I honestly don’t remember, a cursory search told me $70 but regardless of which it wasn’t worth it then and it’s barely worth $15 now, from what I know of the game. Tons of different games (No Man’s Sky, Outer Worlds 1 & 2, Elite: Dangerous to name a few) do different parts of Starfield 100x better than Starfield does it, often for less money. I can have a far more enjoyable time playing a mixture of those games than by playing a half-baked Bethesda attempt that does all of it – from the roleplaying to the space exploration to combat in space – badly.

if by that you mean people were not ready to pay $70 for a giant steaming pile of shit, then yes, they were “not ready for it.”

I had a friend gift this to me, according to steam I played it for 14 hours, and all I can say is that it is thoroughly meh. I barely remember it.

I’ll never get over how some people whiteknight for soulless corporations that not only don’t give a fuck about them but actively hold them in contempt, yes, the internet is a silly place.

no, you don’t understand, as Take Two and R* quite happily also take down free mods.

for the umpteenth time, quit making mods for games that are developed by asshats. Take Two/R* very clearly don’t want a healthy community surrounding and supporting their games as evidenced by virtually every decision they make regarding community modding efforts, stop trying to give them one; spend your time making mods for better games. Or better still, go from modding games to creating them and you could develop your vision without the constraints of someone else’s IP. But for the love of fuck stop giving time and effort to these people who will deliberately squander it.

Ubisoft fans should be accustomed to being incredibly disappointed by now, surely.

changelog link until OP gets around to it

Mint “just works” in a way a lot of other distros don’t. The majority of Linux enthusiasts and users enjoy tinkering, and that’s fine – but people who want their stuff to “just work”, generally don’t like Linux because it expects you, the user, to fuck with it until it works. Mint doesn’t, and I adore it for this reason. You have any idea how floored I was the first time I went to print something and it just worked with my network printer, no bullshit involved? Or how my jaw hit the floor when installing a graphics driver was a two click install process, and nothing went wrong?

Yeah, Mint is rad as fuck.

you know, I was just wondering, replaying through Black Flag, how a company could go from making the best pirate simulator to… yeah, no, that explains a lot if that’s how they think “fun” works nowadays.

a real “Oh no! Anyways…” kind of moment

I swear, the best way to experience Helldivers 2’s community is to just be decent in games with randoms, maybe watch CommissarKai’s videos (do not go into the comments section) for tips on teamplay, and absolutely positively do not venture into the steam forums, the discord, or any other big discussion forum centered around the game because it w i l l be a cesspit, unfortunately. The Steam forums have the usual toxic trolls, but the Discord (and other hubs) is usually having furious arguments over buffs, nerfs, what is meta, what isn’t, what should be done what shouldn’t be and so on. For a silly little PvE co-op power fantasy game.

I’m not sure if Deep Rock Galactic has this problem, I’ve played it and it all seemed pretty positive but I never got into the game as much as I did HD2.

WE’RE RICH

In-game everyone is usually wonderful.

The official discord server, on the other hand… no. Just no.

Oh yeah, we’re about to see things get really shitty on Discord.

that is

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTANG

I was gonna say, 4x the amount of RAM I have, made me feel inadequate. like, “am I really that poor now? is my 2080 now considered potato gaming?”

it’s simply been so long since I’ve gone “ok I need to upgrade” that I’m starting to get suspicious

god, I miss when Ubisoft weren’t shit

can’t wait for them to go bankrupt. Then we can have another good Far Cry game, hopefully, when the rights are snapped up at auction.

legit, the catalyst for me changing to Linux a year ago was reading about btrfs and timeshift. I’d tried Linux a few times before over the years, including dual booting; and I could kind of deal with having to restart into windows periodically to do specific things; but inevitably something would happen that would require me to move heaven and earth to unfuck. But timeshift (and proton) has largely eliminated any grievance I’ve ever had with Linux. It just works, and when something (rarely) doesn’t, unfucking it is easier than ever.

Someone else mentioned Superliminal, and I second that recommendation. Very cool puzzles, very nice message.
