$95 for a case with no disc in it. No thank you.

Tak, będzie działać a napewno nic się nie zepsuje, możliwe że nawet lepiej niż z komputera bo ładowarka może dostarczyć więcej mocy (ale nie napięcia! przynajmniej dopóki głośnik nie poprosi.).

I played it for a couple hours and it was fun enough, but… I’ve found myself drawn to playing other things very easily and haven’t gone back to it.

Every time I see a post with this caption, the environment largely looks fine, but there are consistently two issues:

  • Poor seating (especially visible in this picture, where I didn’t notice a chair and sitting on a fixture would strain your back over time)
  • Neck strain (usually by having the TV sit on the floor, so you’d have to crane your neck to see it)

Forgive my reddit-remnants but all I could think when I saw the knife was the poop knife.

KurtVonnegut,

I missed that one. Poop knife?

I’m so sorry, text of the original Reddit post below.

My family poops big. Maybe it’s genetic, maybe it’s our diet, but everyone births giant logs of crap. If anyone has laid a mega-poop, you know that sometimes it won’t flush. It lays across the hole in the bottom of the bowl and the vortex of draining water merely gives it a spin as it mocks you. Growing up, this was a common enough occurrence that our family had a poop knife. It was an old rusty kitchen knife that hung on a nail in the laundry room, only to be used for that purpose. It was normal to walk through the hallway and have someone call out “hey, can you get me the poop knife”? I thought it was standard kit. You have your plunger, your toilet brush, and your poop knife. Fast forward to 22. It’s been a day or two between poops and I’m over at my friend’s house. My friend was the local dealer and always had ‘guests’ over, because you can’t buy weed without sitting on your ass and sampling it for an hour. I excuse myself and lay a gigantic turd. I look down and see that it’s a sideways one, so I crack the door and call out for my friend. He arrives and I ask him for his poop knife. “My what?” Your poop knife, I say. I need to use it. Please. “Wtf is a poop knife?” Obviously he has one, but maybe he calls it by a more delicate name. A fecal cleaver? A Dung divider? A guano glaive? I explain what it is I want and why I want it. He starts giggling. Then laughing. Then lots of people start laughing. It turns out, the music stopped and everyone heard my pleas through the door. It also turns out that none of them had poop knives, it was just my fucked up family with their fucked up bowels. FML. I told this to my wife last night, who was amused and horrified at the same time. It turns out that she did not know what a poop knife was and had been using the old rusty knife hanging in the utility closet as a basic utility knife. Thankfully she didn’t cook with it, but used it to open Amazon boxes. She will be getting her own utility knife now.


<span style="color:#323232;">[Edit: Common question - Why was this not in the bathroom instead of the laundry room? Answer. We only had one poop knife, and the laundry room was central to all three bathrooms. I have no idea why we didn't have three poop knives. All I know is that we didn't. We had the one. Possibly because my father was notoriously cheap about the weirdest things. So yes, we shared our poop knife.]

KurtVonnegut,

Beautiful story. Thank you.

Will it run on Linux?

I tried the benchmark and that seems to run fine.

houseofkeb,

I had some trouble with the beta but didn’t get far testing, have been planning to boot into Windows for it.

Seemed like folks were running into similar issues on ProtonDB fwiw.

Sanguine,

Turn off Frame generation. At least in beta that solved Video issues for me and others.

Who knows how it’ll be on launch 🤞

Breadhax0r,

The demo had significan graphical problems, allegedly it was an older build of the game so hopefully it works at launch

@domi@lemmy.secnd.me avatar

AMD: Yes (Played the last beta for a few hours, make sure to use Proton Experimental)

Nvidia: I believe the graphical issues are not fixed yet

Steam Deck: Game does not run well

Runs fine on Linux. Beta had an issue where you’d have to run with super resolution set to “Native AA” or you would get a black screen.

That’s been fixed for the launch (at least fixed in the benchmark).

Don’t recall any other large issues.

I played it when it was new and I'm afraid some people just don't get the magic of the gameplay. I'm one of those people. The setting is gorgeous but the action side of things bored me. It felt like homework I had to do before the game would let me see the next bit of the setting.

Excellent compilation of reviews but it would be nice to list where the game can be bought from. Steam, GOG, … ? I saw it on steam but not sure about the others.

Steam yes, GOG no. Also PSN.

As I recall the powers combined with shooting was really new to the genre, along with the ways you combine them. Lighting enemies on fire who would run to water to put themselves out, then hitting water with electricity to zap a group was creative stuff. The way big daddies acted like a boss fight you could tackle in a bunch of different ways was significant too. The options there and with many other obstacles gave player agency for how to navigate most non-linear levels that was a real rarity. For instance, those turrets - have you shcoked them and hacked them? What about freezing them and hacking them? Or using hypnosis on enemies to make them fight the turret? But hacking all those turrets makes for a great distraction in a big daddy fight. And breaking the turrets gives you more ammo.

At the time most shooter were “go here shoot this, go there shoot that” and hell, thats still really common. This game really shook it up, even if it drew inspiration from thief and system shock, it did a lot to improve and advance them. Combined with the unique environment, smart story line, and interesting characters there’s plenty of reason it sticks in people’s memories as an all time classic.

Paradachshund, do gaming w I just finished Bioshock for the first time!

You nailed it about the gameplay in your guess. It was very cutting edge when it came out. The animations on the plasmids were especially memorable I recall. It’s interesting to hear that part doesn’t hold up so well.

I’d highly recommend you play 2 as well. It’s quite different but I thought it was the best of the series gameplay-wise.

If you like the setting I would also recommend you go on to play BioShock infinite and specifically the DLC for it. I won’t say why, and I recommend you go through the base game first (very cool in its own right), but the DLC is really going to tickle your fancy I think.

Looking forward to it but still will not pre-order!

tenacious_mucus, do gaming w I just finished Bioshock for the first time!

I played through all 3 games again back-to-back a few years ago (having previously only played separately as they released), lots of stuff tie them all together and loop back to familiar scenes and incidents from different angles and times, even a 2 part DLC for Infinite. Basically looping back to where the first game starts that kinda makes it an Infinite story loop…very well done.

Also, there’s a book that prequels the first game- tells the story of Ryan building Rapture and how it all got started. Lots of back-story and lore on quite a few characters…especially “Fontaine” and how he ended up as the fish merchant…

That XboxEra review isn’t very helpful at all.

Bioshock is a true classic, in my opinion. The setting still intrigues me to this day, and I finished the game many years ago. I was very disappointed when the proposed movie did not make it to the big screen.
