DDOS against a little self hosted instance isn’t really a concern I’d have. I’d be more concerned with the scraping of private information, ransomware, password compromises, things of that nature. If you keep your edge devices on the latest security patches and you are cognizant on what you are exposing and how, you’ll be fine.

What a grand and intoxicating innocence.

Dammit. I didn’t think of them. I’m so heartless.

I played Blades for a little while until it got too ‘gimme gimme’ about me paying. Then I stopped. Not paying to win.

Yeah, the exposition was part of what made DE weaker to me. Too much plot lead to losing the plot. The gameplay was fun enough overall, and I enjoyed a lot of the changes. But it was also too fuckin much keyboard ballet and pattern recognition for my tastes. If I want to kill something in a way that’s not the prescribed way, I want to be able to do that. But it became a formula and that’s not a playstyle I like because it bores me. It becomes math homework. Couple that formulaic approach with the fuckin massive swarms of unrelenting enemies and you end up having to fight like a robot. I preferred the 2016 mantra of fight like hell.

Lol to be fair, if you are in a thread on Doom, Disco Elysium isn’t something I’d expect seen or abbreviated.

I can see a lot of DE Fans not enjoying this. But DE was a weaker entry to me so I’m excited to play this one.

Looks like they toned it down from DE

It would be the most on brand thing to do too imo.

Yeah it’s relying in star power and the drooling masses to get money. It’s an awful awful attempt and it’s extremely apparent from the trailers that this is going to be hot fucking garbage. The only thing that would potentially save it, is if all this shit was promo trolling and the actual movie used completely different better suited people with better lines etc.

But not at odds with running a corporate environment.

Enshrouded has no plans for mods from what I’ve heard so far. Which basically killed the game for me. Not going to bother with it because there are some mechanics that would irritate me too much to enjoy the game. Mods would’ve fixed it.

Lmao the lag in that setup has to be ridiculous. Like you mentioned, tbs games and other slow games only lol

I really don’t care so long as the game is good. I get tired of seeing features that could be fun thrown in as bait. But in reality come out half baked and not fun. Make it fun. If that includes fun coop, awesome. If not, I’m glad it wasn’t shoe horned in.

I think too many people get upset about swearing. It brings a strong emphasis, it’s not disrespect imo. Knowing how Linus is, I’d take that response in stride. I appreciate his direct approach especially to the brazen arrogance of someone too full of themselves to see themselves as wrong. It wouldn’t be a great way to start a conversation, but as an ender it’s terribly effective. He called a fucking idiot a fucking idiot. That shouldn’t be toxic. Not everything that hurts someone’s tender feels is toxic. The intent should be taken into consideration.

There are few games that I wish I could selectively erase my memory of, this is one of them. Just so I could play it again brand new. Love that game so much

I wish these idiots would quit trying to tell the people playing the game that they are wrong for not liking it. Like, no man, listen to them, this is feedback. You can’t take all of it without a pinch of salt but if you see a common theme, then you should address it.

All the effects are highly game dependent for me. Except for motion blur. Fuck motion blur. Worst fucking idea ever. Shit already blurs when you move it fast why make it worse…

Thanks!

I wouldn’t know personally. I don’t use linux for games except on my steam deck, so I don’t have any knowledge on the subject. That does make some sense though if WINE relies on tricking software into thinking it’s Windows.
