Super House of Dead Ninjas is shutting down
  • What does this mean to the game on steam? Only delisting from the shop but still downloadable? Or will it be taken from my Library? I haven't bought it yet, because I never heard of it. But it looks fun... So maybe while the sale goes on?

  • What game fits this?
  • Yeah, like DNU said, something more grindy. Or something difficult. So more like PoE where you can play thousands of hours without seeing everything or knowing everything. Or like Black Desert Online with its afk mechanics. Or a game with a lot rng like dwarf fortress or rimworld.

    Or speedrunning stuff. But some kind of idle... 😅 indeed unexpected.

    Well maybe it is because said games are my timesinks... Even though I haven't played any game as long as he/she did.

  • China announced new laws to limit microtransactions, affecting major corporations like Tencent.
  • Do you all expect localization is tied to laws for china? I realy don't think so. Most games are split into global and asia/chinese versions anyway. Why should they remove these mechanics when it isn't necessary for the market they operate in?

  • What game did you last finish? What did you think of it?
  • 😄 there are a few:

    • Celeste -> great platformer. Maybe the best I ever played.

    • Tiny Thor -> another good platformer

    • Sea of Stars -> I have some mixed feelings about this. All in all a good game. The visuals are fantastic. The story is ok (so far), the music is very cool. The battle is good but to be honest, for a round based combat system it has to be compared with games like final fantasy and it is much much flatter. Once you got the basics, no suprises will be left. And this is a pity. I expected the battle system to be the heart of the game... But it seems like the visuals are. 🤔 As I said, good all in all, but not as expected.

    • Brotato: This could be my game of the year 2023. Awesome game loop. Nice for a "short" round inbetween...

    • Cosmoteer: Awesome game if one likes to build stuff and management aspects in games. But not as easy as it seems first.

    • Ember Knights: great co-op rouge lite. Played it when it was in early access and it was great already. I should take a look into it, now it is finaly released.

  • What game did you last finish? What did you think of it?
  • I almost never finish any game because I am sick of quests and (modern) stories or the way they are told in general. Because of that, I mostly play games without a definitiv ending. But my last "story" ending was Diablo 4 and I haven't liked it. It can hardly be caled an ending... Moreover I was happy that I finaly finished the story, so I was able to see what the game will be after it... It was also pretty disappointing. So I started another char in PoE again 😃

    Before this I guess it was "It takes two" and it was great.

  • Server Hardware?
  • I have something to read for you :

    My Request

    It is a request of me from earlier this year. The boards I mention in the opening post are no good choice. But the Asrock J500x or J5040 (the one I picked in the end) are. For my needs it is enough of everything. Even if some users here think the celerons are "heaters that can do math" ^^

    On the other hand, the cpu is soldered to the board. No upgrade without switching the board either... Even the SODIMM ram needs to be replaced when switching away from an itx-board...

    On the other hand, it is less energy consuming than using an old desktop cpu etc.

    The pico-psu is just sweet 😊

    Edit: fixed link

  • Update on Radar: his Lyme disease is active. He is starting antibiotics on Saturday.
  • Maybe the vet already said it, but you should give some stuff for his gut. Otherwise the long antibiotical treatment will destroy his gut flora.

    It is what happened to me. And I still have to deal with a lot of allergies from the resulting leaking gut syndrom. And I took supplements while I took the antibiotics too...

  • I accidentally bought a game while my VPN was on
  • I dont see any problem. Even without refund, what would be the worst case?

    My guess: you need to play the game with vpn set to the netherlands? Not more, not less. Or is using vpn prohibitted where you life?

  • 2023 might be the best year for sequels and worst for new IPs
  • Well, a solution could be, to dont buy AAA-Games. Or only games that are worth it. No hype train purchases month before release, no blind trust in big names of games or publishers or studios.

    At least demos are a thing again.

    Ps: don't buy battlepasses or skins in f2p would also help I guess.

  • DIY NAS & Homeserver

    Hi,

    Since r/NAS is not available and the Hardware@lemmy.ml could not provide that much help I am here again to ask stuff ;D.

    My 10years old NAS quited work and I am looking for my opportunities. And since I am tinkering with my raspi and am generally interested in selfhosting stuff like jellyfin, joplin e.g. I decided to take the step to build my own Nas instead of buying another Synology device.

    I would like to provide my needs but since I am not sure about it it is only a try... Moreover I cannot say where the journey will take me to^^

    What I know:

    • 4 sata slots so I can use my actual drives and have the option to upgrade
    • Transcoding with jellyfin would be nice
    • having my own cloud storage is a long term aim
    • joplin server
    • maybe some terraria dedicated server could be cool also
    • low power usage and low noise are two criteria i would consider important since the energy prices only know one direction where I life
    • x64 architecture to use debian server or TrueNas Scale (I need to dive deeper into TrueNas before deciding)

    My former favorite is this fanless board: MITAC PD11EHI-J6413 MINI-ITX Con:

    • I realised that the second M.2 slot does not supports M key SSDs but I planned to run the OS on an NVME... and since there is no PCIe the singel M.2 slot with M Key support is the only way to upgrade to 4 sata slots.

    My actual favorite (but more expensive) choice seems to be: MITAC PD10EHI-N6415 Con:

    • price (not so much of problem)

    ECC compatibility feels unnecessary.

    Is there anything that I have forgotten? Any better choices from european vendors? Ordering from america is not an option because it would take forever to arrive and the process to get it from the zoll is time consuming and would put taxes on top.

    Thanks in advance 😊

    DIY Nas & Homeserver

    Hi,

    I am not sure if this is the right place, but I will give it a try.

    My 10years old NAS quited working and I am looking for my opportunities. And since I am tinkering with my raspi and am generally interested in selfhosting stuff like jellyfin, joplin e.g. I decided to take the step to build my own Nas instead of buying another Synology device.

    I would like to provide my needs but since I am not sure about it, it serms a bit difficult.

    What I know:

    • 4 sata slots so I can use my actual drives and have the option to upgrade
    • Transcoding with jellyfin would be nice
    • having my own cloud storage is a long term aim
    • joplin server
    • maybe some terraria dedicated server could be cool also
    • low power usage and low noise are two criteria i would consider important since the energy prices only know one direction where I life

    At the moment my favorite is this fanless board: https://www.minipc.de/catalog/il/2942

    I would upgrade it with a pci card to get more sata slots or with a m.2 card which would do the same thing.

    ECC compatibility feels unnecessary.

    Is there anything that I forgott? Any better choices from european vendors? Ordering from america is not an option because it would take forever to arrive and the process to get it from the zoll is time consuming and would put taxes on top.

    Thanks in advance 😊

    Edit: I just realised that M.2 M key SSDs are not supported by the slot... This reduces the options to chose from
