I started a Minecraft modpack called “Raspberry Flavoured”. It stood out to me because it boldly reworks many vanilla mechanics, while focusing on keeping a mostly vanilla playstyle. Villagers, the end, XP and enchanting, all completely removed. It reworks early game progression to use copper in place of stone, and copper has now become one of the most useful resources. It does have Create, so late game looks like it’ll be heavy on automation. The recipes are changed so early game still has mining, chopping and smelting. But it’s a breath of fresh air so far and the mods are incredibly well integrated!

That’s so cool! Now I’m ashamed of my boring wooden rectangle bases. 😅

hazeebabee,

Lol no shame in a nice rectangle! They’re a classic, so easy and convenient :p

shneancy,

try out circles! there’re neat tools that help with drafting pixel art circles. a bit of a pain to build (you’ll definitely need the ruler) but it’s fun to see some spheres and domes in your world :)

Elevator7009,

Not everyone has to be a master architect/artist, just to enjoy the game :)

simple,

Every time I play Terraria I tell myself I’ll actually start building something good then end up making the boring rectangle hotel to stuff all my NPCs in one place. It’s just too good.

hazeebabee,

Lol this save also has a rectangle npc hotel. I typically build simple near spawn then build fun stuff around the map as I feel inspired / when I make pylons.

dota__2,

terraria added years ago the whole npc favored locations/friendship stuff that enables you to unlock the crystals for fast travel. and being able to get across the map that quickly is just too valuable to me.

That looks awesome reminds me of a level from the game UnEpic.

hazeebabee,

Thanks :) & I’ve never played unepic, it looks cool tho. I’m a fan of platformers, do you think it’s still worth getting a copy?

Unepic wasn’t bad, but doesn’t hold a candle to Terraria. It’s still my favorite sandbox game.

Replaying links awakening and the oracle games. Been on a 2D zelda kick lately and LA is my fav.

What’s the difficulty level of Black Mesa? I played the OG Half Life a few years ago and struggled a bit with it

cobysev,
@cobysev@lemmy.world avatar

It’s not that bad. They have three difficulty settings: Normal, Black Mesa, and Hard. I played on Normal and I haven’t really struggled anywhere. I think I’ve only died once in my whole gameplay, and it was when I was fighting off waves of Marines flooding a single large space that I couldn’t leave. I’m assuming “Black Mesa” is their suggested difficulty level.

I remember the Vortigaunts sidestepping your shotgun blasts on Black Mesa.

The world could always use more fishing games

Good enough for me. I’ve installed it to my phone and I’ll probably never play it or think about it again, but there’s a chance I’ll give it a try someday!

Pretty sure you can drop the ‘until I forgot’ part.

I probably could lol. At this point i only keep it for consistency. It’d bother me just lobbing that bit off after 257 days

That quiet smile at the end is great. It's good to have purpose, regardless of what it is. I still have all my old cards for whatever reason, all the way back to the TNT. It will never get used again, but I feel trashing it is disrespectful for all the joy it gave me when it could.

I started my daughter on a custom DMG gameboy I threw together with a new shell and rechargeable battery. Spare copy of pokemon red. Since then, got her a ds lite and fixed an old 3ds screen and she got that, too. Was going to grab her a mini pc to hook up to the television so she could play modded minecraft, but she seemed less enthusiastic about that.

During the Covid GPU shortage, my card died and I had to go back to my Geforce 9800 GX2. A monster of a card (in 2008).

I did not have a good time. But it was incredible it even worked at all.

There is still a GPU shortage, but they just blamed Covid. Before they blamed crypto. Now they blame AI.

TheGrandNagus,

I’m aware of the current shortage.

Unfortunately I feel we’ll be forever prone to this now that GPUs are useful for far more than just gaming. The market is being shared with people who are willing to spend a lot more for the same silicon.

melroy,
@melroy@kbin.melroy.org avatar

The vendors should stop calling it GPUs if its not used as a GPU. AI workloads are not GPU, cryptomining are not GPU. Nvidia and alike should create a different name for it. Nvidia H100 for example is still called GPU, but it has nothing to do with a normal GPU you and I use.

Jakeroxs,

It’s about the type of computation it does, not their fault it fits better for those use cases lol

that is also fine. Or just call it "AI cards" when these chips are obviously meant from AI interference workloads.

RightHandOfIkaros,

Can’t artificially increase prices without artificially increasing demand by manufacturing an artificial shortage.
