If you ranked games by revenue, none of these games would be on the list. Candy Crush and Clash of Clans would fire their CEO if their revenue was pathetic as Activision.

squaresinger,

If you ranked by budget, none of them would be on the list either. Monopoly Go would just take up rank 1-20.

Today’s game is Subnautica. After hearing the news about Krafton i was really disappointed. This was a big game to me when i was younger, and i’ve kind of been trying to figure out how to play this without budging on my morals. The answer seems kind of obvious, but it was hard to pull off for me for some reason.

I haven’t kept up with the news. What’s the issue?

Armok_the_bunny,

Krafton fired the creators to deny them a million-ish dollar bonus that was promised to them, then made a whole bunch of accusations against the creators to try to shift the blame.

wait tell me about bongo cat

BlindFrog,

It counts the keyboard taps & cursor clicks (optional) that you make, and your desktop pet cat taps whenever you type/click. As a reward for your tippity tappity productivity, you periodically get random cat costumes and skins. You can also buy/sell the costumes & reskins on the steam community marketplace.

It doesn’t work on Linux for me (mint btw), but I use it on my school laptop

I’m not sure how segregation/listening of inputs works between software in Linux, but if there’s a way around it to get bongo cat to work… 👉👈

yermaw,

That sounds suspiciously like the virus-riddled desktop buddies of the late 90s

@The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world avatar

Thanks! Would you say this is a “watch a video first” game? Or can you just jump into it?

catfeeder,

It’s pretty complex, especially if you never played another traditional roguelike before. There’s a tutorial which… I’m not fully fond of but it’s good enough. You can see all the controls by pressing ‘?’ at any time, and you can do everything with a mouse only (helpful at first!).

A video might help but keep in mind the game is fairly fast-moving (big updates roughly every half a year) so guides might be a bit outdated.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world avatar

I haven’t played any of the similar games I’m seeing listed alongside it, but I generally enjoy challenging roguelikes. I’ll just jump into it.

Not sure if this is the most current version, but I just installed what was in the flatpak repo.

catfeeder,

The current version is 0.33.1, the game’s title should display it

I randomly downloaded Subnautica when it was free on Epic for a bit and it became one of the best games I’ve ever experienced, it’s equally peaceful and scary and I had a lot of fun exploring the biomes and finding Easter eggs and getting grabbed by big red lol. Sad what happened with the company that made it, I didn’t like subzero as much, hopefully someday I come across another game that hooks me like this game did

14th_cylon,

yes, you are. we know, you already said that.

14th_cylon,

joke and sarcasm is unfortunately lost on dumbasses who can’t read more than 4 words of headline 🤷‍♂️

PapaStevesy,

My friend that’s a yt video, what the fuck are you on about?

14th_cylon,

well that’s the right burn, now you got me. because everyone knows there are no words in youtube videos, especially in song texts. 🤦‍♂️

PapaStevesy,

Ah yes, please read this video to me, don’t forget the headline 🙃🫠🤣🤪💩

14th_cylon,

the fact you probably truly believe you are delivering some burn is the sad part here.

as per your request, let me read the video to you (if you have trouble reading, you can always listen to itm but it still requires turning on your brain):

columbus saw the ocean
he sailed far and wide
just to get a cup of spices
from the other side
he knew he would die for sure
if he should reach the edge
but that’s okay cause long before
he’d starve to death instead

the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat

earth’s an oblate spheroid
revolving around the sun
spinning on its axis
which is tilted just for fun
that explains the seasons there
and the changing length of day
but here’s an inconvinient truth
you can’t explain that way

the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat

trump won re-election
he won it by a mile
only to protect us
from the socialist pedophiles
but biden wants the mail and ballots
counted and at what cost
he is so out of touch
he can’t admit when he has lost

the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat

endless interventions
never-ending war
all to please the oligarchs
and economic horse
but lower taxes on the rich
and do it really quick
my ship is coming in soon
and i don’t want to pay for it

the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat
the world is flat

PapaStevesy,

That’s not a headline.

azimir,

Would you like some sulfur to go with your pseudoscience, fascism, and stupidity?

14th_cylon,

would you like to learn to read and understand words?

14th_cylon, (edited )

here we are, in the the astronomy community, that should attract rather smarter people, but most of you are as lazy as average flat-earher and did not bother to even click the link before following in steps of the first downvoter. if that person jumped off the cliff, i am afraid most of you would follow, because it is easier than to use your own brain.

i made myself sad on new year.

(for the extra lazy ones who don’t have time to listen to the lyrics of his social commentary, he put that blackboard there with kepler’s 3rd law to give you hint he might not actually believe the earth is flat. but that would require using at least 10 of your brain cells. good luck next time when you complain about stupidity of the “other side”.

14th_cylon,

and from the native speakers, i’d like an opinion - is he singing oblate spheroid at the beginning of 3rd paragraph? or is he singing old blade, which is what i hear, and is it some strange poetic phrase?

It is “oblate spheroid.”

14th_cylon,

thank you

14th_cylon,

Soupbreaker,

Just in the interest of cheering you up a bit, I’d like to point out that many people simply refuse to click on YouTube links. Personally, I have no desire to engage with video content, especially when it’s shared with little to no context. It’s not out of laziness, but more out of a conviction that far too many people have outsourced their thinking to random vloggers, and believe that posting a link to their favorite video essay lends credibility to their argument.

14th_cylon,

believe that posting a link to their favorite video essay lends credibility to their argument.

unfortunately that is definitely a trend. but then you also have the person who grabs one rhyme out of context and comments it aged like a milk, meaning they did open the video, listened to it and absolutely did not understood.

i am also not going to watch every 60 minutes long video someone posts me in a discussion, but if i am invested in the discussion so much i care about answering or voting on something, i at least try to understand the concept of the video and what it is trying to say.

the headline in this case did not help, but i rarely see such an example of crowd behaviour concentrated in such short time as was the case with this link.

very_well_lost,

People aren’t lazy, we just all live in a social media landscape where, when someone posts a link with an intentionally provocative title, it’s rarely worth the effort to engage with it enough to find out if they’re being sarcastic or sincere.

Sometimes this means that well-meaning people get downvoted. Oh well. Learn to read the room.

SpiceDealer,

I’m pretty sure the inclusion of any equation should’ve been a dead giveaway.

neidu3,

Satire only works if it’s outlandish enough not to reflect a widely held belief, even if it’s a stupid one.

tate,
@tate@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I don’t think the flat Earth idea is nearly as widely believed as it appears. I think most of the proponents are just trolls.

pimento64,

I get that it’s satire, but that was an instant downvote the millisecond an acoustic guitar became visible.

I felt like Deltarune was a bit lacklustre compared to Undertale. Even though Undertale had very basic gameplay, it did a good job in implementing that. Deltarune feels too over the place. Undertale had a better story as well. Might just be me though. ​:ablobcatblink:​
