or maybe we acknowledge these issues and browse lemmy for entertainment and getting away from the stresses of daily life rather than be constantly reminded of it and roped into repetitive discussions that are preaching to the choir

err, what I meant was we need to burn down the system

I think my problem is less the size of the game and more the user experience when it comes to these games. I love Elden Ring and Tears of the Kingdom even though they’re considered kind of overwhelmingly big, but I’ve enjoyed exploring it and having fun with it since it just drops you into the game and eases you into it.

Meanwhile, something like Skyrim and other RPGs makes me roll my eyes a little at the amount of things and markers you’re supposed to be looking at. I hate entering a new town and getting lost and having to look for everything. I hate markers telling me I should look everywhere and finish 20 quests.

Mostly aesthetically, but also since Linux Mint is a very stable distro updates are usually slow and the packages it uses are often a little outdated. If you’re the type of person to want to update to the newest thing as soon as it’s out, then it’s probably not for you.

FF16 looks incredible, but sadly I don’t own a PS5 so I guess I’ll wait for the PC version to come around. I hope it isn’t too far away…

Transistor is amazing. Be aware that it was free on the Epic store at some point, so if you redeem games a lot you may already have it in your inventory.

There’s something really addictive about Trackmania’s simplicity. The physics feel great and it always feels like getting a personal best is just one lap away.

Shame the campaign this season is kinda boring though. It’s all fullspeed maps!

Rumors have it that Avowed will show up in the Xbox conference. I’m really excited to finally see some gameplay for it after a looong time of radio silence.

I remember playing Destiny 1 and being so underwhelmed. I picked up Destiny 2 with my friends after it went f2p and it’s honestly gotten so much better. Crazy that it’s been 10 years now.

Pretty much my thoughts as well.

My bet is that they’re going to allow other people from the fediverse to post on it but won’t allow instagram users to see other instances. Wouldn’t want your customers getting off the official servers now.

Oh no. They don’t exactly have a clean track record.

I found better deals over in the laptops for GPUs.

Even that isn’t a good deal. Laptop GPUs are a lot weaker than their desktop counterparts, the 4070 (laptop edition) is LITERALLY a 4060 desktop edition. They’re misleading consumers into buying something worse than they’re expecting, and the prices are still outrageous for the new generation.

It’s weird that the Y-axis starts at 1000 users, it makes it look like Lemmy was dead before people started moving. Exciting stats nonetheless.

If you hate menu diving then Tears of the Kingdom will actually make you go insane. I’m constantly swapping armor and scrolling up and down to find specific items.

Aside from the fact that I don’t think this law will pass, I doubt it’ll be effective at all. Companies will just move AI training to countries where it is legal. The most the EU can do right now is play whack-a-mole and start blocking AIs that don’t meet its requirements, but at that point people will just host mirrors or use a VPN. It’s just not enforceable, and the EU knows that, which is why they’re so stressed out trying to figure out a reasonable law regarding AI.

I played Genshin Impact up until I explored the world and beat a couple of bosses. As soon as it asks me to grind dungeons and pulls I dipped out. Gacha games suck, it’s always a massive time (or money) sink where you get almost nothing in return. Sure, I could spend a month grinding for that legendary character. Then what? I’ll beat one DPS check before getting stuck again and having to grind for the next thing. It’s surprising how many people pay money in these games and don’t realize how pointless it is. It’s just not enforceable, and the EU knows that, which is why they’re so stressed out trying to figure out a reasonable law regarding AI.

1. Slow, boring climbing sections that add nothing to the game and just pad out playtime. I’m looking at you, God of War (2018).

2. Lives systems. Luckily modern games never use it anymore, but every now and then I play an older game and wow, losing 30+ minutes of progress just because you died a few times SUCKS.

The graphs themselves stop at May though, and it’s likely the data used is a bit delayed. Still, it’s a pretty good source.

Looks pretty good, but there’s a serious lack of stunning enemies with the flashlight that Alan Wake was known for. I hope they didn’t remove that mechanic.
