I forgot they were even making this game. BL3 was kind of bad, the pre sequel was painful. The tiny Tina one was okay but weirdly had no ng+ and shitty dlc. Meh.

Workers should unite and tell management to get fucked.

Capriciously applied rules is a terrible system. We hold up ideals like “rule of law” and “democracy” but as soon as capital is involved it’s right back to “I am the law” and tyranny.

There was an interesting video I saw online that was saying the final boss’s theme is interesting because it’s a piano piece for two players. The boss’s theme in it is very static, and the other, presumably yours, is more dynamic. Fits with the hollowing static world

I’ve always refused to pay a subscription, so I relate to that. I’m a big fan of Guild Wars (1 and 2) for not having one, and not having a power treadmill. It’s nice to hop in after a while away and still be competitive.

I did get an old partner to play Path of Exile for a while. We still laugh about how that was kind of an anomaly - they don’t normally like that sort of game at all, but somehow we spent like 2 months hammering on it together.

Always looking for good couch co-op. My current person isn’t much of a video games person, but Cat Quest II has been good fun so far. The Binding of Isaac was a little too much for them.

(Unless she also likes MMOs, then you’re meant for each other)

My friend’s brother and brother’s wife play WoW together. They have their living room set up so they can play side by side. It’s nice they have a fun hobby they do together. (They also engage with real life, but they live far away so I rarely personally see them)

Who has money to spend on a subscription?

Also even when I had money, I don’t want to keep buying the game every month. It’s stressful, and sometimes I like playing other things.

Nice! I installed Mint on someone’s old MacBook recently and so far so good. No complaints.

Many people are illiterate. How many of them are trying to run Linux, I don’t know.

Easier and harder are not the goal posts being discussed.

Back when game design was an actual artform, having a boss who’s easy with one build but terrible against another up-to-then valid build indicates BAD GAME DESIGN

“easy”

easy

EASY

Are you kidding me right now? Is this a bit?

Your post was nonsense. “You can’t have a boss that is strong against something else that used to work” is a stupid design “rule” you made up. Like every game that has meaningfully different builds is going to have parts that are easier or harder for a build.

Yes, for example, famously pokemon with the elemental gyms was bad design. You should totally be able to use your fire pokemon to fight the fire gym. /s

And certainly no other game has something like a fire elemental boss that you can’t use fire on.

There’s just such a contingent of people who get off on hating from soft. It’s tedious as heck

Except for some optional bosses I found it pretty chill. Most of the optional bosses that are hard have easier ways of dealing with them, too.

Using a tower shield and poke weapon was the easiest playthrough of the game I’ve done. Easiest of all the from soft games I’ve played, even. The final boss went down in 4 minutes and I barely had to heal.

I think a problem some people get with these games is they have a sort of tunnel vision. They’ll have a scimitar and lose to the boss lose to the boss lose to the boss, and they don’t really consider trying something else.

I like the game but I never finished it. I got pretty far when setting it to checkpoint mode, but lost interest near the end.

I don’t really understand the game in detail so I don’t know all the good builds. Extra legs and guns seemed strong.

Yeah, that would help. There’s also the smaller risk of “I was going to click on something else, and this new window popped in under the mouse”

I think some applications also don’t accept input for the first couple seconds to prevent this. I vaguely remember something that had the dialogue boxes count down from 5 before you could click or keyboard-interact them.

Feels like the kind of problem with a lot of edge cases, but even catching 70% of the problems would be a big improvement

I hate focus stealing so I might set mine to strict, now that I know that’s an option.

It’s an absolute nightmare to be typing, some dialogue box pops up, and I accidentally accept it by hitting spacebar without even seeing what it was.

Well, yes. Capitalism and friends don’t care about a healthy society. They care about the owners having all the riches. This is inevitable without intervention.

Update: installed mint. Seems work. Had a problem where it couldn’t see the HD. Had to change an option in grub

Pasting what I found online to fix it:

“”" thank you so much! what was the solution!

for anyone might read this in the future: in the bootmenu where u can select which version of linux u wanna boot u can press “e” and then u need to add intel_iommu=off at the end of the line of the “linux” row - i had some double dashes at the end for me it did the job when I add them before the double dashes.

Then I could see the harddrive and install mint mate on my old macbook air

also needed later on to set the parameter permantent by opening a terminal and used this command sudo nano /etc/default/grub

edited this line like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=“quiet splash intel_iommu=off” then save and exit nano and this command for updating the boot thingy

sudo update-grub “”"

So far most things have worked fine.

It’s a little annoying when steam wants to redo the vulkan compilation thing every time, but it seems to work fine if I skip that.

Modding I’m not sure how it’ll work yet. Some stuff probably just works, if it’s like “edit this file” or “replace that file” but I haven’t tried yet.
