What are some excellent free games/total conversions that are worth playing the whole thing? (lemm.ee)
 

I used up play a ton of Doom mods years ago and a lot of the TCs were fun but lacked substance beyond the surface. Some of the new ones are cool but overly complex. (The Sonic cart game has an hour long tutorial before you start). I was a big fan of Simon’s Destiny, the Castlevania mod for Doom.

Basically I’m looking to see suggestions for free games or total conversions that are worth playing. Before I go spending money onSteam releases, I wanna check out what I might have missed the last few years.

Is lemmy now what reddit used to be 10+ years ago? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

No but hopefully it is something better than Reddit has ever been. It’s awesome watching the community grow and cater to more niche interests.

lemmy, I just got laid off from my Data Center Job; anyone have any advice? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I was also recently laid off. Regional management for retail support. Piggybacking onto this thread for any useful tips.

I feel like that’s the point of using that picture though.

How do you search for honest product recommendations? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Gointhefridge@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

I have found enthusiast forums and believe it or not YouTube videos to be helpful.

Now with YouTube reviews, you gotta be a bit discerning. Try to follow personalities who have a lot of experience reviewing or have pretty stringent review measures. For example:

For any kind of home entertainment information I usually go to Chris Majestic and anyone he works with because he has pretty helpful measurements of how he qualifies products features.

Reddit has become a wasteland. It’s getting more difficult to find human content on the internet.

Same actually. She got a botched update on her 13 mini too.

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I like my EcoTank. I got it cause we print a decent amount of pictures and laser can’t do even passing quality photos. Having no cartridges to worry about is much less of a hassle than it used to be.

That said, laser is fine for most people.

I'm enjoying Lemmy as a content feed. As an interactive board though not as much. Finding things and rembering where content is can be confusing. Its definitely not as easy or user friendly as other sites/apps. Getting IRL friends to join feels like an impossible task unless they're pretty interested in tech.

That said you get what you give and if we want to see more content, we should all interact more.

I do love my Steam Deck. It has changed the way I play games. Its hackability had only added to its charm.

Games that respect your time. (lemm.ee)
 

When I was kid, I could sit in front of TV for hours and sink a day or two away into a game and have no problem having to start the game over from the beginning. Time meant nothing to me and I wasted it like it was a near infinite resource.

Now I am a parent and ain't got time for some of the nonsense that's in games nowadays. I'm lucky if I have even an hour to play each night.

A good example: Forza Horizon 5 allows you to switch cars mid game without traveling back to a house. That to me is a huge time saver compared to the recent NFS games.

Contrarily, Forza Motorsport (2023) makes you do qualifications every round. While realistic, a big time sink.

That said, what are some of your favorite games that have respect for your limited time?

Also because there is less content its more meaningful. There's a lot of fluff and garbage on Reddit just so people can get karma.

Projector guy here. Once you get a taste you don't wanna go back. The tech has gotten so much better over the last 10 years and short throw projectors are a game changer.

To the top 1% truly smart people the other 99% are dumb as a box of rocks. But exactly how fucking stupid is that 99% ? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

But how will we ever learn where the boundary is if we don't go over it?
