That works out to 12 hours per day, Monday through Friday, which Brin calls the “sweet spot of productivity.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH get fucked, assclown. The sweet spot of productivity is 6h per day, tops.

Besides, “torture yourself 12h a day so we can be the first to bring AI overlords into our world” is less likely to entice the workforce than “we’ll suck 100ml of blood off all of you in order to keep my skin young”


Regarding Fable, get the original first (fable anniversary on steam). Since you’re big on JRPGs, you might want to check out Ys, Trails and FATE series. You will definitely want to check out Metaphor ReFantazio

You can also experiment some of the “only on PC” or “best on PC” games like Cities Skylines or Planet Coaster (try the 1st game for both) - neither has an available demo, but will definitely run on your computer. Wait for a sale, shouldn’t take too long. Factorio, on the other hand, has a demo that lets you experiment and get a good feel of what to expect of the rest of the game. If you’d like something comparatively simpler and better looking, try Satisfactory instead (no demo)

On the RTS front, you can actually play the first Starcraft 2 campaign for free, though you need Battle.Net instead of Steam. That game can be a good introduction to the genre and, if you enjoy it, I can point out some other games in the same vein.

A personal recommendation of mine is Palworld. I like the gameplay loop.

Also, please learn to use commas.

From the looks of one of the reviews, a 3-week long daily grind quest if you want to get the good stuff without paying. Plus “ACE” anti cheat which will remain installed after you uninstall the game and an overly long, forced tutorial.

Overall, possibly fun if you only intend to play it sporadically and don’t mind not having everything, or abandoning it within 1 or 2 months.


“Top metaverse creators”

You mean, fuckzuck’s metaverse or…?

top Roblox and Fortnite creators

Oh, those. Dunno how stuff is for fortnite creators, but roblox would probably get a much better deal than their current hamster wheel

It’s also super ironic that rockstar, who shutdown several GTA mods, is now looking into making their game “the place to make your mods EXPERIENCES”


Is there any minecraft clone that uses non-blocky character models? Or how would one go to mod Luanti to use different meshes for some of the characters?


My dummy’s perspective: titanfall parkour, minus titans, plus metroid prime ball rolling


Constellation 4K collection on Nexus so that’s around 200 mods

You mean this one? https://next.nexusmods.com/starfield/collections/npk3lv

I can’t login atm and while ublock can remove the login overlay, I can’t open the lists to see the proper list of mods and changes.


Maybe it works with shareholders, who seem to be as invested and interested in quality as EA CEO


Man, I gotta play the collections someday. I think I got all of them on GOG


I’m also on team HoMM5. Dark Messiah was tons of fun, kicking enemies off cliffs and using the ultimate telekinesis to gravity gun their asses away!



Kinda, but not quite. The main difference, imo, is that consoles have several anti-tampering measures in place, often as exclusive hardware, to ensure owners don’t jailbreak. The PC is, by design, open and “unsafe”, without measures to stop owners from doing whatever.


I thought the first gamergate was about gatekeeping women away from games games journalism. Imagine getting mad at trans people existing in a game where shapeshifting monsters and magic exist.


Please point out where I implied that corporations got greedy “only now”. Hint: i said “since forever”, the implication is that they were always shit. Then again, can’t expect much from you.


I’ve had plenty of experience with Dwarf Fortress, but never managed to fully weaponize magma before the FPS death killed my fortress. Using bridges to atom smash raids was always funny as hell.

I know Rimworld is a lot more expansive in some areas but, much like Factorio, is a game I’m avoiding because I don’t need yet another addiction 😅


ITT we can see hardcore gamurs that eat the shit from gamergate and gamergate 2: sweetbaby boogaloo without putting 2 and 2 together


Activision is a lefty company with a lefty culture. Dear fucking lord, that has to be one of the worst takes I’ve read on lemmy. What’s next, Mark Zuckerberg is a deep cover lefty librul?


Yea yea, it’s all sweetbaby and DEI fault and not corporations being greedy hellholes that only worry about quarterly profits since forever. /s


I like systems that allow for outrageous combos, whether unintentionally or by design. Roguelikes and roguelites usually have them, but it’s almost entirely luck based. Dynasty Warriors 8 allows for plenty of OP combos if you manage the right weapon attributes. Skyrim and its broken as fuck perfectly balanced enchanting + alchemy (or Morrowind’s even more perfectly balanced permanent fortify attribute magic)


Amazing game. I finished it once, tried to finish a second time one or two months afterwards and I got stuck before getting the red cube upgrade. Felt like my success was a fluke


Diablo 1 and 2 for the simplest, RE4 for one that really takes your time


“Evil corporation owns the IP, so it’s not really dead”

Call the Star Wars fans, they’re gonna love this


very stable

We must have very different notions of what stability means. To me, anything that fluctuates more than 10% either up or down almost weekly is not stable.

theres 0 need for KYC

How does one exchange XMR for actual cash without going through an exchange company?




Something that doesn’t toast the earth and isn’t completely taken by scammers and all sorts would be much preferable


I need to get back on Rebel Galaxy, I think I got some 2 or 3 missions past reuniting with your aunt. The sound track is fucking amazing, though the gameplay being essentially naval battles in space really let me down at first, as I personally prefer 6 degrees of freedom, but the game does all things well.


True. It’s been number one requested game, but its copyright hell is among EA and Microsoft :(



I’d trade that update for one that fixed the jank combat. I will continue to complain about the gun being auto-holstered after 2 seconds without firing as one of the worst parts of combat, so “line your shot” is a terrible strategy because by the time it’s lined, you’ll miss due to the animation creating a 1s lag between click and shot.

The almost random targeting of what you’ll interact with when holding E is another big annoyance.

Capital ships are a total letdown, too. All they do is sit around motionless in space. Can’t destroy anything bigger than a fighter.


Depends on what you want out of the game. Freelancer is old, but it’s still one of the best experiences you can get. If you really want to feel like a nobody pilot going from rags to riches, X4 or Elite: Dangerous can scratch itch, but both have considerable learning curves, with X4 allowing you to own space stations and pilot anything from fighters to frigates.


Battlestar Galactica boardgame. It’s mostly cooperative, with the chance of having one or two players being traitors, but even without them, it’s very unlikely the humans win in the end. It’s expensive and needs a lot of table space to play, tho.

Captain Sonar can be an interesting choice, since it can be played turn-by-turn or in real time, with two teams of 1-4 each. If you working with your team doesn’t create a sense of connection, I don’t know what will.


2 has very interesting character development and interaction, but I agree that the final boss is a fucking joke, both as a fight and as something within the lore. Those collector praetors were much harder for me to deal with, the fuckers would easily kill off my team and fully restore barrier as soon as I started hitting its actual health


They move in realtime, but they finish a meal in 10 seconds. Bathroom breaks and baths also take ~10 seconds. Not to mention that clothes changing is a single spinning jump. Wish it was that easy in real life



I’m with you there. 2016 has a much better pacing and general feel. While both kinda feel like serious Sam, moving from one enemy arena to another, Eternal has a much stronger feeling that that’s all you’re doing. I also disliked the super limited ammo and being semi forced to change weapons for each enemy. All the parkouring and bar swinging didn’t feel like it added “good variety” to the gameplay


Probably for the better, though the general spacesuits as armor theme doesn’t make the slightest bit of sense either.

I really wish one of the devs would come out and talk why they a-ok’d the RNG to be a single pass with nothing between POIs - also generated without a single thought about anything since, to me, that’s the third biggest letdown of the game (the first is the universe/setting, the second is the main story, )



Frankly, I’ve never touched the online part in GTA5 but I hear it’s quite successful.

The microtransactions kept a very steady flow of hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter to Rockstar, so yeah, it’s absurdly successful


YSK: There’s a site that lists delisted games
The site also has pages for keeping track of what has been delisted from specific vendors, such as Steam, Epic or GOG for PC

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/1438545 > A bit late on the announcement, but for those interested, it looks like Warpath is being reworked into becoming a competitor to Epic 40k. A very rough draft of the rules is available for download in their blog post as well.

Is there a scene/community of “boot into game” for current CPUs?
I'm looking up for communities or scenes whose purpose is making games that you play from bootup. Not necessarily boot sector games (stuff that has to fit in 512 bytes), but things that would behave much like cartridges in old consoles, where the hardware boots straight into the game. Put another way, games that "are the OS", either for x86 or ARM. My search engine-fu didn't manage to find anything other than boot sector games and several Batocera guides.
