Saber interactive at least are an experienced developer with real games under their belt.

Jusant is next on the list after Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Hell yeah. Been hanging out for getting this one.

Because budget alone doesn't make a good game. It's a lack of creative vision and churning out safe bets that mean people just aren't excited anymore.

Teams of thousands working on a game designed by committee means no single group really has a vision of the creative vision of the project.

I get it that the marketing budget is important, they need big flashy games to justify the marketing budget required to get cut-through.

Ultimately I think it's the case that these dev teams are too large, and aren't making true art anymore, because true art is risky.

Small studios are the ones making art, and some of them are getting cut through into the mainstream. This is where good games exist now.

Retro Game Corps is the targeted channel in this video. He doesn't focus on piracy of games at all. Mostly he does reviews of hardware and has some high effort videos.

Ah okay, I'm not sure then.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Was that updating with "zypper dup"? I've heard going through discover or zypper update isn't the recommended way strictly speaking, so its worth mentioning.

He's on the better side of tech reviewers IMO. I think sometimes he's more focussed on describing what sets a product apart in the market, rather than judging whether that niche is worth filling or not.

Definitely doesn't feel scammy/overly ad driven.

Opensuse tumbleweed. The packages go through a testing process unlike Fedora AFAIK.

I think we're almost there. Probably slightly bulkier fashion needs to be normalised to make this acceptable, but the potential applications of AR are actually cool. Meta is a privacy nightmare, but they are pushing R&D in the VR space and I think its at least notable. I don't like trusting any megacorp with my data but its going to be a big company that makes commercial AR a reality.

The brown MilSim apocalypse was a bad time.

Ultimately, these cozy games are so often Indies with a limited scope and budget. The fact that this sort of genre has found the following is a good thing for gaming and Indie devs.

Of course once we reach market saturation and people are fed up with them, they won't sell as well and new twists on the genre will have to be developed in order to stand out. This is a good thing for gaming and indie devs again.

 

Just wanted to shout out this piece of software.

I've been time poor lately and the ps5 has been gathering dust in my office. Streaming onto the deck has been a godsend, as I'm not tied into locking myself away from the family to play a game. Bit of a hassle to set up but so handy once it's been added as a non-steam game.

Just wondering what a rough split is of people using either Usenet, torrents, or both?

I've only just discovered Usenet and while it is paid, it is very cheap and much more convenient than torrents.

Using torrents as well with the *arr suite set up for my various Linux ISOs.

 

Seen a few times bazzite has been mentioned, but just have seen another user say they have OpenSUSE installed.

I'm not sure what the benefits of these options are, especially non-steamOS ISOs?

 

I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit. I know what it means, but just wondering why such the popularity over on this side of the fence?

 

I really didn't think this was going to happen. Lemmy is missing an app at the level of boost for reddit.

If the UX is close to what BFR was, then this will really help with platform migration.
