Mall Music 3 from Dead Rising

It looks like an absolutely asscheeks AI-generated clone of Darkest Dungeon with NFTs shoehorned in.

It’s going to fail hard and they will go and lay off a bunch more workers.

Have you tried an older kernel? Fedora (and Nobara I assume) usually allow you to boot with previously installed kernels through GRUB.

Yeah, something is definitely wrong. It’s easy to point to complexity or whatever as the problem, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was microplastics rotting the devs’ brains or something.

I really don’t get that guy’s deal. He goes by “Pirate Software” but his world view seems entirely opposed to piracy and even software ownership.

I remember him bragging about baking Steam achievements deep into his game so it couldn’t be pirated, or something like that.

My take is that pretty much everything should start out as a monolith and evolve organically from there. You will know if/when you need a separate service.

Rockstar hasn’t made a worthwhile game since GTA4

Somehow the helicopter pilot sounds better than the new Frank does

LETS FUCKING GOOOO I THOUGHT THEY GAVE UP ON DEAD RISING

SOMEBODY WAKE UP STIP0

I don’t know why a competing service couldn’t do the same with purchased Steam games

We already kind of see that, albeit in reverse. Many Steam games require third party launchers, almost as a kind of desperate attempt to get them installed on users’ computers.

They don’t even give me the impression that they’re trying to be serious competition

I can definitely agree with that. EGS in particular is frankly shameful for a company that constantly rakes in obscene amounts of money.

A common reason cited by g*mers for only using Steam is that they “want to have all their games in one place”. They will literally never switch to anything else, no matter how good it is, if the majority of their “owned” games can only be accessed through Steam.

One of my all time favorite games. The only thing that would have made it better for me is a time-based story a la Dead Rising. Though that would have probably made the game even less successful than it was.

The game director of Prey is working on something that sounds similar with his own studio. I’m holding out hope, even though their last game (Weird West) wasn’t that good.

MMO

Don’t get me wrong, there are a few MMOs I like, but the vast majority are awful.

Feels good to hear someone else say this. I regularly try switching and always end up finding bugs in the DE or clients. Some issues I’ve found have existed for years with no fix in sight.

I worry we’ll end up in a situation where X11 starts accumulating bugs due to lack of maintenance while Wayland takes ages to mature.

It was both, but the space-y stuff is what I’m talking about:

I think “nasapunk” is fine (but I don’t like calling it that), and that Starfield was just poor execution.

I would say Prey aimed for a similar style and pulled it off. There were even actual space shuttles.

In case you haven’t tried them, “semi-realistic” multiplayer shooters are a good middle ground. Games like Rising Storm 2 or Hell Let Loose (haven’t tried that one, but it looks good).

They have no esport interest, so people only play them to have fun, and the people playing are usually older. They have a lot of depth to them too, since the gameplay can be very asymmetrical.

As far as singleplayer game recommendations, try Prey (2017). I bounced off it at first, then came back later and it became one of my favorite games of all time.

Sounds like the command pattern to me.

I bet these ads don’t show up in pirated copies.
