Any comparison is meaningless because for every bad thing you say, people will jump at you with the classic ol' "its still in development".

The fact is that it's buggy, crashes all the time and you lose progress, it can't be played like any actual existing MMO - it's a demo atm even if you ignore the common resets they do officially on major releases. Until it's actually released and can be decently reviewed from start to finish it can't even start to compare to an actual released, playable game.

Lorca got me through discovery for a season or two and then he was gone, I don't think I watched anything beyond it. I hear it's only gotten worse, somehow

Damn, thinking about the msn messenger brings me back to such simpler and happier times

Same experience here, it's a fun and entertaining movie. FR is still better but that is a perfect movie IMHO, it'd be next to impossible to match or beat it in any way

Yeah, there hasn't been a lot of innovation in the genre and what we have is often a buggy mess - that definitely doesn't help the adoption of 'deep strategy'. I love games like what you mentioned but even I get sick of them when I start running into AI or optimization issues, where games devolve into snowballing or boring tedium after the first few hours, when the UI is a frustrating mess that makes me hate every second spent on trying to make it work the way I need it to work.

Or maybe I'm just spoiled by the amount of polish and thought that goes into games like factorio or against the storm.

Amazing and beautiful game, the only issue I have with endless * series is that the combat always falls short for me, but you can still easily get a few dozen fun hours out of it.

That's a very naive perspective though. We're not blaming the guns for gun violence, it's the people, but restricting access to guns is still the proven way to reduce gun incidents. One day when everyone is enlightened enough to not need such restrictions then we can lift them but we're very far from that point, and the same goes for tools like "AI".

Oh absolutely, it's a shame but long gone are the days of having access to like 3 games in total and having to play them all the time as a kid. Nowadays if there's isn't something new in the game every few months it just disappears from my mind - there's always something else, newer and better, to take that space instead, for better or for worse. I enjoy helldivers but after 80ish hours of repetitive missions, I need new toys to make it interesting.

For me personally it's not Sony as much as how grindy the game feels. Requisition credits and most samples are just going to waste, xp is kinda meaningless so the only thing I'm getting are extremely small amounts of medals and SCs which just feels bad.

I really like this game! Wish it had more pve content, as it seems it's very dependant on pvp interactions to spice up the late game, but even without that the exploration, combat and gear progression is really fun and engaging. The game also looks great and feels really good to play, neat UI and controls for both combat and building.

Basically, if it were primarily a pve sandbox game with AI to fight it'd be my dream game!

I'm looking for advice on how to get started with a NAS, probably Synology since it's beginner friendly and often well recommended. I'm thinking of a 2 bay case with 2x4TB HDDs in RAID1 setup. What do I have to look out for in a device to get the best bang for my bucks?

My use case:

I have various documents, software projects, family pictures, videos that I want to store on something more reliable than a bunch of internal/external HDDs or USB sticks. I have a full *arr stack and jellyfin but I want to move these to my "server" laptop and docker once NAS is setup, and then host the files on it. For projects I might want to self-host gitea down the line.

Some more specific questions:

  1. if I go with a 2 bay NAS case, can i also connect my old external drive to it as a separate drive, can they handle USB3 drives? Will it require reformatting since it was used on windows so far?
  2. are there any issues with connecting docker ~~drives~~ volumes to a NAS?
  3. noise issues - does the NAS itself make a noticeable amount of noise or is it just the drives?
  4. whats the life expectancy of a NAS? if it dies, can I just plug the drives into a new one?
  5. does syncthing work well with a NAS or is there a better way of syncing local files to the NAS for backup?

Sorry for the question dump, just wanted to cover as many possible issues as possible 😅

 

Seems similar to Valheim in many ways, although I'm personally wary of the early access tag this time around, and lack of any mod support (and it seems to be made on a custom engine so there won't be a bepinex workaround like for vh)

 

I like browsing through my activity page but it's really bad to navigate. Blog posts don't have a max height and some devs write novels in them, the entries can't be sorted, filtered or searched, the horizontal screen space is vastly underutilized, etc...

I was wondering if anyone ever tried to fix or improve it?

 

I know that for data storage the best bet is a NAS and RAID1 or something in that vein, but what about all the docker containers you are running, carefully configured services on your rpi, installed *arr services on your PC, etc.?

Do you have a simple way to automate backups and re-installs of these as well or are you just resigned to having to eventually reconfigure them all when the SD card fails, your OS needs a reinstall or the disk dies?

 

Summarizing his statement wouldn't do it justice so I recommend you read it in full, he explains why he does it and what has DC done to anger him to this extent - but it's also a move about more than just to spite DC.

I dunno if you've noticed but federation between kbin and lemmy is shaky at best. By doing even a quick comparison between some original instances and their kbin pages, it is easy to see that comments and sometimes entire threads do not get synced and are practically invisible to the other side.

Has there been any official acknowledgement of this issue, an analysis done on what % of content gets lost due to these syncing errors or anything of the sort? Are these failed syncs being logged somewhere and will there be a way to retry them a later point perhaps?

I understand that we had a lot of issues in the first month after the reddit exodus and I understand this is still immature software in active development, but the traffic must have stabilized by now and I feel like just losing data like this should be the first thing to get fixed if we want to have actual faith in a federation. If we're supposed to have different accounts for every instance in order to actually reliably get the content from there, then that kinda defeats the purpose of it after all.

 

The time has come for all those who have stocked up on gold from troll caves and fuling villages! Said gold is the prime currency in the world of Valheim after all, and there's a new vendor in the tenth realm where you can spend your riches.

 

I've been keeping my eye on these games but can't really decide on what to pull the trigger. Alternatively if you have a better suggestion I'm open to it as well!

I play all kinds of games but I do get bored with them if they are tedious or grindy, would prefer meaningful satisfying progression over just number increases for example.

Wasteland 3 seems tempting as a Fallout + XCOM combination but I don't know if it's gonna get as good as either because of it, and I don't wanna get bored with it half way through. I still have PF:WOTR in my backlog because it got a bit too much in later acts.

DSP / AoD:FS / CW3:AE seem like something I might like since I usually like basebuilders and city builders like factorio / against the storm / vrising / riftbreaker.

Chrono Trigger and Bloodstained are not usually my cup of tea but they seem universally loved and they could be a good chill steam deck games.

In short:

  • Kullervo overguard buffs
  • Rauta buffs
  • Duviri "Power Lines" objective made easier
  • various fixes
 

In this 2023 Level Design Summit talk, gain an overview of the design intentions behind the levels in the game, and look at how these intentions did not always fully receive the anticipated reception by players. It will elaborate on what the team was able to learn from this and, finally, how these lessons were turned into principles and techniques that can be applied by level designers to make those branching paths feel more rewarding and special, while still keeping things production-friendly.

 

Considering Gram is dealing overwhelmingly slash damage as base I thought Buzz Kill's +120% slash damage would be a slam dunk on it, yet none of the popular builds use that mod.

Does this have something to do with how damage is calculated that I'm missing or are physical damage increase mods just always a bad idea?
