Ah, no, I've not played it. It's been on my wishlist for quite a while tho :) Been on a bit of a JRPG streak lately.

I didn't know it took place in Indonesia though, that's very intriguing. It will probably be my next game of this ilk then, thank you!

And yeah, no stranger to To The Moon :P

None of the games I mentioned have micro transactions.

Outer Wilds, 1000xResist and What Remains of Edith Finch all moved me to tears. I still can't casually listen to the soundtracks of Outer Wilds or 1000x, as they simply evoke too many emotions.

Stop conflating Call of Duty and the like with "modern gaming".

You're jaded, and I feel sad for you.

I've been playing games since I could hold a controller basically, so 26-ish years, and I think modern gaming is phenomenal. I feel sad for you, but it is what it is. Just your loss in the end.

Outer Wilds, Baba is You, Blue Prince, Hades 1&2, Disco Elysium, Hollow Knight, Slay the Spire, Vampire Survivors, Clair Obscur, What Remains of Edith Finch, 1000xResist, Return of the Obra Dinn, Roboquest, Rocket League, Dark Souls, etc. I could go on, and on, and...

Not rehashes. Original, phenomenal games covering damm near every genre and if there is a genre you're missing, I can find a modern game to match.

Do you actually engage with modern games?

Like any self-respecting baker, I have a cabinet full of universes which produce various pies.

Jokes are not permitted on HN, please don't do it again.

90% of websites have built-in keyboard shortcuts for switching theme? We must visit different wevsites.

I use an extension for that.

Windows 8 was when Microsoft tried to cater more towards Windows-on-tablet use cases. Which lead to everyone, including desktop users, having a fullscreen phone-style app menu take the place of the old start menu. This, for desktop use, is obviously quite disruptive and was hated by everyone.

They addressed most issues in the 8.1 update, like a year later I think.

I didn't say it was resolved, I said it's about a piece of software which is called "resolved" which is one of many programs belonging to "systemd". It's a program which handles DHCP and DNS I believe.

And systemd is part of some Linux distros, yes. But not all. And Linux, the kernel, is agnostic towards IPv4 vs. IPv6 as far as I know.

So saying "Linux prefers IPv4 DNS" and linking to a github issue about "resolved" doesn't make much sense.

That seems to be about resolved, part of systemd, not Linux?

Well, seeing as you're not even responding to me, just previous people you've interacted with I guess I can't really say much.

But I will say that I ask specifically about the Fairphone because I've met many ethical, anti-capitalist, humanitarians, vegan, etc etc people who still don't apply any of their morals to the purchase of their cellphone and won't own up to it. I always found it an interesting piece of consistent dissonance.

What phone do you use? If not a Fairphone, why not?

Your scenarios seem to hinge on OSS having lots of warts while proprietary software is perfect.

In reality you have to also make concessions with proprietary software, so the moat is not as large as your comment makes it seem imo.

Pretty sure the US has had things such as age ratings for movies, which are enforced when possible, and laws around advertising to children and false advertising for quite some time.

I miss the good ol' days when you could see some cut off breasts alongside the snake oil ads in the papers. People are so stupid these days.

This was the D drive though, not root, ie C drive. So rm -rf would happily delete it all.

Yeah, rm -rf.

If you decide to let a stochastic parrot run rampant on your system, you can't act surprised when it fucks shit up. You should count on it doing so and act proactively.

Oh I've got my sights on it alright. Looks really interesting but just not been in the mood for such a game as of late :)

If I could choose a single game to experience again, it would be Outer Wilds. I played it with my partner, streaming it over Discord, and it was a truly amazing ride, start to finish. Loved the DLC as well.

Hearing the theme still gets me emotional and very sentimental.

Heh, sorry. Someone else asked for a list so I made a short one, figured I'll send it here as well :) They range in obscurity, but I'd not rate any of them as "mainstream".

In no particular order and in no way an exhaustive list:

Lies of P.

Baba Is You.

Ender Lilies/Magnolia.

Rain World.

Pillars of Eternity 1/2.

Return of the Obra Dinn.

What Remains of Edith Finch.

the "We Were Here" series.

1000xResist (played this one just a month ago, what a game).

Katana Zero.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night.

Sayonara Wild hearts.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark.

AER Memories of Old.

Hmmmm, sure. I'm not sure if I'd label them "obscure", they've all got a couple 1000 reviews on Steam. But they're certainly not mainstream to the level of my previously listed games(, with Disco Elysium not really being mainstream either tbh, but people know of it to some degree).

Games these days, just as before, are fantastic. Outer Wilds, Disco Elysium, Expedition 33, Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring(Nightreign), etc. And I've not even listed quite a few of my favorites cause they're not popular enough for most people to have heard of them.

Weird to say you don't game these days but also make blanket statements about games these days :p

Exact same thoughts here. This should, imo, be marketed at boardgame nerds, who are adults, and not 3-7 year olds which it seems to currently be. Which toddler is asking for this for christmas? I suppose a boardgame nerd might buy it to use with their toddler, but that is a niche of a niche of a niche.

Shared 12th. There are many ties. It is 36th overall, as in 35 countries can go to more places without a visa.

They clearly just want the option to say yes/no to the downloads, hence the use of the word "nonconsensual".

Seems like a reasonable ask.

Reading youtube videos are ya?

They own Minecraft as well.

I recently switched to hyprland but before that I was running a mixed HDR/SDR, mixed VRR/no VRR, mixed refresh rate setup with icc profiles applied under KDE wayland. No issues here tbh.

I believe this is one of the main contributing factors in people who strongly prefer iOS devices over Android as well. With iOS, there are no options really. You buy high end or you don't buy. With Android, people will end up buying some 150-200€ phone and being shocked it doesn't compare to their 1100€ iPhone.

Oh shit. It's been more than a decade since I played Minecraft but sounds like I, too, have lost my account then.

Hmm? What'd they do to it?
