My biggest issues were that the world building felt so lazy, in that every faction essentially boiled down to Space America in various aspects. You got the Space American Liberal Authoritarian State, you got the Space American Cowboys, the Space American Technocrats, and the Space American Religious Fundamentalists. I found all of these factions kinda repugnant for one reason or another, and uninspired to boot, and so I never felt a pull to experience the world on a deeper level once I had gotten tired of the regular gameplay.

No love for GNOME these days smh

I’m really keen on one of these displays eventually, as I can set aside the issues with refresh rate and colour accuracy, but the price needs to drop way down. It needs to be competitive with regular LCD monitors.

I look at terminals all day for work, this would make it so much more comfortable.

Excellent read. Makes me wonder of the forgotten or underappreciated place of games that are meant to only take a few hours and then exit your life forever: games like Journey and others that take only a few hours to beat. They’re completely antithetical to this style of design.

I finally switched when I moved from Arch to Fedora and it’s worked fantastically for me. This is where the Linux desktop is heading now for sure.

People Make Games did a much better job on reporting the issues with Roblox.

I think the real issue is how Roblox takes advantage of kids lack of knowledge about microtransactions and FOMO to create a generation of free-to-play dupes while also exploiting anyone that makes content for them, but that’s just my opinion.

Him as Harry Mudd would be fantastic, I could also see him as a good Klingon sometime.

I’ve got the exact same problem lol

Doesn’t surprise me at all after seeing the same thing done with Minecraft, but it’s still vaguely nightmarish experiencing gameplay elements morph in and out of existence, the level geometry changing after you look too far one way or another. Like a dream more than a game. A dream where you can die.

Really wild to go from this vibe at the end of the seventh generation of consoles to the one we’re at now. For me, and many other people that like high quality gaming experiences, mobile games have completely vanished.

Damn the reddit energy is crazy in this thread

The Switch 2 footage of Elden Ring did look better than what I can get out of my Steam Deck. I wouldn’t be surprised if it has a performance advantage (perhaps thanks to native DLSS and frame generation) for the next year or two.

Just a heads up that this event has been pushed back to a future date.

The Kobo is great. Very moddable, you can set it up in sideload mode so you never even need to register for an account, just move files to it via USB.

A walking example of privilege

I think they’re okay. I like their video content.

Making a lot of clones of myself, raising them all differently, and seeing how many of them turn out in the same way as me.

Gallifrey Base, sometimes 😌🤓

really looks like more of a squircle
