I haven’t played many of the indie games on the list, but I’m glad to see Sea of Stars get some love. It’s probably the best game I’ve played in the last year

This was exactly what I was thinking. I remember trying to run it on my GTX 970 and it definitely struggled in places. Expecting this to be 30fps max with low graphics on the Switch.
This is really a shame. Insurgency is one of the best FPS games I’ve ever played
Developers don’t use early access to get feedback on lore, world-building and visual aesthetic. They get feedback on gameplay balance and bugs. A movie/TV studio doesn’t have gameplay, it’s all visual. Apples to oranges comparison
You’re just saying tea tea
I guess maybe some people want to get it without using Steam? But yeah this was my thought too lol
Translation: War. War never changes
Haven’t had a chance to play it yet, but besides the performance issues at launch this looked like a really enjoyable game. Maybe the main issue is that the genre is relatively niche? That coupled with the recent big releases
I’d everyone else died of old age and you are the last, would you still want to leave the earth better than you found it?
Yes. Humans are not the only thing existing on this planet, and I find it rather arrogant to treat it this way. If I’m alone staring down the heat death of our universe? Well it doesn’t quite matter anymore.
Would you take comfort in or be indifferent to the happiness you brought
Absolutely. This is probably more nurture vs nature though. I’m very much an atheist but was raised in a strong Christian household. I’ve shunned the religious aspect, but “Love your neighbor as yourself” is pretty much ingrained in my DNA at this point. I find happiness in bringing it to others.
As for ideas of good and better, of course they are my own opinions and based on experiences of others. There is no objective “good” and “better”, because there is no objectively true meaning to life. For me personally, doing what makes me happy would include eating good food, drinking good whiskey and listening to punk rock. Those are not objectively good, but they are good to me. I will share them with likeminded people, and I will find other ways to better my neighbors’ lives.
This is quite the existential question! Of course, there’s really no “right” or “wrong” answer, and there are so many different ideas on what the meaning of life is.
My opinion? There isn’t one. The fact we exist at all is a wildly random event, and the fact we are conscious of it even more so. Life is meaningless, so we create our own meaning. For me, the meaning of life is to strive for happiness (not BE happy, we can’t be happy 100% of the time), bring happiness to those around me, and leave the world better than I came into it. I don’t give a shit about legacy, since I won’t be around to enjoy it. The only legacy I care about is that I made life better for the people I love.
Treat others with kindness, be mindful of the world you live in, and do more of what makes you happy.
This thread is for UNHELPFUL advice. This right here is the best advice anyone has ever offered
3060ti often outperforms the 4060. Honesty, with 40xx series prices and mediocre performance, I would be on the hunt for a used 3080/3090. Short/no warranty is a downside, but personally I feel the cost difference makes up for it. That being said, I have a 3060ti and have no problem with playing at 1440p. I hit max refresh target rate in my competitive games and can accept lower frame rates on single player or less competitive MP games
A friend messaged me on Steam at like midnight last night telling me to pick it up. I don’t love the aesthetic but everyone is saying it’s pretty incredible. From what I have seen, movement looks really good, which is a big deal for me in FPS games. Figured I’ll jump on the bandwagon as well while the player count is still high
Niche communities will organically begin to congregate in one or two places in the fediverse over time. It won’t happen instantly. The same thing happened over at Reddit, but they’ve had almost 2 decades for it to happen, and communities are still fragmented there. Just look at r/gaming, r/games, r/pcgaming, etc. It’s no different on the fediverse, the only difference is that these communities might share a name. So instead of having r/gaming and r/games, you have two communities both named c/gaming.
For now, what I do is search for the community I’m interested (i.e. Linux in your example), take a look at the number of users subscribed to each option and pick the largest one as my main source. If I find the quality of that community to be lacking, I check out the other ones as well.
Fall Out Boy also changed pretty significantly around the same time as PATD. I think as they got a larger following they just followed the money. Hard to blame them for it, but they’re first 3 albums are so much better than the later stuff. I’ll absolutely still listen to it, though
On the flip side, kbin users CAN follow other users. Kbin has a feed like Lemmy, but also the “microblog” which is basically tweets. You can link the microblog to Mastodon servers and follow and interact with users from that platform as well. Mastodon, Lemmy and kbin are all different technologies that are allowed to interact with each other, and we as users get to pick the ones that best fit our needs. It really is an amazing concept
Custom firmware like tomato or ddwrt can be fun to just play around with and learn more about networking. I used my old router temporarily as both a wifi repeater and as a wifi receiver using custom firmware. I didn’t need it for any particular function, but it was fun to experiment with
I enjoyed my time in Splitgate, but after playing games like Insurgency and CSGO I have a really hard time with shooters having long TTK (fell off of Halo Infinite really quick for the same reason). I grew up playing Quake 2 so the idea of having to drop a full magazine to kill someone is frustrating to me
And concerning Spotify: I read they pay an artist at most a third of a cent per streamed song. I think they’re ripping off the artists.
While Spotify doesn’t make artists much money at all, I think the focus should really be on the record labels. Labels are dinosaurs and really have no business being so prolific in today’s music industry. If I had to choose between waging war on Spotify or labels, I’d be coming for the labels first.
