Do you know what aspects of Roblox you’re brother likes (crafting, game building, the social aspect, etc)?
For a more crafting heavy game, there’s Minecraft or Terraria (I think). For game building, Game Builder Garage on Switch, or Dreams on PlayStation might be nice. Unfortunately, I don’t have any good social game recommendations, though.
Since mullvad doesn’t support port forwarding anymore, you’ll want to split tunnel it outside of the vpn. However, if you’re considering switching vpn’s at all, airvpn has a dynamic dns service (and port forwarding) which you can set up to have a static url for your jellyfin.
Just be sure to enable the DLNA server and allow remote connections in the jellyfin settings either way.
If he’s like I was and playing on hand me down office PC’s, consider getting a better keyboard/mouse, headphones, a stick of memory or something in that line to improve his experience. Actual pc upgrades are probably a little expensive for your budget, although really nice large monitors can be had for <$150 these days.
Been slowly picking away at Blue Reflection Second Light. It’s nice and chill, and neat that the first game’s subtext of girls love isn’t subtext anymore.
Also been playing some Gundam EXVS Maxiboost On with a friend. Slowly getting our bearings and it’s neat how every session our play improves, as does our coordination.
Interesting to read the less than stellar reviews. I might try to hold off on this one and grab it on sale later, especially with Starfield coming out soon.
I have Gamepass so I’m not paying for Starfield. :-D (I know I sound like a broken record, but Gamepass is easily my favorite subscription service that I pay for these days, when it comes to entertainment value per dollar.)
But yeah, getting AC6 first and waiting on Starfield instead is not a bad option if you don’t have Gamepass. Starfield will only get better over time with patches and mod support. AC6 will probably not change significantly over time.
Unplayable mess? I never said that. However, more than a few people had game-breaking bugs in Skyrim and had to restart or hope they had a save from far enough back.
Obviously Skyrim was playable enough since it was an immediate critical success. I can’t really speak for fallout 4 since I never played it and didn’t bother following the news for it.
That being said, there are memes older than some people on lemmy equating Bethesda and bugs. They’ve earned their reputation, but good and bad.
These are actually pretty high for the Armored Core series. Armored Core 3 has a 74/100 aggregated on Metacritic, For Answer has a 62, and Verdict Day has a 66, just to name a few of the fan favorites.
I’m not really concerned about the aggregate score. I’m sure it’ll be a solid game. I’m just interested in the presumed flaws. Like any product, reading the details of the negative reviews is often far more revealing than the gushing reviews.
At the time, most reviewers considered the series as a whole stale and unnecessarily obtuse. Fans of the series didn't really see the difficulty as an issue, and newcomers to the series had no way to consider it stale, so those still became fan favorites.
Ofc! I always really enjoyed these back on reddit too. Opencritic makes it pretty easy to export this into a nice format for Lemmy (if you use the reddit option for copying)
I was just going to ask what the lineage was there - I also noticed the similarity to the reddit threads. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive on beehaw!
Talk to your IT dept. They might have a student version you can get for cheap.
And btw, 3 years is nothing for software like that. All the major features are already in the software. They just have to keep adding crap to it so people will buy the new version. It’s a big cause of software bloat.
Is your brother making games? If yes : there are several easy to use game engine like mentalo.app, Godot, gdevelop and such.
If your brother is mostly playing, then anything by Nintendo would be a good idea. Old consoles are cheap and if you have the Switch there are a lot of really good game on it.
Edit: And I second Minecraft or the free version (minetest I think)…
While I do play Roblox (because we don't have a federated alternative for it yet) I had concerns about it - moderation, playerbase maturity issues (yes, while its being taken over by young adults the majority is still unmatured), updates that the community doesn't want, and "racism" against other platforms e.g. Linux. You're right about how they exploit the creators.
Do fedi or Foss games really need a roblox alternative ? I’m not sure… Do roblox teach you how to make games? Well it teaches you do build games for roblox that’s it. Is roblox the only place to find games for kids, surely not.
Oh right, I forgot that people insist on humoring that change. I feel like if everyone keeps just calling it Twitter, he’ll just quietly change it back.
Regardless, X was used to represent a variable for about a thousand years longer than Musk has been using it, so I will keep using it that way too.
Keep it up. For me, that confusion is part of the entertainment. No one will know what the fuck anyone is talking about when they say “X”, necessitating an overly complex explanation every time. Fuck everything about X.
it’s not that I want to think of that loser more than we have to, it’s that i see the title of your post on the feed and for a brief moment i think it’s a headline from a news community. Like @MagicShel said, keep it up.
