- Comment on Failure is the best teacher 4 hours ago:
I remember reading a study awhile ago that was kind of shocking:
Most people when they make a mistake/s need someone/thing to show them why it was a poor decision and how to led to consequences.
Less people than that are able to learn from their mistakes on their own.
And the smallest group, people that just flat out never learn, even if everyone points it out to them.

I get the upset over the battery, but it seems everyone missed this:
No charging: The battery lasts for up to years of average use. After the end of its life, send your ring back to us for recycling.
I’d hope they offer a discount on a new one if you send in your old.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 1 week ago:
In case this helps, for me when I use it on Android TV with said TV’s remote, the arrow buttons on the direction pad for anything require pressing play/OK button after. But if I use the fast forward buttons, it does seek and then just keeps playing.

I used to be an xlite fan, but have since discovered 11 IoT Enterprise LSTC. massgrave.dev
Same idea of bullshit free, but more stable and straight from M$, themselves. Defender and Edge ONLY.

If you reformat, look into 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. massgrave.dev

If Valve can make wireless vr AND fix windows only anticheat, both next year, I’m going to be 10 different kinds of happy. I would love to basically never need my W11 SSD ever again.
- Comment on Self Supporting Antenna Tower Maintenance 3 weeks ago:
I’ve seen one of these be installed, also 40 ft tall, for fixed wireless internet. Once it was up right and ready, a guy climbed up and installed the dish.
He had a basic climbers harness around his waist and legs, and attached to that, 2 more strands of harness on his left and right, with a large carabiner clip on the end of each. He’d unhook then rehook the carabiners one by one, then climb higher. When he was at the top he used both of them to kind of give himself a makeshift seat he could lean back into, freeing up both his hands.

Which is where StartAllBack comes into play. Its not just one sluggish mess. It feels normal lol.

For real, lmao.
- Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken 3 weeks ago:
Some anecdotal evidence, but when I boot into my W11 install for certain online games, I have none of these issues mentioned. My 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC + StartAllBack setup- knocks on wood- continues to be bullet proof. For anyone who still needs Windows, I highly recommend it.

I used to love Hunt, but then the meta became too fast for me, I loved taking that game slow and sneaking. Now it’s just pick the best guns and run run run.
Grey Zone I have yet to try, but the concensis seems to be let it cook a bit more?
I didn’t get to play enough Hunger yet to experience customization, just trying to learn the maps and get new weapons. I didn’t even get to try any PvP the maps are so large.
The biggest hurdle they’re facing by far is game performance/optimization, so far the game has run terribly! The last play test I capped my FPS to 30, otherwise it was all over the place to the point of giving me motion sickness, so it diminished a lot of desire to play more. And I play a decent amount of VR and never get motion sickness. 5800X3D + 6800 XT and W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC for reference.
I’m trying to walk a fine line of not revealing much outside what can be seen in their trailers since NDA, lol.
The immersion feeling and overall excitement during matches was on point though. It has such a fun and unique setting!
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Youre probably correct about Hunger. It’s fun, but it is slowwwwwwwww and way more “hardcore” compared to ARC Raiders. I’m in their NDA play tests, for what it’s worth.

I personally will drop $40, and only because it’s from Embark Studios. Currently one of the very few studios I have faith in.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
It’s been the only extraction shooter I’ve ever enjoyed. I’m 100% going to buy it on the 30th, baring they don’t pull a u-turn in gameplay last minute. But I have 0 worries with Embark at this point, as I agree they’ve done an *excellent * job handling The Finals. It’s proof GaaS can be great if done correctly.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Lemmy’s gaming community is honestly so insufferable, lol.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Because Embark knows how to make fun ass games. This and The Finals are just both an absolute blast to play with some friends.
- Comment on Is there any way of trying Battlefield 6 without buying it or paying £17 for a 1 month EA Play Pro subscription? 2 months ago:
Not many comments seem to be from anyone who has played it. So if it helps, I am playing it and very very much so loving it. It feels like an actual BF game, again! Also to preface, the BF series has probably been my favorite multiplayer shooter since BF2, and I did not like 5 or 2042.
It is a very solid core of a game, and I can easily see this only (hopefully) getting more content and even better with time.
Some new things that are awesome: Dragging away downed team mates to revive. Being able to ride on the back of the main battle tanks, hop off and repair, then jump on the back again. All 4 classes come with outstanding starter guns. The amount of weapon customizations, it’s like a diet Tarkov. The War Tapes audio setting got a new and even more intense version. Not exactly new, but it looks amazing and runs well.
At the very least I’d try it with the EA pass. If you’re a fan of the series, especially BC2, BF3, and 4, then I’d bet you enjoy it.

- Comment on Silent Hill 1 Remake in Full Production, Confirms Bloober Team 2 months ago:
Ooo, I’m excited! Their SH2 remake was very good minus typical UE5 problems. Their new original IP game Cronos that just came out was an outstanding survival horror, which had UE5 problems as well, but for me its overall performance was better. Here’s hoping they learn even more how to correctly use the engine.
For anyone who’s a fan of Resident Evil, Silent Hill, or Dead Space, you should definitely try out their new game Cronos: The New Dawn. The story alone absolutely hooked me, and I was fully invested to finish the game to learn wtf was happening.

I fucking LOVE my Unraid server, but I’ve had it for many years and they’ve since changed their pricing. A very, very solid WebUI.
I paid like $40 just once for it, and it looks like it’s $90 now. Honestly I’d still pay that, it has been immensely helpful to get me started as my first homelab.
And btw I use Arch for my desktop whenever I use Linux.
I helped a friend build a server to use Unraid for his new house, and to get him started with Home Assistant and the arr stack. He’s always been fairly good with computers, but had 0 Linux experience. After about 6 months he became self efficient and no longer needed to ask for help.

To be fair, Crytek said it wasn’t unoptimized, but graphically over tuned on purpose, so that even years after release new hardware could finally play the game to its full potential and keep it a relevant graphical benchmark.
If that was a stupid idea in hind sight is another matter 👀.

I looked up some videos from YouTube sleuths on why so many UE5 games suck. For any studio previously using UE3 or 4, they had to relearn/recreate nearly their entire workflow again. 5 very much changed damn near everything. But also that 5 has all this tech that everyone assumes works in all scenarios and is a miracle. When in reality it’s still software tech and has very real limitations and best use cases that studios ignore. Larger studios “should” be able to trial and error while burning through $ to figure it out, but usually management doesn’t give them enough time. Smaller studios can’t afford to have many many months of downtime learning to re-adapt everything. It’s just so damn complex that very few have had time and $ to just trial and error figure out its limitations and to work within them.
It SHOULD get better and better as time goes on, though. The tech pieces in 5 keep getting improvements, and theoretically people should eventually start to adapt to it correctly, and the knowledge should spread as devs move to different studios for new work.
