And I confirm they can go f*** themselves.

You are not the only one who hate that. I refuse to play any of those game because of that, as well as many other microtransaction games, especially those who exploit FOMO.

That’s a joke I didn’t knew about 😂

You are mistaking “Invincible” with “Invisible”. That’s how.

I’m not into those kinds of games, but I happen to personally know the dev of “The Symbiant” (we are on the same city-wide Discord server), which is a yaoi VN with a side of tentacles. It seems to have excellent reviews (96% all time with 500+ reviews, a lot for this kind of games), but that’s the only one I may recommend, albeit without having played to it myself.

From what I was told by said dev, most NSFW games are Visual Novels, where most of budget goes into the visuals, which are often externalized to specialized artists (or AI for some low quality cash grabs). And as the target audience isn’t exactly there for the gameplay, there is little incentives to shape out good gameplay or great stories. But some exceptions probably exists.

I suppose by searching in the “Adult Only” Steam category. You have to allow NSFW games in Steam settings to see them.

Curses! Another library!

(Sorry, that piece of software name always make me chuckle.)

You can get a phone number for a little more than a dollar a month at OVH. You can just redirect all call to voicemail and check once or twice a month and call it the day.

I’d avoid any game with their technology included. Especially on a paid game.

Sound good. Maybe I’ll give it another chance.

Funny anecdote, I managed to survive to a Flambeau explosion on the first boss once… As a heal. I literally dodged the explosion. 😂

It is quite simple for me : An XBox controller, with the 8bitdo battery pack+dock.

All the Ultimate goodies (except for backpedals), none of the headache.

The Gullikit KK3 is a very good choice too.

Don’t forget the servers cost. Those things cost a lot. I have a pretty good gaming setup, 2k€+, but my home server costed me more in the end.

I started with the Arcanist too, then Scholar. I really liked the gameplay.

Then I changed main class almost every expansion, starting with the Dark Knight, then Dancer, Sage, and now back to Dancer. None of the new classes caught my fancy this time 😅.

Do you use XIVLauncher?

I played 2.0-7.0 on KB/M, and now I’m learning to play on Steam Deck (so a controller is mandatory). It is surprising easy for DPS and tanks, but I’m still struggling with Healers.

I’m only a moderator, that’s not a decision I’d be taking alone.

Problem is that a community as broad as a gaming one is bound to be subscribed my many user on many instances. Switching it to another one will only move the problem elsewhere, not fix it.

Still, if that’s a problem, we could research other courses of actions, like dividing LW in multiple sub-instances for broad topics. The idea would be to get all gaming related community on “games.lemmy.world”, and getting most games related communities to switch there, so external instances can subscribe to that specific instance without receiving all the other updates from other communities. That would also make it a lot easier to scale the servers to the right size for the right use.

But once again that’s not my decision to take.

You can probably add !games@lemmy.world (disclosure, I’m a moderator)

No FFXIV community?

I’m playing since the 2.0 days, I almost grew up with this game and its characters. Top tier game, be it as an MMO or a single player game, it is worth it.
