They're just ridiculously overpriced. Yes yes yes I know I know pc gaming good but you're literally spending the cost or more of a PS5 on a graphics card, it's just not competitive in the gaming sphere. I know I'm not looking to upgrade any time soon

I'm really glad to have found Beehaw, it's extremely close to what I really enjoy in a community. As someone who isn't really a tech person in any respect, I'm happy to find something using Lemmy that isn't either strictly tech focused or politics focused. Everything looks really cool and I've been enjoying posting here :)

Con air is an amazingly funny movie to watch with friends. You also get to marvel at the ridiculously star studded cast for such a stupid movie.
And anything where Nicolas cage chews scenary with a stupid accent is an instant classic.

I don't really like limited 😵💫. It's more that I enjoy non rotating formats more, I think.

It's a very different game, creatures for example are waaaaaaaaaaaay stronger these days, there's several new card types, stuff like that. Though at the core things are not that different

I've heard pretty good stuff about most limited environments lately, though tbh I haven't regularly drafted in ages, not really my jam.
Agreed! Though I think it is an option for slots where you'd have like spell snare or something over slots with your removal, because it feels pretty bad on the draw. Also most 1 and 2 drops don't have insane etbs or anything, at least in modern.

I've managed to never buy any sealed product at all, just singles. Not a fan of limited!

You know I actually have been playing arena, though I've been playing historic! Standard was a pain to keep up on in a digital format like that

Smash bros as a collective whole, nearly uncountable hours across each one.
For a single game maybe XCOM 2012? I played thousands of hours in that.
I've been playing more and more magic recently, and have been even maintaining both a modern deck (izzet murktide sorry) and a pioneer deck (arclight Phoenix though it's not suuuuper strong rn) I don't really play commander because unfortunately none of my friends IRL actually play with me! Was just curious if anyone else had been doing anything in MTG recently, or had any thoughts on the new cards coming in the Lord of the Rings set. Personally, as someone who doesn't play commander, it doesn't seem super impactful on Modern, though I'm hardly an expert on card evaluation so maybe someone else could (though there's a counter on creatures with MV under 2 for just one blue so maybe that'll be worth picking up)

Frankly I don't think this is a realistic option that will lead to anything but more long drawn out protracted warfare

I despise new Reddit so much, I'm going to miss RIF terribly. It's really the perfect app for how I like to use reddit.

Spore was really cool... Until space stage which was just too boring!
I was extremely invested in spore pre release and with how much was cut, it could never live up to my expectations...

I think it was extremely touchy to get running for a pretty long time, along with, I think, people not "getting it" especially if you encountered it while you were younger

It's a mod, but the original long war mod for XCOM 2012 holds a very special place in my heart. You basically have to have reference material open because of how large the research trees got, along with just no ability to really in game teach you about any of the mechanical changes.
Maybe not quite as sprawling as something like a paradox game or dwarf fortress, but LW also demands you fully understand the complexities it introduces over the base game or you can find yourself in unwinnable or extremely difficult to pull out of positions, and you easily end up playing tons of missions in a doomed session if you miss, say, upgrading your interceptors enough quickly enough to pop the overseer UFO or find yourself in a massive resource pit because you sold all your elerium early and now you can't keep up techwise.
The sequel mod for xcom2 never to grabbed my attention the same way long war 1 did.

I really enjoy enter the matrix, it's a little janky but it's got some pretty cool for the time set pieces and I think the entire idea of the hacking mode is interesting, if very weird. For a licenced early 2000s video game I thought it was a step above most of the stuff in that field.
The driving sections are... Not very fun though.

I'm in Chicago and just take buses and trains everywhere if I have to go beyond walking distance. As someone with a young child it can be a bit difficult sometimes but it's mostly manageable. if I have to go somewhere weird in the city that that would take multiple lines to get to I just use an Uber, this is so rare.
This isn't an ideological thing for me or anything I just don't have car money

Haha probably right? But it definitely also lent it a very conversational atmosphere, occasionally just small posts that didn't get much attention or getting really, really engaged with a discussion. Also it was the last time I knew basically everyone I was posting with at least a little bit.

A game I've been getting into recently it's called Mechabellum, it's a autobattler so no reflexes required! Matches are short so I wouldn't really call it stressful unless the idea of losing reaaaaaallly stresses you out. I don't think you should have any issues running it on that laptop, and it's only 15 dollars. While there's choices to be made every round it doesn't feel overwhelming but it's still a deep game that you can sink your teeth into! Good if you like strategic thinking, and you can accept and adapt to consequences and mistakes or even just bad breaks.
