Yes! As a die hard Grim Dawn fan I can say Last Epoch is awesome. Grim Dawn is still better imho, but Last Epoch comes close. Both are excellent games one could easily put 100+ hours in and have a blast.
I just wish that I could start at a higher difficulty on Grim Dawn with the appropriate scaling. I don’t want to do the campaign 3 times just like old days.
Didn’t they just change the game with the last patch (still being updated, my God the devs are GOATed) so they you can play to 100 in any difficulty? I still imagine you get pasted in elite and ultimate if that’s your issue though.
Path of exile charges for inventory QoL and with the ludicrous amount of different stuff that drops, it’s arguably kind of mandatory if you’re trying to complete seasonal objectives
For PoE you consider 30gb installed (on PS5 mind you) a large file size? Yes it has mtx, but it is not once pushed or advertised to you, and none of it is required for anything. They does improve the QoL of the game however.
CoD + WZ is around 240gb I think. Most modern AAA games are usually 90gb minimum.
Some years ago they pretty much rewrote the entire base game code (or some parts of it) and tidied it up, reducing the overall size. It may be larger installed on PC (I’m on PS5) but I can’t imagine there being too much of a difference.
The MTX for PoE are within the “nice” ones. There’s extra stash tabs, but you don’t need to consider that until after the campaign. And then there’s cosmetics. No pay to win. And the MTX are on your account, so they will be on PoE2 as well.
I tried a couple of demos from Steam Next fest. Without writing up an essay:
Aden: Quirky game with reasonably difficult combat (when played in hard), cool music, and a story I ended up being surprisingly interested in. I was in it for the unique aesthetics and vibes and ended up being invested in whatever was happening.
Until Then: Lovely little visual novel set in the Phillipines (which I love, as most games centered around Asian culture tend to be Japanese or Chinese focused). The dialogue is fun, the pixel art presentation is incredibly good and even has some beautiful animated scenes, and there's enough intrigue and curiosity that really piques my interest in terms of the setting. It's modern day, set about a decade ago, but with a twist of paranormal worldwide happenings in an otherwise normal world.
I’ve been really enjoying racing in Automobilista 2 with several friends recently. A bunch of us went from using a controller to having a wheel and often a wheel stand in a short period of time, because we all got so into it.
I think there is a lot going for AMS2 (as it is commonly abbreviated): lots of variety in the cars and tracks, it is easy to set up casual races with friends, it is very dynamic (like in varying track and weather conditions), works well with a controller or a wheel, looks good and performs well, etc.
Mi też, ale już tak wiele razy się zdziwiłem (np. W Polsce biedniejsi płaca niższe podatki niż bogaci), ze teraz mnie dziwi chyba już tylko to, ze mnie nic nie dziwi.
Chwilę później Mazurek mówi: „… Warszawa płaci 1,4mld Janosikowego, ale jednocześnie co roku dostaje pieniądze i na przykład w roku 2024 ma dostać 5mld., co oznacza, że mniej więcej jakieś 3,5, nawet ponad, miliarda złotych, dostaje netto, to po grzyba płacić, żeby zaraz potem te pieniądze wracały, bo… No nie prościej byłoby zostawić janosikowe w Warszawie?”.
W sumie to brzmi trochę jak (celowa bądź nie, ale zakładam, ze jak najbardziej możliwe, ze tak) manipulacja - i to udana. Bo trochę zabrzmiało, jakby janosikowe nie miało sensu - czyli takie dość typowe libkowe podważanie sensu płacenia podatków do wspólnej puli przez najbogatszych. Szkoda, ze rozmówca nie powiedział wprost czegoś w stylu „Myli pan pojęcia i proszę nie wprowadzać słuchaczowi w błąd. Warszawa płaci 1,5 mld janosikowego, a dostaje…” .
A skąd później Warszawa dostaje, co miał na myśli ten fan Balcerowicza (czyt. Mazurek)? Czy chodzi po prostu o pieniądze z budżetu państwa? Jeśli tak, to faktycznie to brzmi, jakby za bardzo nie miało sensu.
Możliwe, że dostaje proporcjonalnie dotacje tak jak wszystkie miasta, a janosikowe jest mechnizmem, który to wyrównuje i jakoś robić to trzeba. Ale nie mam teraz sił ustalać co autor miał na myśli, szczególnie, że pewnie faktycznie nic mądrego.
Just started up Cyberpunk 2077, which I’m really enjoying so far! I’m playing it on Steam Deck, so some of the UI elements are really teeny-tiny, which is probably my biggest complaint.
I gave some attention to World of Warcraft Classic - Season of Discovery. It is certainly enjoyable to have a lively world with plenty of people interacting everywhere, but the nuts and bolts of Vanilla are largely the same. The slow leveling, the 1-hour cooldown for my Hearthstone (the item that takes me back to the Innkeeper I set), the fact that I must be physically at the dungeon location to enter an instance, and the demands for being highly social for a bunch of basic stuff feel exhausting. A lot of time I need people for group quests and runes, and the mere thought of talking to strangers is discouraging. I realized that, while I enjoy social interaction, that is not necessarily true for the majority of my playtime. Classic Wrath always feels like a good compromise for me – it is still Classic and the open world is still relevant, but it has a lot of QOL that makes it manageable for me. The Hearthstone cooldown is 30 minutes, I get my first mount at level 20 instead of 40, and the Random Dungeon Finder puts me in an instance automatically. Granted, there’s not a lot of people on Wrath right now, but I still enjoy leveling my character, leveling mining, getting ready for Cataclysm, and making money on the auction house. I found a nice wholesome guild, but it seems that most people are just playing SoD.
Short, but fun. Sometimes a little frustrating, but I’ve played too many games recently which either take themselves too seriously or randomly try to hit “poignant” emotional beats.
This is just straight up swashbuckling cartoony fun that I totally need right now.
Guild Wars for some nostalgia and Baldur’s Gate 3 (second playthrough).
I plan to start WH40k Rogue Trader when I’m done with BG3…so that could take a few weeks still :D
Obczaj sobie stronę nlnet.nl - jest tam wiele projektów FOSS do których możesz uderzyć a nawet możesz zaaplikować o granty w wysokości od 5kEuro do 50kEuro na rozwój takiego opgrogramowania z zastrzeżeniem, że pojedynczy aplikant nie może podczas trwania programu uzyskać więcej niz 500kEuro w tych grantach.
Dzięki, wiem o NGI0 i mam w planach sięgnąć po grant, ale najpierw chcę wiedzieć jaki projekt może tego potrzebować. Dotychczas dzień że na NLNet są głównie projekty już wspierane grantami, ale sprawdzę dokładniej.
