  Elden Ring. I tried it again after bouncing off in 2022. So glad I did. Absolutely massive, dense world to explore and beautiful art direction

  Frikkin’ awesome

  Very interesting; thank you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Average Lemmy Active Users by Month⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good idea

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Average Lemmy Active Users by Month⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel you. The Network Effect is real, and the niche subreddits need a HUGE overall userbase to work at all.

  The total population of Lemmy + Kbin is about the size of a medium size city subreddit.

  I’m staying here for now. I sometimes cheat and browse reddit not-logged-in. I don’t know what the answer is.

  “ESA survey showed” – press X to doubt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First look at the new Tribes game from Prophecy Games⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have memories of buddies in college being SUPER into it. I was never very good. But it still stands out to this day as a game with a unique feeling of speed and motion and control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. It’s one of the more creepy aspects of social media that mostly leads to “gotchas” (“oh your account is only 2 months old? your opinion is invalid!”) and stalker-ish behavior – and one I wish fediverse had learned from instead of copied.

  Factorio would cost me $370

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Dyson Sphere Program. Factorio and Satisfactory tend to get all the press, but DSP is AMAZING.

  • They learned a lot of quality of life lessons from older factory games and built them in, e.g. you get bots right away.
  • The visuals can be breathtaking: not because it’s raytracing/whatever fancy tech, but simply the scale of the game: giant gas planet rises at the horizon, etc.
  • It does power exceptionally well: there are a ton of power sources, and a lot of depth in figuring out how to power your mega factories. You can even charge up a battery and ship it by spaceship to another moon/planet. Going back to Factorio’s simplistic steam/solar/nuclear power feels like a let down.

  It’s in early access, but it’s one of the most polished early-access games you’ll find. They’re currently working on a large combat update that should drop in December. Price-to-value ratio is ridiculous. It’s $20 and I have 155 hours in the game.

  I’m so hyped for the next Rimworld DLC!

  with Valve continuing to rapidly improve Proton, just about any Windows game runs on Linux now

  I hope this is actually true, or becomes true. The only reason I’m on Windows is for gaming.

  Heck even my Bitwig DAW runs on Linux.

  I thought there’s no way… when you boot up!? Sure enough. “the ad in question pops up when players boot up their Xbox”

  Wow

  I’m between games at the moment, so I’m revisiting old favorites: Factorio and Hitman

  I was playing Baldur’s Gate 3 but I’m burnt out on it at the moment. Combat is relentless in that game…

  Yep. LeetCode medium difficulty puzzles is the de facto / unofficial standard, and even if you’re a pretty good programmer, those are tough to do in a timed 45 minute thing with some stranger watching every character you type :-(

  A Siri that doesn’t feel like it’s ~13.5 years old would be nice, especially with the advancements in LLMs. I use Siri daily (timers, alarms, weather check while in bed, etc.) but it feels SO ancient. Can’t even ask it follow-up questions.
