I was expecting something a little deeper or more subtle than what I got.

That’s the problem when these things gain reputations. The reputation builds it up to be more than the piece of art can deliver.

Now imagine playing it when it was new and you weren’t “expecting” anything but a military shooter. It would still be just as blunt, but it landed back then far more effectively than when you go in knowing the reputation the game has built in the many years that followed.

You can just click Follow and start following someone. You don’t have to perform a copy-paste dance to bring the username back to your instance and do the following there.

People tend to overrate the harms from potential changes, while simultaneously vastly underrating the harms that already exist that they’ve gotten used to.

Maybe that’s the actual value they’re watching, did you ever think of that, Mr. Pessimist?

(Sorry, junior dev somewhere out there. I tried.)

Debian: “I’m a Docker container”

My Linux from Scratch install. It was built by a moron.

Submissions have to be related to games - Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

Sports are games. Not sure that’s the kind of traffic this community is envisioning, though.

Ugh. I’ve been a Debian (and derivatives) user since the late '90s, and you’re unlocking memories of what chased me away from Red Hat distros back then.

Anyone impatient with Lemmy bugs or downtime clearly wasn’t around for Reddit’s early days.

Scaling up social websites is never smooth. Expect bumps.

finally getting close to the original game we were promised

Ehhhhh… the things in that change list are nice, but I’m not sure they’re fundamental enough to get this to the game it was originally presented to be.

That said, it might be enough to where the game would at least be worth my time. But I’m not going to trust this list to be delivered (relatively) bug-free and as good as it sounds until it’s done and proven to be so.

I’ll at least keep tabs on it when it drops, which is a lot more consideration than CP2077 was getting from me yesterday.
