  • It's a pleasant surprise the CI are updating this game after launch considering the original 2014 release was pretty much immediately abandoned. As someone who actually kind of liked the original, I hope people are enjoying the remake.

  • It sounds like you'd be better off with a DE or WM that isn't gnome. The GNOME Project has been progressively sticking more and more of the customization features of the DE behind either gnome tweaks or the command line, likely to unify the experience for all users and improve the ability to provide support.

    Personally, as far as gnome-based DEs are concerned, I prefer cinnamon, but I'm fine running Mint to just have it come pre-installed. I don't know what dependencies it pulls in now if you install it standalone from Mint.

  • There were a lot of fundamental changes under the hood going from DX11 to DX12 concerning fundamental programming paradigms in the API that a lot of devs are still grappling with. It's probably just something that will take some time for people to get used to.

  • Hopefully. I don't really see Intel going toe to toe with Nvidia in the enthusiast market with the 4080/4090 but I could see them targeting something like the 4070 from Nvidia or the 7800 and future cards from AMD on their high end.

  • It's not surprising if one considers the goal of the Republican party in education is school choice ala charter schools. Stripping the public education system of it's ability to effectively do it's job has been their goal for a long time. Indoctrination is a tool that the right in the United States takes full advantage of.

  • I always figured their grocery section would end up like their in-store pharmacy,, i e., no one would use it and it would end up a vestige of a failed business model.

    It surprises me when I see people buy food from target since there are other stores with the same or similar quality items for cheaper. I don't think target has much value proposition from their own brands like Archer Farms (if that even is a target exclusive brand anymore).

    If anyone sees this comment and shops at target for their groceries, would you mind explaining why?

  • It's by Nexon anyway. If you don't play it you probably dodged a bullet. Their games are extremely P2W and they literally pioneered the earn in-game currency that you can only use to trial weapons and characters method of wealth extraction. It's been so long since I've played one of their games, but that form of microtransaction has always stuck with me as a "if I see it, I'm immediately deleting your game" approach to gaming.

  • You don't sound like you're from NA, but here in the US we have trucks that are colloquially known as "Child Killers" because when you're driving them, you literally can't see what's in front of you. They are all over the roads, and make for an extremely bad experience for people in smaller vehicles, people on bikes, and pedestrians. Not to mention, they're often driven by people that lean heavily into road rage.

  • Tbf, US companies brought this upon themselves when they agreed to China's guidelines for working within the country.

    Lots of industries in China have a barrier to entry for foreign manufacturers/businesses that require either partnering with a local Chinese business or rebadging your product to sell under a local Chinese business brand.

    Such conditions are rife for IP theft. Especially in a country that is famous for ignoring IP laws of other nations. Shenzhen doesn't even leverage IP laws at all, it's the wild west.

  • I think a lot of those CRPGs were built under the premise that your companions were meant to die as expendable fodder for the player character. I know old school Fallout was built like that. It's a real challenge keeping everyone alive till the end of 1 and 2.

  • Replaying AC Odyssey as Alexios. It's weird to see angry Kassandra.

    So far I've been disappointed in dialogue and interactions with NPCs, even in the main story, where I expected things to change between the two characters, but the dialogue has been mostly all the same.

    But hey, I get really fun, ancient Greece ship combat. 10/10 recommend the game just for that.

    Edit: Also playing through Hades for the first time since purchasing it. I love how Supergiant put their own spin on all the Gods and Demi-Gods while keeping them mostly true to their depictions in Greek myth.
