Been playing it solo for a day - I definitely avoid pvp where I can, and even do my best to help other Raiders if they’re chill.
It’s a good game.
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds is getting outsold by its 4-year-old predecessor 1 day ago:
B- but I really like it? I think it’s the best. :(
- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds is getting outsold by its 4-year-old predecessor 1 day ago:
And they were posting the same articles while Rise was out.
Like, just pick one of the following titles for a pre-DLC monster hunter game and there’ll be low effort reporting written about it:
- Monster Hunter game too easy!
- Monster Hunter game too short!
- Monster Hunter game need more monster!
- Food videos were better in the last game!
- Last game had better mechanics, where is xxx
I love Wilds, think it’s the best MH game I’ve played since GU. Can’t wait for its expansion to drop. I’m ready for master rank.
- Comment on GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons program 6 days ago:
They used to support Linux as a platform, but they ended up dropping it because the userbase was too small to warrant the additional development efforts. I think it was around 2015 they added Linux versions of their games, only to remove them in 2018ish?
Either way, it meant switching to Steam for me. I understand that it was a business decision, but it was a damn shame…
(All of this was pre-Galaxy.)

Yep, which is precisely why it’s my favorite. I think it’s a really well balanced game. Now if it wasn’t for the crappy main menu UI (which, granted, they’ve really improved as of late) and the bizarre bugs (which they haven’t) it would be almost perfect.

As a guy with over 2.5k hours in Hunt, I think it really comes down to people just enjoying different things. I can no longer play standard match based shooters, anymore, as I find the lack of consequence leads me to not caring about the outcome of games.
Incidentally I’ve also returned to playing Eve, because losing a level 50 hunter you spent a few hours leveling up? That’s nothing compared to losing a ship you spent half a year working towards.
Basically I’m addicted to lossy progression in games. Not claiming it’s an end-all-be-all mechanic, but damn if it hasn’t made me love games again.
- Comment on Photofield v0.20.0 released: dark mode, photo details, best scrollbar, better map, more search filters, etc. 2 weeks ago:
It’s the install size of docker and any container it brings down with it.
Really, I just don’t like the idea of being forced to use something massive like docker for a single program.
Just give me a binary and let me set up hardening via systemd - or at least a source tarball or something.
Sincerely: someone who thinks software should not primarily be distributed through docker.

Really didn’t like Immich because of its massive install size and being forced to use Docker - this project is exactly what I was looking for. One simple go binary with no extra hoops to get it up and running? Delicious.
Installed, will be following it for sure! Thanks for the excellent software.

Love those games so much, incredibly hyped to hear we might get a sequel.

Can you post a source for this?
- Comment on YSK: Deezer, the music streaming service, is owned by a company whose Founder and CEO is a Russian Oligarch with connections to the Kremlin and donates to the American Republican party. 2 months ago:
Yeah I agree with all of this. Shame there isn’t a better option at the moment, but they’re the lesser of a bunch of evils - so I guess I’m sticking with them for a bit longer.

Oh, my bad: I thought bandcamp was part of the major services. Shows what I know 😅

Bandcamp is pretty good, though. Especially on Bandcamp Fridays where all the profits go to the artists. Plus, I like getting FLACs.
- Comment on Sony calls Tencent game ‘slavish clone’ of Horizon in new lawsuit 2 months ago:
I think it’s because of the colors used, visual theme, mecha nature of the enemies, and character design of the protagonists - too many direct similarities to argue it’s just inspiration.

The trending page is separate from subscriptions.
- Comment on PieFed.World is now open 3 months ago:
First paragraph of the post states:
Administration is currently done by the same team responsible for Lemmy.World, and the same rules that apply to Lemmy.World also apply to PieFed.World.

Sounds like it’ll be worth playing the first, then. I’ll do that! Thanks for the info.

Shouldn’t one play Undertale first? Is it a sequel or a spiritual successor?
- Comment on Now this is how you do pride month, take notes AAA devs 3 months ago:
Yep.
- Comment on Hunt: Showdown 1896 is back online with its 2.4 update after Crytek rolled it back because it was so broken 4 months ago:
Poor Crytek… They worked /ended up working all night long and through a holiday.
Say what you want about game bugs and how annoying they might be for players, but teams sacrificing like this to fix a mistake is something I’ll always have sympathy for.
Hope they can get some rest 😅
- Comment on Is Matrix cooked? 4 months ago:
The response is less of a response, more of an explanation of their current feelings pertaining to matrix. Seems odd when Matthew made some clear, individual points that could’ve been addressed.
- Comment on Is Matrix cooked? 4 months ago:
Except the premium offering pretty much just relates to media upload limit. I’m honestly surprised that they even allowed people to upload as much as they do.
Makes sense to limit free users (will also help with spam) if they’re not drowning in VC money.
- Comment on Is Matrix cooked? 4 months ago:
It doesn’t affect you in the slightest, other than it might further fund Synapse’s/the spec’s development meaning your server might get new features.
- Comment on Matrix.org is Introducing Premium Accounts 4 months ago:
Yes, this would be a great feature - but it’s a big issue to implement. It’s talked about in this video, worth watching if you’re curious about it.
As far as status go, this issue on the matrix spec is what you want to follow.
- Comment on Now this is how you do pride month, take notes AAA devs 4 months ago:
OP is a fan of a game, and is excited for its release. So excited that OP is making in-jokes from that game’s fan-community without regard for whether the references are understood or not.

Completely reasonable
- Comment on Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads 5 months ago:
It doesn’t.
It has features for video/voice calling - E.g. Background blurring and stuff like that. It just lacks the stuff that would make it usable for gaming.

Works great if you don’t want/need PTT.

I meant for video. The classic coturn connection is fine for voice - though I wish it had push to talk. 🥲
