I got “Nightingale” for free a while ago on EGS but I couldn’t play it on my old PC. I just got a new so I can finally try it out. It’s okay. Not great. It looks great though. It’s just that the gameplay is a bit bland. I believe it’s still in early access though, so things may change!
I love Muppeys Treasure Island. Also “The Colour of Magic” movie."
Huh? How so?
I’m Dutch. I do pretty much the same.
It looks like it used modern Firefox and Thunderbird code under the hood, so it should be good on standards!
How so? It’s just combat mods getting the axe, not visual aid and info mods?
That’s because Valve is privately owned and this has largely resisted the enshittification that largely plagues public companies and private equity frims.
I can tell you why too. They fucked up the map structure at the beginning. They made the world the top level and all the dino and plant assets are under that. Not a problem in the beginning when it’s just one map. But they added a second, and a third etc. and all maps needed to contain a copy of those assets. Worse, they let players transport stuff from one map to another. So if you only have the base game, your friend can come visit and use the pokeball to spawn in a couple of dragons or other DLC creature. You need to be able to see that so you need to have those assets too, even in just the base game. So, now every map needs to have a copy of all possible dinos from all DLCs. 11 maps. 11 copies of all assets. Bye bye drive space.
Don’t forget Wildcard. Ark Survival is an absurd 200+ Gb monstrosity. And there is sooooo much duplicate data.
Proposals like that should have a mandatory multi-year cooldown period. Everytime Chat Control is stopped, some asshat politician chages a few minor details and tries it again.
I have that sometimes! Any idea what it is?
Ohhh, that’s a good one. I’m stealing that!
uBlock with the annoyance filter takes care of that
Yeah, this doesn’t look like AI but like a screengrab from an old TV show. I wonder what it’s from.
Not only do they feel isolated, they also feel the same. NMS technically has billions of unique planets. In practice it has about 10 or so because they all feel the same. And even those look alike because they’re all sparsely populated worlds. Big stretches of emptiness filled with the occasional POI. Where are the mega city planets? The forge worlds with heavy industry? Any city with more than 100 inhabitants?
Yeah, I just got a new gaming laptop. Nobody sells gaming laptops with AMD GPUs in my country. I looked! So I went with an AMD CPU and a 5070 instead.
Thanks, I’ll give that a try then!
Doesn’t the Flatpak version have it’s own issues? I’m considering just installing Bazzite on a separate partition.
And what about Linux? A month ago I still had to go multi-arch on my x64 Debian system, leading to a lot of problems…
Someone I know cosplays as a Nazi. He doesn’t walk around the streets wraring an armband. He goes in full military gear, riding around on an original WWII german bike with sidecar at WWII historic events. You know, like a cosplayer.
