Damn, thinking about the msn messenger brings me back to such simpler and happier times

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

It was a bit frightening for me to see how quickly the mob turned on AH during this fiasco and just how much vitriol and propaganda has been generated on the subreddit like this is any other ingame operation with the associated shitposting… except this time it could very well shape the futures of real people and fate of the company for years to come.

Unfortunately this is the only way to accomplish anything. If there wasn’t an outcry like this both AH and sony would just ignore any criticism and move on until it gets buried and forgotten. It’s a world of extremes and the scales could have easily tipped into the other side, with people rightfully complaining about these shitty practices but getting ridiculed for complaining about just another account or sth.

Looks really promising but way too much in early access for me to risk that price tag, I’d rather try furthest frontier or the game from the settlers creator since they are further along iirc. I do look forward to trying it out one day tho, seems right up my valley if they manage to add some meaningful late game goals or challenges!

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.

Even as someone that’s still active here, this would never happen. Neither lemmy or Kbin were ready to replace reddit in either features, stability or support, not then and not even today. It’s unfortunate but reddit is not going to go down when there is no actual competition available.

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

Someone must have signed off on this and thst person should have gotten jail time IMHO.

Huh, I remember reading that it was canceled. Good news I guess

Oh yeah I played both before and after hots 2.0, I just don’t want battle passes and overpriced skins. I always thought the gold, gem and shard prices were pretty fair and accessible in hots, which made me actually spend money on it more than any other game at the time… but apparently it wasn’t designed in a way to draw the whales in so it didn’t make as much money off them.

I got blasted with a tidal wave of nostalgia when I saw this, the first game was amazing! I haven’t even thought about it for years

I started playing it again recently and it’s as good and fun as ever. If they start up the development again I hope they don’t make it worse, I don’t want hots2 with the same ‘blizzard overwatch 2’ mindset.

Sounds like valid criticism, hopefully there’s a mod for it soon if CDPR doesn’t change it. Having to turn it off all the time sounds really annoying.

Why was there even pressure to deliver if the official API wasn’t even out yet? I thought they were just working on UI and basic functionality until they can plug in the API, so if anything they had more time and leisure than if everyone were screaming “i need it now”. It seems more likely they just bit more than they could chew and decided to give up the app development since it ended up being harder than they thought (and that’s completely fine to do). You don’t really make an app like this overnight, especially if you have no prior experience doing it.

having everything laid out in a few yaml files that I can tear down and rebuild on a whim

Oh absolutely, but for me docker compose already does that. Kubernetes might be a good learning exercise but I don’t think I need load balancing for 1 user, me, on the home network 😅

What’s the benefit of kubernetes over docker for a home server setup?

Don’t give them even an inch. They are not doing this in good faith for the sake of the modders.
