Essence_of_Meh,

I'm not a mod, just an active user so my opinion on the first two doesn't really matter (even though I do think these would be good additions). I agree with the need for wikis as well.

That said, personally I could not care less about whether someone is online or how many people are reading specific thread - what I care about is actual interaction with other users, i.e. discussion. I treat kbin/lemmy like a forum rather than a constantly moving social-media site like Twitter so take this as you like. It's not like it would affect my use of the platform in any meaningful way.

Steam page

Online focused, with battle royale and possibly co-op campaign (store page mentions pilot stories).

Essence_of_Meh,

It does a good job at pointing out flaws with Steam UI and how they could be fixed (something Valve is apparently unable to do themselves).

While the design in this video isn't perfect, it's way better than the current shitshow and I don't see why people (especially those who know what they're doing) shouldn't remind a multibillion company they should do better.

Essence_of_Meh,

Steam page (demo available).

Essence_of_Meh,

Good job, should've link it myself... (; -_-)

There's also demo on Steam.

Essence_of_Meh,

May I interest you in Hedon Bloodrite? It's orcs instead of goblins but there's plenty of thickness.

Essence_of_Meh,

Fair enough. In that case I don't think I can be of any help at the moment but I'll keep you in mind if I stumble into something with such characters.

Essence_of_Meh,

Just Windows, Mac and Linux. There's no Android build (that's what would be needed for such tablet).

Essence_of_Meh,

I think these are new - there's a comment on the project page asking about "playing the classic Red Alert maps" and one of the devs replied they would require some modifications to work.

Besides, original missions can be played with OpenRA so I don't think they would port them here without at least adding support for the new factions (which in turn would require changes in story?).

That's just my guess based on some research though, I'm not a specialist when it comes to these projects.

Essence_of_Meh,

Man, I have the GBC re-release from LRG but haven't played it yet. I should get to it one of these days...

Can't wait to play this one as well.

Essence_of_Meh,

Besides already mentioned methods there's also Lemmy Community-Browser.

It has a search bar and ability to toggle specific instances in case you want to avoid some of them. A bit simpler version of Lemmy Explorer mentioned by @DogMuffins.

Does the advancement of AI make people apathetic about starting new projects?

I was thinking about starting a new creative project recently. But then I thought - with how quickly AI is advancing, in just a few years an AI will probably be able to do this in just minutes. So it made me feel kind of apathetic and think, “Why should I bother starting this big project now if an AI could do it for me in a...

Essence_of_Meh,

I guess it depends on your motivation for said project.

Do you enjoy the process of working on the project? Do you use it to learn new things and improve the skills required for it? Or all you care about is the end project?

If it's the last one I can see why you could get discouraged but if it's the other two then not really.

If I work on something specific I do it because I want to create this thing using my skills, experience and ideas. I also try to do as much of it as I can on my own, without using other's people assets etc. For me, the work I put in is an important of the process and each step towards completion makes me a little proud and happy that I can create something.

At the same time I'm a weirdo who tends to use less efficient methods if they aren't as fun to use when working on personal projects. I don't really care about using AI in the first place so that might skew my view a bit.

There's also the fact that AI isn't omnipotent. It makes mistakes just like us and I'd rather fix my own mistakes since this way I know what I did, how I did it and where to look when things go wrong.

Sorry for the word salad. Your post gave me a reason to spew some unfiltered thoughts about an issue I never really thought about.

Essence_of_Meh,

It actually does, funnily enough. You have to set an environment variable for it to work though.

Here's a Steam guide.

Now the question is: are they going to be complete assholes and change this check to prevent non Deck players from using it or not?

Essence_of_Meh,

How big of a group are you looking for?

mikeburnfire is pretty fun.

Most of the videos consists of two friends, Mike and Zack, playing modded Bethesda games. Their main gimmick is that they are playing games like Fallout NV in "multiplayer" but they also play other stuff (Mass Effect, Inscription, Stray to name a few).

Lot's of military stories, some great gun rants from Zack and a general feeling of just two friends having adventures together.

Over six years of content and still going strong.

I also completely forgot to mention another duo - Chip & Ironicus.

This one is a little different as they record their commentary over premade footage. They can also be a bit more... low energy (?) compared to many bigger channels but if there's one thing they (or more specifically Chip) really shine in, is the huge amount of effort put into each and every playthrough.

Pretty much every episode is released in two versions, cut and uncut commentary, to let you choose whether you want the option to focus during cutscenes etc. They are also filled with cool trivia, secrets and just good skill level in general.
They have a pretty legendary MGSV LP where Chip prepared 3 seperate playthroughs, each with a different approach (stealth, combat and goofy).

Besides that, they also have stream recordings with live commentary, a podcast and regular charity streams.

Chip worked at recently closed Volition so he could definitely use more views.

Essence_of_Meh,

Nice, federation is working again.

Essence_of_Meh,

They did mention that in addition to $100k to each engine they'll be doing a $1k/month donations as well.
