Yes, when you make it back into the tunnels, the game considers it a finished loop and advances to the next day segment, which is sort of like a save point but you can’t save your progress during a loop and come back to it. When you make it back to your “save point” at the tunnel and the day advances, if you hit escape and exit the game, the game is all “Are you sure you want to do this? All unsaved progress will be lost” - as if there were some further action you could take, but there isn’t. It’s like they had a save function in at one point but decided against it, then never fixed the exit verbiage.

I had the same complaint about Deathloop. If I’m playing the single-player only version, then why do I have to restart the loop if I suddenly have to quit? And why does the game warn me that I will lose all unsaved progress? You literally can’t save!

Ah, Good Guy Valve helping us prepare for October eh?

The problem is not capitalism […] it’s really us expecting shit to be free

No, “we” are not the problem. “We” donated and participated (by making mods) and “we” are responsible for giving the site what value it had. If it had no value, then it couldn’t have been sold.

Quit trying to blame the users for fuck’s sake.

Yay, slavery to Windows, sign me up! Now that we’re getting devices running Linux that can do gaming thanks to Valve and Steam/Proton, the last fucking thing in the world I want to do is stay on Windows. I’ve switched literally all my applications to FOSS - games are the sole remaining reason I’ve stayed on Windows for this long. Come October, I’m switching to Linux 100%.

I never used RIF but I came over at the same time due to the fuckery over mods. I quit all my mod positions that day too, no more working for Reddit for free.

Ironically, the older you get, the better video games are for you, flexing your memory and hand-eye coordination.

I don’t understand why it’s difficult to see the appeal. To me it’s just like watching TV, but you can participate.

Edit: I was never big on racing games but boy I loved Excite Truck on Wii back in the day.

So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then? I’m not really clear on how communicating freely between them works. I understand that’s how the Fediverse supposedly works, but I have a Mastodon account and I haven’t sorted out any way to post on/read lemmy content with it, so I’m not sure what the integration actually means in practical application? Maybe someone could help me understand.

Ah, you’re a troll. I see. Blocked.

So all you’ve mustered is some lame-ass ad-hominem? Have a good day

So you don’t have a suggestion. Got it.

Well then, rage against the machine for the next 30 years and see if they kill it in favor of a nice, strict language that everybody loves. Maybe you could suggest one here for consideration.

It’s not that hard to understand what it is doing and why the decision was made to make it do that. JavaScript has a particular purpose and it’s mission is not consistency.

It’s not like TypeScript doesn’t exist if you just get lightheaded at the idea of learning JavaScript’s quirks and mastering using it despite them.

Out of all those I only ever used Solaris and the most polite thing I can say is: I have no nostalgia for that time.

You started your quest for good faith engagement with “Wtf you on about?”

You’re not just a corporate simp, you’re a hypocrite as well. I don’t want to engage in conversation with people like you, there’s no point.

It’s been clear for over a decade that the Creation Engine (let’s be honest it’s still Gamebryo) has run its course. It is not a viable option for a modern game anymore. It has architectural limitations that simply prevent a modern gaming experience.

And yet, I’m having a blast with Oblivion Remastered. The problem with Starfield is that the writing sucks and the game loops aren’t fun. Because of these things it’s an unforgivable bore. Oblivion proves you’ll trudge back and forth and deal with all the copied and pasted caves in the world if the story is engaging and the gameplay loop is fun. The dated engine has little to do with Starfield’s problems.

Thank you for repeating the talking points.
