To be honest, I'm kind of over 200h behemoths anyway. A concise, focused, high-quality 20-40h experience is kind of optimal I think. Every time as of late that I start a massive game (thinking I'd be really into it and feeling hyped!) I just end up burnt out by the 75% mark and having to force myself to finish it, actively resenting it as I press through to see the credits.

This is actually a good item with strong stats for the cost, I just never really seem to feel like it slots in well in my builds. I tend to prioritise other items early. For a non-regen orange item early on I tend to go for Headshot Booster. That being said, I don't play heroes like Kelvin who really struggle with bullet velocity.

I don't really care enough to actively hate Ubisoft - I save those sentiments for companies like Nintendo and Disney. However, they did influence about a decade of horrible game design trends with the popularisation of the dreadful checklist-filled Ubisoft Open World^TM, and that is worth at least a mild dislike.

I mean, we'll see. Carlos has proven he's a great driver at this point, close enough to but not quite at title challenger level in my opinion. I like Albon a lot, but he's not really been tested since his days next to Verstappen. I could see this driver pairing shake out as very even and everyone ending up rating Albon higher because of it, but I can also see a world where Albon gets completely destroyed by Sainz.

Ferrari could end up as the strongest pairing, but I'm very unsure about Hamilton these days. He's only had flashes of brilliance but has been very inconsistent and also seems to have lost his edge in qualifying. Assuming Oscar keeps developing as he has my money is on McLaren as having the strongest pairing this season.

I get that it was overly naive to hope for, but it would have been such a nice story if Newey went back to Williams last year instead of to AM and his return coincided with this structural revamp Vowles has been doing and Williams ended up once again becoming a title challenger.

I'm so torn on the subject of a VI remake. On the one hand, it tickles my brain to think of what it would be like if given the full treatment à la VII Remake, but on the other hand I consider the game pretty much perfect as-is and don't want it sullied.

Privacy is invisible. Being barred from content unless you pay is highly visible. Most people only really care about whether their end user experience is affected. People cared when their favourite apps got shut down, but they don't really give a shit their data is sold. We've been so desensitized to having our data sold these days that most people have stopped caring.

A couple of months back it was by far the best option to the point of being broken but I really think they've nerfed it too hard.

And then on top of the micro transactions there is the other problematic part with a social game marketed primarily to children.

Poor Resto Shot. Look what they did to my boy. Surely it's completely untakeable now?

I don't sleep well enough to get lucid dreams anymore, but when I was younger I did. I never really had full control of the dreams though, mostly myself in the dream. You could fly around and whatnot. On the rare occasion that there were other people present in the dream when I became lucid I could end up having some interesting conversations with what is essentially parts of myself.

It's not exactly this, but Disco Elysium end credits ends with:

Mankind, be vigilant. We loved you.

Which is a similar vibe and made me feel much like the picture.

I feel like these two don't really need remaking, do they? VII was an obvious choice since it - as the first 3D iteration - aged horribly. I feel like IX still holds up, and the pixel art style of FFT doesn't really age.

I love your bot, and I'm sure I'm not the only one either. Don't be shy about asking for support, !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is a great service and I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't mind chipping in to keep it going.

That was my biggest gripe watching the Luke Stephens video on it as well. The announcement trailer looked great, why the hard pivot into an oversaturated mushroom kingdom aesthetic? Especially since it sounds like the actual game is pretty solid, beyond technical issues (that may or maybe fixed by now with a day 1 patch).

Isn't best practice to install your system on a different partition than /home anyway? Back when I used Linux (and the experience was a bit like they described) I'd just nuke the system partition and reinstall if I fucked something up.

Like the other person said, 99% of users never create communities anyway. I don't really know what this read-only instance is meant to solve.

Yeah I feel the same way. I'm trying my best to curate my feed right now to minimise the amount of posts that make me want to not be alive.

To be fair, we don't really know Albon's level either, and won't until a bit into this season. He's not really had any notable teammate benchmarks until now with Sainz.

That's fair I guess. I remember that. That was around the same time as well, so someone registered to say Beehaw or Hexbear during the Threads fediverse announcement period would probably get the idea that federation wars is all that's going, at least if they stopped visiting Lemmy shortly thereafter.
