People seem to really dislike Destiny 2. Why haven't they ended it yet? in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Kruulos@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

I have never played Destiny 2 and wanted to try it out one month ago. I asked on Reddit what to do as a free-to-play player to get a good insight of what the game has to offer.

The gatekeeping was unreal. They said unless I'm willing to dedicate hundreds of hours I should not even try and rather uninstall the game immediately. For sure they made it feel that new players are not welcome.

Playerbase toxicity was a harsh reality. The game story, even in the broadest sense, was hard to grasp. The new player experience in-game was miserable. I have no idea what their money making plan is. Live service games need new players to stay healthy.

Which server, if playing from EU in c/lotro@lemmy.ca
[–] Kruulos@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

All the servers are physically located in the US with the exception of the legendary server Mordor that just opened a few days ago. You need active subscription for that.

For the normal servers marked as EU Laurelin has less players that Evernight but has more serious roleplaying scene if that is something you're interested in. There are also servers for Germans and French.

If you can pay for the subscription I'd strongly suggest hopping in the Mordor server. It's in the 'busiest it gets' phase where there are soo many players having fun at the low levels. I'm loving it. The initial hype will die after few months so now is your best chance.

Slay the Spire on Steam Deck is such a joy (sopuli.xyz)
 

After Brotato addiction I found this gem of a game, right before the sequel announcement it seems. It's such a perfect game for the Deck at least for me - you have time to think, the controls just work and you can just put the game down and continue your run later.

Do yourself a favor and try it out even though your first runs will probably be a disaster. The core game mechanic is so tight and well done it's a pleasure to play loop after loop. 50 hours later I still want to do 'one more run'.

(TRUTH) New year and reflection time for past 6 months (sopuli.xyz)
 

New year. Reflection time.

In the past half year (6 months) how much have you played with your Steamdeck?

You can compare it to your main PC/Mac or against your deck playtime of the first part of the year. Just comparison more or less. I want discussion going on.

I'm interested because I found myself to be a tiny bit deck fatigued and only in December have fun with Brotato. Otherwise I'm like 100h initial climax compared to 30h current one.

Chaotic evil here. No regrets.

How much do you use your deck? Was it a good purchase? (sopuli.xyz)
 

I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it's a reasonable purchase. Now I'm sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier.

Did you have any (self made) goals when buying Steam Deck? Did you achieve those? Or did you buy it and now it's collecting dust? I'm curious
