  • Does Lemmy even know what EEE means anymore or are we regurgitating words we heard from some article now?

    What’s it going to embrace and extend? WSL has existed for ages and is just a way to run Linux in a convenient container on top of Windows. That’s it. It’s not an attempt to “extenguish” Linux, literally just make the development experience on Windows less painful so people don’t switch to another OS. This has nothing to do with EEE.

    Open sourcing it with a permissive license can only be a good thing, and again they’re doing it to be more appealing to devs and maybe get free bug fixes from the open source community. It isn’t some grand conspiracy. But of course this community will react to news of “proprietary blob is now open source” with pessimism.

    Thank you. I think most communities need to enforce a rule like this because there are a lot of ridiculous people on the platform. I post a ton on /c/games and /c/movies and I’m still getting a lot of comments that are essentially whining about hating the company that made it or telling others to stop enjoying it. If you’re on a gaming community and aren’t here to talk about gaming, why ARE you here in the first place?

    Shoutout to a lot of times I post about a new game and get occasional comments similar to “Ew why would I buy a 70 euro game when I can wait 2 years to buy it at 15 euros”. adds absolutely nothing to the conversation. Also the occasional “is this post an ad???” comment for posting an article about upcoming games.

    This is my biggest complaint now that I’m farther along. There genuinely isn’t much reason to switch weapons, especially with ammo so easy to get just by spamming melee. Since you can just stand in front of everybody and parry, range doesn’t matter at all.

    Yes, it’s very fun. I’m not sure why you’re so pessimistic on it, it’s another good DOOM game and vast majority of reviewers never get paid to hype something up. I’m not too far in it yet but first impressions is that it’s closer to Doom 2016 than Eternal, there isn’t much platforming or acrobatics.

    The only thing I’m not sold on is the story. They added a lot of story and cutscenes. I have no idea what’s going on honestly. Feels a lot like they added too much Warhammer 40k to the Doom franchise.
