you know honestly, I could see that. I see several posts all the time about “was wrongly banned”. Reddit went to shit, and I know I was banned for my fair share and they love throwing around the ban hammer. But… I’m guessing not everyone was completely wrongfully banned.

I’ll say that W3 starts horribly slow. White Orchard is one of the most boring training zones I’ve done, and Velen is rough. It’s needed for sure, but it doesn’t hook you very well. I highly recommend pushing through to Novigrad where you start meeting your friends like Triss, the story really picks up, the side quests get more involved, and it helps carry it through.

I love story rich games, Mass Effect is my #1, then RDR2, and then probably Cyberpunk 2077. Witcher 3 was very good, but to me the story just never quite gripped me like the others. The world however is phenomenal, and that’s what kept me playing.

Complaining about a free upgrade to a game you personally didn’t like is weird. What, you have to go out of your way to let us know you don’t like it? Dude you’re literally a meme.

I always love how the scammer always looks the same, like a true con man. Every time wall street just eats it up even though everyone says hey, he’s a scammer.

But maybe this time it’ll be different

Yeah anytime I see code that I use that interacts with a third party I mirror it to be safe. Repos are small. Especially if the third party isn’t a tech company, like most home assistant things. They are incredibly hostile and letigous against open source projects that have the audacity to make their products better.

Well damn. Need a new post on mildly infuriating then

I think luckily it’s because most games still have plenty of open seats, and it’s pretty clear that for the most part people only go when it’s easy to get in. I also think cheaper seats subsidize the real money - food and drink. They know a 30 dollar ticket is cheap, but they also know for that family of for for $140 you might spend an additional 150 just on food that is worth maybe 20 bucks. Many will eat ahead of time or do what they can, but I see lines hours long waiting in line for that $15 dollar hotdog.

always remember to clone/mirror repositories in other places folks. Lawyers got onto Github and Github happily takes things down unless all of the internet comes to push back. Mirror your favorite projects to codeberg, forgejo, gitea, wherever. You never know when someone will be forced to take that project you love down.

Yeah I have no care for their annual marketing rebrand. 6 broke most of the things I used even, I had DLCs that didn’t even work. Dovetail has no interest in going back and fixing anything.

That should worry them, as I spent probably 4-500 dollars a year on their content, happily I might add. I love the routes and the simulation. Last year I didn’t spend anything on it.

This looks honestly really good. Gears always looked like another shooter at face value, but it always had a great story and a lot of heart. They had a great trilogy, and then they lost that heart for 4/5, so much that I didn’t even bother with 5. E-Day here could be exactly what the franchise needs, a reboot of the gut feelings we had when playing the original, and the added benefit of it being a prequel so it could pull in new fans. I’m hopeful for it.

That being said it’s xbox exclusive and I’m linux-only so no way to play :/

What in the sad incel shit is this

apt username I think.

It really disheartens me, I fight for public transit all the time, but the very few who do this ruin everyone’s perception of it. Then people who try transit see something like this and never want to again.

People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.

It’s so tiring, I’m so tired of it. I’ve honestly stopped recommending the fediverse for the time being. Everything is simply way too negative, like going to the bottom of reddit comments every time. 3 years I’ve been here but this has been just the last year where I’ve noticed it getting really bad. I’m not sure if it’s virtue signalling where people feel the need to rehash things everyone already knows in every thread, but it gets very exhausting. I know how bad gaming is, I know how bad corporations are. That’s like, 99% of threads here now, can’t we talk about Ciri in just one thread or something?

Amazing that they never accounted for being offline. Didn’t want to stick to the schedule that was set for a week of offline? Say it has to be online (it doesn’t) but just say it does. Why not keep a copy of the weekly schedule locally, and then follow that if internet drops. Have a rule that says it will continue for a week offline. But it was probably done at bottom dollar

Right? I have loads of hobbies. How the hell am I supposed to know if OP will find the m boring?

CDPR has a stake in GOG, all of their games are available DRM free there. I know it’s not your preferred device, but your gripe is with Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo, not CDPR.

Philips Hue are actually simply zigbee. You can reset them and use any zigbee base station, completely disconnecting them from Philips. I personally just have a USB dongle I got and run zigbeetomqtt. I know they come at a premium, but they’re still the best I’ve used. However if you choose to do a host yourself option you can also mix and match them.

I know what CDPR did and they made up for it, which is a nuance most commenters don’t understand when it’s way easier to jump on the bandwagon of hating studios.

Why did I come here? This post crossed my feed, same as you I’m guessing. Why did I comment? Because I was excited to talk to people and all I saw were gripes, so I commented.

When companies release good games, they celebrate and praise them

Correct, which is what I was doing. Thankfully you came along to prove my point exactly, that there must be no positivity about games. Comments must be about how horrible all games are, and there may be no positive mentions about games! Otherwise you will absolutely get people commenting angrily about how you refuse to also be angry with them.

Want to know why gaming doesn’t feel fun anymore? It’s 60% the issues brought up by the commenters here.

The other 40% is how gamers are all extremely negative and it’s only been a downward trend. This is now the THIRD thread I’ve seen today about something I’ve been hyped about, and not a single one has had a positive comment. It’s all either “It’s going to be a corporate shitshow” or “You’re a bad person for even liking a game made by X company”.

And hey, the companies did it to themselves, but fuck I’m tired of the constant negativity. I’m excited for this! I don’t care! I loved the entirety of the Witcher 3, CP2077’s release was a shitshow but they more than made up for it afterwards with a stream of first fixes and then just free improvements, not to mention Phantom Liberty and now it’s like, my #2 favorite game ever. And I have a DRM free copy so I can keep it forever! I have no reason to doubt them. Sure it may be late. I don’t care. I’ll probably still love it.

I’m not going to go preorder it, or by the swag, or froth at the mouth like marketers want, but goddamn everyone is so freaking negative all the time.

Cue the standard Lemmy comments of “Did you know CDPR did X 8 years ago and you should never give them a penny” and “There was a moment in their game that didn’t land well so we should boycot it” or “it’ll be delayed so the entire studio sucks”
