No more bugs than RDR2 at this point. Characters will still do silly animations once in a while but that’s pretty much unavoidable in big games, I feel.

Definitely play it. It was one of my top games of 2023 when I played it. I didn’t want it to end once I’d beaten it


I would say it’s reasonably difficult. I haven’t beaten the 100 levels yet, I’ve only gotten up to 50, but it may be that the developer expects you to unlock more permanent unlocks before you can fully beat the game

But there are times when a boss gives you quite the bullet storm so it may be difficult if you aren’t coordinated


I've become an evangelist for this game in the 24 hours since I learned about it. The fact that this two year old game only has 66 reviews on Steam is criminal. I think it is so much better than that I first saw the game while watching Ludwig's ["rating games that wanted to sponsor me"](https://piped.video/watch?v=J62FYosjFIs) video, and I was immediately smitten by the concept of the rotating cards. It's similar to a deck builder in many ways but the order of the cards in the deck is predictable and adjustable and it is slightly more fast-paced than Brotato or Vampire Survivors. The game isn't perfect, it seems like the developer used whatever means necessary to try and market it, including referral codes and asking to sponsor Ludwig, but it hasn't seemed to work. Which is almost a shame because the game deserves to be seen. So give it a try, it's worth every penny, and then come back and tell me what you think

Oh nice! I’ve kept the Xbox game bar running so that I can make these clips so it will be nice to ditch that bloated mess - no need for two overlays


Just added this to my browser this morning, coincidentally! Not sure what thread it was, but I thought it was this one. Thanks for the link though, it’ll be a big help


Thank you very much! I wasn’t aware of these guidelines so it’s interesting to read

I think the notability is a little hard to define, so I could see some discussion happening, especially about more minute details like individual items in games. But it seems like, based on the existence of a Krillin page, that there is at least some precedent for somewhat broader topics


I see what you’re saying, but also I don’t think those analogies are necessarily fair. I don’t think putting Yoshi’s birthday on Wikipedia instead of Yoshipedia is quite as critical as a central bank failure

We’re on Lemmy, which is an aggregation source just like Wikipedia. Some knowledge is only stored here, while other knowledge is an external link. It’s not a bad thing to be a central point of information as long as it is a community-driven process with high levels of transparency, like Wikipedia.

Lemmy, however, works differently from Wikipedia or Reddit in that multiple services work together to be that aggregation source, which is great, and Wikipedia doesn’t have that, which is not great. So that of course could be better in an ideal world, and I would bet there is a federated Wiki service already out there

But, I’m not talking about life changing information here, I’m talking about what happened to Krillin in episode 700 of Dragon Ball Super, I think it’s okay if that information lives in one central location - especially since you can always just watch the episode again to verify


Do you happen to know where in the rules it would list the “level of relevance”. I did a cursory read through of the content guidelines but I didn’t see anything that would necessarily exclude descriptions of specific video game content, levels, or assets, but I’m no master at Wikipedia - I can’t say I’ve contributed much beyond donations.

Also I did mention those unique features some wikis have. For example, the Old School RuneScape Wiki has some really great calculators, maps, and data collectors, so I’m very happy with those. But for less popular ones where nobody is putting in the work to make the wiki exemplary feels like we may as well save time and not give Fandom money by using Wikipedia

And look and feel I would say is good unless it’s a fandom, and then all the look and feel in the world doesn’t justify those ads


One thing that recently had me pondering was why do we need separate wikis, why not just add the information to Wikipedia? Unless your wiki has some feature Wikipedia doesn’t support, it just seems to provide a background image and ads.

For example, I was looking up some Dragonball information, and their wiki was really sparse and didn’t answer my question. So I randomly tried Wikipedia and it had all my answers

My only guess is some Wikipedia usage rules that say not to but I find that unlikely


Just to clarify for people who may be confused like me: Humble Games is a game publisher and its closing will not affect the Humble Bundle


I was just thinking the other day how I’d love to “root” my TV like I used to root my phones. Maybe install some free OS instead


Arctis 7 was truly the best headset, I have three pairs at this point. None of them broken - all were purchased because the headset was so good I wanted one for the office and for my wife.

However, Steelseries seems deadset on making worse versions of the Arctis with every iteration. The 9 was altogether disappointing and they are really trying to force all the features like the chat mix into Sonar software instead. Really disappointing.


Added new Roshan ability Roar of Retribution. If attacked by the team that last killed him, Roshan will release a roar that is heard globally, damages all units in 900 AoE and applies a debuff on them that increases incoming damage by 25%. Triggers when Roshan’s health drops below 80%. Damage: 50. Damage Bonus per Minute: 10. Debuff Duration: 8s. Cooldown: 20s

This is the most interesting comeback mechanic I’ve seen. I’m not sure it will help much, but if someone is trying to sneak Roshan I can definitely see scenarios where it will come in big
