Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

I have keepinventory enabled on my server and it's awesome. Games are supposed to be fun, and losing all of your items is not very fun

[–] Live_your_lives@lemmy.world 72 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That's why I like to mod my games with a gravestone mod. Your items are safe but dying still costs you something.

[–] ech@lemm.ee 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It's funny when you die in the nether lava ocean and have to go on a sand excavation to get your stuff back.

[–] comrade19@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I like the sound of that. I think valheim nails it for balance so if its anything like that. We're playing bedrock edition.

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Valheim actually sucks with how they handle death - you lose a very significant portion of your skills each time. It isn't a problem when you have 10 in woodcutting and it goes to 8, but at 100 and it going to 98 is a very huge deal that takes hours to get back.

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago

Can't you change those multipliers when you create the world? Haven't played it on very long time so maybe I am confusing it with rimworld and the likes.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I usually just burn a few ender pearls making teleporting keys until I die outside of the lava lake.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 14 points 9 months ago

I like the challenge. To me, games are more fun when sometimes they’re frustrating.

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 12 points 9 months ago

But losing is fun. Sometimes. I mean people play dark souls.

As I have already said:

I'm not Greg from gregtech lol. I just made the unfortunate mistake of not checking whether something with the name gregtech already exists when registering my domain name.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god it's greg from gregtech. I thought for sure you'd have keepinventory off.

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm not Greg from gregtech lol. I just made the unfortunate mistake of not checking whether something with the name gregtech already exists when registering my domain name.

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I kind of figured but it's such a meme in the GT community that I couldn't help myself lol.

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

To me this removes the threat of exploring completely and makes it not fun.
There is literally no danger to doing anything and it's boring.

[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Depends on the person playing. I prefer keepinv and you don't

[–] GreyCat@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I agree, that's why I said "To me" :)

[–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 1 points 9 months ago

I use graveyard mods for it, gives me at least a chance but lowers challenge some

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 45 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Never trust a nether portal.

Sometimes, they can even spawn in the air.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 15 points 9 months ago

They used to spawn a small obsidian platform if the portal happened to not spawn on solid ground

[–] noname_yet2077@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Hey, nice smasnug! But don't hold it upside down by the stand. Learned the hard way 😔🙏

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 28 points 9 months ago

Hey, nice smasnug!

It took me way longer than I want to admit to decipher this lol.

[–] Fortatech@gregtech.eu 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

turns my smasnug upside down, just to see... Oh yeah, don't do that.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)
[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

I would guess the screen separates from the stand, causing it to crash to the ground

[–] Fortatech@gregtech.eu 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] gregor@gregtech.eu 1 points 9 months ago

I did, what happens??

You guys are thoroughly confusing me

[–] 0laura@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

it's a Greg or be Gregged world these days...

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Basalt Deltas are the worst Nether biome.
When my portal spawned me right into one I did a 180 and made another portal

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

At least it wasn’t a long-standing hardcore world.

[–] NataliaTheDrowned2@fedia.io 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)
[–] comrade19@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Using it for the ray tracing but its too dark to play with it on haha

[–] KoalaUnknown@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I recommend taking a look at Iris. You can use it in combination with Sodium, Distant Horizons, and Complementary Shaders for to make Java edition really beautiful.

[–] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

also bedrock ray tracing isn't even made for actual play, it's only made for a few specially designed maps. people found how to move a folder from the map worlds file into a location in a normal world folder to make the world have RTX.

(most of) the shaders on Iris are MADE to play with so you won't encounter as many issues.

[–] style99@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Just wait till you decide to start collecting blaze rods or farming wither skele heads.
