More people need to try Starsector. It’s so goddamn good.
Tried that, does not work. When I’m physically „in“ my LAN, my domains resolve correctly. Via VPN only IPs work.
How would I go about getting this running on the SteamDeck? Is the .net requirement a dealbreaker?
Was my first thought too.
Not a shooter or a space RTS, but proper prime directive star trekking. Honestly I don’t even know what you would DO in the game. But I can imagine the UI clearly, so there is that…
Maybe somewhat like to old 90s point and click adventure games, only in 2023?!? I don’t know. I want it though.
„Robinsons Requiem“, available on GoG.
It’s a survival horror first person rpg with a semi realistic health system. It’s creepy and hard and so goddamn good. I’m am actually surprised that it gets mentioned so rarely because I would not know of any other earlier game with those now so ubiquitous survival mechanics.
To get you started on your self-curated list of feeds, you could have a look at https://ooh.directory/
I think it’s neat to not only have the big and obvious sites in your feedreader that push dozens of items per day, but also some assorted small and cozy blogs that tickle your interests.
Sounds good, but only in theory.
I think you almost comically underestimate Metas power to bring eyeballs and therefor content to a platform. In due time the vast majority of Activity Pub „stuff“ will happen under Metas regime. The initial services such as Mastodon or Lemmy will merely be a blip on the radar. Sure, they will continue to exist, but the mass adoption and the network effects that come with it will be under Metas claim on the fediverse. And then it’s „embrace, extend, extinguish“ again (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish).
To be fair: „large scale multiplayer FPS combat with vehicles“ DOES kinda describe Battlefield. Are there differences? Obviously yes. Are the also comparable? Also obviously yes. It’s not like they are comparing Battlefield to Hearts of Iron or something…
It’s crazy to me that this is a web app. I usually prefer native apps, but this thing? Wow.
I got burned with the Stardew Valley board game - it's very cute, but also not a great game. And for my non-designer brain it's way easier to translate Stardew into a boardgame than Terraria. I will definitely wait out some reviews and the BGG forums...
But see, for some people and some genres, the fiddling and trying and testing and redoing IS the actual gameplay.
BG3 is a good example, Factorio came up in this thread as well. And from a certain perspective BG3 is as much of a playground as Tears of the Kingdom. The latter hides the numbers from you, the former invites you to play with them.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I for example can’t seem to get into story driven single player games such as God of War or Farcry. The constant tutorialising drives me nuts…
