Definitely heard of both of them. Stumble Guys was pretty popular around when it launched, I didn't play it though. I remember them doing a lot of YouTube sponsorships. Monopoly Go I only know about because the Google Play Store seems to keep advertising it.

Why We Love to Get Lost in Games: The Enduring Appeal of Metroidvanias in c/[email protected]

Yeah a lot of people seem to draw a line between Metroidvanias and classic Zelda games/Zelda-likes. I don't really know what the distinction is.

If you want to sync your notes between devices, Obsidian Sync is $48 a year. But since it's all just markdown files anyway, you could just use dropbox to sync them anyway.

What gameplay systems or game mechanics do you enjoy? in c/[email protected]

I love the histogram system from Zachtronics' games. I find it much more useful to see my score compared to the proportion of people who got a similar score, than a leaderboard rank that doesn't mean much.

The bigger size of the console itself would make it incompatible anyway

That's probably only referring to games like labo and ring fit

This is why metaphors don't work. Files are not groceries, arguments that apply to one don't always apply to the other.

Games like Splitgate? (Halo?) (lemm.ee)
 

I don't really play many multiplayer FPS games. But a while ago I discovered Splitgate and I really liked it. It's the only multiplayer FPS I've played much of. But I've stopped playing it because development has stopped and also I was experiencing occasional stutters on Linux.

The announcement of Splitgate 2 has got me wanting to play Splitgate again or something like it. I was excited for the Splitgate sequel until they actually showed it, and it seems like it's going in the wrong direction for me - adding factions or whatever, overcomplicating things. And idk if I should get back into Splitgate, since it's dying and the release of Splitgate 2 will only speed that up. So I'm looking for a similar game that I will like.

Things I liked about Splitgate:

  • It's simple. I don't have much experience with shooters but Splitgate is really easy to pick up on. Using portals well can take a while to wrap your head around, but you don't need to use portals to win most of the time. (Maybe there's just bots making it seem easier than it is, but the point is it's still simple compared to the other popular games)
  • Movement is fast and fun, mostly because of the jetpack but also the portals. I can get anywhere really quickly and also shooting someone while flying around is fun.
  • Games are short. I don't often have enough time to commit to a long game.
  • Almost all of the different modes were great, both for variety, but also sometimes I'm in the mood for different things. Sometimes I'd just want to play my favourite modes like Domination/King of the Hill, and sometimes I'd play a mix of everything. There were only maybe 3 game modes I didn't like.

I know Splitgate is very similar to Halo. But there are so many Halo games out there, which one is the best/most similar to Splitgate? Also the jetpack is one of my favourite things about Splitgate, I love flying around a bunch. Halo doesn't have that. Also, as far as I can tell, there isn't a timer for matches? So I can't really know how long it will take. Is there another game that has flying like Splitgate, and also short matches? And also works on Linux.

I mean, Splitgate still has pretty consistently 100-300 players on Steam, which is enough to find a match relatively quickly. Maybe I should just play Splitgate until it is actually dead, and worry about finding a new game then. And try to find a fix for the stutters in the mean time.
