  • When CPUs were a lot slower you could genuinely get noticeable performance improvements by compiling packages yourself, but nowadays the overhead from running pre-compiled binaries is negligible.

    Hell, even Gentoo optionally offers binary packages now.

  • Now imagine the same meme but with Gentoo and LFS

  • Mostly games that don't fit into an existing category that I don't feel like creating a dedicated category for. Like I could create a stealth category for Thief and Hitman, but it would only contain those two games. Then there's games like Transistor, Cloudpunk, Spiritfarer, etc where I just don't know how I could even categorize them.

  • Ubuntu in Nobody (slightly nsfw), great movie too.

    It checks all the boxes. Pinging some random IP, checking their python version, installing pip updates, the output of ls -l /etc, all in a virtualbox VM. Clearly a professional hacker. /s

  • The extent of my Digimon knowledge is this animation and OP's image.

    Do... Do digimon just transform into women? is that an actual thing in the show?

    I will not google this question.

  • I mean, if you've already paid for the games in the past, and you're going totally DRM free anyway... I feel like you're morally all good to go sailing.

  • My problem with most Souls-likes is the slow/clunky (for lack of a better word) combat. I've bounced off Code Vein, The Surge, and Elden Ring (which was a refund instead of a backlog) over this. I want to try them again with an open mind at some point though, just with adjusted expectations.

    Sekiro on the other hand I really liked the combat of, the reason it got backlogged is because I got tired of fighting through all the grunt enemies between deaths to bosses/mini-bosses. I like difficult bosses if I can immediately try again upon death (a la Furi), but it felt like Sekiro was wasting my time in comparison because I had to GET to the boss again for each attempt. The grunts didn't pose enough of a challenge to be interesting, just enough to slow me down.

    I'm not sure if that's a common thing throughout the game, or if it was just in the areas leading up to the point where I stopped, but I am definitely planning on giving it another shot either way. It's been a few years since I last played it.

  • I avoid early access in general, so I've only ended up with a handful from game bundles.

  • Sekiro, Code Vein, The Surge, and Steel Rising.

    Honestly the first three are candidates for the "Dropped" category, I've started and given up on them before. I want to give them each one more chance at some point.

  • Very much intentional since I don't own a headset at the moment. If I ever get one again, I'll give the category an emoji to push it back towards the top lol

  • One of my favorites, I can't wait for the sequel

  • Steam @lemmy.ml

    Do you overthink your Steam categories or are you normal?

  • A lot of these games are pretty short and playing on my Steam Deck during lunch breaks at work is responsible for several completions. I also basically never play online multiplayer games.

    Shorter games is the biggest factor though. Just for fun I combined my time in To the Moon, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Jusant, Sprawl, Toem, ExoOne, Ghostrunner 2, Loddlenaut, Unpacking, Lunistice, Up left out, Naboki, Hook 2, and Inside, and the total number of hours it took to beat all of those was 37.

    I'm guessing you probably have more than 37 hours in your favorite online game this year, I just spend my hours on different games lol

  • Corn Kidz 64 looks super fun, I will definitely be picking that up!

  • lol when I was reviewing my HLTB log for this post, I had the same thought. "I did all that this year?!" The benefit of mostly playing shorter games, I suppose.

    Sea of Stars has been on my radar for a while. I'm not huge on turn-based combat, but it looks so good!

  • Patient Gamers @sh.itjust.works

    What games did you complete in 2024?

  • Finally picked up the Cyberpunk DLC. Got Pacific Drive as well.

    Still deciding on:

    Dead Cells - I found two roguelites I actually like this year (Dome Keeper and Hades) and want to see if I can go three for three.

    Dragons Dogma and Stalker - Games with recent sequels I've never touched. For $5/piece I'm tempted to give both a try.

    Dying Light 2 - Been in the mood for some dumb open world fun recently, and I refuse to buy anything from Ubisoft to fill that void. This seems decent and I liked the first one.

  • Same here. I really enjoy Nonagon Infinity but haven't been able to get into any other album of theirs.
