Finally got around to trying Dwarf Fortress and I am in love lol. I’m really impressed with the UI changes the dev was able to pull off for the Steam release, I play perfectly comfortably using a custom config with my Steam controller.

robert, do games w Hogwarts Legacy - a weird (90 hour) review *no spoilers

@Cataphract I mostly agree with your assessment. If's a fun game. It's not great, it's just fine though. I played it, had fun with it, I think they did an amazing job with the castle and the setting then put and extremely mediocre RPG into it. They could have done so much more. I didn't feel like I wasted my time, but I also didn't feel like it was a great game at all. It's worth it, on sale for $20-40 max I'd say. If you're a huge potter fan it's a must play, if you're not, eh it's fine. Like Assassin's creed. It's fine.

However, how did they ever say no DLC? I will never understand this. They made a money printer for potter fans, the world is empty with barely anything to do in it. They could be cranking out DLC every quarter for this and I know people would be buying it. I thought these companies liked money, how the hell did they decide not to do that?

mtlvmpr, do gaming w Reviewers giving high scores to poorly optimised games really grinds my gears

I don’t even see the optimising problem as bad probably because I’m used to it. Evil Within for example ran terribly on launch but since then I have upgraded my setup and played through it. Checking the benchmarks just is something you should do on PC. Reviewers usually are pretty out of touch with rest of the world or average gamer just doesn’t care about drops and sub 30 framerates.

I feel like a worse problem currently is how games are made with TAA in mind or with forced TAA so you just can’t make them look good even with time and more powerful hardware. It’s either blurry mess with artifacts thrown in or something that doesn’t even look like 1080p on 4K resolution.

Taking a break from Junkfood 4, I’m currently going through Chilling Reign - a wintery episode for Heretic. Also, Skyrim.

Xbox had a sale so I picked up “Ravenswatch”, an action rougelike game where you play as fallen versions of fairy tale characters. For example Red Riding Hood is a playable character, but this version is a werewolf.

The other day unlocked Carmilla, a dhampir based on Sheridan Le Fanu’s novella. I really like her playstyle.

Also been playing Monster Prom.

Been enjoying Aloft, a pretty cozy exploration/survival game about restoring the environment of various floating islands.

Also started working my way through Disco Elysium.

Earflap, do astronomy w [Seeking Advice]Amateur Radio Telescope

This redditor is both a ham radio operator, and an actual radio astronomer! Might be willing to answer some of your questions, maybe.

conditional_soup,

I dunno if you meant to link to a sub instead of a user, but that’s what I’m seeing. That sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Earflap,

She’s very popular and I would imagine gets lots of messages. I’m not sure if she would prefer to have you message her directly or post on the subreddit. Either way, Andromeda321 is the real deal. Good luck! Be sure to post your pics here, I bet they’ll be real cool!

conditional_soup,

Awesome, thanks! Don’t hold your breath, though. Right now, this thing is paying for itself, and it’s not much. My first goal is to get a used DSLR so I can take promotional pictures. I know it’s a manually slewed scope, but I’m not trying to take crazy multi-hour exposures, I’m trying to show what people might expect to see IRL, and take promotional shots of people on the class. Then, I’ll probably look at making the radio telescope rig more seriously, hopefully before summer.

@TyrianMollusk@lemm.ee avatar

Seems like a strange problem. I’d suggest playing more different games, and focusing on getting your hands in tune with the specific game rather than the type of game or perspective, and being more aggressive about remapping controls to fit how you want to play.

I switch games a lot and don’t generally have issues settling into a game just because its controls are off from another game, but if a dev puts something common somewhere weird, I’m absolutely going to move it to one of the places I expect it to be.

kryptonidas, do astronomy w Public stargazing classes

I live half a world away so I can’t attend but I think it’s a cool concept. I have no idea how long it takes to re-align the scope between takes.

There is definitely some magic in that, I don’t know if you have both scopes, then you can set an automatic up for people that just want to take a quick peek, and use the manual to explain your story.

conditional_soup,

It doesn’t take too long to adjust unless somebody really headbutts the scope, which happens. Typically it’s just slewing targets back into frame because of the Earth’s rotation, which at 110x and a good RACI, is pretty easy. I think it takes maybe 15-20s every third guest to make sure they’ve got a good view (takes a bit longer sometimes if they’ve pushed the focuser in). I’m definitely thinking that a GOTO/PUSH TO modification kit might be in my future, but I’m trying not to spend more money at the moment.

Jeżeli nie widzisz żadnych postów coś jest nie tak z twoją aplikacją/przeglądarką. Wejdź przez jakąś inną przeglądarkę. Chyba, że subskrybujesz z innego konta np. na serwerze mastodona, który wcześniej nie łączył się z tą społecznością - wtedy zobaczysz dopiero kolejne posty.

You want to travel back to the 1940s?

psx_crab,

Fun fact: Wolfenstein first released in 1981 as Castle Wolfenstein, and the famous one is 1992 Wolfenstein 3D. The Wolfenstein people usually talks about these day is the one made by MachineGames. There’s no known Wolfenstein released in 1940s.

Lost_My_Mind,

Plenty of nazis running around today. No time travel needed.

True I did see a lot online excusing Biden sending money to kill kids & saying people should vote for Kamala even though she said she’d pay Israel to kill kids too.

Aurenkin,

But Kamala didn’t get in so all those kids are now safe, right?

sturmblast,

Fun fact, Trump just lifted the hold on 2,000 pound bombs being sent to Israel, guess where those are going? You let the house burn down while you were trying to save the garage.

zergtoshi,

…and failed to save anything at all.

Sirushimself,

But it still doesn’t justify Biden sending shit there too, just cuz the bombs are bigger now doesn’t mean Biden isn’t just as guilty. They are both trash and the Israelis are complete shit humanbeings to be given a place to exist then exterminate everyone who lived there first.

Deceptichum,

Libs suck, but the Nazis are the actual racist white supremacist fascists - the Trump supporters.

Ah yes, the unscientific theory that 50% of the population are all racist white supremacist fascists.

If that “logic” helps you cope, fine, but its effectiveness will probably deteriorate rapidly over time. Enjoy knowing that the next four years are partially your fault.

endeavor,

So you vote for the party that wants to invade random sovreign nations. Got it. You just got owned.

@timewarp@lemmy.world avatar

I didn’t vote for Trump. That is your emotions dictating your logic.

Sirushimself,

I agree with this. Jews are committing genocide in the west Bank, They are disgusting.

You are just a downvote factory my friend.
