You’d hate my IDE at work. It’s bright pink.

Luckily the feck attribute is too obscure to be in the line of fire.

Unless they’re suddenly shoving a UHD drive in there, I’m not interested.

It seems a weird oversight - gamers that care about 4K surely also care about films in 4K? The notion of it being an external add-on is laughable.

Then again, this whole thing is a solution looking for a problem.

In general I’ve found Lemmy to be closer to the feel of old forums in interactions. Arguments and petty squabbles are still entirely possible, but it doesn’t feel like every interaction is about to become one. It’s what pushed me to stop using Reddit - everything seems to end up as a fight for the slightest reason. Whilst I’m plenty abrasive as a person, it felt like Reddit got worse over the last 5 - 10 years.

They might have a bigger userbase now than when I joined but it’s not ended up being worth it, I feel.

Symlink each individual file, obviously.

Perhaps it’s just me having different priorities, but I have no interest in making small talk with lots of people. There’s plenty of spaces for that already whilst the spaces for enthusiasts have been sacrificed to the general public.

I’m not arguing this specifically about Lemmy, or trying to suggest policy, I’m just chipping in that there’s at least something to be said for not trying to make all social spaces for all people.

Amazing, I needed something like that a few months ago (and will need again in future).

The scarecrow is awful. In a good way.

Alan Wake

I only played through the second one but the thing that got me was just how ambitious it was. It ruined many other games for me as I was left thinking “Where’s the rest of the game?”.

The opening act of Little Big Adventure 2 gets my vote.

Odd idiom to take issue with…

I don’t think I’ve ever signed anything when a card is involved. Cheques back when they were a thing, sure, but they were all but irrelevant fifteen years ago.

The French do not fuck around when it comes to strike action. Hang those execs out to dry.

This takes me back to How to Kill a Brand in the PS3 era: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfmBzllkbUM

I played through it on my Xbox One X some years ago and had fun with it. It didn’t run at 60 fps, but 2160p30 was a very cinematic experience regardless.

Edit - here’s a screenshot:

To quote Bernard Black: “Well expect away!”

The Temple of Trials is intended to be a tutorial - something the executives insisted they include. The first game’s tutorial is in the manual.

The maze puzzle with the electrified floor is some absolute bullshit. I wonder if there’s a mod to remove that nonsense?

As for the beginning, I used a mod to skip the Temple of Trials because you’re absolutely right, it’s such a tedious slog. Yay, executive meddling!

I really enjoyed playing through Fallout 2 on my deck.
