Is it the Nintendo Switch OS which is needlessly bloated? It does nothing, how can it be heavier than an actual Linux Distribution?

AFAIK the OS is based on a microkernel and the modules are rather small, so there's probably a lot of overhead for IPC. Also I guess the power management is quite aggressive to increase battery life and lower heat.

I've used it at work since it often is the only installed browser and it feels like it's already infected by toolbars and other malware out of the box.

The new tab page reminds me of the weird ads you see at the bottom of tabloid websites.

I always interpreted as X because it looks like a pair of scissors, C for copy and V just because it's close to the others.

Yea it's worth playing now. It's not a masterpiece, but it's fun enough.

I remember there being a mod for cfw that unlocked a manual power setting slider and the results were similar.

Repetition legitimizes

Luckily on my actual work PC I can use whatever I want, but on other devices I'm forced to use Edge both because of restrictions on what I can install and because there's a lot of internal applications that still rely on vbscript.

Ah I didn't realize that. I might try it again then.

I have a few:

  • Tunic: I thought it had more than one puzzle, with how it was being talked about online, but it ended up repeating the same thing for 6 hours reusing the same gimmick over and over - after a below average first half.

  • Xenoblade Chronicles (DE): the characters were really uninteresting, the story kept spoiling every attempted twist it had with needless foreshadowing and the combat felt really boring. The world was empty and it felt like a dead MMO.

  • 13 Sentinels: I won't spoil anything specific, but the story was just a bunch of the most generic sci-fi cliches.

  • Monster Hunter Rise: I love World/Iceborne and really enjoyed the parts I played of GU and 4U but Rise just felt bad to play.

  • Games that force daily tasks/gacha games: I hate being forced - or even just being hinted at having - to grind daily. It just ends up pushing me away from the game, even if I'm enjoying it. I can't play games like Genshin Impact and Star Rail, but also the daily challenges in sf5/6 bother me every time I see them.

I also don't really get roguelikes, but I'm not sure if I just haven't found one I enjoy or I don't like the genre.

Same. No bugs, but it just didn't live up to the hype for me. I dropped it just after starting chapter 2.

Anyone know of good non roguelike deckbuilders?

Harvesting food, collecting water, random gathering for materials to craft. I guess it gets better later in the game, but I tried starting it twice and after ~10h I dropped it both times because I was annoyed with the resources.

Recently completed Dark Souls for the first time. I'm not sure if I enjoyed it, but it was a unique experience.

Started Monster Hunter Rise on PC. Some things feel a bit "off" but it's enjoyable (I actually tried playing on Switch when the game released, but it was miserable)

For me it's dark souls after the lordvessel. The areas in that section are the worst part of the game IMO.

Also in dmc5 I hate having to play V's missions, luckily you can skip them with the mission select, but you still have to play through them at least once when unlocking a new difficulty.

I also recently replayed cyberpunk 2077 and while I did generally enjoy the game, the ending was a slog and I had to force myself to finish it.

I've been having trouble focusing on a game and finishing it, but I've recently played God of War (2018) which was quite disappointing, and last week I've played Trails in the Sky which I enjoyed, except for

::: spoiler the incest, which was a bit weird :::

I've also been playing the original FFVII .

I might consider it in that case, if I ever find it on sale.

Altho I've seen a bunch of people complain about XC2's story, but they usually say that XC's was better - so I'm not sure what to think.

Wdym? The hardware is just a shitty audio interface that doesn't even work properly on passive bass.

If they count as survival then survival horror like Resident Evil and Signalis.

Most of the traditional survival games I've played end up being annoying to play because of the constant use of your resources outside of your control and I find gathering for crafting kinda boring. This kinda ruined Subnautica for me, since I was mostly interested in exploring but I had to constantly return to base to do chores.

Signalis is very good. It's an re1-style survival horror but with a more scifi setting.

Mine (Nord 2) does have it, but it's broken and never triggers.

I'll check it out thank. I've heard good thing about it, but I thought it was a roguelike.

I just stated playing it and... It's just a roguelike? I don't get what you mean.

::: spoiler I searched around the room, completed few puzzles and I got the film roll (which I'm guessing is used to win the game, since the slime says to defeat "him"), but I'm not seeing anything else. :::

Same, I played around 20 hours and dropped it: the gameplay was fun enough but the lack of interaction between the characters was really disappointing and the stories weren't really interesting to me to keep playing.

Have you tried Metro 2033?
