I haven’t played Deep Sky Derelicts but One Step From Eden is a good time. It’s much more of an action game than a card game though, and very fast paced.

I’m a fan of card games like Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, and Monster Train run on practically anything. There’s hundreds of hours of fun in there if you’re into these games.

It’s probably because the algorithm was tuned for a smaller community. As soon as posts got hundreds of comments it likely made things stay at the top for a very long time. Definitely something that will get tuned over time.

I think Active could use a little bit of tweaking though, it seems like some posts last too long and obscures newer posts.

That’s awesome! Really hope we can abandon x86 altogether some day.

Brent’s desk is actually the microservice holding everything together. Don’t shake the cables when you sit down or you’ll risk crashing the whole website.

Makes literally no sense to me that Reddit couldn’t afford to provide a price exception to 3rd party apps that have helped grow their community and website over the years. I’ve been using Reddit Is Fun for almost a decade now, and I’m not switching to their official app.

Companies are getting too comfortable when they have no competition. Really hope a Fediverse alternative will kick off like Mastodon did (ironically I’m placing my bets on kbin even though I use Lemmy. Seems like the simpler alternative that’ll be easier to invite people over).

Minetest is really cool but it’s always struck me as kind of a shameless Minecraft clone instead of trying to do something new. The graphics are identical, the UI is similar, the gameplay is practically the same, there isn’t a huge reason to play it compared to Java Minecraft + mods. It is free and open source though, which is cool.

I’m more of a Vintage Story enjoyer myself. It has its fair share of issues but I appreciate how it’s not trying to be Minecraft.

This sound like you don’t play games very much because that’s not the case, at all. Not everyone has unlimited data caps and fast internet, and those that do would still rather play games locally than suffer input lag and video artifacts. With consoles and PCs being as powerful as ever and still affordable I don’t think the cloud gaming market will ever be mainstream.

Sounds like you may enjoy F.E.A.R. on a harder difficulty.

The game looks great but I’m worried the enemies might be too spongy. Every fight shown in many gameplay videos is just the player wailing in a big slow enemy for 2-3 minutes until they die.

Ah well it’ll be a million years until it gets ported to PC anyways. Still hyped.

These numbers seem made up. The article even states Anthropic is hiring people with basic programming skills. I looked up the open jobs at their website and nothing suggests what they’re talking about.

According to a ResumeBuilder.com survey, nearly 29% of companies plan to hire prompt engineers in 2023, and about 25% of them anticipate starting salaries exceeding $200,000 per year.

Okay, this article is complete BS to try and drum up more hype for AI. Nobody is, or ever will, hire “prompt engineers” for high salaries. Bet whoever wrote this is going to try and sell a course on how you, too, can be a millionaire with one simple trick.

Does anyone know if this one will have a randomly generated world? I enjoyed the first one quite a bit but the non-existent level design made me lose interest after a while.

Personally I’ll wait a few months and maybe get it on sale. It’s not out of character for Blizzard to pull a gotcha and maybe slowly make monetization worse, so I won’t take the risk.

Although it does get too chaotic with over 3 players. I can’t imagine playing with 6, at that point the players just take over most of the screen.

I tried 4 players and it was a little too wild for me. Went back and played it with just 1 friend, the game feels made for 2 player imo.

Good stuff. I’ve never been a fan of Mac but I’m glad video games are becoming less reliant on Windows, even through a compatibility layer. If games actually run well I might consider getting a Macbook for the battery life.

I see the most important community of all has made its way here.

It’s the Hololens all over again and I legitimate don’t understand why the internet is so obsessed with this. If the Meta Quest 2 can’t break into the market at $400, this sure as hell won’t. Everything they showed of the Apple headset is a gimmick. Watch a blurrier version of your TV on a 2 hour battery! Capture videos by wearing a bulky headset that’s not very portable! Use apps that already exist on your phone in a clunkier way!

Am I missing something? It looks like good tech but I agree with OP, there’s no market for this.

There are a few PS4 emulators but all of them are in pre-alpha and barely boot any games. So not any time soon.

The original Doom for sure. I don’t know if they count as mods since they’re technically running on a modified version of the engine, but there is still a massive community making maps, mods, and even new game modes for it. Most recently the “MyHouse.wad” map for it has exploded in popularity. I’ve had so much fun over the years with doom mods, it’s a treasure trove that most people have no idea exists.

There’s even entire new games built on Doom. Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (stupid name, I know) is a fantastic free open source karting game with a decent community, and it’s technically just a doom mod.

If anyone here is going to play a single doom mod to see what’s up, I recommend Doom: The Golden Souls Remastered. It’s good fun.
