Just flashed back to the ending of SCP Overlord

Its basically “nobody asked for this, but here it is”

Had some windows users loving the Cinnamon DE on Mint. They managed to get right into it straight away. Plus, on most Linux distros they come with easy to use package managers. And you can still get deb or rpm packages that can be used to install applications just like a windows installer exe.

Nobody has to pay for anything Lemmy or ActivityPub related because its FOSS.

That means Free Open Source Software.

As in, you can get and use the source code yourself without paying a single cent.

Just look at the current state of Skyrim modding.

Aside from some still holding to LE. There are the 1.5.97 SE users and the 1.6+ AE users. And there have been at least one or two more updates in the 1.6 line that also caused more issues and require their own dedicated builds of various mods.

Its fucked

I watch because its stupid. Its like why Call of Duty exists. Just dumb fun that doesn’t require much thought to enjoy. Sometimes you just need some good dumb fun and can’t be serious all the time.

Those alternatives are old tech that has way more limitations than a neural implant.

Just because there is old tech that SORT OF does this, doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. That’s the same attitude behind “not needing more than 4mb of RAM” back in the day. You can’t stop progress all because YOU are fine with the current state of the tech.

Based on your reaction, I’d hate to hear your opinion on AI. Let me guess, its corpo data theft and only data theft?

What about the multitude of FOSS projects that even you could use if you wanted?

Natural Harvest

or something like that I think

Certainly looks better than the average indie game. And before you come at me for saying that.

Indie is often touted as “better than AAA”. But in order for that to be the case, they need to at least offer something similar first. But most indie games are so far removed from even the average AAA game, that its basically apples and oranges.

AA, or mid-tier, is really where its at. Some of the best games in recent years have all been from the AA space. Even ones that launched rough like Elden Ring and Cyberpunk.

They are still leagues above the average indie game that most people here and “the site that shall not be named” tend to list off as their favourites.

So yes, Elden Ring indeed does have great graphics. Not the most cutting edge, but at least it looks like it belongs in the same generation as its competitors.

Funny thing is, most multiplayer blokes play at low settings anyways to maximize performance for some form of advantage.

I mean, they do. But the case for Starfield specifically is how absolutely shite it is by comparison to even previous Bethesda games.

Much rather play Fallout 3, 4 and any Elder Scrolls game than Starfield.

Awesome

Hoping I’ll find a good fps in this. Been looking for one for a while now. Most of them are basically fancy doom wads and quake clones. Might be able to find something of a more modern style.

I think Bethesda, and really all other RPGs could benefit from being basically sandboxes without any real “main quest”.

Make it about me and what I want to be in this fantasy world. Not what lame ass story the writers shat out to meet deadlines.

Lore, not linear stories. World building and evironmental story telling, not a tiny fish bowl with little exploration.

I mean, the main quest is like 10 percent of the game and playtime for most players. The remaining 90 percent is exploring, side quests, meeting interesting people, and obtaining power and fame. All of which happen on account of the player and their own story they want to tell in the dev’s world.

That’s what space sims are though. Not your type of game, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t have open flight.

On android, I use Seal. Its basically a frontend for yt-dlp and has a sponsor block feature.

I’m shitting in the shower.

I started noticing how sometimes youtube just seemingly refused to load fully on my phone. I thought it was just my crap internet. But since I use Iceraven, a fork of firefox, it seems that may be why.
