Yeah, I can see why the US is falling to pieces.

Dictatorship is when government doesn’t do things.

mindbleach,

Oh right, this is .ml, where we’re playing make-believe that the lifetime figurehead who won an election against nobody is toootally a legitimate example of popular democracy. Because it would be impossible to criticize The West™ unless the immediate alternative was completely flawless.

Inventing a domestic video-game company obviously isn’t totalitarian, but it’s some Kim Jong Un shit. It’s an autocrat copying a theme park, with blackjack, and hookers. (Oh god. Tell me I’m not gonna see people pretend the Kims are anything but a hereditary monarchy.)

Ilflish, do games w Fans of Pokémon-inspired MMO Temtem are arguing with the developer about what MMO means after Crema CEO says it's 'not feasible' to keep adding content forever

A Massively multiplayer online role playing game does not mean the game is a game as a service. It’s a route of finance just like some shooting games are and some aren’t.

The Link’s Awakening remake on Switch is worth your time. I loved the original, and I loved the remake. I hope they continue bringing their old games forward like this (LA, Mario RPG, etc.)

Oh don't you worry, I've completed it. But thank you :)

I agree, I thought it was great and I felt the art direction really fit the original perfectly!

I've been slowly working my way through 100%ing every Zelda game. Done almost all of them other than BotW & TotK.

BaroqBard, do games w Superb survival city-builder Against the Storm is finally finished and released

Superb is right! Absolutely a delight, it’s become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between “chilled out,” familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.

DeadPand, do games w Superb survival city-builder Against the Storm is finally finished and released

Been playing it the last few weeks, pretty addicting

ABCDE,

Addictive

Ashyr,

Honestly, you’re wandering into prescriptive vs descriptive grammar on this one. How we use words changes over time. For example, it’s not nearly as big of a deal to to end sentences with a preposition anymore.

No need to be pedantic, the meaning is clear.

Addicting, especially for non-professional usage, is perfectly fine these days.

But I tend to be a descriptionist.

thorbot,

Addicting is a perfectly cromulent term to use in place of addictive

ABCDE,

Incorrect usage and descriptivism are still separable; it’s still not a word (yet), although that is arguable of course.

grahamja,

It’s English, there are no rules. Call the cops, no one cares.

dumpsterlid,

People really really reallllly want to believe there are laws of grammar/language like there are laws of physics and it is honestly kind of hilarious.

The power of language comes from there being no rules or laws, language is just the sum of what people choose to write and say. You can impose patterns on what people tend to write and say, but ultimately it is no different than looking into the night sky and deciding a couple of stars makes the shape of a lion and believing you have determined something fundamental about those stars.

ABCDE,

    @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de avatar

    Seems like they won’t release it before it’s in a state where it’ll “just work” on about machine, which makes sense, since that’s the thing that helped the Steam Deck to success.

    To that end it’ll probably be a while before they can get there, particularly for machines with NVIDIA GPUs, assuming stuff like multi-monitor VRR and bug-free Wayland support is on the list of requirements.

    @Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

    I guess this is a different SteamOS than the one that has been freely available for years?

    Goronmon,

    It’s available, but not really built or supported for standard desktop installation, at least as far as I know.

    Quik,

    I think what’s meant is there isn’t an official ISO to download as it’s not yet that polished for PCs

    Jaysyn,
    @Jaysyn@kbin.social avatar

    There used to be though. I have it on a DVD. SteamOS is much older than the SteamDeck.

    Goronmon,

    The name is old, but there are distinct distributions. Debian vs Arch.

    Railcar8095,

    The current, unavailable for general download, is Steam OS 3. Valve just refuses to put a number 3 anywhere, do they just pretend the other two do not exist.

    BTW, there are a few “almost steam os” out there. I can vouch for Bazzite, it’s fedora based and really good. Very welcoming for beginners, but had a lot of options of you want to dig a bit.

    puttybrain,

    I think you’re talking about the really old version from the steam machines. The OS the Steam Deck uses (version 3.0+) is completely rebuilt and uses a different OS as a base (now using Arch instead of Debian)

    doggle,

    If you mean the old Debian based one, yes. SteamOS 3+ is arch based and released with the steam deck. Valve said they’d release a version for desktops, but have yet to follow through.

    bionicjoey, do gaming w Every Bethesda RPG, ranked from worst to best

    Weird that the author includes ESO. That’s an outsource game using Bethesda’s IP. They might as well include Fallout NV (which would of course top the list if it were included)

    qfjp,

    How is ESO outsourced? It’s made by a studio within Zenimax that was basically created just for that game.

    crazyman, do games w Warfare MMO Foxhole is adding naval combat complete with huge multi-person ships

    “Multi-person” doesn’t do it justice. The battleships are designed to be run with a deck crew of 16+. Submarines 8, and destroyers 12+.

    It’s going to be a major task of coordination for these things to be run. I’ve seen players have a hard time coordinating tanks, and that’s usually just a driver and a gunner.

    birbboidaseed, do games w Todd Howard says Starfield was 'made to be played for a long time,' but a month after launch I'm already drifting away

    This game feels more like a chore with a million fetch quests. I never made it out of new Atlantis in my play through. Bg3 is so much more nuance and a way better game.

    Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow,

    The one truly great thing about Skyrim is the ability to just wander and fall into trouble.

    That simply doesn’t exist in a game where travelling is a loading screen.

    birbboidaseed,

    Yeah I don’t know why they can’t make space travel to work similar to NMS. That would have been so much better. I don’t really feel like I’m exploring anything jumping from system to system. Hell even planets to planets.

    Yeah I don’t know why they can’t make space travel to work similar to NMS

    Because the Creation Engine is a pile of shit stacked on top of another pile of shit known as Gamebryo. The only way it even is able to handle high speed vehicles for the space combat is by having much smaller external cells with absolutely nothing in them.

    What they could have done, though, is make the planets fully walkable. For some reason, those are also not seamless. You eventually hit invisible walls in any sector you land at. The engine is very capable of handling that, though. Especially if it’s just empty terrain.

    Skwerls,

    Seriously, I wish they had dropped that engine. It’s so hodge podge and lacking, they had a decade to make starfield in a new to them engine. Instead we get this shit in 2023

    Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow,

    Can’t believe Bethesda own id Software and at no point set them to work updating the engine to a modern standard.

    Tunawithshoes, do games w Todd Howard says Starfield was 'made to be played for a long time,' but a month after launch I'm already drifting away

    While I enjoyed my time I really struggling to find what I feel like I would different on a new playthrough making me worried about longevity of this game.

    It really feels like unless bethesda (unlikely) or moders could do something drastic I would not return. Just pick the game back up and do the new thing.

    Feels not enough to do by only stick to space. Not enough ammo to not use a variety of weapon. Nor that much other ways to deal with combat that it would warrant a new play through.

    Grumpy,

    I only played like 15hrs of vanilla Skyrim. But played like 1000+ hrs of modded Skyrim. I’ve now played about 30hrs of starfield. If the modding scene gets as big as Skyrim, I think it would have merit in longevity.

    wildginger,

    So, what, bethesda games are now just fancy Little Big Planet sandboxes? Where the main game is just something to keep you busy until the real content creators arive?

    Tunawithshoes,

    Honestly feels like that.

    They given many things in the base game fells like that they where more showcase.

    Here is background it exists we barely doing anything with it but maybe you find it useful.

    Here is new game plus it erases the whole world so if you want to reset world.

    Here is enormous skybox. We have no reason why you can fly across the star system but tons of space for you.

    Tunawithshoes,

    Oh definitely the modding is going to carry. But what point I tried to make is I will need something big for me to consider a new playthrough. Not just adding in bunch of mods to existed save file.

    Unlike Skyrim where I felt start over for mods I could actually feel like I had choice and it kinda made a difference in play style to be a mage or a knight.
