  • Why are you posting about Reddit so much and not just enjoy the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • A defining point in Internet history for that matter. This is like the Digg exodus. A paradigm shift in social media. It isn't often that we see mass migrations of Internet users from one platform to another.

    This will surely delight future digital anthropologists in their chronological studies of the Internet. We just gotta make sure our archives can last for generations.

    Hello future historians!

  • API pricing protests caused Reddit to crash for 3 hours

  • If enough of us do it, entire comment chains will be illegible lol

  • Ukraine war: Russia moves to take direct control of Wagner Group

  • Perhaps Prighozhin can go back to owning what all Private Military Company owners did before they went into the mercenary business, catering.

    Oh wait, that was only him.

  • Cities: Skylines 2 has a release date!

  • Or at the very least, multithreaded optimized. My frame rates tend to drop dramatically once the traffic bogs down the 1 CPU that it decides to unload all of its pathfinding on.

  • I remember those classics.

    SimAnt, SimEarth, SimTower, SimCopter, Streets of SimCity. Those last two were particularly cool because you could import your SimCity 2000 city into them and fly or drive around in the city you made. I thought that was the coolest thing.

  • What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs?

    Jump

  • Far Cry 5. It's probably the only game I've played that has the same songs written in totally distinct music styles. Each song, like "We Will Rise Again", is written as:

    It's amazing that all three of these songs are the same in lyrics and meaning, but their execution is completely different and had very different emotional feels as a result.

  • Jeremy Soule also wrote the Oblivion soundtrack too. I find some of his songs there to be just as good, if not better, than his work on Skyrim.

    He definitely has the golden touch for atmospheric environmental, almost otherworldly ambiance.

  • I have a confession to make... I code in Comic Sans

    Jump

  • Um, can I get this to work as a default Lemmy typeface? I love it.

    I also like Comic Sans in general, what can I say I guess that makes me a giant Eldritch tentacle monster.

  • Any recommendations for low-end, Linux-friendly games to play?

    Jump

  • I know that you can run TES 4 Oblivion decently well on Linux with a Windows emulator (WINE). I had a few odd graphics glitches like a gigantic texture of a tree just completely taking over the sky. I guess it wanted to be some kind of Yggdrasil tree or something.

    It ran well though, and on a early 2010-era laptop. I don't know about mod compatibility though.

  • Or even the first RCT as it's written in assembly. Can't get much more efficient than that, even a potato can run it.

    I'm also amazed by it. How can you write a full game that looks as good as Rollercoaster Tycoon when you're shifting bits left and right on the stack? Some kind of wizardry, that's what.

  • Cyberpunk’s expansion totally overhauls the original game | VGC

    Jump

  • The changes sound extensive enough that even if base game owners get the updates, the save file may not be compatible.

  • The Elder Scrolls 6 Announcement Trailer is Officially Five Years Old

    Jump

  • The color palette in Oblivion alone is more vibrant and saturated than the one in Skyrim. Skyrim is a lot cooler (white balancing wise) and greyer in tone, making it feel a little drab compared to the lush greens of Cyrodiil.

    At it's release though, Oblivion was the prettiest in-game forest around.

  • The Elder Scrolls 6 Announcement Trailer is Officially Five Years Old

    Jump

  • ESO's story arcs, despite being within an MMORPG, can be played single player if one is feeling particularly antisocial. There's a ton of story quests since the game has been out for a decade now that you could probably fit the entirety (content hours wise) of the Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim quest lines into it. Probably why the game is like 100 GB lol.

    Of course, as an MMO, the storyline is constrained a bit (your choices functionally don't really matter too much) since the game world can't change drastically, so you won't have an Imperial/Stormcloak type showdown that forever altered the landscape.

    Still, ESO scratches the Morrowind itch, especially their latest Necrom expansion.

    There's also Tamriel Rebuilt (Morrowind mod) that also has Necrom, but I haven't had a chance to check what they've done recently. (Last time I installed it, Firewatch was the farthest east they've gone but that was a long time ago).

  • At this point, they should just leave the 259,238 modmail messages for the admins to deal with. Let them sort through all that since this is all their doing.

  • Elon Musk Says Twitter Is Going To Get Rid Of The Block Feature, Enabling Greater Harassment

    Jump

  • QA: "I'm clicking the block button but it isn't doing anything anymore!"

    Twitter mgmt: "That's ok, instead of fixing it we'll just remove the button."

  • Reddit habit is hard to break.

    Jump

  • It helps that if something is wrong on Reddit, another redditor usually points it out since there are many eyes on any particular thread.

  • Comfort games?

    Jump

  • I mean, who doesn't really to just forget the world and instead be in a snowy mountain landscape where you can see snow drifting up the side of a distant peak, while a solemnly french horn plays in the background. Keep daydreaming friend :) it's good for you.
