I bought hades 2 last week and already have almost 30 hours. Those games have the most satisfying difficulty curve. The first time you fight a boss it’s overwhelming and maybe even feels unfair, but smash cut 10 tries later where you’re nailing a no-hit and thinking “hey maybe this boss needs a buff actually”
And the presence of “god mode” means I can recommend it to literally anyone, regardless of how apt they are for ARPGs!
For FPS games I like setting up regular joystick camera, and then configuring one of the touchpads to also be low sensitivity camera control + gyro. Once you get used to it, it feels real precise!
I also struggled to get photoshop up and running on my linux machine, I was even going for cs6 too funnily enough. Purely out of exasperation I ended up trying photogimp, and I haven’t looked back since.
I think the look they’re going for is like, current gen photoshop essentials? I don’t really care, it’s close enough to cs6 that it doesn’t feel like I’ve had to relearn anything.
This echoes a sentiment I’ve been feeling recently. Playing something like minecraft or terraria scratches an itch that more straightforward games just can’t reach. Like it’s easier to trick my brain into thinking I’m being productive.
I started making whacky artistic progress after I started sketching shitty little project plans. Weird improvements too, like now I can imagne taking something apart and picture all the individual bits fitting together. Learning by doing rather than practicing just to practice is like night and day for me.
I straight up blocked the entire lemmy.world instance over this hypothetical. Too many people actually tried comparing this to discrimination against POC and Jewish folk.
Honestly? No love lost, I just see less shitty memes and bad takes now.
The first ferangi in statfleet loses a leg and gets PTSD so hard he becomes addicted to managing a VR casino with his new best friend, the holographic lounge singer.
e: I completely forgot the best episode of ds9, “It’s 1953, America is racist and Benny Russell is crazy.”
I’m surprised to find I’m just straight up not interested in GTA anymore. I’m not sure what changed, but I don’t even think I’ll be going out of my way to look at reviews for this next one.
You seem to think you know a whole lot about how I interact with men. The only thing you’ve been given is “I’m cautious” and you’re comparing me to, in your words, a horrible alcoholic.
I am not you, my life is not yours.
You can be polite, nice, compassionate, etc. without TRUSTING someone. You can do right by people without giving them your trust. A lack of mutual trust does not perclude being a good person.
Implicit trust in a stranger is at best naivety, at worst ignorance.
Is it a different, better game?
