Hi! I’ll be participating in a hackathon next month in the hardware division. I was thinking of making something sollarpunk inspired. I’m posting this to ask for inspiration....
If you want to hide something it implies that there is shame in it.
Edit: I didn’t finish my thought. My bad. I meant in cases like this, not in general. There are multiple exclusions to my above statement. It’s what I get for being half asleep and on the internet.
I live in MN. I’m stoked. I’ve been eating edibles (full THC edibles have been legal here for awhile now) and will probably continue to do so, but I’m glad smoking is now legal as well.
We just added Alexandrite to the server, it’s an alternative desktop UI for Lemmy created by Sheodox who worked tirelessly to make the necessary changes to we could host it ourselves here. So go to a.lemmy.world and have a look!...
Totally my fault, but other than not reading that it was not designed for mobile and getting so excited that I tried it on my phone and wondering why it wasn’t working, I really love it! It’ll be my main theme on my laptop now. Any plans to also design a mobile interface?
Edit: found out there is already an alternate mobile interface thanks to the comments below. I’ll give that a try later. I do really like the color scheme of Alexandrite though.
Hey, thanks for replying. That’s great to hear! It’s looking great on my laptop. I’d really like to be able to use it on my phone as well. Excellent work!
Hello all, this is the first post in a series of posts I’ll be making weekly to drum up some diverse discussion relating to all different aspects of gaming. I figured I would start with what I know, and so the first topic is thus: roguelike games. (If you think any of the below description is wrong or misleading, let me know -...
Most of it boils down to death as a core mechanic. I’m also a pretty casual game player and most of the games I like are fairly laid back, so the difficulty is also a factor. Although I do like difficult games sometimes, I don’t like games designed to kill you easily, if that makes sense. I dislike grinding and most leveling systems, so making a game have grinding as a necessity for someone like me who’s going to need it is frustrating. I feel like I’m just dying a bunch to get “level ups” so that I can actually play the game. Feel free to ask clarifying questions on this. It’s a bit difficult for me to explain, I’m finding.
For the record and to hopefully explain with an example, I do like that they exist for people that like them and some games are fairly clever with it. Hades, for instance, makes a lot of sense to have a death mechanic because you’re trying to escape the underworld. It’s also a really clever game in general and I wish I could get over the difficulty and meta progression thing to play it. If it was a less difficult ARPG I’d personally like it more, but it wouldn’t contain the thing that makes it what it is and I think I’d rather it exist as it does for people who like that. I also love the idea of descendants being your respawn that they used in Rogue Legacy.

Nvidia drivers aren’t nearly as bad as most make them out to be. If you already have one, I’d say give it a try anyway with a distro that offers good support for them.
