The campaign is long for what it is. The time travel adds absolutely nothing to the gameplay.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 6 hours ago:
Let’s take D4. For all its flaw, you can start a character without having to re-find all the Lilith statues and nothing is locked behind the campaign.
You venture out in hell tides or do a few dungeons to unlock some legendary aspect right off the bat.
This is what I want with Last Epoch. The campaign is essential because it unlocks totem slots and passive points. Taking an hour and a half of content (probably more if you don’t have as much experience as you) I don’t want to do just so I can start playing my character as I want is not fun.
I only have an hour a night max, every few other nights, so these 2-3 hours to “start” a character is 2-3 nights for me.
When a new season start in D4, I name my character, assign my 10 skill points and go do whatever I want. It it takes a min and I’m started and I don’t need prior equipment to do so.

I know that skip, but it’s not a real solution. Why is it a problem to let people enjoy the gameplay loop without forcing them to go through the pacing of the story?

I tried to use my phone without a cover, but it’s so thin that I don’t like the feeling. So I went back to my cover only for the added thickness.

PR speak need to die and anyone caught using it should be shamed into oblivion.
- Comment on Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition 1 day ago:
Last Epoch needs to let us skip the campaign once it has been done once.
I do not play these games for the dogshit story, I want to kill stuff and get new loot and the story gets in the way of that.
Same thing with PoE (haven’t tried PoE2). I don’t want to have to rush 5-6 hours on a new char just to get through the dog shit story.
Diablo 3 fixed that a decade ago. Shouldn’t be that fucking hard.

I totally agree with you then.

It is already just another work. Electronics and software development has never that accessible before.
Grandma can pick up an Arduino, a few components and create a fully automated garden if she so choose, without having prior experience.

Engineers are people like everyone else and some people have no qualms fucking over other people for money.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 1 week ago:
I wish my clients would understand that, and my code is a lot simpler than a video game.

I do that, but I add a bit of maple syrup as well. I like my vinaigrettes more acidic, so I usually put more vinegar than oil.

If it catches on, these seats will be the base price and seated places will become premium. It will impact everyone that travels by plane.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but since you are working on the product itself, it’s heavily biased.
He can use the app without leaving a review.

If you cook a salmon through, the inside becomes a light pink. If you google images of cooked salmon, you both the orange you speak of, and the light pink described as salmon pink.
- Comment on We pink inside too :( 3 weeks ago:
Salmon pink is a real color. But I think it refers to the cooked salmon, and not raw salmon.
- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 4 weeks ago:
The tech itself is great.
But:
- Businesses push that shit where it doesn’t belong
- Businesses replacing people by AI when it is objectively worst, to make a buck
- Business stealing the work of million of people to train their model

People take this advice, move to a lower COL area and rise the COL.
People that handed the advice now complains that they can’t afford to live in their not-so-low-COL-anymore area

I ought to try heroic launcher. I had mitigated results with Lutris and I don’t know if it’s caused by i3wm or not.

I don’t watch the guy and even I know this is bullshit. Instead of saying dumb things, just say nothing.

I hope that the NPD can find a good leader. Singh wasn’t the right person, and he held on too long.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Yes, this is why the election reform is so important. It will create governments that needs to work with other parties instead of having absolute majority with 35-40% of the vote.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I totally agree, they have to work with other parties to get things done.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Liberals only need 4 seats for a majority. They can work with the NPD or Bloc to achieve what they want.
It just means they dont have free reign to do whatever the fuck they want.

Mileage by counting the number of rotation of the wheel.
The mileage is a measurement to give an idea of the wear, combined with other information to give a holistic view of the state of the car.

Electronics can be extremely reliable, but Tesla chose to be sleezebags.

I mean, the guy is not wrong. Class actions lawsuits have notoriously low payout while law firms pocket millions.
However, it’s a tool to hold companies somewhat accountable.
The guy should join a class action lawsuit so that Tesla stop their fuckery, but it is understandable that he doesn’t want to spend time on that considering the shitty payout.

- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 1 month ago:
I am most probably not good at the game, but in Wasteland 3, it felt like you needed the first round advantage, otherwise you would get blown to pieces before you could even act once. That burned the game for me.
