Lorca got me through discovery for a season or two and then he was gone, I don't think I watched anything beyond it. I hear it's only gotten worse, somehow

I can give so many but you'll have to narrow down your preferences a bit ^^

I've recently been playing Remnant 2, Songs of Syx, Age of Darkness, dotAGE, Helldivers, Valheim, Against the Storm... all really impressive and amazing games made by (relatively) small studios or AA developers with a passion for games. If you're completely new to the indie scene you probably can't go wrong with Hades, Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Terraria

Abandon AAA, buy more indie or AA games and you'll find what you want

I remember being confused by the ending but tbh never to the extent it ruined the rest of the franchise retroactively. Not even Andromeda managed to so that! I still have fond memories of ME and I'm constantly tempted to replay it with the legendary edition, if only I had the time.

Wasn't that more for games like wizardry or the more modern example, legend of grimrock? It sounds more related to what a dnd party would do than just fighting hordes of enemies.

Back in my days we called games like Diablo hack n slash RPGs

Sounds like the original creators of these games should get the rights back for chump change.

When you’re working with purely digital products nothing is going to stay around for very long

Illuminating and very worrying statement in this context

I tried mint and had some issues with nvidia drivers, which seemed out of the ordinary since other people were fine with it. I tried PopOS next and it was fine (Bottles had some issues but games through Steam or Heroic worked out of the box basically).

They are still being vague about the monetization (it does seem like it will have MTX) and I'm am completely certain that designing it with co-op in mind is going to ruin the singleplayer vibe and progression. Hopefully I'm proven wrong though

Sure, but nothing is theoretically stopping them from documenting every single data source input into the training module and then crediting it later.

For some reason they didn't want to do that of course.

I mostly follow devs/games that write insightful updates or interesting news so it's a pretty good source of info for me, but yeah occasionally there's stuff id like to easily skip or ignore without having to scroll for days.

 

I like browsing through my activity page but it's really bad to navigate. Blog posts don't have a max height and some devs write novels in them, the entries can't be sorted, filtered or searched, the horizontal screen space is vastly underutilized, etc...

I was wondering if anyone ever tried to fix or improve it?

 

Today, we’re happy to unveil the next big thing coming to Timberborn. With Update 5, the gameplay gets deeper, post-apocalyptic Earth grows more hostile, and your beavers become even more eco-friendly. All thanks to the addition of the volatile pollution - badwater.

The full patch notes, also covering new attractions, decorations, QoL changes , and more, are at the bottom. But first, let’s don our hazmat suits and dive into the update’s main feature.

 

Summarizing his statement wouldn't do it justice so I recommend you read it in full, he explains why he does it and what has DC done to anger him to this extent - but it's also a move about more than just to spite DC.

I know we've had cases like older GTA or NFS titles removing songs from the game in updates because the licenses ran out. I wonder if the same thing is going to happen to Hi-Fi RUSH eventually?

If so I imagine it's probably a good idea to get it on GOG if it ever becomes available there. Has this been brought up before or maybe addressed by the devs?

 

Wayfinder has plenty of potential, but it's stretching the 'early access' label a little too far with this very, very rocky launch.

 

Hello, long time no see!
Today we are going to talk about the expansion which is called Factorio: Space Age.

 

I dunno if you've noticed but federation between kbin and lemmy is shaky at best. By doing even a quick comparison between some original instances and their kbin pages, it is easy to see that comments and sometimes entire threads do not get synced and are practically invisible to the other side.

Has there been any official acknowledgement of this issue, an analysis done on what % of content gets lost due to these syncing errors or anything of the sort? Are these failed syncs being logged somewhere and will there be a way to retry them a later point perhaps?

I understand that we had a lot of issues in the first month after the reddit exodus and I understand this is still immature software in active development, but the traffic must have stabilized by now and I feel like just losing data like this should be the first thing to get fixed if we want to have actual faith in a federation. If we're supposed to have different accounts for every instance in order to actually reliably get the content from there, then that kinda defeats the purpose of it after all.

Henry Schrader:

So, to anyone who doesn't know, Hi-Rez Studios, the people behind Paladins and Smite, have stated that they will be using AI to clone voices and refused to add in any words to contracts that would protect actors from it. More info in the thread. Please share to other VAs.

 

They will be standalone games with separate game balance, systems and future expansions.

Your purchases will still be shared between both games.

 

A first look at Felicia Day's Guild Wars 2 return.

 

I've been keeping my eye on these games but can't really decide on what to pull the trigger. Alternatively if you have a better suggestion I'm open to it as well!

I play all kinds of games but I do get bored with them if they are tedious or grindy, would prefer meaningful satisfying progression over just number increases for example.

Wasteland 3 seems tempting as a Fallout + XCOM combination but I don't know if it's gonna get as good as either because of it, and I don't wanna get bored with it half way through. I still have PF:WOTR in my backlog because it got a bit too much in later acts.

DSP / AoD:FS / CW3:AE seem like something I might like since I usually like basebuilders and city builders like factorio / against the storm / vrising / riftbreaker.

Chrono Trigger and Bloodstained are not usually my cup of tea but they seem universally loved and they could be a good chill steam deck games.
