Everyone on Lemmy either says one of two things when any console news is posted:

  • Build a Linux gaming rig!
  • Get a Steam Deck!

On the second point, you are right. You are trading licensing games from Sony or MS to licensing games from Gabe and his yachts.

I did a quick search on how many PlayStation Plus subscribers there are, and according to one site as of March 2023 there were 47M worldwide.

So just a small community.

Reminder that there’s a “lite” version of cnn that’s just a list of links and text.

Yeah, that is a crazy way to look at it.

This demo has been fun!

But of course it is, given this team.

Edit: I will say that there is one thing that's kind of weird with the audio in this demo. Every works and sounds great. BUT some sounds come out of my rear speakers when I don't really think they should. For example, the foot step sounds and some vocalizations are always in the rears while walking around, but main dialog and environment sounds are all correct. It's weird. I don't have this issue with any other game, so I don't think this my setup.

We talkin’ ‘bout Bugsnax?

The market is so saturated with these type of shooters — especially ones with generic army dudes.

I’m not really surprised.

At this point if I have to print something I just go to the library. I’m fortunate, but it’s been like two years since I’ve had to print something on actual paper.

This game got me good. The atmosphere and way it drips out puzzle after puzzle is so rewarding. I drew maps. I wrote down a litany of notes on my iPad to keep track of. I tried to solve everything I could on my own until I just couldn’t any more. It felt like playing games as a kid where you had to have paper handy and wrote down passcodes.

Pouring over every inch of the map was so fun, and while I do think there will be copy cats to this game pop up in the next year, I don’t think anyone will be able to capture the magic of this again. It’s like its own singular entity that no one else has ever done. Not in this way.

For that, it’s my game of the year. Astro Bot is my second, since it’s a technically near perfect game. But it’s also simply peak platformer. Animal Well is novel. It’s just built different.

 

This is largely a silly post, but I'm curious if anyone has any fun conspiracy theories. Like why does Tataru need that knife on her belt? Is it because she's got some NEFARIOUS dealings going on to get all that money?

More so, I just wanted to see if anyone else believes that the Random Mount button isn't fully "random." I swear I see the same handful of mounts summoned more than others. If I see the Manacutter or Yol summoned ONE MORE TIME, I swear...

It’s now been about a month (somehow) since Dawntrail launched, so I assume most of us have finished the MSQ, and I’m curious about your thoughts!

For me, I actually really enjoyed not being the center of attention the whole time. It was a nice palette cleanser from the last ten years. It was fun to tag along see this whole new continent. Of course, things do end up getting more serious than that, and I was impressed they were able to get me to care about all these new people so quickly.

The new dungeons and group content all felt good. I liked that none of it seemed to be pushovers, and myself and my friends died several times figuring out the various boss battles — which is a good thing!

I just finished the story last night so I’m now at the point where there are some new quests which I assume will open up some new content. So I have no opinion there yet.

But what about you all?

 

I’m about halfway through the story at this point, but I’ve really been enjoying these new starting zones.

Something that I never really did with the previous expansions is try and do a lot of side quests as I go. It’s been fun to learn more about these new characters and their cultures.

 

Inject it into my veins.

 

NOOOO MY DARLING BOY

Four years removed from being a first-round draft pick, Aleksej Pokuševski's tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunder has come to an end.

The Thunder announced on Friday they have waived the 22-year-old forward.

Pokuševski was originally selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves, who traded his rights to Oklahoma City in a three-team deal that also involved the New York Knicks. He was the youngest player in that draft class The trade has turned out to be very notable for all three teams involved. Minnesota acquired the draft rights to Jaden McDaniels, while the Knicks got the rights to Immanuel Quickley.

 

I just started using this app today after wading through bug after bug with Voyager. Like many, Apollo was my go-to app for years and years, so it’s natural to gravitate to the one that looks exactly like it.

However, I consume this type of content mostly on my iPad, and often I’m using Stage Manager with an external KB and trackpad. Voyager in this mode barely works, so I’m just making a post here to say thanks for making this app feel great in this mode. 😎

 

This came up in my YouTube recommendations, and it’s pretty fun to watch as a Thunder fan.

 

I really try to not complain about the refs, but that was one of the worst calls of all time.

 

I was at the game tonight, and based off of the fact that Chet got more points and he’s on our team and I’m biased, I officially declare Chet the better player.

This long boi rivalry has officially begun.

(Realtalk: it was very fun to watch both of them play. This is going to be a good season.)
