somehow, on average, Star Wars Battlefront 2 is the best game to play with old
friends
as long as you stick together, of course
and maybe invite all of your other bros
after a couple optional initial exploratory 2pvE matches [co-op]
especially if you play on "normal" difficulty
[I wonder if anyone's ever studied whether or not people born at similar parts
of the year have anything in common?] [doh that's astrology]

@user-192
ah yes like when I used to go to the cantina with my ex-girlfriend in Star
Wars the Old Republic and bag a stranger to Electronic Role Play with back at
my ship after a few drinks and some light four play where the four of us would
play Electronic RolePlay together in the privacy of my ship on the soft plush
couches or maybe in the padded gym or maybe in the pilots seat so we could
look at the stars while playing (just the four of us)

when I play Battlefront II I like to give the enemies heroes and vehicles and
my team more infantry
3 rebels versus 50 ties works great for corellian corvettes, but they never
let us use bigger ships : (

what if I use equal signs instead of dashes, so prevent people from assuming
they're duplicates?
hmm okay.
right so anyway the star realms balancing tradeoff between combat and authority
is measured against the duration of a hand (does it fit balanced between other
cards of it's playcost) instead of balancing it for the duration of the game
(how long does the player want the game to go on for) one of which is just
inverse combat damage / healing, and the other of which is an enablement of
different strategems.
put this in symbeline-gen-realms please

@user-110 Exactly! I play games to practice strategy and empathy, not to stand
triumphant over a virtual foe. Why should I care for the lessons of others
when mine so often go unlearnt?

had a dream that we gamified all work and then put them into one single
mega-game so whenever you wanted you could work on an arbitrary project and it
would spin up a new game and take your inputs and use them to accomplish
whatever was happening

instead of controlling a recon-droid in Star Wars Battlefront II, you should
be assigned control of a random amount of drones nearby, to be used until you
went back to character control
I think a swarm is more fun to play as than a single little scout vehicle.
in a game that doesn't really need scouting to find your foe - it's easy!
they're that way

in some games, like Star Wars Battlefront II, you unlock certain "badges"
during gameplay. Like, "scored 10 points in one life" or "healed for 200hp" or
whatever.
these "badges" have names, like "guardian" or "hope"
I wonder if you attached a player's history of medals earned to an LLM
somehow, perhaps by feeding an array of them in as input, what would happen
then? perhaps a narrative could be

most people have no conception of what ancient battles look like until they
play a Total War game and see one from above
(total war games also aren't that accurate tbh, there's a lot more
standing-near-each-other-and-throwing-rocks involved)

if you don't have a lot of time but still like games, like for example a new
parent or if you're focused on your career or always traveling, I recommend
the game
Star Realms
in the digital version, which can be played on a phone or computer, has a mode
called "48 hour turns" where each of your moves has time to think for two
entire days. Most of the time you won't need two days, but it gives time to
work on other things.
for people who enjoy this mode, it is not uncommon to have 3-5 games running
at once. When they have time, they can play as many as they can, and as long
as they're keeping up with it there's very little chance they'll lose time.
kinda like words with friends, except space strategy.

After a certain point you realize there's little to be done with that design
space that Star Fox didn't do better!
Also I think people tend to associate them with arcade "gun games" which are
tbh more fun than clicking with a mouse or whatever since they're tactile and
physical.

I wish games started with everything unlocked and if you wanted you could
"start a journey" or whatever and lock everything but a few options... then
slowly as you play the game you unlock new things to do until eventually
you're back where you started.
Essentially... starting at level 100 and having the option to prestige right
away. If you want the experience. While playing a game. That you have every
right to enjoy as you will.

all you need is to be steam friends with one person and then your whole
organization knows what you're trying to say with game titles

@user-30 Well maybe that's okay :)
Dark Souls is a hell of a game that has stood the test of time. It's a classic
now. It's okay if you're not much of a gamer.

It's so sad how some of the best games ever made get glossed over because the
fun you remember is the friendship and fantasy you felt rather than the game
itself
time marches forward, and culture changes to no longer fit the old tools quite
right. Plus they look like PS1 graphics ewwwwww look at those muddy textures
and blocky bits arranged into triangles and meshes! how dorky, how retro

if you want to understand me, play Majesty the Fantasy Kingdom Sim (when you

bash script that automatically streams music to your computer and plays it on
audio devices
and also sets up a screen-streaming system where it displays the screens of
everyone listening on like, a "security camera panel at the mall" type of deal
so they can customize the music being streamed for each individual person
playing video games or whatever.
like "hello computer, all is well. can you tell me what narrative this person
is going through and then can you recommend a song for that particular purpose"
and then nobody uses it because it's recommendations suck and are always
picking fleur de lis or whatever because it's a "good song" for listening to
or whatever.

plus these games. if there's more than one version, give them a random one.
NOT the first, NOT the last, not one that was made around when they were born,
but a random one.
nerf can be any friendly intense action game, but I like Nerf Arena Blast
"hey man what's your nerf? I got Celeste"
"ooooo I heard that means you're gonna be friends with a trans girl 'cause
she's always gonna wanna play it"
"what no way"
"hell yeah"
"... anyway I got Towerfall"
"what does that mean"
"I don't think it means anything"
"... weird"

the two lego games are just really cool. you can add your own games if you
want but replace one instead of adding to the list. that way they're each
sorta unique.

"but... why?"
portable linux with buttons, great for pick-up-games or communication, can
throw several in them in a backpack if you want clustered cooperation, they
work as radios (if the signal reaches) and can transmit text (if you use a
radial-style keyboard)
[this is all just a pitch for... something, what, you want something? ha
you'll find no things with me, I know nothing of antifa or whatever]
