I'm also very thankful for this community, and fediverse social media in general. I never got on the Twitter train, and liked browsing Reddit for the sort-of classic forum experience. All of this emphasis on federated software has brought me into a social media fold I've hardly experienced otherwise.
Love waking up and catching up on things while I have my morning coffee.
I feel so bad for that lady. I'm also blown away by the speed of modern typists. I thought I was pretty quick with a 140 WPM speed.
It aimed for a very specific feeling. There was a sense of discovery and a dreading sense of isolation. It made you sit alone with your thoughts in between bouts of awe and wonder. Death was cruel and could be frequent, and the universe had nebulous rules which were never made entirely clear to the player. And why would it? You're in the mind of a dying machine.
Current NMS is an excellent space sandbox minecraft-lite, but the experience of meeting players ten minutes into a new game, and a focus on community events and progression strips away that feeling of isolation.
It's mostly fine. The game has a much broader appeal to match its marketing budget. The game was just obviously aiming at a much more niche audience initially.
Yes, the initial release of Fallout 76 was surprisingly competent in terms of storytelling and worldbuilding.
They did a lot with the premise of no living human beings. It forced them to be creative and resulted in one of the best worlds Bethesda has ever made.
Just like No Man's Sky, the developers lost sight of the initial point of their project. The game is probably a lot better for some, but for me, all of the charm is gone. Fallout 76 wasn't a very tolerable game to begin with, so now that it's a generic GaaS grindy nightmare? No thanks.
This video introduced me to adNauseam as well. I also had no idea the FBI recommends use of an ad blocker.
I really liked it. I'm a big sucker for any episode that ends in some sort of impactful flash forward.
I fuckin' love minecraft maps. I dunno why. It's just cool to see the discovered land and where players have been building.
I could not imagine stanning a company's ability to run ads. Like, I don't care about ads. Worse, I am actively antagonistic towards the concept of ads. I cannot get into the headspace of this poster. What a loser.
Libs love infantilizing entire cultures and peoples. It's the only way their mind can accept that people in countries they consider to be 'bad guys' may actually lead happy and successful lives.
It's an intense form of brainrot, though. They're categorizing potentially millions of people under the same umbrella of 'woefully mislead.' Like, fuck off. Maybe they're happy. Maybe they think you're woefully mislead.
