Linux Mint isn't the answer for Windows refugees anymore

I always hate it when people seem to try making the decisions for others based on what they use.

It was bad enough when Ubuntu was losing faith with people because of its poor decision making, now we got you here saying Linux Mint is not the answer?

Confusing people on an already confusing mess on which distro to choose when leaving windows is not how you win favorability with linux. Mint is the choice because it is not pitching freshly disgruntled Windows users into steep learning curves from the get-go. If you push them into something like Arch, you're going to have people both pissed at Arch and at you for making their experience miserable.

Sequels are meant to be drastic improvements from the first game. Like everything. Visuals, story continuation, character development, new mechanics and features .etc

The developers who made Terraria contemplated on a Terraria 2 and they were faced with the decision; continue developing Terraria as is or just try to make a Terraria 2.

Seems like they've instinctively chosen to keep supporting Terraria as is, because what can you do with a Terraria 2? When so many ideas and creations have been poured into one game? It sounded like Terraria 2 was going to be the same.

do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs?

I do. I'm actually making eggs right now. I just know how to make them not burnt. Maybe people suck at cooking eggs, I don't know.

Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding

Jump

That is exact;y how I feel about MMORPGs. Limited event items, items available at specific levels but you're going to be there grinding and grinding for hours. You might not even get that thing anyways until what was 9 hours of grinding turns into 7 days of grinding. That's not progressing, that's sweatshop levels of work. How is this fun? How is this rewarding? You go through all of that and all you get is maybe a few pats on the back before everyone is back at the woodwork again.

I don't like any game that makes you feel like you've got to live on it to go anywhere. Sure, I play Diablo 2 which by guilt, can fall into the same category. But I make that an exception per my preferences. It's like that's the only game I'll only have room for that I don't mind doing it for, but any other game, I can't be bothered and it is just dropped dead cold.

This is also why people hate mobile games because their premise largely can constitute dark patterns.

Developers who make these games want you to have a sense of "pride and accomplishment" (like EA expected you to). But all I feel at the end of the day? "FUCK YOU DEVELOPERS, GO TO FUCKING HELL!!"

Take-Two CEO Responds to Stock Price Drop Following Google Genie Announcement: 'I Think People Are Confusing Tools With Hits' - IGN

Right, tools, okay then.

You mean, tools that'll enable you to make even lazier games while laying off the people who've been upholding your shitty company's existence. But you know, Take-Two and especially Randy you fucktard, go for it. Go and make a game entirely off of Google's Genie toy and see how far you get.

If you had to talk to a stranger, what would you want it to be about?

Jump

fyrilsol @kbin.melroy.org 1d ago

Depends on the subject. I do actually like to hear someone's passion in something. I typically don't like myself dominating a conversation all of the time, so I'm almost always tossing the chance to the other person to speak their mind. People always told me that they're sorry for rambling but I'm encouraging it because I like to listen.

I get more tired of hearing myself talk than I do others.

The Nintendo Switch tops the DS to become the company's best-selling console of all time

Jump

fyrilsol @kbin.melroy.org 1d ago

Don't do that, just quietly block the noise as much as possible. I've now blocked any and all politically-based instances and magazines because getting too caught into politics, just makes you all around feel miserable about everything.

And the people who're so gung-ho on hating Nintendo, are the kinds of people that want you to bathe in that kind of misery. It must be taxing and exhausting to be an activist all of the time. Makes me wonder how they manage to sleep at night, if any. There are bigger things going on in the world and hating a video game company is the least of those things to get upset over in comparison.

That's what happens when people who're so defeatist from making a better change in the world do, they just pick on smaller frivolous things and tell everyone to hate on that just to cope because they're simply too powerless to do anything about the bigger things.

Games you really want to play, but can't or won't?

Jump

fyrilsol @kbin.melroy.org 1d ago

That doesn't bother me. What made me gravitate to Diablo was how they did the story. The plot of evil vs good and angels vs demons in a eternal conflict is cliche and overdone. But I liked how Blizzard handled it and I've been glued to it for a while. Mephisto is my favorite character overall and damn they're having an expansion coming soon, that revolves around him, so my temptation will be even greater.

So no it doesn't bother me that it's "too easy" or "almost impossible to die", because my idea of fun is not to have a very frustrating experience.

Agreed.

I love dark fantasy as a theme. But I can't enjoy the theme if the game is going to be padded like that. That's how you make games not fun and there's nothing fun when you're killed in one or two hits. There's challenge and then there's not fun and all soulslike games fall into the not fun part.

They really favored being a lycanthrope in that game. It's the most OP transformation, especially when you get a special ring that takes away some of the negatives of being a lycanthrope. All of your stats get maxed, you can instantly heal between transformations, you are immune from what the guards try hitting you with.

Being a vampire in Daggerfall, isn't as fun.

We all should take the time we have been given for granted, it's one of the values we really have. Because one day, we won't ever again get to enjoy what we could now. I try not thinking too hard about mortality and how eventually, I'm going to be too old to play nearly anything.
