I miss when Gitkraken used to be free. They nickel and dimed every feature they possibly could have
Small scale isn’t a bad thing. If anything, all I really want are well-crafted, appropriately priced, self-contained experiences. I just want it to be a good game, and that’s all it needs to be.
inZOI on the other hand i’m not really interested at all in. The character creation stuff looked cool, but the rest of what was shown looks really jank
I still have yet to understand what is new in Splatoon 3. I play 2 casually, just for a few pvp matches every so often, and it’s good as is
Upgrading as soon as BORE patches come out of testing
I have a RaspberryPi with a Plex container sitting upstairs. Works like a charm
In 99% of the situations, i couldn’t care less what the metacritic score is. Reviewers can be paid, publications can be biased and/or tired, and in general, a lot of the scores don’t actually represent how real players feel.
This is especially obvious, when reviewing longer games, or specifically MMOs. You cannot rank that after playing for 10 hours.
My first stop for reviews is always my friends. Based on their general recommendations, i frequently find incredibly fun games, that are otherwise unimpressive at first glance
That is really bad news. Annapurna has been one of the publishers that’s consistently got excellent unique games under its brand
I’ve tried basically everything under the sun, and keep returning to Thunderbird. Thankfully they’ve fixed the endless amount of performance issues with it.
Everything else is either in a horrible state, abandoned, or paid spyware that used to be a free project originally
This really isn’t a good comparison at all. One gives you a list of choices you can make, and the other gives you a blind answer.
If seeing what argument types the function takes make me a worse engineer, so be it, I guess
Anything that allows people to blindly and effortlessly get results inherently makes them more stupid. Your brain is like any muscle. You need to repeatedly use it for it to work well
The point is that they’re not getting anything from me. I’d would much rather spend that extra dollar on a really good indie game.
On the topic of which, i’ve finished Tunic today, and it’s been absolutely excellent. Strongly recommended
Ubisoft won’t even be getting a dollar from me
I have zero issues whatsoever, even on Nvidia. Even before the 560-series driver, my issues were slim to none. I’ve been exclusively on Wayland since Plasma 5.22, and even before that with GNOME, just because it’s astronomically more smooth visually
I’ve always enjoyed the identity of the three classes, and the abilities they have, plus gunplay has historically been pretty fun. That said, ever since i’ve started playing, the three things i’ve enjoyed were 1. the raids, 2. the story, and 3. my friends.
Unfortunately, Bungie make it overwhelmingly difficult to have fun in this game, by both making moronic decisions at times, and drip-feeding paying customers content, as if it’s a f2p game on life support. The latter alone has practically made me stop playing recently. You have to pay money to each each season, and all you get is a 30 second cutscene for the weekly story, plus a 10 minute adventure in a zone you’ve already been to a thousand times? Come on
Their general point of view is definitely not wrong.
When it comes to music, I’ve had a good time using Reaper for casual guitar recording, however a bunch of my plugins struggle horrible with Yabridge. A lot of this stuff has online per-system drm these days, namely anything from NeuralDSP, so that often puts it to a halt
This one is supposed to fix the obnoxious explicit sync bugs, so fingers crossed
I know more than a handful of developers who religiously refuse to learn version control systems, and barely know how to operate a computer in general. It’s more of a mindset issue
It really just depends on what you do, and how you do it.
A formula-1 car is not for normies, but a regular car is. Same principle applies here. My tech illiterate mom has Fedora on her laptop, and she finds it considerably more intuitive to use, than her previous Windows installations
This isn’t Windows, and this isn’t freeware
The entire Gitkraken suite used to be free before 2016. The free tier you get now is a severely crippled version of what it used to be.
Not everything is a conspiracy, just so you understand
