  • ‘Furiosa’ Up In Smoke With $31M-$33M, Lowest Memorial Day Opening In Decades, Might Get Clawed By ‘Garfield’: How Worried Should Hollywood Be About Theatrical?

    Jump

  • That's a shame, it's a really fun movie and great to watch in cinemas. Doesn't reach the highs of fury road but it was still a really good time for me personally.

  • So... Let's talk about StarSector

    Jump

  • I remember trying it quite a few years ago but it was too much work to learn to play it at the time, I knew how long it usually takes for games like DF, kenshi or rimworld to click and wasn't sure if star sector is worth it when I had x3, factorio, m&b to occupy me.

    I am always tempted to give it a try but the number of new complex games keeps increasing while the number of my brain cells keeps dropping xd

  • Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform

    Jump

  • Lemmy is a public forum, discord servers are usually for invite-only, more closed-off communities, and we're not talking about a lemmy replacement but rather how this is inadequate as a discord replacement.

  • Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform

    Jump

  • I don't know about discord issues, the hype behind is it mostly that it's free, very convenient, feature rich and can easily integrate bots. Its the go-to place to build communities nowadays.

    Matrix issues that I read about can be seen here https://telegra.ph/why-not-matrix-08-07 . I haven't done my own research tho so I don't know if all of this is (still) true

  • Hope we get some comparable options yet, I only know of matrix and that one allegedly has tons of security and performance issues.

  • Photopea offline

    Jump

  • IIRC the web app had some intrusive ads(hard to remove and taking a bug chunk of screen space), is the offline version any better?

  • Upgarding past 1.8

    Jump

  • I use jerboa so I'm not affected afaik but I'm curious why the uncertainty about update, they are (generally) a good thing for performance and security. Have there been issues before?

  • Tim Sweeney emailed Gabe Newell calling Valve 'you assholes' over Steam policies, to which Valve's COO replied internally 'you mad bro?'

    Jump

  • Did they tho? Steam was absolutely terrible in the beginning, the only reason people used it back in the early days is because you needed it for super popular valve games. It had nothing to do with them being a solid storefront or anything of sorts.

  • What do you really enjoy doing?

    Jump

  • I've started to tinker with home server and self hosting recently, I was just wondering if the feeling of 'everything is held together by a thin wire that could snap at any point' ever goes away? Thanks 😁

    Feels like there's alway some issue that requires a special unique workaround that could stop working at any point

  • Is Linux pretty much unusable with an Nvidia GPU?

    Jump

  • It is, I'm just saying that even games that worked fine on steam deck had issues on my nvidia laptop so I doubt its the game's fault.

  • Is Linux pretty much unusable with an Nvidia GPU?

    Jump

  • Well, valheim now works straight out of the box on Pop_OS so that's an improvement! Haven't downloaded other games so not sure about that just yet though, still setting up my usual programs now.

    On the other hand I kinda hate its GUI, I installed that gnome extension to make the toolbars customizeable and now it just crashes every once in a while, for example just few minutes ago alt-tab stopped working and everything minimalized and became unresponsive so I had to force shut it off. An hour ago I closed the laptop lid and when I reopened it later, the OS woke up to the login screen but everything was frozen and I couldn't do anything. It's a bit of a cursed OS, you can't even click the folder path to copy the path, I miss mint lol.

  • What games would you reccomend to someone who really enjoyed Industries of Titan and was immensely disappointed by it's incomplete release?

    Jump

  • Check out against the storm for a fun and difficult game

  • Palworld Has Huge Weekend, Sells 5 Million and Overtakes Cyberpunk 2077 in Steam’s Most-Played Games List - IGN

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's always good advice, I don't mind missing out on hype since I'd be playing single player anyway. Enshrouded is also out and it might turn out to be the better option too, who knows. Seems like a good start of the year for survival games enjoyers either way.

  • Palworld Has Huge Weekend, Sells 5 Million and Overtakes Cyberpunk 2077 in Steam’s Most-Played Games List - IGN

    Jump

  • Id hope they use the popularity to improve it further but I really don't wanna get invested in the same way I have with valheim, they have been mostly resting on their laurels so far and these developers will probably do the same. I hope I'm wrong tho, seems like a game I'd enjoy if it had more depth.

  • 5+ man group games

    Jump

  • I'd suggest valheim but I'm not sure how is the performance nowadays, our rented servers struggled a lot with only 3-4 people and I think 10 is the max. Sailing was especially very laggy and glitchy because if it unfortunately.

  • Thinking about the direction of Beehaw

    Jump

  • I dunno whats the official definition, I just remember the old (phpbb) forums having a complex roles structure and privileges so a subset of community would often have access to subforums or threads that other people can't see. You'd have a public face of the forum and then private categories within it that wouldn't be visible from outside.

    This is more of a reddit-like news bulletin where everything is public and open by default - in the case of fediverse even more so since everything automatically gets pushed to other servers that you have no control over.

  • Thinking about the direction of Beehaw

    Jump

  • Sounds like you want forums, basically :D

    I'm pretty nostalgic for forums myself but while they are great for smaller communities centered around a specific topic, they were really difficult to navigate when it comes to larger general communities IMHO. Fediverse with its reddit-like structure has an advantage here, and I personally like the idea of AP and multiple smaller communities interacting. We just need better tech and UI.

  • Mort: A Hilarious and Heartfelt Adventure with Death

    Jump

  • I always tried to get into Discworld though color of magic but it was Mort that finally got me hooked. Death is such an amazing character indeed. I loved when he worked on a farm and showed off his scythe skills.
