Can you tune volume settings per app? All the time im driving to a job with music playing and then Maps SCREAMS at me.


That’s a nice thought, and they should do that, but you’ve gotta do better at picking and choosing your moments



I get that too. There’s an anonymity that’s so bizarre. I was in Manhattan and quickly realized that im just a ghost, nobody looks at you unless they’re selling something. And it’s generally OK, I could identify solo women and minorities and all sorts of people clearly feeling perfectly secure in their day to day business.

It was fascinating. Kinda overwhelming, I’ve spent my whole life in the Southeast. But interesting.

Other than the chemical clean+terrible aftershave smell everywhere, I assume it’s a fad scent post-Covid but god it made me wanna hurl sometimes it was so strong.



Okay that’s fair. I don’t live in a city so I didn’t think about that, but when I visited NYC I was absolutely paranoid about having my phone out when walking around.


Why the fuck would I want a camera in my watch? Am I a spy? Like, that’s literally the only use I can think of, covertly photographing documents.


That’s pretty fuckin cool. I’m an electrician, I could absolutely use an extra thumb sometimes. By the time this stuff hits the market I intend to afford one lol. Robot digits and limbs! No surgery or wifi required!



Dictatorships be like that. You never hear about these problems with co-ops, just saying…


It’s such a damn shame, too. Destiny 2 was some of the most fun I’ve had in gaming over the last decade. Absolutely jaw-dropping environments at times, clever encounter designs, the gunplay, so many things to love. And I have no doubt Marathon will be a hell of a thing from what I’ve seen. These people can design a game.

But GODDAMN stop stealing art from people. Upper management has got to be atrocious with all the bullshit they’ve pulled over the years. And you know that bullshit starts at C-suite and rolls downhill.

Just a damn shame.


Oh yeah. They’ve got tons of weird organs thanks to the Emperor’s engineering. Most of them are normal super soldier stuff, improved blood clotting, that sort of thing. But they can also produce extremely acidic spit, which helps them break down materials for food in a pinch, or to be used as a weapon. They can also gain your knowledge by eating you. Genetic memory is a thing in 40k and Space Marines aren’t the only ones capable of getting at it - see: Kroot.

They can also survive space longer than humans, as one might expect from space-faring super soldiers. Uhhh, what else…

You should probably just read this https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Creation_of_a_Space_Marine


I need the Terraria BG music in Palworld, please let this be an option 🙏


Space Marines can survive off very little in the lore for surprisingly long periods. All that genetic engineering… somehow.

They can also gain memories from people they eat. And spit acid.


It’s a pretty good game to start with tbh. 40k is a crazy fun setting, if you like tactics games give Mechanicus a try. Till this game it definitely held the title for “dopest 40k soundtrack” imo


Commissar hat! Finally!

Now we can show you what it really means to be Free of Thought! Blessed is the mind too small to doubt! For the God-Emperor!



I’m pretty ambivalent, I’ve been pirating it every few years since the 90s. But it would be nice to see younger kids get excited about it.


Yeah, I’d be fine with that. Chrono Cross was great, I loved it.

Do either of those two, but not both pls


Yeah they can dress it up for sure but please leave the game the same as it’s been for 30 years




Neat! I’ll wishlist it but I doubt my PC can handle it worth a damn. Hopefully it comes to PS5 and my bros and I can start us a nice little commune!

A social-focused sandbox MMO could be a nice place to show anarchist concepts to people tbh


Nothing is too big to end. I’ve seen so many VOIP clients over the years and Discord is just another.

Software isn’t forever. Services come and go. Empires fall.

Regardless, the drive to switch is in selfhosting. If you want actual security and not to have to worry about a corporation handing their logs over to the Feds, Revolt is very appealing.


That’s fair. Like I said, I didn’t play very long so I’m happy to take your word for it.

Good to hear tho, thanks


Yeah it just seemed so different. I actually installed it recently and farted around for an hour or so (recently installed Linux on an old laptop and wanted to see how it’d do), I’m not really planning on going back. Think I already uninstalled. It seemed fun enough, I didn’t like hate it, but I’m not getting into an MMO right now.

Either way, I wanted GW1 and this was quite a departure. I really loved things like the low level cap that were out the window.


Man I LOVED GW1. Never really had much chance to play the second, sadly. I still think about playing my Necro in PVP and doing crazy endgame runs. Long time ago…



Oh okay! Thanks, that’s helpful. So EndeavorOS has pretty frequent updates then? I’m ngl since switching I look forward to them, which is funny! It’s like “oh cool my computer got better and also new toys instead of worse and more bloated!”

Ahh I should’ve done this years ago but better late than never



I went with Mint but I’m thinking about KDE (or maybe KDE flavored Arch? Idk I’m new) on my second computer. Pretty painless?


Someone go back and save Harambe already, this timeline is cooked



For sure. And I’d say most of us who like roguelikes and DRG both would just enjoy a good, faithful treatment of it that understands the genre. I don’t expect innovation within a genre, I just want a solid implementation.


Honey let’s talk about you and your self-worth. You seem to have some stuff to unpack


An interview with MediaX president Nancy Poertner published in a 1999 issue of GameWeek described the game as an “interactive adventure game with role-playing elements” that combined “the detail of Riven” and “the real-time world of Quake.”

Ah, the 90s
