  Reminds me of when I was doing driving practice with my mum before I got my license, turned off the main road onto what I thought was just a small residential street and quickly realised it was a shared driveway type thing for maybe 4 houses. Anyway this guy is watching the whole time from his garage workshop thing and halfway through me turning to leave he knocks on the window and basically says I can’t go in there and I should turn around in the space between the road and the outer edge of the pavement. I didn’t think I had enough room to do that safely and he cast doubts on my fitness to drive. I would have already left by then. Anyway I passed like a month later. I wasn’t on his part of that drive and had no plans of ever going there again. If he didn’t want people occasionally turning onto that spot he shouldn’t have chosen a house by the main road. Actual clown, I’m still annoyed.

  For drawing/painting yeah, krita is comparable, especially if you set the presets to be similar to ps. I haven’t tried krita with photo editing much though

  Yeah similar here, I could never get into stardew and I played timberborn a while ago but haven’t felt like picking it up again since

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I hope they do, ksp1 is a very important game. I’m still mildly concerned about their choice to avoid steam though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kbam is very doable for souls games, the earlier pre-ds3 ones are slightly painful but for all of them it’s mainly about getting it set up right

  Cdda is a pretty steep learning curve but I keep coming back to it. One of the nice things about the project is that anyone can work on it, I’ve submitted a couple of minor fixes in the past. It changes pretty drastically over the months of you’re playing the latest build. It’s also a huge timesink when you actually get into it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm bored and desperately search for a proper game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s fairly playable without mods these days, I’d recommend new players at least try that to find out what they’d want to tweak before diving in. But yeah at 3k+ hours on steam it’s definitely one of the games that’s given a bunch for me. Very moddable but I’d suggest trying to keep your list light (not that that really stops me), use rimpy for mod management and grab the performance mods like rocketman and performance fish.

  Project hospital is a fun hospital manager but it’s a lot more serious than two point or theme

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨British soldiers tune radio waves to fry drone swarms for pennies⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’ve been using wire guided drones in Ukraine lately so directly damaging the drones is useful in cases where you’re not going to be jamming them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't believe it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the fried chicken baguette, the mexican bean flatbread thing and the katsu slices but I don’t think they do those anymore. The steak bakes are alright too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can't believe it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Best place to have fish and chips is near or on a beach in overcast weather. It’s a vibe. Pasties are definitely worth trying if you like pies and things. Greggs is worth a look. I think a lot of the bad press on our food is because so much of it doesn’t go for any kind of presentation, it just happens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please let Pillars Of Eternity's surprise turn-based mode spark a wave of turn-based updates for all other games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I personally enjoy real time or real time with pause more than turn based. Some turn based games are great but turn based games frequently feel like converted boardgames.

  The first thing I saw was that it was deleted and I’d already blocked them, looks like they’re even worse than I thought.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Athena spacecraft declared dead after toppling over on moon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on how long it sits there, the lunar surface has a pretty wide range of temperatures that cause wear, lots of radiation and the regolith is quite abrasive. But realistically by the time something gets there that could put it back it’ll probably not be worth it from anything but a historical standpoint.

  It’s not bad but I personally couldn’t get into it, too much dnd.

  As other people have said, induction is alright. Way better than traditional electric anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No means no⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  See, I actually found OneDrive really useful with the whole integrations and coming with every Windows. The thing I don’t appreciate is how pushy they are with it. Like holy shit michaelsoft, just let people do their thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the main reason doom can be considered more friendly is because the whole engine’s been taken apart and rebuilt by half the game industry by now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more that most games aren’t made with consideration for modding, this means you can have core gameplay elements hidden in encrypted packages and modding is limited by what you can actually get access to. Sometimes the devs/publishers will actively make mods harder though. Really depends on the game, the company, how determined people are to mod it, how long the game’s been out for, the engine and probably a bunch else that I haven’t thought of right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some games are super easy, press a button and it’s done (steam workshop and things like that), most games are pretty easy but it varies (drag and drop some files to a specific place, maybe do a load order) and then there’s the games that aren’t made in a mood friendly way and require a 50 step ritual to add a minor graphics update that probably won’t work the first 3 times because you forgot to add a patch on step 7b. Mass effect is definitely not a game designed to be modded, bg3 hasn’t had full official mod support that long afaik so some stuff is likely still hacky

  Yeah, lidar and radar don’t need an external light source to work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conversations like this are why I want more people, especially "normies", in the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, one nice thing is that you can remove the problem communities and you see a lot less of them

  I mean at this point my attitude on Nintendo stuff is fuck em, I’ll play their games without paying (if I even feel like playing any of their games) because they deserve it.
