Because Lemmy itself is developed by the same folks who run .ml instance. Luckily there is piefed and mbin, which are compatible.

Yeah, Cannibal Corpse came to my mind too. It was Butchered at birth, to be precise.

Instructions unclear. Burning fossils should cause global warming, not global spikes on both ends.

I’d add Back to the Future, it’s pretty consistent IMO.

The Art of the Deal

I’d say the other option is being patient gamer. I only buy at discounts year(s) after release. It’s a win win in my book:

• it’s way cheaper
• no beta testing, games are patched by the time
• the moment of purchase I might have a PC that is powerful enough for older game
• if the game had denuvo, it would probably be gone at the time due to its licensing costs

You’re right. It’s not point and click adventure. The controls resembles it though, you point and click and Andreas goes there. That’s where similarities end.

Also you have a point the pacing is really slow. The game I played before Sentiment was Amid Evil, which is old school fast paced boomer shooter, so the switch was pretty brutal. But in the end it felt somehow “relaxing”? So much shit happens so fast IRL so I found myself coming to the game to actually enjoy the slow progression. But I can see how people might dislike it. I like reading books and I read slow so I’m used to slow progression.

I finished Pentiment yesterday. It’s fantastic. I was fighting with clunky controls a bit at the start, but I’m really glad I did not give up.

RPG elements (i.e. character progression) are very basic, gameplay-wise it’s like crossbreed between point and click adventure and walking (& talking) simulator. No action whatsoever, just walking and talking. And still it’s a great game. How? It’s all about the story, characters and your interactions with them. All writing is great, as we can expect from Obsidian. The entire game I wanted to progress further and further just to see what happens next, how people react to what you do, how tables turn and the game did not disappoint in this regard. Also art style, sound effects (like writing sounds when dialogs roll) and fragments of music helps it a lot to get that “medieval” atmosphere.

I won’t spoil the story in case there are still people who haven’t played it yet, I’ll just tell the game has three acts, where first one is the most non-linear and open and each subsequent one is more narrow and linear as the story continues. And while it might look like it’s limiting, it fits the storytelling well, so no problem with me. There are quite a few story twists during the game so I honestly enjoyed it a lot and I didn’t know how it would wrap up to the very end.

The game gets 5/5 from me and I can highly recommend it to everyone seeking calm gameplay focused on story and characters. It is similar to games like Disco Elysium in this regard, although the gameplay is still very different. It’s also one of those games you want to start over right away to see how different choices you make alters the story and the ending, which doesn’t happen very often (at least not to me). Thumbs up!

Not about lyrics or so, just the mad intro itself…

That sucks, honestly.

Same here. I have 80-90 Mbps download with up to 20 Mbps upload max at best conditions. Still better than no internet.

I’ve been hearing about this TempleOS a lot lately. You might try that maybe?

I’m on Tumbleweed for years with no major issues. I messed it up couple times myself (switching to Wayland and also pipewire among others) but there’s Snapper to save my ass. To see the update bork the system? Happened once I believe. Also solved by snapper and waiting a week.

Sure, updates are available almost daily, but they’re not forced. I update when I have time/will. Sometimes twice a week sometimes after months. Still solid.

And here I am thinking they were members for years or decades…

It feels like he’d come back anytime soon and say “gotcha mfers”…

I didn’t know about ctrl+pgdn, but even if I did, it’s impossible to do it left handed without lifting right hand from mouse or left hand from usual placement.

As far as OS goes, I barely ever use alt+tab. I almost completely switched to Meta+ number keys where I have pinned windows I use the most. Alternatively I do meta+tab to show KDE overview.

For me it’s preferred the default way. I have plenty of tabs open, often switch between multiple of them and when I tried to use “switch to last used” I got confused almost instantly. I just kept losing track of where I was and what I wanted and what will be “last one” next time.

The default way I always see tab bar and know exactly where ctrl+(shift+)tab will get me and what is next/last.

I wasn’t hungry anyways…

Ah, OK, thanks. Now I remember I’ve seen some ridiculous photo of Orange man with golden plaque. Thought it was a joke/meme/AI slop, turns out it’s real, lol.
