While I agree that it’s a bit disingenuous to call it’s a PvE game I do think that the feel of it is on the PvE side a lot of the times (but considerably less than half of the time). Especially since the ARC robots are so well done. And I don’t encounter other players in a meaningful way every game.

However, I don’t agree at all that it’s a horrible game. I think that it’s a fantastic game! It’s just released and it has some issues. Apart from a couple of small issues I think it’s a game that does the genre extraction shooting great, runs great, and is the first game in quite a while that feels done and polished and not rushed in any way.

Regarding the shot-on-sight and camping I think it’s a double edged sword. Of course it doesn’t feel good to die, especially by camping. But it would not feel good to extract if there was no risk/stress before doing so.

I thought that I was the only one 😂

Eh, I use Linux btw

As I understood it they have explicitly made that the deal with the voice actors. To use their voices for training a model and use for generating voiced dialogue in game. Which leads me to believe that the voice actors have probably been compensated fairly and on agreed upon terms.

This makes it different than just buying/using general voice models that has just scraped the internet of audio content and never hiring or compensating any voice actors.

So how come this is not a thing on Windows? I switched to Linux earlier this year and I see this compilation prompt each time a launch a game. But I have never seen it on Windows.

It’s possible that I have this “use precompiled shaders” feature enabled on my Windows installation but not on Linux i guess. But I have literally never seen it on windows for any game on any launcher.

I am also curious as to why these shaders are not just compiled once with the first installation of the game (or once per update)

When playing Split Fiction. The poop/pig extra level where your power is to double jump by farting got the inner child in me.

As a swede, I’m so embarrassed that my country supports this shit.

Is this the Surfshark every YouTuber is telling me about??

Well, of course smaller studios can charge less for their product in order to make a profit. Their expenditures has to be a lot less, and hence they need to make less money to make a profit.

I bought the original Hollow Knight after the great reception of Silksong. Needed a game to play on my recent flight.

I have never played a platformer like this since I was a child and played Super Mario on the BGA. But I like it a lot!

I enjoy The Primagens podcast “The Standup”. It’s on the ramblier/sillier side, but it features some serious discussions as well.

I think it’s a regulation that goes into effect in the entire EU this week.

This was very cool!

If you use the wireless adapter this is required. I mainly use Linux but sometimes boot into Windows. Hence it’s easier to use the adapter and have it paired with the singular thing, than to re-pair it with Linux/Windows each switch.

I switched 3 months ago and have the same experience as you. Got on the $25 tier that has access to all AI assistants/GPT models through their “Kagi Assistant”. So I basically swapped my ChatGPT subscription for the Kagi one which also has the search.

What’s nice is that I can maniacally search for stuff I’m looking into without them being bombarded by ads for it for a month after. Feels refreshing!

Would recommend.

Maybe that was the misunderstanding. Is was never a conspiracy. It was a prophecy.

Nice to see that he’s been promoted up from Assistant to the Regional Manager!

You are comparing apples and oranges. That’s probably why.

I think you provide the perfect example of what OP is talking about.

In my experience this kind of comments and “far left” views are the norm on Lemmy. I think that in this regard Reddit had (I have not been there since the API shutdown) a much more balanced and wide spectra of political views. Not to mention that everything wasn’t political there. Here I feel like everything takes a “far left”/Marxist turn.

To me, this homogenous political environment turns me off and is one of the primary factors behind me not really using Lemmy that much.

To be clear I do not think that your views should be silenced and whatnot. Just agreeing that this is indeed a “far left” echo chamber.
