I pre-order games I know I’d buy on launch. Some titles I just know I’ll play, regardless of reviews - E.g. Sequels to games I love like the Witcher 3 or any of the Dying Light games.
I’ll also do Early Access if I want to play the game early and am okay with jank, E.g. Hades 2, Windblown.
Looks great, good job!

Games@lemmy.world•Divinity - Cinematic Announcement TrailerEnglish
71·1 month agoNot to be pedantic, but your critique of the existence of an announcement trailer feels like walking into a pizza shop, ordering a pizza, then getting mad because you wanted a burger.
If you don’t like announcement teasers then don’t watch them and just wait for the reveal trailer to release?
It usually goes announcement -> teaser -> reveal -> the rest
That’s a great one. There really is an xkcd for everything.
The humor is bad, but that dog shit excuse for art is unforgivable IMO. Even if the jokes were good I’d rather look at something else.

2·2 months agoThere is no risk of others finding it if you don’t turn on federation. It becomes a fully private instance. Just set federation to false.
Been playing it solo for a day - I definitely avoid pvp where I can, and even do my best to help other Raiders if they’re chill.
It’s a good game.

6·3 months agoAnd they were posting the same articles while Rise was out.
Like, just pick one of the following titles for a pre-DLC monster hunter game and there’ll be low effort reporting written about it:
- Monster Hunter game too easy!
- Monster Hunter game too short!
- Monster Hunter game need more monster!
- Food videos were better in the last game!
- Last game had better mechanics, where is xxx
I love Wilds, think it’s the best MH game I’ve played since GU. Can’t wait for its expansion to drop. I’m ready for master rank.

Games@lemmy.world•ARC Raiders Just Became Steam's Most Popular Extraction Shooter and It's Not Even CloseEnglish
2·3 months agoYep, which is precisely why it’s my favorite. I think it’s a really well balanced game. Now if it wasn’t for the crappy main menu UI (which, granted, they’ve really improved as of late) and the bizarre bugs (which they haven’t) it would be almost perfect.

91·3 months agoAs a guy with over 2.5k hours in Hunt, I think it really comes down to people just enjoying different things. I can no longer play standard match based shooters, anymore, as I find the lack of consequence leads me to not caring about the outcome of games.
Incidentally I’ve also returned to playing Eve, because losing a level 50 hunter you spent a few hours leveling up? That’s nothing compared to losing a ship you spent half a year working towards.
Basically I’m addicted to lossy progression in games. Not claiming it’s an end-all-be-all mechanic, but damn if it hasn’t made me love games again.

32·3 months agoIt’s the install size of docker and any container it brings down with it.
Really, I just don’t like the idea of being forced to use something massive like docker for a single program.
Just give me a binary and let me set up hardening via systemd - or at least a source tarball or something.
Sincerely: someone who thinks software should not primarily be distributed through docker.

81·3 months agoReally didn’t like Immich because of its massive install size and being forced to use Docker - this project is exactly what I was looking for. One simple go binary with no extra hoops to get it up and running? Delicious.
Installed, will be following it for sure! Thanks for the excellent software.
GNOME is a great desktop environment. Ignore the people here who are whining; there’s always a bunch in any DE-related Linux post, regardless of the DE being discussed.
But, just to add to the discussion, KDE is the only real alternative as far as feature parity is concerned (that isn’t just a fork).

News@lemmy.world•NYC Mayor Eric Adams vetos bills guaranteeing minimum pay to grocery delivery workers
11·5 months agoWas new to the city, had a bunch of liberal friends who lived in Harlem that supported him and waxed poetic about his potential. The ex-cop thing was seen as a boon, at that point.
Things started going down hill real fast in my eyes when the whole Turkish airlines scandal broke.
In retrospect I should have listened to my other liberal friends who warned me against him. There’s a lot of regret, on my part.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Best game engine to start with as a beginner to gamedev and linux?
2·6 months agoHi, game developer here.
If you’re just starting out, Unity is a bit more mature and established - and it works fine on Linux. There are also quite a few resources for getting started that apply to the current version out there (E.g. It isn’t rapidly changing too much at the moment for someone just starting out). It also has the best mobile support of any engine out there, so if you want to test your game on a phone that’s your best bet.
Godot is popular among hobbyists, and could be a fun start, but I don’t know of any serious games being made in it yet (having said that, I know quite a few folk who are currently evaluating it, so maybe in a few years).
But, really, my recommendation is to focus on learning a programming language first. Figure out the ins and outs of basic C#, then start learning about an engine that utilizes it.
I’m only saying this because it sounds like you’re looking into how to build games, not just one specific role of the process: if that’s the case, starting with some basic C# tutorials/classes would help a lot.
Once you know the be basics it will be much simpler to work with an established Engine, and jumping from one to another will also have less friction.
Finally, remember that scratch is a good tool to learn about how to program. If you’re feeling like you’ve mastered it, now is a great time to move on to a proper programming language.





Very disappointing when that happens, I agree - but that’s the risk we take as people who pre-order!
My nightmare pre-order was Star Citizen, to the point that I now despise Kickstarter.
