There is a local service/app in my city called Yuze. It has only a small selection of restaurants. The service the app has is pretty basic: you order food and it gets brought to you by a handful of (employed!) riders. No in-app tip BS, no hidden service charges - it's great! Haven't used Lieferando (takeaway.com's name in Germany) in forever. Downsides: the food selection is limited and the restaurants tend to be on the more pricier side.

So if one is not very experienced in game engines but likes to tinker and try out a game engine, is Godot something I could check out? I mean, without knowledge of coding.

Recycling my comment from the other day. I am close to finishing The Outer Worlds. The game has a somewhat mixed reception when it comes up in discussions online and I think it's mostly because the developer Obsidian made New Vegas and Outer Worlds apparently is the worse game. So, I never played New Vegas and therefore can't compare the two. I do enjoy my time with Outer Worlds very much!

  • it's basically the same formula as Fallout 4 but in a humorous space setting with better gunplay. Or, alternatively Borderlands with a ton more talking and decisions and worse gunplay. In any case a lot of shooting and looting.
  • different builds are possible but not as significant different as in Borderlands. But since it's not a massively big game it didn't matter that much to me. After a couple of changes I kinda kept investing mostly in my handgun, my companions and personality skills to pass more skillchecks.
  • what I like: the stories the game tells! Be it the main quest line or quests for factions or your companions. All have a nice sense of humor to them without getting too silly. For example there is a dude in a wurst factory and you get sent there to end whatever he is doing there (hint: it's more than producing wurst from spacepigs). And there are a number of ways you can approach this: guns blazing, trying to sabotage the factory or sneak in and just kill the guy.
  • also: great soundtrack and overall sound design! The jingle that plays when you level up is just great!
  • also: while not a massive big game there are a lot of different places to go and explore. From abandoned settlements in some sort of desert to a big city where only rich people live and everything in between.
  • meh: so many drinks, lotions and food items that give you different boosts. Problem is that there are so many different items it's hard to keep track which one does what. I abandoned pretty much all of them and only kept Adreno (restores energy).
  • meh: fast travel can be annoying because most of the time you have to fast travel back to your ship and then from there select another planet/spacestation and then land your ship and then again fast travel to wherever you need to go to. So it's potentially three (not very long, though) loading screens if you need to go someplace different.
  • decisions do matter in quests but the general direction of the story is set.

Yes! Truly a unique movie. The paparazzo fly eating literal shit will stick with me for the rest of my life!

Eh, the article mentions how the service didn't quite catch on anyway. So probably an easy decision for Nvidia because they didn't make enough money to be profitable. So I doubt think this is a case of a corporation doing the right thing but a corporation doing the right thing for it's bottom line.

Well, MDMA tastes very salty.

While I guess you ask because you want to know if the story of the first is important to the second and I can't answer that because I only played the first. But If you like hard but rewarding Metrodvania games and you are interested in the weird and interesting religious/horror pixel aesthetic I say: definitely play the first Blasphemous!

[-] Schaedelbach@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but only because Reddit wants to become more than they are! All the coins, nfts (yes, they already sell them), useless functions and redesigns they implemented over the years, while simultaneously giving a shit about what made Reddit useful and interesting. They had a chance to be better than the rest and give us (and by that I mean user who used Reddit often) a way to pay for what we liked but more and more they pushed people like me away with all the convoluted and microtransactiony way to spend money.

Eh, whatever. I like it here better now!

Any tips how you pull stuff to read out of Reddit? RSS or something else?

[-] Schaedelbach@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

I was actually interested and ready to spend more than I'd like to admit because I never played the first RDR. But 50 Dollar which would probably translate to 60. Euro in my region is just to much! Espacialy considering there are so so many great older games (I got Dragons Dogma for 12 € at a sale for example) for reasonable prices available everywhere.

So, I probably won't be playing this port in the foreseeable time.

[-] Schaedelbach@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it works now for me. Thanks for the heads up!

I play Dragons Dogma DA for weeks now and I still love how fresh the combat feels everytime you change vocation. Right now I am a magic archer and I pretty much spend all the weight I can carry on blast arrows. This plus the skill where I can double zoom in on enemies from far away and do A TON of damage makes me the biggest danger in all of gransys at the moment. I can't stress this enough: the combat in this game is just so good and varied it's absolutely insane!

But!

I just can't stop thinking about how great it would be if Dragon's Dogma had lore and quests like the third Witcher! I feel like Capcom tried with a handful of quests like the one with the dude from the village who constantly gets lost and you have to rescue him. Or some main storyline quests also can be exciting. And yet, most quests are kill quests with just a little textbox explaining who wants what killed.

Dragons Dogma made me realize how much of Witcher 3 is actually carried by the writing, the lore, the world and the interesting characters interacting in it and how bland, almost bad the combat is.

So now I wish CD Red would hire the people responsible for the combat in Dragons Dogma for the next Witcher! Sounds like a perfect game in my book!
