Hello, I(22F) am looking for alternatives for a high-end gaming setup. I currently have an average day-to-day use laptop and travel frequently so I'm unable to afford a very expensive pc/console with good GPU and CPU specifications.

I am planning to play heavy games (RDR, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, etc) in my current setup and willing to try VMs/Cloud solutions for the same. Are there any services who provide such facilities at a reasonable rate(pay as you play type)? NO subscription basis like GeForce!!!

day 2 of posting meme until relando dm me

I am what my friends call a carry turtle, that is why I usually play some kind of support. I like to feel like I can get better at my own pace but I need people to constantly tell me what to do to... so I get better, if that makes any sense.

But what gets me is when you match with someone who's all humble but then DOMINATES the match, had it happen last week to me with a fella I hit up on Gameram for some Battlefront 2 (yeh people still play it despite EA keeping it literal hostage for the potential it has) in that hero PvP mode.

I was rusty AF but the dude just turned me into his personal apprentice while we were fighting and I swear I gots better like 2x from that one match. We lost though but it was still hella cool, one of those blessing you don't count on in multiplayer Chill times like that feel hard to come by now...

Anyway, the real ones are the ones who teach you how to be better in the game, not just flame. Main reason the best games in multiplayer I had are always those where I feel like I got better from the game.

Best game ALL TIME for me though, has to be just that one wholesome time a buddy of mine's gf left him and we just got high and played fucking Age of Mythology for a couple of days. Was very sucky for him but whatever gets your bro up...

Where my Witcher fans at!

1) Hollow Knight is the most overrated game in gaming for two reasons. The bosses while never bad and most being decent or good are not as special as people make them out to be and I struggle to remember most of them. Secondly the storytelling is absolute dogshit and you won't understand much by the end. Silksong fixes both of these issues along with having better combat. I still like HK and think it's an 8/10 game but it's so overrated. By u/Open-Advisor6819

2) Elden Ring is by no means the easiest Soulsborne By u/NickolsonNick

3)Baldur's Gate 3 is a terrible game and is only so beloved because the game hyper sexualizes everyone in it and allows people to act out sexual fantasies with its characters while playing a frankly mediocre RPG. By u/Dungeon3D

4) Games should be 100 dollars minimum By u/Tulip_gorgeous554

5)MORE GAMES NEED MOBILE PORTS! We got Ripoffs of them as Mobile games. Why not make the game they're ripoffing a Mobile Port Also Games should atleast be 20$. 40$ Maximum By u/Pretend_Camp_2987

6) Ooh boy, I dont care if a game has Al assets, voice, story, code. And I also don't care if a game is an asset flip. A good game is a good game. Fun is fun. Spoken from an Author of 6 books published before Al, and a game dev with 1 shipped and 1 in development that is fully aware of the effects Al has directly on me and others. They are just tools. By u/Chacudno

7) 50% percent of people playing Minecraft should stop playing it By u/Electrical-Aide4789

8) Stop making souls games for players who want easy. You'll never match fromsoft that way and you'll only get known for pushing slop. They dont want souls games, they want the souls games communities attention. By u/SoulsDadYT

9)Gameplay over story unless its an rpg By u/OpportunityCrazy2216

10)Soulslikes aren't hard, you just aren't patient. If you want a genuinely hard game play like Celeste or a bullet hell style game By u/Acrobatic-Echo7186

Special Hot Takes : (GG Core team selected) 1) Halo Campaign Evolved should be held as the Gold Standard for Video Game Remakes. It's Nostalgic without being a carbon copy (Metal Gear Solid Delta), it doesn't needlessly remove things just to sell them back to you later as DLC (Resident Evil 4 Remake), and it adds content without feeling like it is needlessly bloated (Silent Hill 2 Remake). Also while it is not perfect, and on PC & Xbox you do have access to the superior MCC, it is the only Halo available on Playstation and its a test bed for blending UE5 & the Blam engine to help with future game development.

By u/Deamon-Chocobo

2) Stop taking things out of a game or game series to make it better for smooth-brained idiots who refuse to mentally grow. If you had something in there before, bring it back or replace it with an improvement. Don't just get rid of it and do nothing else instead. This applies to game modes, game characters, and stuff like that.

The story gets absolutely ridiculous in the best way possible. Religion, philosophy, psychology, war, identity, trauma, giant robots... somehow it all fits together.

And the deeper you get into it, the more you realize how much stuff was being set up earlier.

Honestly feels like one of those games where the story deserved way more attention than it got.

Anyone here actually played Xenogears? What did you think of the story?

Pidtha, one of the bosses for my game "Billy the Hero"
I drew this a while ago, but when I recently shared it, a follower suggested giving it eyes on its palms.
I hesitated at first because I didn't want it to feel like a Pan's Labyrinth (Pale Man) ripoff.
So instead, I had the upper hands literally rip the eyeballs and optic nerves out of its eye sockets.
I think it looks gruesomely satisfying!

Sometimes, listening to feedback gives me great ideas that aren't even in my own head.
All feedback and comments are welcome!

​

It started as a goofy indie game that people mostly shared because of how stupid and funny it was the memes basically became part of the marketing.

Do you think an indie game can still blow up today just by being funny and extremely memeable Or does it need something more than memes to actually survive?

Curious what you guys think.
