They've been accused of adding ads to games or adding cryptominers but I've never found that to be true. They did try to add some silly DRM to the games that made it so the game wouldn't run if you deleted their url files but they stopped doing that after people called them out on it.
…but I don’t want to get rid of it! Been using RIF since 2011 and it’d feel so weird to take it off my home screen. I tried the Reddit app but it pollutes the front page with so much unnecessary shit that it becomes a chore to browse. Liking the look of Lemmy so far though.
Attached: 1 image I just released a really important Apollo update that adds the ability for users with remaining subscription time left to decline an automatic refund. Devs pay refunds out of pocket, and this will be about $250K, so I thank you for your consideration. ❤️ Also, this update includes an amazing "Goodbye Apollo...
Cyberpunk 2077 faced a tough reception at launch, but with the Phantom Liberty DLC nearing launch, one CDPR dev feels the RPG was better than history records....
Even on PC it was crap though. Not only was it extremely buggy but also poorly optimized. Low and unstable FPS even on my NVIDIA 3090 / Ryzen 5900X rig. It took several patches (and over a year) for performance to get better.
The game shouldn't have been a PC exclusive, it should have been delayed by a year or two (and not released on older consoles at all).
I was playing some Everspace 2 and while it sure is pretty and feels pretty good there was something lacking that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I’m only 20 hours or so into it but I just felt like it wasn’t quite living up to my memories of Freelancer....
Freelancer just nailed everything. The looks, the sounds, the world, and the story/atmosphere. On top of that it was great fun in multiplayer.
It wasn't very realistic but it didn't need to be. It was fun and easy to play. It also wasn't filled with overly complicated crafting systems or complex economy simulations.
That's one thing I really dislike about many modern games, why do they always need to have a crafting system? Take Elite Dangerous, a game I really love, even that has crafting in the form of Engineering. It's just too much hassle and it takes away the fun for me. It feels like a job.
It probably goes against the philosophy or whatever of FOSS or Lemmy itself, but why not be a little evil so that you can actually sustain yourself? Donations can bring us far, but small non-intrusive ads can be a bliss in the skies for the people actually hosting the instance. Especially if there are millions of users uploading...
Our first computer was an IBM, and the first pc game that i remember is called Kindergarten, i wish i remembered more about it though, i would love to watch on youtube and get a nostalgia boost haha
The Creation Engine is based on the Gamebryo engine that was used for Oblivion and Morrowind (though it was called NetImmerse at that time). That's why all Elder Scrolls (Morrowind and later) and Fallout (3 and later) games share the same quirks and general jankyness.
QBittorrent is better though. (feddit.ch)
