has a weekly show that covers news, which I find is well done.

You can also create an RSS feed from any subreddit by adding .rss to the URL. I check r/games from feeder a few times a week just to see the top news stories.

What are some quality YouTube channels that you recommend? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] forgotaboutlaye@feddit.de 13 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Tom Scott would be my top pick for quality YouTube not tied to a specific hobby. His videos are great.

Overwatch 2 is releasing on Steam on 10th August in c/gaming@beehaw.org
[–] forgotaboutlaye@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Aparently not -- the store page doesn't say it requires a third party launcher (which it says for EA and Rockstar Games), only that you'll need a battle.net account, which you could create online. A journalist has also confirmed this on twitter, although I don't have a link right now.

Anytype has open sourced all their repos! Self hosting now possible! in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] forgotaboutlaye@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's quite similar to Obsidian, if you're familiar with that.

It's a notetaking app that lets you visualize how your notes are related to each other, and gives you plenty of options for formatting.

It's quite neat to play around with, but probably overkill for daily note taking, unless you appreciate the UX.

We believe that any software should support fundamental digital freedoms. With the rise of cryptography and computer systems, it is now possible to guarantee these freedoms in the world of bits: privacy of thoughts, freedom of speech, right to authorship, and autonomy from software providers. These rights can be encoded into the code, which when open, can be freely verified by anyone. This way, trust among users and developers can be established.

This is our way. By opening our source code, we ensure that our users have complete autonomy and independence from the Any Association. They retain the ability to analyze, compile, and run each software component on their personal machines without relying on external parties.

The developer of Skyblivion, which remakes Oblivion in Skyrim, says they have received death threats in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] forgotaboutlaye@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah I really don't understand this why specifically the gaming communities seem to suffer from this problem more than others.

Perhaps it's not reported on as much in other hobby circles, or it's a confirmation bias on my part.

Regardless, it's really disappointing that these communities have this 'there I go death-threating again' stigma growing against them. Absolutely disgusting.

Are steam key sites legit/worth it? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] forgotaboutlaye@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah CD Keys is the only one that I buy from. I've never had a real problem, but sometimes preorder keys don't arrive in time to preload on Steam.

Viewfinder out on Steam (also 10% off until July 25th) in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

The discount currently doesn't show for me, but I can see the historical low was 10% off yesterday -- was the deal only for Launch?

I would also love a PC release of TLoU2. I keep my PS4 around for 2 games -- TLoU2 and Ghost of Tsushima. Hoping GoT is coming soon as well.
