Also been enjoying Sea of Stars, it’s like the modern love child of Super Mario RPG, Lunar and Chrono Trigger

Dnsimple for me. Swapped from GoDaddy like 10 years ago and haven’t really felt the need to explore elsewhere, the costs are pretty good and never had any issues.

Just put the card in your wallet and scan it like a metro pass card.

The containers are useful for having multiple accounts. Eg I have a work tab that has my work Gmail/PayPal/etc accounts logged in, so I can easily switch contexts without closing all my other tabs/windows

I don’t have much sympathy for this. If you really just care about the community, then just move the community to lemmy/kbin/discord/irc/whatever. These people are just afraid to lose their power over the community, not the community itself.

Over 50% isn’t too bad at this point in the game. We’ll see if it drops lower over/after the weekend, but that is still a significant portion of subreddits, which are the only thing that generates content for reddit. I don’t this this will actually do anything, and I am done with reddit now. I never felt attached to it, and I have found active communities on lemmy for most of my subs, and the community is way better here. I don’t need reddit anymore.

Lumberyard was just a fork of cryengine, that’s not what required a rewrite. They threw away all the FPS work that they hired a company to make for them, and redid that from scratch, and then also just rewrite systems all the time because they have no plan.

Star Citizen is the freelancer sequel, it’s just stuck in development hell

A Hat in Time and Yooka Kaylee scratch that Banjo itch pretty well.

The first time playing Elite with a headset was magical. Looking around my ship and while flying through space (or even just while sitting docked in the stations), and the spatial audio coupled with VR just put shivers down my spine. That engine whine chefs kiss

I played EverQuest as a kid (when I was far to young to be playing MMOs) and it completely captured me, I have been trying to chase that itch for a long time, but modern MMOs just don’t have the same feeling as they did back in the day. WildStar was the closest, and I loved WoW from vanilla->Wotlk, gave Rift a good run, but everything in like the last decade has just felt a bit different. I think because basically every game is an MMO these days, there is nothing special about MMORPGs. Plus the availability of the internet to give answers/information means that you have no reason to actually talk to other people in the world beyond socialization, rather than needing to interact to just get around.

Seconding Bloodlines, this game has stuck with me since I first played it as a child. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the sequel, but also dreading that it ends up being awful and ruins any chance of more games.

SSDs have been around for a long time, and have been affordable for quite a while now. While optimization should always be happening on the developer side, its not crazy to start requiring 30+ year old technology to use modern games.

600ish hours in Hunt at this point, and while you can give away your position to the idle players, that only matters at the top end of the Matchmaking system where the “bush-wookies” lie. With the self-revive for solos trait that got added, it helped even the playing field a lot. Previously getting hit by a sniper was a game-over for solos while for a duo/trio it was the start of an encounter, with your teammates able to revive you after they kill or chase the sniper off. With self-revive you have a chance of popping up when they aren’t watching, or when they are pushing to your body from their perch, and either fighting or retreating.

Also I wouldn’t say the developers have a toxic relationship with the player base at all. They are constantly making fun changes to the game and adding in new features to change things up. They also test out new features during temporary events and see how people like them before implementing the into the game wholesale. And this is done via looking at gameplay statistics, not just listening to the very vocal subset of people who hate any change to the game.

Really anything by Grant Kirkhope, Banjo Kazooie Yooka Laylee, etc, and on the Rare train, Donkey Kong Country 2 had great music.

Also love the Undertale soundtrack.
