Games like the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon

  • Glad to see all these recommendations -- I hadn't heard of Ground Branch, I'll have to check it out. This post is reminding me of how great the original Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon games where.

    Also, there is a forgotten entry from the original developer! There was a video game tie-in for The Sum of All Fears movie, and it was basically a reskin of the original Ghost Recon with indoor maps. I remember playing the demo back when it first came out. Looks like it's on Steam, and the critics agree: it's meh! But I want to play it anyway now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/19810/The_Sum_of_All_Fears/

    Side note: does anyone know a legit way to get Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear? I swear it was on Steam or GOG at one point, but I can't find it now. Thankfully, I have it on a CD from when it first came out, but I wish I could recommend it to other people.

    does anybody around here play fighting games?

  • I got into them a couple years ago, but have still only played pretty casually now and then against the CPU. I bought Street Fighter 6 this week and have been enjoying it.

    Any solid Indie game suggestions available on PS Store or Switch?

  • Dead Cells and Neon White are two recent favorite for me. I played on PC, but I assume the PlayStation and Switch versions are the same.

    Looks like they're both on sale for PlayStation right now, too.

    Which keyboard(s) are you currently using?

  • Keychron Q8, which has an Alice layout. I like the layout; it feels pretty familiar since my two previous daily drivers were ortholinear. I switch between the Alice and ortholinear keyboards often, too.

    I think I'm not crazy about the switches, though. I got it with Gateron G Pro Reds, which are linear, pre-lubed, and maybe just a little too light for my taste. It's my first and only keyboard with linear switches, and I bottom out too hard on each keystroke. It's a little uncomfortable on the fingertips after a while. I'm trying to adjust how much pressure I use when typing, which is a hard habit to change.

    What niche reddit community do you want to see find a place on the fediverse?

  • I've seen a few people mention fighting games on here (e.g. Street Fighter). I'd be interested in that. The number of gameplay clips people would be sharing make me think it ought to be its own instance, though.

    Also:

    • pens, fountain pens
    • mechanical keyboards
    • watches

    Some communities have been created for those, but don't seem to have gained much popularity.

    Thoughts on media hosting for sharing?

  • Related question: does Lemmy allow admins to specify how long to keep media from other instances? Does it get automatically deleted after some time?
