I just want to play fun games that have a great and comprehendible story.

They would also need to be natively made for PC (along with any other platform that the devs/pubs might want). I understand why console ports exist but one can wish.

Some AAA game examples/concerns off the top of my head:

MGS V ? Fun gameplay, couldn’t make head or tail of the story without viewing content from others, and still I feel it’s way too confusing.

AC ? Things were in a good direction from a story standpoint at one point in time years ago but they lost it, didn’t enjoy the new RPG-like direction as much either. Gameplay was a power fantasy thing I guess. Whether I like it or not is dependent on my mood during the session.

Skyrim ? Fun game, never got around to actually “finishing” the game because there would always be a break and I would entirely forget where and what I was doing earlier.

Souls-likes ? I don’t have a problem admitting that my skills are pretty sucky. Effort required to the rewards are pretty bad for me, and there is no particular story that I have seen other than community theories.

I’m working on my years long backlog, in case anyone wants to make recommendations it’ll probably take a long time for me to get to it if it isn’t in the current list…

Are you able to view YouTube at all with NoScript enabled ? When I tried it out last the page itself doesn’t load because everything is JS based.

I got the joke, my response was in extension to it :)

Reading this, I’m not able to interpret what emotion applies here.

To get governments interested in it… for tracking it’s own netizens… because just about everyone is dealing with CSAM!

Like many people of the Lemmy-verse, I know how to drive a manual (can’t say I am best, or better than average even).

Cannot afford to own a car in this economy. Have a geared motorcycle tho.

TL;DR of the article - Arcane > Cyberpunk Edgerunners > Castlevania > Sonic Boom > The Last of Us > The Witcher.

Yep, it ran for a whole season.

Edit: I don’t remember which season it was on, it was a couple of seasons ago. Probably just after the Ben Swolo thing became popular.

The entire joke that Last Week Tonight with John Oliver ran about this was fantastic.

Warez piracy is anyway not “stealing” since you’re not taking the digital item away, tis something which can be infinitely copied.

Like Adobe / Microsoft / Google / Meta / … maybe most large enterprises ? No question about it.

Could you elaborate on your point of them using Cloudflare ?

My understanding is that their websites would be behind Cloudflare for their CDN and anti-DDoS services, maybe WAF as well. Solely looking at CDN services essentially the options come down to Cloudflare or Akamai who have a global domination of the market.

I like the phrase “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely”.

KOSA is not the only thing one should be worried about, illiterates from UK are bringing in an Online Safety Bill which needs all services with encryption to provide a backdoor for the UK government under the reasoning of “monitoring for CSAM content”.

This doesn’t just impact UK citizens, but will do for the world.

If I recall correctly, Australia did something similar.

Interesting to see how the 5-eyes try to push similar dumb ideas together.

I just use DDG, and I was told in a different post that it fetches results through Bing.

Much like what you said, Google is better than other engines with regional results being a non-US person.

This adds up really nicely with the newest video of Razbuten “How Games Make Villains Sound Evil”

I see, but how is this different in a phone app? Wouldn’t the request still be made to a backend?

Uhh… not clear on what you’re claiming here… you can validate the traffic is going to the expected instance using a web app, without requiring any special software by running Developer tools and heading to the network tab.

Keeping the discussion of running Windows applications through Wine/Proton aside; there are a lot of little things which happen to annoy me while I am using my PopOS install for example the most recent one is my headphones don’t play any sound from the left year, it works properly on my other devices…

I’m willing to make it work, but most general users wouldn’t be. This statement continues to be true even after the huge amounts of progress Linux community has made to make a better experience.

TTY seesion is definitely not a desktop experience, the pizzaz is lacking which makes it difficult to use for all purposes. I’ve used it mainly for specialized work on servers.

You could just switch your Desktop Environment/Windown Manager with a TTY session to Ctrl+Alt+F2 (F3, …, F7) and not install any Xorg/Wayland DE on these sessions.

More drastic measures would be to install a Server version, or remove the DE/WM from the install.

You could also say it is riceist
