Man, I know Elex is not as well known and received as Gothic but it still is my favorite open world game ever. There is just something about the mixture of science fiction, high fantasy and post apocalypse Mad Max style that made me fall in love with the game. In the beginning the big monsters in this world are fucking strong and beat my ass every time. I loved it and it is incredibly rewarding to get stronger and then fuck those bastards up - just to get mauled by the next even stronger monster/robot. One of the very few open world games where I actually explored every nook and cranny! You will be missed Piranha Bytes!

As much as I like to shit on Reddit, Twitter is, in my opinion, still way worse. Way, way worse! I follow exclusively left leaning accounts and a couple of game developers on Twitter, yet my 'for you' tab has increasingly more right wing bullshit thrown my way. And I actively block stupid Nazi shit. Still, the Twitter algorithm thinks I might be interested in some local assholes who say openly racist and bigoted stuff.

No Mans Sky still to this day sells pretty good. Sure, they don't sell a million copies every week but Hello Games is pretty small and they can comfortably keep pumping out content even if they only sell, say, 15k per month. And given how NMS is still talked about so frequently, how they launched for the Switch recently (my second copy btw) and how well received the VR was, I think that number is pretty reasonable.

The corporation, not the general product - an engine that powers tons of great games.

I always wondered on what engine the first Xenoblade Chronicles is running. Absolutely massive beautiful landscapes and it runs absolutely smooth even on the 3Ds! No pop ins either!

After the WiiU? Nah man, the Wii was already way behind the rest and from then on out they stayed a generation worth of graphical development behind.

I honestly don't mind that at all but I am also not the target audience for the latest and greatest in graphics. I love a great indie roguelike just as much as "complete editions" of triple A games from a couple of years ago.

We have one of those. It's called "Sparschäler" over here in Germany. I have no idea how to translate it but maybe "a thing that peels and saves as much of the veggie in the process" or savingspeeler?? Whatever, my point is: those little teeth are something else! I got them stuck in the skin of my fingers/hand so often, I got another one without the teeth. The one without teeth isn't as effective (especially when I peel carrots) and cuts more off the vegetables I peel. Feels smoother, though!

If you like the pixel Final Fantasy games and haven't already, I recommend you check out the two games for the Game Boy Final Fantasy Adventure 1& 2! They were my first rpgs I ever played and still have a special place in my heart.

You should really provide a bit more information other than a cropped screenshot and a vage question! I mean, the way you posted it would probably fit in a forum/discord that's specific for whatever game it is your question refers to.

Maybe that's just me but I think it's good etiquette to at least mention what game you are talking about.

Uhm, dude has his account for two months, so I think it's save to assume he also is a Reddit refuge. Oh, you know what, it actually says so in his profile.

I am in the same boat. Bought RIF years ago and there are a couple of other apps I got as a one time purchase but subscriptions mostly make me delete an app immediately. Stuff like Spotify or Netflix are exceptions of course but those apps are just the gateway to a paid service. Sync doesn't have to pay money on an ongoing basis to Lemmy. It's straight up a purchase to the developer for an app.

Not too concerned though, I use Voyager at the moment and it's just such a great way to browse Lemmy, I have no problem sticking with it!

Aside from the useless features overkill, I still think SwiftKey is the best Android keyboard. I ignore 90% of the stuff they implement. Quite frankly I am almost unable to type quick without it.
