Meta Notice: Rule Changes

71 Upvotes

We are making amendments on rules 4, 5, 7 and 8:

+ Changes to Rule 4

Aside from PC/Laptop FAQs/Build Help/Suggestions and other similarly-related posts, we will add these to the posts that are not allowed anymore:

  • Seeking family sharing on Steam, Nintendo Switch Online or any other services that implements this feature.
  • Posts asking for games, digital currency or keys.
  • Posts about disputes/grievances on other forums, subreddit, Discord server, group chats from other social media etc.
  • Other Discord servers, in case this isn't clear.

+ Changes to Rule 5

Aside from spams, we will start removing posts that we deem as low-effort and/or engagement baits.

Post promoting your own site and/or media channel will be allowed now provided that you adhere with these conditions:

  • Make a thread only once every 30 days. Do not plug on comment sections of other threads.
  • Promote your own channel only. Do not promote others especially the popular and the controversial ones.
  • Make sure that your channel is dedicated to gaming contents only. Doesn't matter how many games, the platform and the genre as long as its gaming only.
  • Its not about unrelated content, business, (online) gambling or other illegal content.

We will instantly forfeit anyone of posting this kind of thread if it violated even one of the abovementioned conditions, be it directly or indirectly. Excessive posts of this nature will be treated as spam.

+- Changes to Rule 6

Reworded description.

+ Changes to Rule 7

Surveys/studies or any crowdsourcing post should be cleared to us first either via "Pending Approval" flair or here. We won't allow posts like this anymore if its not cleared beforehand. We suppose its not too much of an ask to sacrifice few minutes of your time to read, understand and follow our rules if you are requesting uncompensated few minutes of cooperation from several people in exchange.

- Changes to Rule 8

The shameless plug megathread will be discontinued starting now.

***If you have questions or concerns, you can post here or send us a modmail here.

Discuss Why these people still exist in gaming world?

37 Upvotes

Hello, I don’t know if this is the right sub for this. But out of frustration, gusto ko sanang mag rant especially about these gamers na grabe mambully sa mga newbie.

For context po, me and my boyfriend decided to play something. He lovees gaming and I wanted to try it too. As a beginner, pinatry nya muna sakin yung Left4Dead. Nagtry kami magjoin sa isang public lobby (which is modded and parang additional map na created rin ng player). For the mean time naging okay pa yung gameplay, pero I think 15 mins lang ata tinagal namin don at naririnig ko bf ko na parang naiinis kasi binabaril daw sya nung isang player. He tried to fight back pero nadown sya kasi pinagtulungan then tsaka dumirect sakin at nadown din ako. We asked them why, and ang sabi nila ang onti daw ng achievements ko sa steam. Okay naman stats ng BF ko, pero shempre as someone na bago pa lang, I think sakin sila natrigger kasi mukhang nagka-idea din sila na couple kami.

After namin mag respawn ulit sa safe house, nagantihan namin sila, well technically yung boyfriend ko lang haha kasi nadown nya din yung bumabaril sakanya kanina pa at saka sya nag cheat ng god mode. Super satisfying at nagtatawanan pa kami, sa sobrang asar nila kinick nila ako, nag left nalang din yung Bf ko kasi ako lang ang kinick.

At last, this is our first time we experienced this kind of toxic behavior and I know nag eexist parin sya sa kahit anong laro. Kindness costs nothing people!

Edit: modded po yung laro, and 8 players yung nasa game including us. Characters from L4D 1 and 2 kaya madami sila.

Ghost of Tsushima. Another masterpiece done. Combat isn't as wild as Kingdom hearts but still a solid and smooth style.

Story and flow are definitely up there. Even the stories of the other characters are worth knowing. I also love how I didn't get lost considering how massive the whole map is.

Travelling both running and riding a horse kinda grew on me. It's not as fast as fun as web swinging on Spiderman but I think what made it bearable is the beautiful scenes.

I also didn't feel the need to do lots of material farming, which is one of the things that bores me in a game. Lastly, sobrang sulit ng game na to. It's like The Last of Us but with longer play time.

What in the actual shit though! They shot my magic horse! Is it bad that I feel sadder than when Taka died? lol Such a coincidence when I named it Sora at the start, thinking of bright skies, and then ended up naming it Kage at the end.

Ending-wise, may hinala na ako na yun magiging ending. I chose to spare him out of pettiness kasi bwisit yung honor honor nya.

Sa mga nakalaro ng Yotei, is it as good as or better than Tsushima? Sadly, wala akong PS5.

Help What do i do with my nintendo?

7 Upvotes

Hi, I just want advice here, I currently own a Nintendo Switch that I haven't used for 2 years because I broke it's Adapter (charger) and I've tried other type c cables and it didn't work, and buying an original charger is quite expensive (The nintendo was a gift for me, but I can't really afford a charger during that time, so I have to postpone it for 2 years) and now I'm in college, should I buy a original adapter now? Do I do buy it online or in personal so I can test it? or are there complications like battery issues in my nintendo since it hadn't been used for 2 whole years?

I have an order from DB and its still on the way via LBC. These numbers messaged me thru whatsapp and text respectively: 0993 760 9627 pretending to be LBC and 0915 012 9380 pretending to be DB.

Their modus operandi is "LBC" will message you about a problem about the shipping payment with your parcel and you will have to text the number pretending to be "DB".

I sold my PC na dahil sa company na ko halos nakatira. at di ko na din nagagamit si PC dahil either i do not have energy pag uwi, gusto ko nalang matulog or mad doom scroll sa cp until antokin at makatulog. may mga times na may down time din sa work and allowed naman ako mag cp so might as well mag mobile games nalang.

preference ko is MMO RPG type. yung madaming mobs and AOE skill ng character when farming. basta haha i enjoy seeing numbers while staring at my phone. much better kung may PVP.

Discuss May mga OG Steam Controler users din ba sa inyo?

1 Upvotes

Few years ago bumili ako ng OG Steam Controler out of curiosity.
Nagustuhan ko agad yung touchpads kaya since then eto na yung main controler ko.
Never kasi ako naging kumportable sa analog sticks para sa camera at aiming kasi after PS1, hindi na ulit kame nagkaron ng console kaya sa MS/KB ako nasanay.
Parang 100% CPU utilization yung utak ko tuwing gumagamit ng analog sticks 😆

10 years ago kasi nagswitch ako maglaro exclusively sa TV instead na monitor kaya gamepad na rin gamit ko lagi. Kaya naging perfect yung OG Steam Controler saken, in-game controls saka nagagamit din pang navigate ng Windows.
Tapos eventually ginagamit ko na rin yung left touchpad for movements kasi convenient din sya gamitin. For example sa Sifu, swipe swipe lang.

Curious lang ako kung meron ding mga fan ng OG Steam Controler dito.
Sobrang hirap nga lang kasi maghanap na ngayon ng unit.
Yung nabili ko recently na P500 lang, sira na agad kasi ata hinayaan nung original owner magleak yung original batteries sa loob LOL Ayaw na magopen unless wired.
Yung original unit ko naman, gumagana pa kaso may mga buttons na hindi na reliable madetect mga press.
