Stellaris, 100%

Niche Sci-Fi game. 100% fun with strangers but to see people play out the battle of a Galaxy competitively playing as their empire meta or not meta would be an absolute blast.

we used to hold pong tournaments at uni, using a circuit-accurate simulator of the original hardware and home-made replica paddles. really got the crowds going.

Quake 3 Arena, but only if the tournament lasts no longer than 15 minutes. My heart can't take more...

Sim Rally Racing and Minecraft.

I'm curious how competitive Minecraft would work

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Theres a whole plethora of ranked, competitve Minecraft games, ranging from time trial type survival challenges, to parkour, to classics like Survival Games (battle royale) and Spleef. Alternatively, for something more casual, just use a whole variety of minigames.

If there a hunting simulator where you go after the 1%? Not Hitman though it comes closest I think. That one.

Sim Racing. (iRacing, Assetto Corsa, or Richard Burns Rally).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Pretty much anything that was not card related. But where I live there's gamers still gather in holes in the ground and I'm not into that.

I flew once and catched a League of Legends All-Stars event, but it was clearly too corporate and didn't have that great of a time. I hope I'll get to catch The International next year.

Arena Shooters. Any Halo, Unreal Tournament, Quake. I don't even care about it being a prize tournament. I'd just like a lan party.

Just so that we're playing the game. I don't want to hear about how you think video games are too sexist/not sexist enough. I just want to shoot a flak cannon into someone's face.

It's been actual decades since I've played Halo: CE multiplayer

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

It's playable on MCC, but the LAN Party experience is what I miss. Games, Pizza, Energy Drinks into the night. Use to do them monthly though high school. There were also pc lan parties with UT2k4 mainly and eQuake occasionally.

Before we play, we’re doing a round table on how Unreal Tournament encourages Unrealistic body expectations and discourages those who aren’t Stronger, Faster, Better.

Voluntary attendance at the round table is mandatory. But it’s a good thing because we’re making the world a better place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

At a lan party? It's definitely the other group that's the problem. Hearing the same handful of sexist jokes ever time a woman shows up and they wonder why they never stick around. This is what I actually saw, not a hypothetical.

I'm probably not as great at it as I think I am, but would absolutely love to at least participate in a local Sonic Riders Zero Gravity (PS2 version with stock controllers to ensure a fair fight) tournament.

First eight unlocked characters only with default extreme gear. A test of how well you can play the character. So long as I can get anyone besides the two default air riders, I'll be fine.

Beetle Adventure Racing! A masterpiece!
