Does anyone else hate playing games with no sound?
  • I think this is the best solution for these situations. I have a pair of aeroshokz and they do seem to work pretty well.

  • Does anyone else hate playing games with no sound?
  • I think a crucial component is where I say watching TV passively etc. I use headphones when I am focusing on playing games only.

  • Does anyone else hate playing games with no sound?

    I see so many people talking about using their deck to play games while others are watching TV with their partners or whatever. But I just can’t do it. I hate not hearing the sound effects, music, voice acting when playing a game, and I tend to find myself not using the deck as often as I would like as a result.

    Am I just weird?

    Splatoon fans?
  • I love Splatoon but like others here have said, I’m a casual player. Work and life is too busy for me to dive too heavy into it. Just love it’s vibe and gameplay ideas though.

    Pillars of Eternity - Worth getting White March?
  • While this is true, that steam sale is calling my name! Thanks for the thoughts. Maybe I will hold on it for a while.

  • Pillars of Eternity - Worth getting White March?
  • Haha okay, that makes more sense!

  • Pillars of Eternity - Worth getting White March?
  • Two years?! How long is the game haha! If it is two years long then I will probably never even get to the DLC haha!

  • July 2023 Humble Choice
  • Yeah, I was pretty happy about this. Even though I have Outer Worlds on Gamepass, now I can easily play it on the go with my Steam Deck, so not mad about that at all!

  • Looking for narrative driven games
  • A lot of great games already mentioned here. If you want to try something a little different. Yakuza 0 has a bonkers story that is weird and wonderful, but very Japanese.

    Tacoma and Gone Home are great stories and well worth a look.

    I also rate the Max Payne series for some pulpy fun story with lots of shooty in between.

  • Kotaku Staff Furious After Owner Announces Move to AI Content
  • Came here to say exactly this. I don’t like Kotaku, and think that the AI is probably doing a better job. But this does not bode well for other publications.

  • Showing off some of the themes for Artemis (coming soon)
  • Thanks! Signed up for the beta.

  • Showing off some of the themes for Artemis (coming soon)
  • Add me to the waiting list! Excited for this.

  • Excuse my ignorance but is the app out? Would love some kind of app for iOS so I can use Kbin more comfortably.

  • Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Direct 6.21.2023
  • This is what I was thinking. It just seems.... WEIRD. In the best way possible. It just all feels a little bizarro compared to what we normally see from the series.

  • Against the Storm - Embark on a journey in Cycles Reforged Update! - Steam News
  • One of the most underrated games in Early Access right now. I am not even a big city building fan, but their cadence of updates and novel take on the genre has sparked an understanding of the entire genre for me, and I cannot get enough!

  • BattleBit Remastered becomes best-selling premium game on Steam, peaking at 61k concurrent players | Game World Observer
  • A friend of mine got me into the game. Honestly, the graphics were a bit of learning curve for me. I play mostly indie games, but even for me, the fidelity was lacking. I think the shooting lacks a bit of punch, but once I got over that after the first few hours, a deeply satisfying, and FUN Battlefield-style game was waiting for me. Well worth supporting the developers anyway, even if it is just to get EA to notice and up their game for the franchise.

  • Google search from every aggregator on the fediverse?
  • I’d like to know this too. I do a lot of XYZ review reddit into google when making purchasing decisions. The black out left me without a solid resource of user opinion!

    Is Overwatch just completely dead?

    So the recent bad news about Overwatch 2’s PvE cancellation was really disappointing, but honestly it kinda just reminded me that I hadn’t played OW2 in a long while, so I decided to jump in and just play some games.

    Queue times for Ranked Any Role is 8-15 mins. Even Quick Play Any Role is giving me queue times of 5+ mins.

    I’m in Japan but that also usually means I can get games in Australia and Korea. At launch I was getting games in seconds. Now it just kinda feels dead.

    They just launched the new season too, which begs the question if I was silly enough to buy the Battlepass… how could I even go about completing it.

    I understand the Blizzard hate here, but I would also be quite sad to see the game just disappear and not have further development to improve it. Is this just a my region problem, or is this common globally?

    Pineapple not only belongs on pizza, but is superior to all other possible toppings.
  • Give me a BBQ chicken pizza with some caramelised onions, and some Pineapple, we got a stew going on!
