Just spreading awareness about whatever the fuck Mojang thinks they’re doing. Given their enforcement of the EULA, or the lack thereof, this probably isn’t going to have as huge of an impact, but I think it’s still something worth talking about....
It’s always amusing to me when a game has a huge download size but is also an overhead view game and you probably can’t even get the camera close enough to the world objects to see the full texture detail.
Yeah looks similar to Divinity Original Sin 2. I installed a camera mod on that so I could get lower and closer, but that of course caused some weirdness in the skybox.
Wherever I go, I often see the sentiment “This website has ads, so it’s trash” pop up in conversations. And honestly I don’t quite get why. 90% of the internet has always had ads, you just scroll past them and mind your business. At least they’re personalized now so you can pick a topic you like instead of diapers and...
Ads as a general concept are ok to me, otherwise a lot of the Internet that is free will either go away or cost money. It’s just how many ads and what type. Pop-up ads are bad, too many ads are bad, ads that are deceptive are bad. They need to be small, curated, non-intrusive, and non-deceptive.
I’m looking for some nice local co-op games for 2-4 players. Please tell me your favourite ones that work well with controllers on a docked Steam Deck!...
Agreed on most points, but if you try to do anything unusual on Steam Deck like install Heroic Launcher or get emulators working, you fully realize you are on Linux.

Subscription models only make sense for an app/service that have recurring costs. In the case of Lemmy apps, the instances are the ones with recurring hosting costs, not the apps....
I can see both sides of this. I don’t usually update an app unless I’m having problems that are fixed in a later update.
Ongoing development of an app can be for various things. For things like bugfixes to existing code, I don’t think we should necessarily pay for that. For brand new features that weren’t promised before and didn’t exist before there could be a case for paying for that.
Bug free is not possible, but there are certainly degrees of bugs. If I pay for software that is supposed to balance my checkbook and it has errors in the math, I would expect those errors to be fixed or my money returned. If one of the buttons is 2px out of alignment, it’s not a big deal. The software should at least functionally do what you paid for it to do, without any additional expense. IMHO.
The more I think about it, it seems that long-term happiness is something many people spend their lives seeking OR they believe it’s something they used to have and lost....
Sure. Happiness is something you need to curate, and it’s a state of mind. Lowered expectations can help. I don’t need a huge house and expensive cars and lots of material possessions. That is just more to maintain and pay for.
If I have my health and my family and friends are reasonably healthy/happy and I have free time to spend as I please, I’m happy. I try to play as much as I work, that’s the balance that works for me.

It’s a great game, very cool and crazy interactions can happen. But I never got totally invested in the map and story. That may be because I was playing coop. The difficulty is a bit tricky, at one level constantly retreating and throwing barrels is the only way to barely win. Go one notch down on difficulty and I never lose a battle.
Also it irks me that physical armor prevents me from knocking someone over.
But even thought I may never finish it, it’s a very unique game.

Our business does electronic assembly and sells the products online and sells web services. We get UPS and FedEx and USPS, and have a serviceable internet connection.
I think if wages were higher people would have less problem parting with some of their income. But when living expenses are so close to net income it’s tough.
The question started by a joke about t*he hell for tall guys to find fitting T-shirts, like size L shows your navel every time you raise the hands, and size XL expect you to have some beer belly so you end-up floating on the clothes.

Sometimes every day, sometimes not for a week or so. I usually play with it docked to my tv, I have a wireless mouse and 2 wireless controllers. I get interested in certain games I think would be fun playing on the TV, like coop games and right now Just Cause 3. I also got back into emulators, they are fun on the deck and TV.

problem finding apps for lemmy
