PCs. Gaming laptop underperform for price, are larger than non gaming laptops, and generally are less serviceable & durable. Just the entire market segment lags behind.

Definitely imo not better than LiS 1 but wasn’t terrible. If you liked LiS and are looking for something else to play I’d give it a shot.

Here’s a few on reports:

-If you think it merits a report report it.

-If you’re unsure if it breaks a rule DM a mod.

-Idealy on a report write the rule # broken. If you’re typing past three sentences it’s may have unnecessary info.

-If someone is breaking a “don’t be mean” rule, the answer isn’t for you to break it too.

Here’s a few non report ways you can help:

-Set a positive tone.

-A lot of good posts/comments probably never get heard because people think it’s too lower effort or no one is interested.

-Crosspost to related communities to help people find related communities.

I really liked the dialogue system in the first game. Probably the best of it’s type. Hope they expand on it.

Maybe it could be a benefit for asking questions to NPCs devs didn’t think you’d want to ask that. Like asking a city resident where the market is. Probably not today but perhaps one day.

Any one see any pictures arise from this yet? I played the game on launch then again half a year ago and don’t recall seeing any of these.

If you aren’t risk adverse I hear undersea welders make a ton.

Contracting someone to use an artwork they made of your character would implicitly grant a license for them to make commercial profit off of that transaction.

Might be an unpopular take but the Red Dead Redemption 2 campaign. I’ve tried twice to start a second campaign but it’s so slow. The first time around the narrative carries it, so it doesn’t feel so slow. But knowing what happens next takes that away. The worst part is how ridged it is with mission failure/success conditions. It removes room for creative solutions.

This is not to say it wasn’t wonderful to play once. But it plays like they wanted to make a movie not a game.

Just now realizing for the first time slrpk.net doesn’t stand for “slurp k . net”

Fixed thanks!

Completely different angle towards the question but Metro 2033 (and sequels) might be a good source of inspiration. Not space themed but there might be some elements that can be a source of inspiration.

It’s about a post nuclear war Moscow where to survive humanity has set up a series of interlinked communities in the underground metro tunnels. The book talks a lot about the daily life in the stations. One is known for growing mushrooms used in tea. One was burnt down leading the rest of the system to strictly control fires. Another gained a reputation as a capital like station because it’s entrance was next to a university and government building.

Not a true hard sci fi book (has things like irradiated mutants) but a lot of thought went into the logistics of living in the metro.

He never asked for this.

Comic sans is a perfectly valid font and exceptional at its intended role. But it is problematic when used in anything other than a very casual environment.

It’s a great choice for something like a web comic. But not for a law firm.

It has a cooler logo than Chrome or IE.

I think you’re misinterpreting their point. Saying someone is gay isn’t an insult unless you mean it to be.

If you say that your homosexual friend is gay, that’s not bigotry. Because well they are gay, plus there’s nothing wrong with being gay. But if you say someone is gay just because they do something you dislike that is. Because you’ve used it as a negative term.

No they don’t have to be older. If I had a friend who was a year older than me and I said “battle passes, looter shooters, and tik tok are dumb” he could call me a total boomer.

It’s about someone harnessing an older perspective.

A game like Tarkov stands in drastic comparison to a game like Quake. Compare the weapon selection (many guns for one role vs distinct but limited) or gameplay loop (enter zone->loot->fight to extract vs spawn->kill->die)

Quake, Battlefield 4, Rainbow 6 Siege, PUBG, and Tarkov are all FPS games but they’re drastically different in design.

A strict definition is hard. The first thing that came to my mind was ‘like quake’.

Fps games have come in phases. Most recently looter shooters, before that battle royals, before that hero shooters. And quite early in that chain you had boomer shooters.

Fixed pov would certainly be a step down that path but I wouldn’t call it a requirement. If Quake got a faithful remake with all the advancements of 2024 and non of the industry trends that’d be a boomer shooter.

If you made a brand new arena shooter with no classes and an array of ~8 distinct weapons (think one rocketlauncher, one SMG, one pistol etc.) laid across the map focused on something like TDM or KotH, that could be a boomer shooter.

It’s kind of like porn, you know it when you see it.

Certified zoomer here to explain. This boomer games tag is not about old games. It’s about games that match what a boomer thinks of as an FPS (as viewed probably by a zoomer). The top 3 most popular games are made in 2020, 2023, and 2023.

Basically if the game play for the game was the style of a pre 2000 shooter it would qualify for the tag. But it could have come out yesterday.
