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.

3. No excessive self-promotion

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

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

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.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Today’s game is some more Alan Wake II. I was playing with lighting and portraits to practice some stuff we had gone over in my Photography class. I got this one of him illuminated by the projector light I really liked.

There was also this one I grabbed on the stage of Door’s talk show, I got it to contrast with the warmer lighting of the other one. Kind of get a matching pair of that makes sense.

Speaking of Door’s talk show, or more so the area around it, when I exited I saw this sign that said OD Diner. At first I thought it was a reference to Alan’s addiction problems, but if I remember correctly he just had a drinking problem.

Then I realized, “duh. It’s Oh Dear Diner dumb ass.” It makes sense because it’s a dream world, which is random neurons firing off. So obviously it’s his brain (or more so the dark place) reusing his memory of the Oh Dear Diner.

I also got the privilege of discovering my PS5 controller I bought purely for PC gaming is now deciding it wants to drift. In this elevator I got stuck moving to the left. I adjusted dead zones to help a little but honestly it’s just a patch, and not even one that worked well.

Honestly, it’s kind of on me, it’s taken quite a few falls. I’ll have to see about sending it in. If not, then there’s a fancy new steam controller on the horizon that hopefully is within my budget.

Because of said Stick Drift I stopped in the theater. I’m gonna try and adjust the dead zone a little more to make it more tolerable, so we’ll see if I can do that or if I should start looking into my warranty.

It might have, honestly it’s been a while since I read through all the manuscript pages
