  • I would not have cared at all for this game if it wasn’t made by the studio that made it. This is not a game that sounds, or looks, fun, at all, to me. But I did decide to play it for the Server Slam play test weekend. It was free, after all. And boy have I ever been hooked. I was immediately addicted, with no way of indulging in it for two weeks after the test weekend, until launch. It has no right being fun, but somehow, it is. To me, at least. Other people say its EFT, but without the frustration, and less gritty. I can’t judge that, because I have not played EFT, precisely because of that. Since launch, I have basically been unable to do much else than playing this game. It’s not often this happens with a multi player game, for me. The only multiplayer game that possibly came close to that level of addiction was Overwatch when it launched. About the time requirement: yes progression can take long, if you do it at the same time everyone else does, and don’t get help online or from more experienced players. But on the flip side, there is always something to do. I’m not into sandbox games, and I would probably get bored fast without this. Plus in my book its a win to have a long story, rather than a short one. But only if its not grindy. And it somehow isn’t. Btw. the developers say there will be no mandatory wipes, so you can progress in you own time if you wish to. About the world building: astonishing. About the NPC enemies: I would go as far as say groundbreaking. If I understood that right, their behavior is not scripted, but trained via reinforcement learning. And it shows. They look, behave and feel extremely natural and believable. Dare I say smart, even. And no matter how far you progress, they will always pose a significant threat, and that’s not because they get stronger as you do. (They don’t.) And yet at the same time it is a viable strategy to go in with absolutely no gear or upgrades.

    Long story short: I like it even though it doesn’t appear like my type of game. As for you: If you buy it in steam, you can always try it for two hours and return it if you don’t like it.


  • Korrekt, aber hier wird halt (stellenweise) bewusst ohne interpolation animiert, um den klassischen/ruckeligen look zu erhalten. An manchen wenigen Stellen geht das auch gar nicht. An einigen anderen sieht es tatsächlich aus als wäre interpoliert worden, aber bewusst die Frame Rate niedrig gehalten, das dann tatsächlich ausschließlich für den Look. Beispielsweise die Stelle in dem verlinkten Musikvideo wo sie im Stadion stehen und die Kamera um sie rum fährt. Da ändert sich der Blickwinkel aufs Stadion jeden Frame, auf die Hauptfiguren aber nur jeden zweiten, und das, obwohl sie ja auf der Bühne desselben Stadions stehen. Einen Moment später steigt die Eine in diesen Ring und schwingt durch die Gegend. Teilweise flüssig, teilweise ruckelig, je nach Kameraeinstellung. Andere Szenen wechseln in der Bewegung zwischen beidem, je nach Geschwindigkeit der Bewegung, um die Klarheit nicht zu verlieren oder die Geschwindigkeit besser zu vermitteln.

    Zusammenfassend kann man also sagen: Alles bewusste künstlerische Entscheidungen.





  • Well the image is based on fedora linux and the tooling was developed by fedora, I believe. I put Aurora Linux on my dad’s aging PC around christmas, because it doesn’t qualify for Windows 11 and 10 ends support soon. In my experience it boots pretty slowly on physical machines (with n=2, fine on VMs though), and it doesn’t reliably wake from suspend, but other that that, it’s completely fine. I did not try to install any other Linux for comparison though

    It also means updates are just full system images, so no way for a package manager or differential update to mess anything up. It also means no way of downloading tiny differential updates (if I understand everything correctly).

    If you don’t need DX or would like to switch off of KDE, there are other fedora atomic desktop based distributions available.

    Oh right, a distribution is just an image, so switching distributions is as simple as switching the base OS image and rebooting.
