Getting back to Prodeus. I wasn't sure if I'd have any problems with the visuals, but so far it's been a pretty good time. watch.cney.stream
I'd argue Mastodon's more that speed (and I'm on there too) - I'm very wary that this could ultimately end up being the next dumpster fire a few years down the line, though I'm slightly more hopeful since Dorsey left and Bluesky has actually been taking moderation requirements a bit more seriously.
I wanted to switch once I saw news of them sneaking copilot onto taskbars without consent and popping windows 11 nag screens (not that my PC can run 11 in its current state anyway). There's also the fun fact that my parents' older PC locks up for hours every time windows 10 tries to update...
My Ys X demo playthrough is... 8 minutes over the maximum time of a youtube video. Guess I might need to split by chapter after all. (The sad thing is if you take out my digging through options at the beginning and talking about my thoughts at the end, it'd fit)
Dude, same. Started using Linux full-time again in May of this year, after not having done so for close to 2 decades.
Deeply sad news from the Quake community today. Dustin "Tronyn" Geeraert has passed away at 42. His signature giant maps made him stand tall amongst the best mappers. You can find his work below, play a map or two and honour him - www.quaddicted.com/reviews/?fil...
(To be clear, this is kind of awesome and I hope this encourages other companies to get back into the practice! But they gotta set players' expectations accordingly! lol)
One final note though, I guess: good lord, the Ys X demo is too long to be called a demo. It's practically a 90's shareware episode, i.e. a significant consecutive chunk of the entire game. It is NOT just bits and pieces stitched together to expose important mechanics within a couple of hours.
There are other gameplay aspects I'm also not sold on, but I'll give those more of a chance for me to get used to them. But the return of a tired-out feature surrounded by more padding feels disappointing. Again, the rest of the game is strong enough that I'm still looking forward to playing it.
Initially I thought "it'd be cool if they come out of the ship's cabins/decks" NOPE they just materialize out of thin air. Feels like absolutely the lowest-effort part of the game in terms of potential attention to detail. Not only did an unwanted feature return for a 3rd game, it feels phoned in.
