I feel this. In some ways it was a relief discovering that I didn’t need to keep up with gaming anymore. I would just play what I want want to play, when. But unfortunately I’ve missed (or even forgotten) about a lot of games I really wanted to play.
When we were purchasing new dell laptops for work a 2 years ago, the change to lpddr was an oversight and we bought models with 8gb of ram. Since these are effectively not upgradeable for us, they’re going to age out sooner than they should. We were not very happy…
Luckily we caught this fairly quickly at least, and it only represents a few percent of our total inventory. I hate this anti consumer design.
Qbittorrent let’s you dynamically rename and move stuff based to tags. Status, and other stuff. You could get really in depth with the scripting too.
I’ve sunk over a dozen hours into it so far. It’s a really enjoyable game, however it is truly in early access stage and the developer has made no illusions about that. It’s playable, and largely bug free, but there’s not a lot of depth available since many of the features are still in progress. Up to the release of the game, it’s been developed by 1 person and he’s hiring some additional staff but that all takes time to see fruition.
The graphics are beautiful, and the game has a great atmosphere. I love watching the buildings being constructed. The mechanics in the game work well, but there’s a lot of buildings, resources, and advanced stages that need tweaking/implementing.
If you like what you see in the videos, and are OK with an actual early access game, knowing that features and improvements will be coming slowly, then id suggest getting it now. Otherwise, wait for the official release.
Most phoronix articles are pretty much straight to the point actually. I haven’t regularly visited them in a while but they were a good source for open source news, and might still be.
Valheim at msrp. So. Many. Hours. Such a fantastic game.
For everyone’s sake it might be best to refuse to support the application because of the security risks with such an outdated program.
I’m about the same. Last switch was yahoo to Gmail and now I’m in the process of switching from Gmail to Proton Mail. The most difficult part was the mental switch - which email you start giving out when you sign up. Second was migrating services. I made it a point for a while each time I logged into something knew I would switch the primary email. Its been a long process!
If you haven’t checked out Pop!_OS I’d recommend giving it a try. While I’m using a system76 laptop so they guarantee hardware compatibility, it’s been one of the smoothest and most functional DE/guis I’ve used. Ive never had to resort to a command line* and aaalllmost everything you’d expect to find exists in the gui.
*caveat. Except for some really esoteric problems, which are usually a result of my own tinerking
I just picked up The Last Stand: Aftermath, and have been really enjoying playing that game.
A few of my absolute favorites
Battletech
Witcher 3
Parkitect
Never understood you southpaws lol
Man that game was so weird and quirky! It was fun, but I also remember having problems exiting the game for some reason lol. It’s available from GOG if you ever get the itch.
Fallout 76 🤣
If you were ever a fan of Rollercoaster Tycoon, check out Parkitect. It’s a phenomenal and fun themepark game!
I’m almost always a lurker but I have abandoned Reddit on principal and come here. I’ve replaced the infinity app on my homescreen with Beehaw and It gives me my reddit fix. I’m more likely to comment here too, since It doesn’t feel pointless due to the size of most subreddits. I’ve been leery of Reddit for a long time with ownership changes, the crap websites and apps, and their lack of reaction to toxic and hate riddled subs. This place is a welcome change.
Isometric Theme Park simulators. I’m in love with Parkitect and have fond memories playing Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 as a kid.
Hitman is one of my favorite stealth games in this way.
I have a huge shelf of shamepportunity (see what I did there? Now no one can correct me! 🤣) what I like vs what I get to play with my friends/SO vary greatly.
Some of my favorites
This is really cool! I think showing how you’ve been able to achieve these results with non-mini paints would be really interesting to discover! I’m also always looking for tips and I need as much as I can get.
I have very slowly getting into mini painting. I was gifted a bunch of reaper paints and bought a few more to round out the color spectrum! I’m as artistic as a brick and have zero skill so I’m trying to approach it technically. I have too much going on so I haven’t done much painting in a while but I keep coming back to it.
FF VII and FF VIII where the first two games I played in the series, but i was very young and didn’t really know what I was doing. I think we had rented one game, and borrowed another. I really don’t remember much about either game, but FF IX came out on ps1, and to this day it’s my image of what FF means.
The unique worlds, characters, incredible (at the time and not bad for today) cutscene cinematic. It was the first game I discovered you can outpace yourself and wind up in a battle with a level 60 dragon when you’re only level 13.
My brother really got into FF X and i remember watching him play. To this day, I hate Blitzball lol. We both sucked at it.
FF VII-2 for the psp was actually really cool. I don’t remember much anymore but the story, gameplay, and music were all great. I would like to try replaying it!
I played a little of XIII and quite a few hours of XV. The games have really changed. Especially XV, some things have improved for the better but there’s a lot of tropes and unfortunate stereotypes that could have been…removed.
Edit: Vivi is the best FF character! 😊
