I'm a fan of card games like Slay the Spire, Dicey Dungeons, and Monster Train run on practically anything. There's hundreds of hours of fun in there if you're into these games.

I think Active could use a little bit of tweaking though, it seems like some posts last too long and obscures newer posts.

That's awesome! Really hope we can abandon x86 altogether some day.

Brent's desk is actually the microservice holding everything together. Don't shake the cables when you sit down or you'll risk crashing the whole website.

I hated the first Lords of the Fallen, but I won't lie, this looks insanely cool. I'll keep this game on my radar.

Don't let the simple graphics fool you, BattleBit is apparently a really good Battlefield clone that gathered quite a bit of cult following from its closed alpha tests. Looking forward to this.

Makes literally no sense to me that Reddit couldn't afford to provide a price exception to 3rd party apps that have helped grow their community and website over the years. I've been using Reddit Is Fun for almost a decade now, and I'm not switching to their official app.

Companies are getting too comfortable when they have no competition. Really hope a Fediverse alternative will kick off like Mastodon did (ironically I'm placing my bets on kbin even though I use Lemmy. Seems like the simpler alternative that'll be easier to invite people over).

Minetest is really cool but it's always struck me as kind of a shameless Minecraft clone instead of trying to do something new. The graphics are identical, the UI is similar, the gameplay is practically the same, there isn't a huge reason to play it compared to Java Minecraft + mods. It is free and open source though, which is cool.

I'm more of a Vintage Story enjoyer myself. It has its fair share of issues but I appreciate how it's not trying to be Minecraft.

This sound like you don't play games very much because that's not the case, at all. Not everyone has unlimited data caps and fast internet, and those that do would still rather play games locally than suffer input lag and video artifacts. With consoles and PCs being as powerful as ever and still affordable I don't think the cloud gaming market will ever be mainstream.

I've had this on my wishlist for a while. Feels like a spiritual successor to Nuclear Throne, can't wait to actually try it out.

This is the stuff that makes me really excited for AI. Sure, having a personal assistant is nice. Generating images and music is also very cool. Optimizing software and hardware though, this is where things get amazing.

Modern software is pretty abysmal when you think about it. In the last 20 years we've focused more on making things faster rather than making more optimized things. We ended up with ultra bloated operating systems, regularly 100mb+ apps, RAM sucking programs like web browsers and background apps that make even 8 gigabytes of RAM not enough, and so on.

I'm waiting for a point where AI can start optimizing legacy code and say "Wait, this is really dumb and wastes so much energy". Imagine Windows running on only 100mb of ram. Imagine apps and websites being 10x more efficient than they are now. It's not that crazy of a concept, only a matter of time.

These numbers seem made up. The article even states Anthropic is hiring people with basic programming skills. I looked up the open jobs at their website and nothing suggests what they're talking about.

According to a ResumeBuilder.com survey, nearly 29% of companies plan to hire prompt engineers in 2023, and about 25% of them anticipate starting salaries exceeding $200,000 per year.

Okay, this article is complete BS to try and drum up more hype for AI. Nobody is, or ever will, hire "prompt engineers" for high salaries. Bet whoever wrote this is going to try and sell a course on how you, too, can be a millionaire with one simple trick.

Helloooo. I can see the post but I dunno if you can set a title for it. Right now the title is "@asklemmy"

[-] simple@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Personally I'll wait a few months and maybe get it on sale. It's not out of character for Blizzard to pull a gotcha and maybe slowly make monetization worse, so I won't take the risk.

It's driving me a little insane how the transition from one screen to another fades to white. It feels like I'm getting flashbanged. Is there any way to disable this? I couldn't find much in the options.

[-] simple@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Although it does get too chaotic with over 3 players. I can't imagine playing with 6, at that point the players just take over most of the screen.

I tried 4 players and it was a little too wild for me. Went back and played it with just 1 friend, the game feels made for 2 player imo.

Summer Games Fest will probably be the event this faux-E3 season. What are you expecting/hoping to see tomorrow?

I'm personally hoping for:

  • Another trailer for Judas

  • Elden Ring DLC teaser

  • Hollow Knight Silksong trailer

  • Hades 2 Release Date

  • Demon's Souls PC port (one can dream)
