Most Scifi fans I have ran into can pretty quickly rank the four stars –BattleSTAR Galactica, STAR Trek, STARgate, and STAR wars, but what lesser-known or less-prestigious shows hold a special place in your heart?...
I've been doing small hosting off and on for a while. Mainly for accessing files at home and the occasional Minecraft server. Not smart, as I've never used a specialized router. I used to use ddwrt, but now it's impossible to flash most consumer grade routers....
I have an ASUSTOR NAS with 16tb storage that runs my Plex server. It's hardwired to my old gaming rig (2070 GPU / i79700k CPU) which handles the transcoding. I never took the time to set up Sonarr/Radarr so I just manually manage the torrents from there when I add stuff. I own my house if that matters and I have AT&T Fiber, 1000 up/ 1000 down.
I’m a massive sci fi fan and played the ever loving shit out of Star Citizen for a while there. Loved the 6 degrees of freedom and the capability to be a person or a starship....
Text is why I always add reddit to a search too. I do not want a video in response to my search, pretty much ever, and on the rare occasion I do, I go straight to YouTube.
Probably a stupid question, but I had one play session last week and admittedly my buddies and I were drunk, but I recall not being able to hit a damn thing when sniping because I was trying to compensate for bullet drop. Looking at same gameplay videos I assume it's hitscan gunplay (no bullet drop) but I wanted to confirm.
Thought I'd share this video by my favorite Battlefield youtuber, LevelCap, sharing his thoughts and criticisms about this game. I haven't gotten to play much of it yet so I can't back up anything he says but I hope to get some more hours in soon on the upcoming holiday weekend.
One of the downsides I've seen mentioned is magazine memory, i.e. having to combine half-empty mags but to me that one is minor. My biggest complaint so far has probably been the amount of time you need to spend bandaging yourself. I preferred Battlefield's system of having the medic toss a pack down for an AOE heal, and that may be how the medic class works (I've only played Engineer) but I assume there will be tons of tweaks and balances during the early access period and beyond.
You can just hear the sucking up to corporate bigwig city landowners in this post https://lemmy.world/post/629728 while screwing over disabled people, POC, poor people, and everyone else, all while accusing me of being ignorant, racist because I'm somehow implying big city crime is exclusive to POC (hahahaha, no, white people...
Why would I want to fight a system that has allowed my family to live an extremely comfortable life? It's a deeply flawed system but the alternatives have never turned out well.
Anyone here reading from kbin know how to block the exploding heads domain? Been trying to find the domain through kbin to block it but can't really figure it out.
Final Fantasy XVI, and it's consuming my thoughts to a degree that surprises me, considering I haven't really liked one of those games since FFX. I've already put 15 hours on it since Friday (quite a bit for me, I don't get very much time to game these days). It really is incredible; I haven't had this much fun with a game since probably Read Dead II. I'm also playing Battlebit Remastered on the rare occasion that my friends and I are able to game at the same time.
I travel for work so on my laptop I installed Fallout 4 with a modpack obtained through Wabbajack installer (Welcome to Paradise) and I'm playing through as a melee-only knight. I'm using console commands to stock up on stimpacks and radaway so that I don't have to stop and loot since I've played this game several times; I can just run around like a madman with a sword, slicing legions of enemies apart. Playing it as an action game has been a ton of fun.
Also nice username/pic @Teft, I'm a big Stormlight Archives fan.
There used to be a water park in my hometown that had a bunch of slides and a wave pool. I used to go there all the time as a kid, and even went there as a senior on a trip. I went to birthday parties there, sometimes....
Leaps And Bounds, and Discovery Zone. Not sure if they were local only (St. Louis, MO) but they were sort of combination arcades/jungle gyms for kids to go to.
I'm currently reading the Wool omnibus by Hugh Howey. It's pretty decent I've been making very rapid progress as it's been too hot to sleep here recently now the summer has arrived....
I'm reading Thrawn: Traitor (Thrawn Canon books #3). Not the greatest series I've ever read by any means but I need a break from the Stormlight Archives and my library had no wait on these.
Curious how everyone's experience has been playing FF 16 so far. I'm enjoying myself and having fun with the game, but I am having a really hard time understanding all these 9/10 review scores. When the game is firing on all cylinders it’s a total banger, but there are so many issues with this game....
I'm loving it but I agree on side quests. I'm glad there are no open maps to explore, that's what I didn't like about XV. I'm happy to just be fed story content, and in that regard, I'm eating pretty good. Crafting is minimal and I wish they'd just had done away with it and sell/buy all gear instead, but at least it isn't convoluted and overbearing and I can mostly ignore it most of the time (I hate crafting in video games). I'm here for the story and gameplay, and luckily in those regards, the game is excellent. For reference I think I'm about 15 hours in.
I've recently found that big (mostly open world) games tend to overwhelm or even intimidate me. I'm a big fan of the Rockstar games and absolutely adored Breath of the Wild, but my playthrough of Tears of the Kingdom has been a bit rocky from the get-go....
The older I get the more I prefer linear games. I'm playing FFXVI right now and I'm actually quite happy at how linear it is. Couldn't finish XV because the map was too damn big.
I die a ton in this game and I haven't been doing well, which is frustrating because I was so good at Battlefield, but that's probably a result of playing it drunk and also not playing many online games as I get older. I plan to play some this holiday weekend with my friends and hopefully I'll get a better feel for it, I only have 2 hours logged so far, so I didn't exactly expect to be great at it but I also didn't expect to get my ass so thoroughly handed to me, either. But the game is a lot of fun, that's for sure. I haven't gotten into a tank yet, which is where I shine in Battlefield (love shooting down choppers with the main cannon) so I hope I can get into one soon.
