It's not often I stumble across Russian #GameStudies
In 2021's "Game Room" (Игродром), author Alexander Vetushinsky delves into #Gaming's cultural impact through the lenses of philosophy, psychology and media theory.
Today's the perfect day for a fun new podcast. Join hosts
Ronald McGillvray & yours truly as we talk about books, movies, music, TVShows, video games, and so much more in this one-of-a-kind speculative-fiction authorcast!
Liam, we can’t imagine the #Fediverse without you. You add so much to the community and you never let the trolls take you down! We also love that your website adheres to the #FediPUG code of conduct.
Thank you for all your hard work! We hope to be reading your articles for many years to come!
A coop PvE game for two dads and three sons?
A shooter, preferably. Any recommendations, #mastodon guys? The youngest lad is 10, so as little violence as possible. Thanks 😉
I finally managed to launch my first nuke in Fallout 76!
It only took like 2 hours of dying and confusion because there's no clear instructions....but it was successful nonetheless!😬😅
Running out of things to do now🤣might wait until the new season drops to continue my expedition grind because apparently a new Atlantic City expedition is releasing alongside the new season...
Also, does anyone know if the daily stamps for the first expedition applies to each expedition individually or if it's for all expeditions overall? Basically if I do all 4 expeditions in 1 day, will I get 20x4 stamps?🤔
I finally finished the main storyline of Fallout 76. It was pretty enjoyable. Not telegraphed or anything and useful to everyone that plays the game.👍Still got PLENTY more to do...🤣
Rise of the Third Power, a turn-based #JRPG is on sale in the #Nintendo eshop for like $12USD
With reviews like, "For those with religious concerns, there is a BI character, who is in your group." and "I don't like propaganda in my games; It's disgusting behavior. Keep your politics away from me."
You're telling me, I found the REAL Sunny in Foundation and I can't even pet her?!?! What the FUCK, Bethesda!! Most egregious thing you've done to me!!! :kek:
I really feel bad for people who live outside the North America. They'll never get to celebrate Mario Day! No one cares about IOMAR day. Sorry Europe and Asia. =(
I just started today, and even though the #game is only in closed beta, and the features are basic, the concept and mechanics are different from the other fitness gamification apps I've played/playing.
It did capture the feels of an #MMO and combined it with fitness.
Again, I'm just a newbie, only started today. I haven't thoroughly explored the game. I just walked.
You don't even need to run the app in the background, it will collect the steps your phone recorded the next time you open the game.
Features I'm waiting for (not sure if it's planned, again, I'm a new player):
Sync with Google Fit or Health Connect. This way we can use the "steps" from our sports watch instead of the phone. I think it's also easier since the Dev doesn't have to add support for Product X and Service Z.
Health Connect is good for those who prefer privacy, as Health Connect stays in the unit (unless the user syncs it with Fit or other apps).
Google Fit is, well, cloud-based. (Then again, most sports watch users are using their brand's cloud-based service anyway, and are more likely sync'd to Fit. 😆)
Guilds/clans. Because why not? Hehe.
Quests/missions.
It might be possible to add quests wherein even if we're not moving (like those in work-from-home), we can do something. Nothing game changing, because again, you have to move move move!
Of course, the majority of the quests require moving.
More races!
Elf
Half-elf
Dwarves
Vampires
I dunno, any race that no one can claim copyright is good. (I mean, we can't use kinder because that's DragonLance.) And each race has some pros and cons.
Foes?
Say, during a game event, we have to, for example, collect 10,000 steps in a week to ensure we are ahead of an enemy chasing us? If we fail, there's a penalty.
And the story of the event moves forward depending on the total steps of everyone in a kingdom.
Another productive night on #Persona5Royal!!! 3 Mementos side quests completed, new depths to Mementos unlocked, AND we know our next palace to infiltrate.
