I played it on release, and enjoyed it for the most part.
It's not as good as the original games, with a weaker story, weaker characters and a wasted opportunity with the new galaxy, but it's still a decent game in its own right. The combat was great fun, and while the other stuff isn't up to the standard of the originals it's also not bad.
I remember some of the collectathon side quest tasks were a bit tedious, but I think they can be avoided.
I've always wanted to try a farming sim. I think I own two versions of Stardew Valley but haven't played either of them!
I know if I do get into one it will be game over for any other games.
A lot of people did jump to Mastodon, and apparently it had had another large influx of users yesterday after all the Twitter shenanigans. Not everyone stays though, obviously.
I think part of the issue some have with Mastodon is the lack of Twitter's algorithm. It's absolutely true to say it's harder to find people and topics to follow on Mastodon for the simple reason that you're not getting anything shoved in your face, which is a massive plus point for many (myself included) but can also make it appear initially less appealing.
You probably know this already, but X11 hasn't been dropped completely. You can still install what you need from the distros, and then the X11 option will be present and correct in SDDM.
sudo dnf install kwin-x11 plasma-workspace-x11
I found PCPartPicker really useful when I last built a PC:
It helps you pick compatible parts, and links to sites you can buy them from. I'd still shop around for the best price after building your list(s), but it's a great place to start.
I think it is just a delay, and maybe some kbin weirdness. I can browse to https://beehaw.org/c/worldnews@fedia.io for instance, but not some other magazines including fedia@fedia.io. Searching for fedia.io brings up posts but no communities, and even searching for worldnews@fedia.io which we know is federated here brings up no results regardless of whether I use the "!".
Cool, thanks. So I guess my question is how you search for a kbin instance from Lemmy? If I search for !fedia@fedia.io for instance I only get results from lemmy threads rather than the magazine itself.
I switched to Firefox from Brave a while ago, partly due to Mozilla's Mastodon announcement and their general approach, and to be honest it's been fine for the most part.
That said, I've absolutely run into some minor issues on a couple of sites that were indeed fixed by using Brave again.
That looks rather nice. My Pixel 6 should be good for a few years yet, but I'd like to think my next phone will be a Fairphone if they keep improving like this.
Can you follow Kbin magazines from fedia.io at the moment? You can follow Lemmy communities from there, so I was wondering if that works both ways. Presumably if it does then it should be possible to follow kbin.social magazines eventually.
The Starfield Direct showing really sold me on this. It looks like it comes the closest to my dream space game of anything released so far. Elite Dangerous nailed the feel of piloting your own spacecraft, but I didn't get on with the actual structure of the game. No Man's Sky continues to do amazing things, but its spaceflight feels a bit too stripped back for me and it still feels a little too aimless for my tastes.
This looks like a perfect middle ground, all backed up with a full blown Bethesda RPG too keep me engaged. :D
My only criticisms based on the Direct are that characters, and indeed character interactions still look a bit dated compared to more recent games, especially Cyberpunk 2077, and that the combat still looks a little janky. Don't get me wrong, it looks a lot better than Bethesda's older games, but still seems to be showcasing some rather basic AI and spongey enemies. Hopefully the RPG elements will make this side of the game feel more rewarding.
I think the bubble has certainly burst. COVID resulted in loads of new consumer investers, and the visibility of crypto had never been higher. Exchanges were being advertised by major celebrities on Superbowl ads!
Then the market crashed, and all those investers realised what a mistake they'd made. I don't think it's a mistake many will make twice.
It was such a bizarre time, with major governments talking about minting their own NFTs or even their own digital currencies. That all seems to have quietly gone away now, thankfully.
