[MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!
  • You could also drive an old hooptie with 300,000 miles on it and it might work for a period of time but don't bitch at your mechanic when the engine finally gives out.

    [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!
  • You're throwing back "It just works." at them because you failed to maintain a Windows VM that you haven't updated in FIVE YEARS? Not to mention that you really expect game dev studios test and support running a game in virtual box??

    If you want to do something tech savvy, that's on you to do the tech part.

    This has to be one of the most wild "gamer" complaints I've ever seen.

    MIT Economist Daron Acemoğlu Takes on Big Tech: "Our Future Will Be Very Dystopian"
  • Trump is almost 1:1 a character straight from Transmetropolitan.

    Then you have people like Elon that are straight from any cyberpunk media corporate heads.

    The parallels between the themes of a cyberpunk dystopia and the present are drawing pretty close.

    We just don’t get any of the cool shit like cybernetic implants.

    Starfield - Review Thread (87/100 OpenCritic)
  • That’s what makes this even more of an issue. The game isn’t procedural. They used procedural tooling but everything is set in stone now. They could’ve gone through and cleaned up and tweaked everything so it didn’t feel bland. Doesn’t sound like they did.

    I knew the writing/rpg aspect was going to be shallow like all of Bethesda games but, they always had fun exploration so this is unfortunate to me. It sounds like they reuse assets a lot, even in the main quest line. Like same buildings with the same enemy placement just on a different planet.

    The best thing about being a Bard is that Performance is a free action
  • Lol I do the same. Went from “what is this? It doesn’t do anything why is this here?” to doing doing it every turn because I’m a god damn bard.

    My favorite is that if you get hit the song gets interrupted for the rest of the turn. Like it was actually doing anything to begin with. I guess it makes me want to get some serious revenge.

    [Discussion] Devs and Devops: if you have running containers in production, how are you upgrading those containers?
  • We do migrations for schema on app startup (built into the app).

    Any general data changes are done outside the pipeline as a pre or post deployment step.

    Migrations on startup aren’t perfect, you have to be careful that it doesn’t take too long on startup.

    Honestly the pros outweighs the cons. You can fire up a new site/db without much effort which is something we do often.

    Big Adventure is an absolute classic. It should be revered on the same level as Princess Bride imo.

    The Weekly Discussion Topic - Roguelikes - 28-07-2023
  • Do yourself a favor and pick up Dead Cells. It’s absolutely amazing.

    They’ve added so much content to it over the years but the runs are still like 30-45 minutes. The randomized items and gear are masterfully done. It’s like mini-diablo gear builds in 30 minutes, but better than recent Diablos. You get item synergies going etc.

    The platforming/combat is snappy and satisfying.

    It also understands what makes roguelike games fun that a lot of roguelite games miss. Each run feels different and new so it’s always exciting to start a new run.

    Could we have had Beast Wars in the 60s?
  • That’s because the government has had tech way beyond even what we have today. They just peace-meal it out to us bro. They’ve been coordinating mass propaganda against us 1984 style since like. Before 1984.

    Also. The government is so incompetent they can’t provide health care better than private insurance companies. Obviously.

    on the fence about 1st playthrough
  • I don’t think the recommendation is about knowing the rules.

    I think it’s recommended that Dark Urge is only played after your first play through because something with the character is going to drastically change the story and your decisions. Just judging from the name alone it sounds like you’re going to have to fight against the character to make decisions in the game that aren’t evil or what not.

    who sets these prices?
  • Maybe not a touchpad, but I DEFINITELY remember adaptive triggers while playing Super Mario Bros on NES. It made the jumps extra fun. Also the gyro controls on the card game were really neat.

    I wish they’d finally add other cool features to controllers since than rather than just the trackpad.

    Unilever will let Russia employees be conscripted
  • But you don’t understand! It’s not straightforward!

    They totally care about the employees there. It’s definitely not about the profit they made that had them paying 33m in taxes to Russia last year.

    I’m sure they offered to relocate the employees and not you know, just leave them working in the country to get conscripted.

    Is firefox with ublock or brave better in terms of resource consumption?
  • The default homepage on Edge alone is enough to make me never use Edge willingly.

    I don’t know what that Bing/MSN abomination is but it’s reprehensible. It’s the most clickbait tabloid garbage I’ve ever seen. The fact that a company that makes hand over fist on enterprise is willing to sully their new browser with that fucking page makes me lose so much faith in humanity.

    I know it’s an easily changed setting but there’s millions and millions of people that won’t change it at home or at work being exposed to that garbage.

    Microsoft hit with EU antitrust complaint by German rival
  • I thought Teams was more of a curse than a competitor.

    Kidding aside. It’d be nice if we stopped these massive corporations from hoovering up other businesses BEFORE antitrust complaints are needed. But that’ll never happen.

    to prevent undeletion, dont delete your posts, tamper with them.
  • It’s going to piss off users and people trying to find Reddit info via Google. It will actively do the opposite of encouraging users to switch to Lemmy or something else because they won’t want to migrate over to a den of assholes. Just delete the comments.

    The biggest issue though is that you’ll give Reddit an excuse to revert your comments. Unless you’re in Europe, it’s their data not yours. Reverting deleted comments makes them look bad to existing users, reverting or wiping out cesspool comments will give them actual justification.
