- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 23 hours ago:
fair enough, it’s still in stark contrast to all of eternal’s exposition, which was pretty hard to watch (the Colosseum scenes especially).
That’s not to say the story isn’t good or interesting,
- Comment on Doom the dark ages... 2 days ago:
2016 had the perfect balance between story and gameplay to me, in that the player character expressed flagrant disregard for any narrative elements. This was doom 1 af.
Just keep moving and turn the bad guys into chunks. Need nothing more.
I fucking hated the loop in eternal. I get that the developers wanted you to play in a specific way, they partially achieved this through arbitrary mechanics like ammo scarcity. I can appreciate that it’s a good game, but I didn’t get on with it.
The art style went full Hollywood horror, and the exposition was kinda dialed up to eleven by contrast to its direct predecessor. Very much disliked that you couldn’t crouch (definitely more of a me issue, though I think sliding is a missed opportunity in Eternal’s movement repertoire).
2016’s PvP was imperfect but still fun and much appreciated. Snapmap was super underrated and has many sick community made levels.
The later games are a phenomenal technical showcase; the absolute posterchild for the Vulkan gfx API, but it’s not very ‘doom’ in spirit to me any more
- Comment on I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists? 1 month ago:
I see. Given the general reception of the 343 games, it’s a little surprising to see people ask for 5 in its entirety, though I will admit there were moments of fun to be had with H5f.
I’m not sure what fire team raven is, will need to look that one up.

they fully won’t but I’d like for you to be able to play once again if you enjoyed it way back when. Hell I think they even went to far as to detect a Linux host when running the game through a VM with Gfx pass through.

Given Activision’s track record, I wouldn’t count on it unless valve strongly intervene. Contemporaries like EA have even backtracked on Linux compat for anticheat.

Ah right. Appreciate the info!

Oh right. When I first heard about Lemmy, I tried to join .ml because it was the first instance I was made aware of. I think it was being rate limited at the time due to that whole reddit exodus thing, and I wasn’t able to get through, but. .world let me sign up so here I am.
I’d like to think that members of a given instance have their own opinions. It’s sad to hear about how territorial lemmy is.

I’m not familiar with the first subreddit, what was that about?
- Comment on hexbear.net comically loses its domain name 2 months ago:
Appreciate the explanation. I’ve seen some remarks about the instance on passing, I’ve just never paid close enough attention to how communities have interacted with each other in the past.

That’s on me. I come here for tech and cute stuff and it’s easy for me to miss announcements pinned at the top 😓

Sorry I’m not sure if it was reverted; I was completely unaware of it even being proposed.

That’s actually a sick idea. Does it not get a bit prickly though?
Most importantly what’s the pups name and why do they look all 🥺

Halo Reach was such an excellent send off. What a powerful soundtrack.
- Comment on Nvidia to ship a billion of RISC-V cores in 2024 6 months ago:
Absolutely. They’ve been getting really popular in wearables (particularly from Chinese brands).
Several SBC vendors are including rv clusters in ARM based SoCs (which I believe is partially related to what you mentioned) for development purposes.
I even have a little rv powered ssoldering iron 😊
- Comment on Nvidia to ship a billion of RISC-V cores in 2024 6 months ago:
same for and graphics since 2019. I wouldn’t be surprised if Intel were doing the same with Arc too, though I haven’t looked into that yet.

- Comment on 2024 is about 75% done. Let's recommend the best games of 2024, but with a twist: only the ones with no paid DLC! 7 months ago:
Echopoint Nova (Steam)
A short and sweet, low-fi yet beautiful co-op (and optionally PVP) movement shooter with extremely satisfying projectile mechanics, destructible environments and a gorgeous soundtrack by Floating Door. This is made by the same people behind Severed Steel.
Definitely not for everybody but there’s a demo (which can also be played in co-op) available on the store page.
