My sister in christ lower THE THERMOSTAT DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HEATING COST NOWADAYS WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE WE DIDN'T HAVE HEATING WE FROZE TO DEATH
The thing is miss is immersion and progression. It feels like you get a 1000hp lambo five hours into the game, and the gameplay is just driving around a track interrupted by navigating clunky menus.
Some of my favorite indie games are "art of rally" and "revhead", the former having great driving but no progression and the latter having great progression and customisation, just very mediocre driving.
Gran Turismo is Playstation exclusive and has only released two games the last decade. Quite sad since I have heard a lot of great things about it.
Haven't played the crew, but it seems to follow the same "drive a supercar around a track" that Forza has.
Not saying there are no racing games, but there is a lack of variety besides the four flavors of: Microsoft racing game, EA racing game, Ubisoft racing game or Codemasters (Recently acquired by ea) racing game. Compare this to the huge variety in strategy games or shooters.
The only thing keeping racing games relevant for me are the amazing indie games, but the lack of content hinders them more than other genres imo.
Whatever happened to racing games
How come there are so few racing games coming out lately? Feels like it's just codemasters doing their thing, some struggling indie games and a truckload of shovelware. I'm not saying it's dead but wasn't racing games one of the primary genres?
Another thing that bugs me with the few games that come out is the lack of progression and immersion. NFS Unbound impressed me slightly with actually starting you out with a low spec car and having slow (by modern standards) progression. However halfway through when you have fast and "cool" cars you really felt the games mediocrity.
Dirt rally 1 and 2 has economy systems, but after a single championship you can basically buy whatever car you want. The rallies are immersive but everything between is just boring menues.
Why do you think the state of racing games is so poor? The industry being shit? Audiences not playing them anymore?
As long as he declares
"I am about to commit an official act as president" before he starts his rampage it's all good
I guess they're checking if it matters. There's nothing that inherently making a video worse if it's old. However I must admit that even I tend to think twice if a video is mulitpile years old
QoL has become accepted internet lingo
I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape I can not escape
My personal theory is that it boils down to how many people it takes to make games (too many to be useful imo). This is probably a sympton of
"hey, what feature can the new guy work on?"
"idfk make him add toenails or something"
As someone living in the Baltic tides have always been so weird. My local lake is at most 5 meters deep, mostly around 3. Would they just dissappear completely?
Poor Gaddafi was attacked by the corrupt NATO, to the disgust of the rest of the world (except that it was resolution by the UN security council).
Gentoo is basically arch but built around everything being compiled locally. There isn't to my knowledge any "Gentoo-install", but if you can manage to install arch manually it should be quite similar. Gentoo is a bit more complex than arch so if installing gentoo manually seems daunting I would recommend staying on arch.
I've tried it, but couldn't really get into it. Didn't feel like there was much deduction, but more just evidence collecting. However I didn't play for too long and I'm planning to try again. I assume it takes same time to get invested
Any good games that break the mold
It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?
Average lemmy.ml opinion.
Russia has participated in 14 wars since it left the Soviet union. Basically all of Russias European neighbours have been victims of Russian imperialism in the last hundred years. NATO needs to exist to keep peace in Europe
250 watts of led generates about 25000 lumens. You sir have a about a quarter square meter of sun in your pc in light.
One of my favorite games of all time. Great story and a fun and interesting world. Love the progression that isn't the normal "weak in the prolouge, strong the rest of the game", as you feel weak for most of the game, making it super satisfying when you can confidently beat harder enemies.
I would recommend creating an account and see how many youtuber you watch are on there. Many upload to both.
However daily driving might be tough.
Man I'm torn on Odysee. On one hand it's a good and intuitive YouTube alternative, but the cryptoshilling and the uh... interesting crowd that "free speech" platforms always get.
However if more people moved there I assume this special crowd will quickly be outnumbered and made irrelevant
The Paradox DLC model is good
The games they release are complete in them selves, and with 15-20€ dlces every ~6 months they keep the games fresh with new content.
People rarely complain that features are missing from their games until it gets added in a DLC. Then suddenly it's a mandatory feature.
How many alts do you have on lemmy
Personally I have three accounts. This is my main, but I have a reserve for stuff and one for my local region/language. What about you?
Which games that were reviewed poorly did you actually like?
Personally never had a problem with Victoria 3. A bit buggy on release but nothing game breaking
Do you have some minor life advice?
Mine is to to keep chocolate in the fridge. It's a lot crunchier and has more chocolate taste.
Opinions on Hersir - Hulkoff?

What do you guys think of this new album? I would probably qualify it as dark/industrial folk metal for those who haven't heard it yet. I must say it usually takes me a while to warm up to this kind of music but some of these tracks are bangers straight of the bat. Really enjoy the amount of folk in this album, folk metal tends to turn into power metal but with a violin (not that it's necessarily a bad thing). I also like the variety, the tracks are different enough but not completely disconnected from each other. I would like to know what you're guys impressions are, though do note that this genre isn't for everyone.
How come there isn't more torrent based technology
Most of the problems in the current internet landscape is caused by the cost of centralized servers. What problems are stopping us from running the fediverse on a peer to peer torrent based network? I would assume latency, but couldn't that be solved by larger pre caching in clients? Of course interaction and authentication should be handled centrally, but media sharing which is the largest strain on servers could be eased by clients sending media between each other. What am I missing? Torrenting seems to be such an elegant solution.
Is it just me or does grad and hex just prove horseshoe theory?
I thought horseshoe theory was disproven but most posts on there could just as well be from far right extremists. It's just contrarianism for the sake of being contrarian.
