I can mow my lawn with less than 150 watt-hours. The fact that a 60 second conversation with ChatGPT can surpass that is alarming.

Counterpoint: you could not have TPM and secure boot requirements that needlessly alienates a large player base of Linux users.

In fact Gareth Coker’s soundtracks for Ori are so good, they are one of the few video game OSTs that I’ve bought on vinyl. That and Signals from the Outer Wilds.

Pure magic and they definitely helped make the games.

I adored Moss (mostly for its theme but also for the highly innovative gameplay) but I haven’t had a VR system in some time. This one might be first on my list to buy if I ever get into VR again.

Speaking as a player that doesn’t use proxies, if the people I play with suddenly all started to compete with stronger and stronger decks using proxied cards, I’d feel more likely to quit playing with them than try to keep up. Not everyone is looking for power.

I would say so. As long as you aren’t abusing the secondary market to proxy cards that are totally out of reach for your play group’s power level

How is this still alive?!

Because it’s fun to play? People buying and hoarding cards because of their monetary value is certainly something that happens, but this is first and foremost a game.

When Below Zero came out it was clear that they had no idea what made Subnautica special, something that a sequel had no hope of replicating. Fear of the unknown and the drive to explore deeper. Once you’ve completed Subnautica you are a god of the sea, and that knowledge and experience cannot be lost.

Mobius Digital was able to make a successful DLC for Outer Wilds because they understood what made their game work, which is the player’s own curiosity.

Daily reminder that Chris Sawyer coded Rollercoaster Tycoon by himself in x86 assembly. In a cave, with a box of scraps.

I don’t know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I much prefer the original N64 models and textures over the 3DS.

Maybe it’s just nostalgia but I feel like the 3DS graphics have aged much worse since it released.

Mobius was able to, not once, but twice in a row deliver a sublime lightning in a bottle experience. I have extremely high hopes for their next title.

You’re looking for vector graphics. You could try Asteroids or Lunar Lander.

Aliasing is a byproduct of trying to draw a curved line across square pixels. It’s a deficiency of raster graphics, not the fault of the game.

You change your mind often.

Full disclosure, I haven’t actually read the article but is it really a scandal? Just create a new speedrun category for preset seeded runs. The old record stays and people can now try to hunt for the most efficient seeds.

Having been able to dodge all spoilers before playing the final release version of Subnautica, I could not imagine subjecting myself to a playtest or early access of Subnautica 2. Below Zero may have been a disappointment but I’d rather take the chance of discovering that for myself than risk ruining what could be a once in a lifetime experience by trying to play it before it’s finished.

The future of gaming is spending thousands of dollars on a custom built 1 to 1 cockpit and then yet more thousands of dollars on a headset that cannot possibly properly track where the outline of the controls end and the room begins to project a 3-dimensional space without clipping and breaking immersion.

It’s still relying on your own environment and this is describing an extremely niche market.

Ok but how would projecting a detailed control system onto your desk be any better than a normal HMD that shows where your hands are in a completely virtual environment?

I don’t see how mixed reality could be gaming’s future when it relies on your own environment to project on to. Gaming is an escape from reality.

I mean, this episode shows shot after shot of expendable video game baddies having their torsos splayed open from neck to navel using power tools.

It’s sad but it’s true. Had the bundle been announced before launch, people would have been lining up to preorder.

Does the same thing on my local instance.

I’ve recently started using the archipelago randomizer mod to get another taste of replaying it, but unfortunately the satisfaction of completing a rando pales in comparison to that first experience.

I will never not recommend this game. It’s so good and I can’t wait to see what Mobius comes up with next.

If we’re following rediquette, (if such a thing still exists or can even be applied to Lemmy) downvotes shouldn’t be used on things you disagree with.

Did he create the models for his mod or were they imported from somewhere else?

Not excusing the fact that he included them but it would be slightly more forgivable if he used somebody else’s models and didn’t realize the amount of, uh, detail.

Or does it?

Matrix has the unfortunate problem right now where all the big clients have matrix.org set as the default homeserver. Yes, it is a decentralized and federated protocol, but I wonder how many users are registered on matrix.org vs other servers.

I gave up on Below Zero around the time you’re given the blueprints for the hover bike. I just could not get invested in whatever linear narrative they were trying to push, so I put the game down and haven’t touched it since.

It feels like the devs captured lightning in a bottle with the first game but couldn’t figure out what exactly made it so popular and fun to play. It certainly didn’t do them any favours when they got rid of their composer Simon Chylinski. His score was so important at setting the tone.

Subnautica is one of my favourite games of all time and it kills me to know that we won’t get another one like it.

Virtual mission?

I should see if my folks still have my old Gamecube sitting around somewhere gathering dust.

I always wait for vote sales. People preordering upvotes are crazy

But it could be so much more. People were so hyped for Horizons when we learned we’d finally be getting space legs but it just fell so flat on release.

Those Eelis videos gives me life. I went and watched the entire About Oliver play through after seeing the highlights.

Sometimes I feel a bit silly with how much and how often I recommend this game, but it truly is something special.

I got the soundtrack on vinyl just recently and listening to it is like microdosing the game.

I was probably well into fanboy status with Windows Phone. I wanted that to succeed so badly I also owned 4 different devices.

Does it really need new graphics and music? The old art style lends itself to being nearly timeless which you can’t say for the remake, and the music in my opinion is synonymous with the entire experience and shouldn’t be touched.

This is one of my favourite games of all time, so I guess if this gets more people to play it then it may be worthwhile

In fact, treat all video game releases this way.

If people stop preordering or buying on day one regardless of the quality of the product, maybe publishers will finally take notice and start pushing games that actually function.

I’m a bit torn. On the one hand, Subnautica is one of my favourite games of all time and suffers from not being entirely replayable, so another game in the series should be a no-brainer.

On the other hand, Below Zero was a major disappointment and I’m wondering if Unknown Worlds even understand what made the first game so special.
