Ah, I guess I’ve been out of the game for a while then…

youngskywalker, do games w Why are people still romanticizing No Man’s Sky’s “redemption” arc?

My favorite game to compare NMS to is actually battlefront 2, one of if not the single worst launch in video game history, after realizing their mistakes putting in the time and effort to make the game actually run well then continuing to update the game for free even after no one is expecting more content. Yes the core mechanics of BF2 is not the best even though there isn’t a single loot box or p2w mechanic left. Same with NMS the core game is still the same, it’s not a brand new concept or ground breaking new mechanics to the same game they just keep working on it, fixing bugs and adding new things. I genuinely think with the state of companies like Bungie charging for Destiny expansion in 2026, a 70$ Pokemon game with 30$ dlc, and AAAA flops this is all we can ask for back your games, COMMIT to long term development and not charge for what seems like a joke of content backed by fomo

Yes, but Hello Game is an indie game company, not a triple-A developer. Indies have a long history of long development of the game after release/public beta. The post is about the state of the game and the fanbase irrationality. HG’s direction would probably inspire a revolt in some communities.

Space Funeral

andros_rex,

I loved Space Funeral! It feels like such a love letter to fucking around and making something unique.

Fuck yeah space funeral. One minute you’re being jumpscared by dramatic Charles Baudelaire readings and then chatting up Dracula in the next. It fucking rules

Fear and Hunger 2 is pretty swell. The first one was kind of a bit too edgy for the sake of edginess, but miro did a much better job on the sequel

Donkey Kong Country 3 for SNES had one of the auxiliary Kongs playing an N64.

I draw the line at whether it’s something that can be done naturally, as a result of playing the game and enjoying it enough to put in that much time. I’ll entertain trying to 100% a game that has an achievement to farm 1000 of some herb, if it’s something that I’ll just come across in due time by making full use of all the game mechanics, and presumably see some form of in-game payoff for my efforts. I’ll instantly become content with just seeing the credits if an achievement to get a similar quantity of something is just an excuse to pad play time by making me grind some monster drops just for the sake of getting that last achievement.

Beating Dark Souls 2 without dying or using a bonfire rewards you with a ring that makes your right hand weapon completely invisible.

It isn’t worth it at fucking all, since there is a spell that does the same thing and is way easier to obtain (even in 2025 despite being a multiplayer rank reward). The spell and ring also have ZERO effect on PvE and it rarely matters in PvP when the animations of your body instantly reflect the size of your weapon to a good enough player. Like, I don’t need to see your Ultragreatsword to know that’s what you are swinging when your arm starts hefting the weight.

I 100%'ed Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. That was pretty fun with secret characters and levels to unlock.

Filling out your arsenal with adversary weapons in warframe gets easier the more you do, and a lot of them are really worth while… but maxing them out? Hell no, that’s 5 forma a pop, and the valence bonus is NOT worth re-grinding out. I’m glad DE has made the Infested Adversaries easier to deal with, so the valence bonus is easier to max out but good god. that’s too much forma.

MetalSlugX, do astronomy w Io in True Color

Not true color. This is an “enhanced” photo.

Mac,

Indeed.

This color mosaic uses the near-infrared, green and violet filters (slightly more than the visible range) of the spacecraft’s camera and approximates what the human eye would see.

bear,

It world also appear much darker.

I didn’t think about that. It almost looks metallic, or like the shading you see with 3d modelling software

sukhmel,

The source claims that enhanced is this one: …nasa.gov/…/global-image-of-io-false-color/

Thanks! My opinion is that images from NASA, ESA etc should always link to the source. They always include interesting information about what is in the image. It is also nice if I don’t need to search the database for ages.

porcoesphino,
@porcoesphino@mander.xyz avatar

Yeah… I kind of wish it was a request of the channel. I’ve found a few of the sources now and it’s mostly on this channel people seem to post other people’s images with no references

baguette,
@baguette@piefed.social avatar

I guess OP found this in yesterday’s ‘Astronomy Picture of the Day’, which includes the link you sent. Would’ve cost a second to include it in the post.

porcoesphino,
@porcoesphino@mander.xyz avatar

I wonder what we can do to help motivate including links to sources

I messaged the moderator asking if we could update the channel description but haven’t heard back

BreakerSwitch, do games w Looking for 3D Platformer recommendations on sale on Steam

I’m borderline necroposting, but I just picked up humble’s decked out collection (still available for a little over a week) and noticed Haste, which looks like it has very tasty movement and might be up your alley.

It’s never too late for more recommendations. Haste looks really good. It’s on my wishlist!

mika_mika, do games w What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing?

I’ll only answer the first one.

Achievement systems full stop. People who value completion through achievement systems are fucking uncreative persons who need to find a different hobby or reconsider why they enjoy theirs. From a dev standpoint it’s just a way of lazily padding a game.

I’m not talking about completionists of actual game content like collecting all the stars in a Mario game, or catching the 151 pokemon, but moreso the “silver trophy” for killing 2000 grunts or whatever bs achievement ideas they decided to arbitrarily create. You’re diluting the art form.
