He did cysec shorts too? D:

I never did either, I just retroactively followed his WoW drama (after his SKG takes) while playing Motor Town.

The context from the quote (“Do you see my mana? What am I supposed to do for you?”) is that he was playing hardcore WoW with other youtubers and streamers, he got a lil’ afraid and ran away like a rat while pretending to help his team’s escape: he spammed sub-optimal spells, intentionally draining his mana, leading to the quote.

It’s a quote from one of his WoW moments

Do you see his credibility? What is he supposed to do for you?

For fellow lazies who don’t like when a third slice of fellow lazies don’t embed the image in the comment:

The more I learn about the development of the Bungie Halo games (and the history of Bungie themselves), the more I believe Halo came to be despite Microsoft

And now look at me, certain levels I can clear sub 6 minutes

yooo I foreshadowed that :D

I remember the Halo x Bonobo incident very clearly, the higher ups of that company are incredibly socially incompetent at best

How the hell did Pink get 5000 friendly fire damage against the team?!

Skill issue, I get something above 10000 occasionally >:D

Hellbombs are often the culprit, they do that kind of damage and can send those numbers up quickly even with the helldivers’ explosion damage resistance.
It only takes one.

Building not. Try building a nice house, but when you try to place blocks you get a burb of tiny blocks being strewn all over.

… so Vintage Story doesn’t exist, and neither does its axis-aligned voxel placement when chiseling?

Terraria is a completely different game

You can still build things in it, I don’t see how that’s relevant to the topic of 1m blocks being a hard requirement.

Also, for a 2D game, halving the block size means you quadruple the amount of blocks. For a 3D game it’s 8x.

You don’t need to divide voxels by powers of two, Terraria and Starbound have roughly 2x3 player hitboxes - which would translate to 2x3x2 hitboxes in 3D spaces.

[…] Or an RTS where units can freely move in 3D

Homeworld fans, back me up

You could also do a voxel game where mining and building is not extremely fiddly and nothing is much more laboursome than with 1m blocks.

Terraria, Starbound and many other similar games manage to do it in 2D by making you mine more than one block at a time, what makes it impossible in 3D spaces?

Best we can do is the insulting option to disable sprinting

delete everything except app data

You mentioned before that you’re on Linux, right?

If so, beware:
I haven’t bothered verifying this (because I try to keep “persistent” game data in my home dir and backed up), but as far as I know, deleting games that run through Proton also removes their data in the steamapps/compatdata directory - which almost always includes the data people usually say Steam doesn’t delete.

If you ever feel like you’re stupid, ignorant, absolutely microbe-brained, and that no one on this planet could possibly be more braincell starved than you:
remember that at least you don’t invest in the stock market for a living

More like 3.33$ (or 3.33€ in my case) plus fees, but agreed

Mindustry is straight up open source, it is available on github under the GNU GPL v3

EA has a bad reputation on Lemmy

EA has a bad reputation everywhere, and they mostly deserve it - even if you barely hear about said hatred anymore, because so many publishers and even a few indie devs managed to supersede their reputation.

I haven’t played it in a while (a decade, even), so I may be mistaken, but I know of Ghost 1.0.

(it’s definitely not “modern” though)

The Farmer Was Replaced — I got this game as a gift on Steam to a friend because they asked for a Python crash course recommendation, as I was assisting him with the learning process (considering that the game doesn’t use the real Python) I ended up playing it myself.
Some resources are surprisingly challenging to gather efficently, and my friend said that the in-game guide didn’t explain basic procedural programming concepts (paraphrased) well enough; he’s planning to start another run, with minimal assistance from me.

I’m not sure I should admit to such things on Lemmy, but I’ve also recently discovered the Peripeteia EA and I’ve played it a few times.

It’s… certainly a game, minus “certainly” — it’s full of bugs, the levels look unfinished (tbf, they are), the Funky Zone™ level is extremely hard if you don’t know the routes by heart, and its gameplay and aesthetics are an acquired taste.

I really enjoyed it (excluding the last currently available level), but I also really enjoy “games” such as X3 or Halo 2 on legendary so my enjoyment doesn’t really mean much.

Didn’t expect for Halo to stick with you this much… a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Hey, to be fair, if Helldivers 2 taught me something is that we’re all a complainy bunch

Following your logic and example, since we can’t individually do much for the homeless we should go around shelters and aggressively try to convince volunteers that destitute people are a lost cause.

It’s like at 40% of the story, but yeah, definitely the tower :c

It’s been ages since I played Iconoclasts but that place is THE place where I almost looked up some guide (or maybe I did, idr)

Let me guess, the tower?
I hate that place

(edit: MARKDOWN FUCKED UP THE SPOILERS, readers beware)

Robin from Iconoclasts:

• Pacifist until the end (depending on the definition of “end”), despite the game’s pixel aesthetic it tries to make it clear that murder is her last option;
• Altruistic, she goes out of her way to help people with complete disregard of her own safety;
• Doesn’t talk much;
• Kind hearted, doesn’t reject a well-intentioned yet spoiled acquaintance even though fucking up is his character arc and everyone hates him;
• Plot spoiler

  becomes friends with Jesus and goes with him back to heaven

• Ending spoiler

  fucking kills god, then fills Him with seeds (tbf all the poor guy did was pull up at the gas station and have strangers harass Him)

  • Plot spoiler

    she also fills Jesus’ mom with seeds, I’m beginning to think she has a thing for the clergy

As far as I’m aware GamePass is already Xbox+Windows exclusive because it uses the Microsoft Store on PC

Unfortunately that’s already happening, I know a few people that are hard to convince to play something that isn’t on GamePass — I never insisted, but it’s still a bummer that I need M$'s blessing to play with people I know, considering I don’t have an Xbox and cross-play games that we all like are hard to find.

I don’t know about mastering both, but Project Zomboid maybe?

It can be somewhat chill and even relaxing occasionally, but when it makes you anxious it makes you ANXIOUS (and queasy, eventually).

Cat’s got a point though, I didn’t know Atari was still around either

• Halo 2
• TLoZ:OoT
• Half Life

I can’t deny that nostalgia has to do with the first two fossils in the list, though I still maintain that I like them more than their latest counterparts in their franchises.
Not Half Life though: it was ~15 years old when I first played it, no nostalgia there.

Still, between the many games I would gladly build a monument to, those are games that I can play beginning to end without getting bored, annoyed or burnt out (as long as you allow me to use the Ship Of Harkinian randomizer for Z:OoT, otherwise replace that game with Perfect Dark ig).

90€ + 50€ • DLC? Isn’t that too little for the poor record-profit industry titans with budgets in the billions and nonsensical brand loyalty all over the world?

That’s why I recommended Dr. K’s take and Ross’, they didn’t lean into the drama.
Though, most of the critiques against Jason I’ve heard are sound; while it’s true that dramatubers search every nook and cranny of his past for slander, they find more stuff than any reasonably sympathetic person should have to be found.

The (alleged) swatting didn’t happen before “The End Of SKG”.
I also don’t think he deserves cancellation, but he has lied so many times, so confidently and so unrepentantly that he deservers very little credibility.

I understand that some people would feel sympathy for the somewhat excessive negative attention he got (not from me, he lost my sympathy the first time I saw him blatantly lying and lobbing insults) but with the way he ALWAYS behaved, he absolutely had some of it coming.

From the 5-10 min of his videos

There’s the problem: you won’t get evidence of a murder if you ask the murderer for it.
He streams a lot, so the things he says or does are spread out, especially if you’re only looking for noticeably damning stuff like the rim job related rant against SKG.

His confidence and speechcraft makes him very good at steering conversations by lying or deflecting, as long as you trust what he says.

Good places to start looking may be his conversation with Dr. K or Ross’ “The end of Stop Killing Games” on Youtube, both are hosted by level headed people;
I can only assume you haven’t seen the latter, because at the very least it makes it very apparent why people dislike him.

Some of them may be invalidated, keep dispensing them people!

I regularly hear similar things about refresh rates, like “once you try a 144hz monitor you can’t go back” — meanwhile, I power-limit my GPU to get ~50fps when the summer gets too hot

Nah, way too polite

Oh no I’ve spent at least 1000 hours on it, generally speaking the game is for me. I’ve just burned out and became familiar with what I consider to be its flaws.
