Somehow, I imagined this conversation between mr. jeeniuz and the feds:

“It’s not bombs, officers, it’s just my MJ stash!”

“Oh, so you’re drug trafficking”

“Ye-NO!”

I haven’t watched the show, but that “power of one, power of two, power of many” looks cringe as fuck.

Also, if we’re being honest, the only things SW fans enjoyed from Disney thus far is Mando S1-2 and Andor.

Where do you see people citing wokeness for star wars?

Youtube mostly. My guesstimate is that roughly 66% of videos criticizing disney star wars will blame the wokeness for all the failures, instead of Bob Eiger and the really fucking stupid and shitty writing they’re giving the green light all around

The bombing run against the star destroyers being the slowest and least exciting star wars space dogfight is the biggest isolated sin of ep 8 in my opinion.

I think disney hates it even more.

That happens across several different scenes of the movie, so not an “isolated” sin, but a very thorough trashing. There’s the green milk, the total 180 in his personality for no reason, the attempt to kill his sleeping nephew and probably other things I’ve forgotten.

While the scene where he fights Kylo looks cool, that happening because “it was a force ghost/projection all along” felt like a litmus test of how much bullshit people were willing to swallow. Sure, the force is basically space magic, but physically clashing sabers one minute and being completely holographic the next? Funnily enough, if the fight was entirely Luke dodging Kylo, that would’ve worked so much better.

George Lucas ruined Star Wars when he learned to write at a young age.

So, it’ll be harder to tell when someone is buying likes from bots? Because that sounds like what muskrat intends to do in order to boost his shit ego

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I don’t think they can alter the number of likes received willy-nilly without attributing 1 like to 1 account, and I’m basing this thought on how a normal system would behave, as I suspect xitter still uses the equivalent of a select count(has_liked) from user_post_reaction where id_post = {whatever}; – Changing how a normal count of likes work, without attributing them to accounts, would easily fuck up xitter real hard.

Sure, melon himself wants to believe his own delusions, but there’s a lot of people that aren’t him and that don’t have access to the code, or the coders, and definitely want to find ways to abuse this.

Well, at least they won’t need to make “thousands of planets” worth of “content”, so the game might at least look consistent

Still, after Starfaild, my expectation is for TES6 to have something that kinda almost resembles Dark Messiah of Might and Magic’s melee combat; only Archery, Melee, Magic and Armor skills to level up; Emil Pagliarulo’s “greatest” story yet with double the time travel and multiverse bullshit; twice the amount of stories that get nowhere and that nobody in the world cares about; removal of stealth

ICastFist,

Doing better than starfield shouldn’t be hard for them. Getting on par with the quality of Divinity Original Sin, much less Baldur’s Gate 3, is likely beyond bethesda’s ability, tho.

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

The story is just so damn BORING.

Oh boy, you’re lucky. I trudged through for 70h out of sheer morbid curiosity. The boring main story goes straight into “icecream on forehead” when the starborn show up. The ending is just a shit cherry on top of that, with Emil Pagliarulo’s best “fuck you for asking questions” ever

Try Daggerfall Unity. Only the engine is newer, also loads of bugfixes and mod support.

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I don’t think they ever said that. It’s their “first new IP” in 25 years, and was “in production” since 2013, likely just planning stages. In reality, production only really started after FO76, when more people were available to do actual work.

Which would be an improvement over the 10 different “dungeon” buildings + 3 caves + 6 POIs you can find in starfield

ICastFist,
@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

Not quite. It’s just harder to disconnect the 3D visual of a sword or mace swing very clearly hitting a creature and said hit missing entirely, especially as you’re in direct control of when and where the attack happens. For comparison, it’s much easier to accept misses in Neverwinter Nights because you’re not directly controlling the attacks. The fact that you can also look at the log of dice rolls helps a lot, too.

Hell, even in Arena and Daggerfall, where you’re also in direct control of your swings, it’s easier to accept when it doesn’t hit thanks to the slow animations and 2D graphics of your equipped weapon and the enemy sprite.

@ICastFist@programming.dev avatar

I hope they’re not biting off more than they can chew. I mean, the scope of the whole project sounds bigger than Daggerfall, which means it’s unlikely they’ll finish on time and, when they do release something, there’s a high chance it’ll be lacking tons of features at launch.

massive, procedurally-generated world with plenty of variety in the environments and locales. Dungeons and cities are crafted to feel unique from one another, offering limitless options for layouts and aesthetics. The world itself is ever changing; cities can grow, deteriorate, or be entirely destroyed by war, and the sky, landscape, and flora change with the seasons.

Unless they’re Dwarf Fortress level masters of procgen, I won’t expect much more than typical single pass “random perlin terrain”

It’s created and backed by Google, so that’s no doubt Jamie’s main beef.

Also, when it first came out, most OSs didn’t have native support, so saving a webp locally, you could only open it via a browser, or you installed a non native image viewer, not unlike jpegs and gifs during Windows 95

Side note, I personally use nomacs as my default image viewer in Win10 - nomacs.org

Been playing Rebel Galaxy on and off a bit. It’s decent enough, think of it as a Freelancer lite, big emphasis on “lite”. It’s more “naval combat in space” than any sort of space game.

Also some Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, I really suck at it but it’s so flashy and fun!

ICastFist,

I’m partially aware of people not liking Rebel Galaxy Outlaw as a sequel, though I never read into the whys, though if you can actually pilot in all 6 degrees of freedom, that’s a plus for me.

Very old comment, but my 2 cents: sorting by extension instead of MIME type. I don’t want my jpegs, gifs and pngs mixed up when I tell PCMan, Thunar or Dolphin to sort by type. It annoys me to no end that something Windows has had since at least 95, most distros’ default file explorers don’t.
