Diablo 1 and 2 were totally fine. There was no trash monetiziation around them (haven’t played the remaster of D2, so can’t speak for it).

Love these 80s designs. They look so cool.

This is a long series article on gacha. This is the third or the fourth one.

I can understand using a more broad definition of MMO due to changes in the market.

Is the “tool assist” not buying it in the first place? 😅

A very good point. :)

Not a big fan of industrial, but this track is bomb.

VTMB soundtrack is one of the best in the history of videgames.

I like the graphics on this one. While I am a hardcore logistics/tycoon nerd, I do sometimes enjoy somewhat more casual experiences. :)

Some nice screenshot, I thought Fallout 76 looked like shit for some reason. Could just be my impression from the launch.

I was hoping this delayed the Cube movie from 1997.

Agreed. Realism is honestly not needed (although it’s cool that we have such games). You need good gameplay and atmosphere and ambience that give you the feeling of being in a different world so to speak.

How does it compare to Uplink in terms of gameplay. Uplink was the best simulation style hacking game that I’ve played.

100 % of proceeds are transferred automatically to the Serhiy Prytula Humanitarian Foundation, one of Ukraine’s largest and most trusted NGOs.

This is a very reputable charity organisation. Serhiy Prytula is a well known comedian in Ukraine who has been working on charity work since the full scale invasion.

If you have more than $8 to spare there is also “Come back alive”:

Thank you!

Fascinating niche community. Never knew this was a thing, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

I like the daily screen posts even though I don’t play console at all.

It adds a positive vibe to the community.

Cool stuff! Curious about how voting on new rules is going to work out.

I would like to request the following communities to be added to the sidebar:

• !tycoon@lemmy.world - Tycoon and business sim/management games.
• !citybuilders@sh.itjust.works - City-builder and base-builder style games.
• !crpg@lemmy.world - Mostly computer/PC RPG news and discussion, but all RPG adjacent discussions are welcome.

Disclaimer: I mod/curate two of these communities and contribute a lot to citybuilders.

That being said, I contribute to games@lemmy.world as well. :)
