Further proof that humanity is incapable of learning from their mistakes.

How brave, using Google Chrome to protest Microsoft… with an extension that only changes things locally. I promise that Microsoft doesn’t care one iota about you renaming things to Microslop with an extension. This is like proudly calling yourself a protester because you hung a sign up in your room where nobody else can see it. I guess it could annoy them a tiny bit if they see it become really popular I guess?

In other news, it’s really funny seeing an AI summary at the top of this article.

Rock and Stone! Games like DRG and Helldivers 2, with a heavy focus on cooperative PvE, have always appealed to me waaaay more than any of the more popular multiplayer games like CoD or something. I’d rather work with other players than fight them, 100% of the time.

I’ll have to replay Halo 4 at some point. I remember liking it more than most people seem to, and I probably would have rated it like a solid 7/10. Not amazing, but not quite mediocre either.

Then again, I haven’t played it since it first came out, and I was far less critical of games back then.

They’re fleshing it out in a whole bunch of different places. It’s been like 2 years of spoilers, so I’m probably forgetting some big ones, but it basically seems like anywhere they can say “these unrelated features could still be improved” is likely getting something new.

(E: saw another comment put new features in spoilers and thought it was a good idea so I reworded my comment a little)

A pretty big update, but from what they’ve shown so far, its focus is mostly on QoL and fleshing out the game. No new bosses or anything like that.

I love the long-ass pool of blood dragging from the middle right all the way up to the kill box. Tells a story.

I got a question about the killbox: What the dog doing? Does the dog being up there affect enemy pathing AI in some way?

Was expecting to see “install Linux” in one of the spoilers. Nice to see actual help.

Maybe the protagonist and a couple friends could go traveling around the world with the goal of capturing all the different Pals, that’d be cool.

Slammed!!!

Have journalists never heard of a thesaurus?

They were added a month ago when they did the winter event. The devs only vaguely hinted at new ghosts in the patch notes, and I actually thought the hint was instead talking about the krampus model they give the ghost during the event. I was very surprised when I got on to look at the overhauled journal and saw three new ghosts hidden in there.

The day he says something I agree with is the day I reevaluate everything I believe.

The three newest ghost types have been a lot of fun to play against. My one friend has taken to calling the Obambo “Obama”, which has lead to some interesting quotes like “Obama’s trying to eat my ass :(”. Have you encountered any of them yet?

Sometimes we gotta think about our wants and think are they really a need? Or can we get by with less till the alternatives can get better.

It’s not really that simple. I don’t need to convince my entire friend group to switch to Lemmy in order to get some use out of it. Best I can do is convince people to use modded discord clients like vencord and aliucord for most nitro features instead of paying for it.

Cube chick is definitely the best of the bunch, though they’re all winners here. Better baby animals were long overdue.

I never got to play the 3DS growing up unfortunately. I loved the GBC/A and DS when I was younger, and I was like the target demographic for the whole 3D thing, thinking it was super fucking cool. But when my parents bought me one for Christmas when it was new, I lost it outside like the very next day. I was too embarrassed to tell them, so I pretended that I still had it for months before eventually “the dog chewed it up” one night.

Look at the keyboard in the box. The layout makes zero sense and several keys are sunken in.

As far as the font is concerned, I noticed the R in “ANSWER” looks different from the R directly the the right of it.

Edit: haha, 3 of us mentioned the stuff in the box at basically the same time.

Yeah, Pinta is currently what I’m using as a replacement. It’s more or less what I need, but the UI is difficult to navigate and leaves a lot to be desired (though tbf that might be my paint.net muscle memory fighting me). I do appreciate Pinta being around though, I’ve tried other alternatives and Pinta is definitely the best of the bunch, at least for what I’m looking for.

It’s been an unfortunately difficult problem for me to troubleshoot since it only happens occasionally. I appreciate the help though, I’ll give disabling it a shot (it was enabled.)

I’ve been on Mint for about two months now. Took some getting used to and there was a pretty large chunk of stuff to learn that I wasn’t really expecting (I feel like Linux users tend to greatly oversell how easy of a switch it is), but I’ve got most things figured out now. AlternativetTo.net has been a lifesaver and has helped me find replacements for most programs I use regularly. Though I still desperately miss paint.net.

Now I just need to figure out why my audio crackles sometimes when I’m playing games.
