I recently finished the game on pc and boy am I torn. Firstly I want to go over what I enjoyed.

Combat

It's hard to put into words what parts of combat I enjoyed most. It may be how visceral it is or the fluidity of it. I loved constantly running out of ammo and having to use random things on the ground to win a fight.

The AI was excellent with them constantly flanking, out-maneuvering, and mourning for dead comrades.

And that's if you engage with things head on. The stealth in the game, while not as complex as metal gear, is very serviceable and is a totally viable play style that is extremely enjoyable.

Honestly I had more fun in the rogue-like mode and encounters than I did with the main story. Which brings us to...

The Story

I really enjoyed the story of the first "Last of Us" and I think what made it so great was Joel & Ellie. They had a great dynamic that really held your attention for the breadth of the game.

SPOILERS FROM HERE ON

SpoilersKilling Joel off is not a bad idea in it of itself. It's a powerful move that did make an impact on me at my first playthrough. But my god they do nothing with it. His death and the vengeance story that falls after is twisted into some sick Zionist propaganda. I really hate how the WLF and Sepharites are handled. I could explain it all but vice made a pretty decent article about it.
My overall opinion on the game is I really disliked the story. Not just because of the propoganda but also because half the characters are terribly unlikable. Abby is described as a piece of shit in the story. And I uh. Honestly agree.

My favorite character in the game has to be Lev. It's crazy what happens when you make a character likable.

This is the end to my semi-rant about a game I didn't enjoy as much as I would have liked to.

So it looks like he just read the first result that shows up...

https://deteapot.com/chatgpts-carbon-footprint-how-much-energy-does-your-ai-prompt-really-use

But if you read an actual study you get a much better idea of how wasteful AI is.

1000039216

1000039215

These two by far showcase it the best. This AI stuff is pretty wasteful

I think my favorite part of the outrage is I don't even know what they are mad about. I haven't met a character yet that wasn't super pasty and christian.

And then all of the characters in power are sort of scumbags. The other day I ran into a noble or something and he was just yelling at his I assume to be wife.

I'd say it's fairly accurate to feudal life

Good Morning c/games

I've posted here once before about my vintage story server. And in celebration of Vintage Story 1.20 finally releasing I have started a server fresh.

The server is vanilla and currently is only occupied by some friends. But if you would like to join please message me on matrix or on lemmy and I will give you the server information.

If you've never heard of Vintage Story, it is essentially a survival game that goes from the stone age all the way to the production of steel.

In Vintage Story every choice matters and mistakes are costly. Farms wither, herds eaten by wolves, your food spoils.

I really recomend it. One of my favorite games

I love just joining in every now and then and going "you know. It's all about the money" and then everyone nods their heads and agrees.

American politics are so dumb. lmao

This is wild. She even confirmed the address in her post. lmao.

Illinois is not a stand your ground state. Instead, it is a castle doctrine state. That means that individuals may stand their ground when they are in their homes, but not when they are outside of their homes. If a person is in their residence, they do not have to back down to threats of violence. If they are out of their homes, they must attempt to retreat instead of using self-defense

I hope she sues his ass. It would be so funny if this fucker ends up in jail

Also 89,923 Americans voted for her. This is all according to 270towin.com

So that means a small fraction of Americans are somewhat cool

It is being ran as a council republic, with social democrats in charge (ew I know)

But everyone lives well, not exploiting any countries for it and am fairly peaceful. Only one war with norway really.

I think this is a shortsighted and extremely ill-informed decision.

The "compliance requirments" have still not been explained at all.

Why aren't Americans and israelis being removed from the maintainer list for their active part in a genocide?

But that is my opinion and is all I will say

Here is Linus's comment

Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about. It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything. And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing. If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state sponsored spam. As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too.

And about whether or not he is under an NDA

No, but I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to go into the details that I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers. I'm also not going to start discussing legal issues with random internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have been riled up by them

Gamers have made a list of all the WOKE games

https://wokedetector.cirnoslab.me/full-list

Edit: this website is a joke but the data does come from a real place and I find some of the games they have listed as woke so funny

I'd have to read on it but it all seems fairly accurate. I also really like Max Miller's videos, very entertaining and educating

Vintage story server (lemmygrad.ml)

Hello I am currently hosting a vintage story server for me and some friends. It is up 24/7 as long as I have power. It's a really fun game.

If you want the password and ip just dm me on matrix or on here. Didn't realize lemmy supports dm's

Thank you

I always think it's funny that people call this colonialism. China is building schools, hospitals, improving the material conditions of countries.

This is not colonialism. As much as Amerikkka wants all of its citizens to think every country does it. They don't.

This is the same thing with China giving large amounts of money to Africa. Liberals called it "debt traps" then China ended up just forgiving the loans.

China has had an overwhelmingly larger positive effect on the world than Amerikkk has ever had.

Western imperialism is slowly dying and I am glad to see it

Oh my god I hate that pirate software guy. He started popping up on my youtube and he is the most annoying know it all I have ever seen on there (i'm being dramatic) and his takes are so bad. He is seemingly very pro drm and pro live service games.

BECAUSE HE PUBLISHES THOSE GAMES.

I really can't stand the guy.

Rant over.

I'm amazed at how many people can not imagine a world past capitalism. How stubborn must you be to push eugenics before revolution

I for one have been playing openmw non stop. Being able to replay morrowind on a brand new modern engine has completely enthralled me. The graphical enhancements you can add are superb, volumetric clouds and fogs keep the same aesthetic of the alien world Morrowind inhabits while also adding some much needed visual flare.

Also the gameplay still holds up...mostly! Finding your quests is an experience in itself. I'm getting terribly used to quest markers and maps that tell me where to go. Morrowind says fuck you "Your quest is by the old rickety bridge south of town besides the river. Good luck" no markers just exploration.

The game is not for everyone but everyone should try it.

A recommendation. (lemmygrad.ml)

Do you like roleplaying? Do you like space? Do you like furries?

I have the best game for you SS13/14.

The game takes place on a space station and you, a crewmember, must do your job. Be it cleaning the floors as a janitor, fixing the station as an engineer, ordering supplies as a cargo technician, etc...

Mind you this takes place on a fully staffed spacestation. So you and sometimes up to 100 people are managing and upkeeping a spacestation.

Some examples of what can happen

  • A perfectly calm shift where you meet and interact with a lot of new people while enjoying your job
  • A space dragon invades and sends space carps through portals to destroy the station. You and your fellow crew must work together to eliminate the threat.
  • A revolution! You and your fellow comrades are sick of the treatment from centcomm and revolt. Attempting to kill all of the commanding officers aboard.
  • You become a security officer/fascist. And arrest the station clown for being funny without a license

This game has so many features and is hard to explain. Imagine an actual roleplaying game. That's what this is. A shift can either stall into boredom or be the most fun you've ever had in a game depending on your interactions with other people.

This is my favorite game of all time and I seriously recommend it. SS13 is the original version of the game and has pretty much an infinite amount of content. But its old and aging. I've had so much fun over the years on this version but I've since moved on to the newer implementation.

SS14 is a work in progress remake of the original with a custom engine and modern development practices. My favorite key feature LESS RACISM. Some of 13's most popular servers come from 4chan so.... I recommend 14 to most. It's much more user friendly, is available on steam and in my opinion has much more of a future. It also actually works on linux

SS13

ss14

please try them out. They are free

What's off? It's an app for managing appimages that is hosted on flathub. Just because it is a flatpak does not mean it can't manage appimages
