It's not finished yet but OpenXray Gunslinger is probably going to be a better STALKER: Call of Pripyat remaster than the official one that just got announced.

God that is the absolute worst.

Lemmy feels less anonymous than Reddit, because there are less users and its easier to be remembered. Similar to a small town where everyone knows each other. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I can imagine, hah! Good to hear everything is alright, would miss seeing you around 🙂

A good deadpan or expectation subversion can be quite funny to me but everyone has different humour.

I don't subscribe to too many meme communities, but this one I like.

I'm just at the beginning of Act 3 of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I've dragged my feet doing a lot of side content and playing slowly because I sort of don't want this game to end. For once I wish this was a standard 100-hour JRPG fare and not as relatively short as it is at probably half that.

The game is very good. What else can be said at this point. There are minor niggles and nitpicks and occasionally some AA-ness rears its head but it's overall one of the best games I've ever played so far. The story is amazing, the presentation is beautiful and the turn-based combat with QTEs and parries is super fun. The boss fights are cinematic and challenging in an almost Souls-like fashion. All the characters have distinct play styles and fun synergies.

It's also an unabashedly French game and I'm really enjoying immersing myself in that to the max by using the French VAs.

God bless Gamers Nexus for pushing back against Nvidias bullshit.

Sierra made the games of my childhood. Are they still fun to play? in c/adventuregames@lemm.ee

Betteridge's Law strikes again here. Also summed up in the article:

these kinds of puzzles were "the only way to make 2–3 hours of 'game' last for months."

It was a different time then, and to some extent playing these classic games can be enriching as a form of cultural history study. But "fun" is not the first word that would spring to mind.

Someone else linked this absolutely haunting reading of Kipling's 1915 war poem some month or so back elsewhere on Lemmy and it's stayed with me since then. The poem is great in its own right but this reading is something else.

I believe Gary Davis owned six J-200s over the years, and while he preferred the blonde finish this one is still a beauty.

  • Swipe gesture actions don't work in the inbox view. I often find myself instinctively swiping to Upvote and/or reply on comments in my inbox, but it doesn't work unless you click through to open the comment thread. Would be convenient to have them work right there in the inbox.

  • Automatically hide the default banner from the header of Subscribed, Local and All feeds. It's nice to have the Post View Header setting on for communities, but the home page feeds doesn't have banners so it's just clutter. Possibly also automatically hide the banner and/or icon for communities that doesn't have a custom one set?

  • Option to have left-to-right swipe act as "back" button on all screens, including menus. Would help using the phone one handed.

  • Option to have "Confirm exit or save draft" dialogue pop up when exiting a post/comment you've typed in but not sent. More convenient than manually saving drafts, doesn't automatically clutter your saved drafts like auto-saving does and still works as a safeguard against accidentally losing long unsent posts.

  • View "Remote Local" function - ie what the Local page looks like on an instance other than your home, but without changing accounts. Good for finding new active communities, especially on smaller instances.

~~Remote instance community browser. Basically just a list of all the communities on a given instance that you can click through. Another good way of finding new communities.~~ EDIT: I found this is already possible. Maybe make it more visible? I don't know.
