flumph, to games in DayZ, Rust Teams Troll The Day Before Studio's Closure Announcement

Steam is offering refunds. Do you honestly think Valve is going to eat that cost while paying out to the devs? If someone bought the game elsewhere, do a chargeback.

There’s no reason these devs should see a shiny penny from this game.

Yeah. Unless the Day Before devs / marketing specifically bad mouthed DayZ and Rust, this really seems like a “kick em while they’re down” move.

Honestly, given the heroic / chaotic good slant of the game, it’s actually pretty annoying to play the edgy DUrge. Playing it but making all the good choices is heavily scripted and pretty nifty.

It’s pretty clear that Redeemed Durge Tav is the canonical Tav and the most interesting. All the other versions are bland in comparison.

But you can definitely get some of the interactions you’re looking for by playing an Origin character. Playing as Karlach, I definitely created non-canonical interactions with the other Origin characters.

If the AI for the ghouls from Danse Macabre is any example, they make stupid choices. The ghouls can be standing next to an enemy and waste their turn with Dash to get to another enemy.

These people don’t even read their own literature. The Catholic church’s ban on alchemy is about falsely claiming something is a valuable metal in order to pay for debts. It has nothing to do with the occult – the ban was because it’s a sin to lie / cheat / steal. A saint is even on record saying that alchemical gold is ok if the end if product is real gold.

With that context, of course God doesn’t give a shit if you use SQLAlchemy as long as you aren’t using it to defraud people. If you were defrauding people, it wouldn’t matter what tool you used.

flumph, to technology in Chrome’s Web Store review—the next big weapon in the war on ad blockers
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

I use Firefox full time but I’m bummed at the number of sites that break in odd ways when not using Chrome. As an engineer, I understand how appealing it is to only have to test in one browser, but this monopoly is the result.

flumph, to games in Baldur’s Gate 3 players demand major “quality of life” changes for inventory management
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

Ah fair point. I bet the experience is ass on the PlayStation.

The inventory management isn’t great, but between sorting by weight and latest, plus the text search, it didn’t hinder my ability to play. You basically just have to ignore the visual inventory in favor of those options.

flumph, to technology in YouTube once again ahead of uBO on Firefox; fiddling with the extension settings not working this time and DDG search is useless ... anyone got ideas?
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

YouTube doesn’t stop you from using uBO if you’re paying.

You could pay for the service with cash instead of ad views. Works on all devices without having to set up an adblocking VPN or Pi-Hole.

flumph, to games in Larian founder Swen Vincke wants more studios to make CRPGs after Baldur's Gate 3's success
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

Preach. The Act 2 to Act 3 transition is brutal. >!The BBEG is marching on the city. Better stop to catch a circus act and have ASMR sex with three hookers.!<

Even with the time they had, you can tell that Act 3 didn’t get nearly the love that Act 1 did. I imagine anything done in a rushed manor won’t have the charm.

@flumph@programming.dev avatar

Yeah, I don’t need a bot / feed for any specific service; give me an open standard like RSS any day.

flumph, to rpg in Diablo is getting a board game and tabletop RPG that will “continue the lore and story” of the video games
@flumph@programming.dev avatar

It is interesting, but it’d also be cool to see Blizzard introducing their fanbase to one of the popular indie systems like Cypher, Cortex, etc.
