Very disappointing when that happens, I agree - but that’s the risk we take as people who pre-order!
My nightmare pre-order was Star Citizen, to the point that I now despise Kickstarter.
I pre-order games I know I’d buy on launch. Some titles I just know I’ll play, regardless of reviews - E.g. Sequels to games I love like the Witcher 3 or any of the Dying Light games.
I’ll also do Early Access if I want to play the game early and am okay with jank, E.g. Hades 2, Windblown.
Looks great, good job!

Games@lemmy.world•Divinity - Cinematic Announcement TrailerEnglish
71·1 month agoNot to be pedantic, but your critique of the existence of an announcement trailer feels like walking into a pizza shop, ordering a pizza, then getting mad because you wanted a burger.
If you don’t like announcement teasers then don’t watch them and just wait for the reveal trailer to release?
It usually goes announcement -> teaser -> reveal -> the rest

movies@piefed.social•Netflix to buy Warner Bros film and streaming businesses for $72bn
4·2 months agoOne of the biggest reasons I don’t like going to movies in the US is the lack of intermission. I just don’t get it. Broadway shows? Intermission. Live music? Intermission (or, at least, breaks between sets). 3 hour movies? Come on now masochism cadets, let’s see how excruciating this film can be!
Like, I know it’s been normalized here, but I have no idea why.

Voyager@lemmy.world•Android users: Thoughts on new beta feature?English
5·2 months agoOh my god, I’ve wanted this for so long - lost so much progress over an accidental back press. Thanks for this! (though, I don’t think it needs to be on by default - having it on by default could teach new users not to go into their communities UI)
Edit: though I do agree with the other user who mentioned a “do not ask again” checkbox - I think that would mitigate any concerns. Regardless, I’m just happy we have a warning now!
That’s a great one. There really is an xkcd for everything.
The humor is bad, but that dog shit excuse for art is unforgivable IMO. Even if the jokes were good I’d rather look at something else.

2·2 months agoThere is no risk of others finding it if you don’t turn on federation. It becomes a fully private instance. Just set federation to false.
Been playing it solo for a day - I definitely avoid pvp where I can, and even do my best to help other Raiders if they’re chill.
It’s a good game.

1·3 months agoB- but I really like it? I think it’s the best. :(

Games@lemmy.world•Monster Hunter Wilds is getting outsold by its 4-year-old predecessorEnglish
6·3 months agoAnd they were posting the same articles while Rise was out.
Like, just pick one of the following titles for a pre-DLC monster hunter game and there’ll be low effort reporting written about it:
- Monster Hunter game too easy!
- Monster Hunter game too short!
- Monster Hunter game need more monster!
- Food videos were better in the last game!
- Last game had better mechanics, where is xxx
I love Wilds, think it’s the best MH game I’ve played since GU. Can’t wait for its expansion to drop. I’m ready for master rank.

Opensource@programming.dev•What FOSS projects do y'all donate to?
6·3 months agoMatrix. I use it as my primary form of communication so I thought I should give back. I also support via github sponsors some of the bridges I use on matrix.

Gaming@lemmy.zip•GOG asking for more donations from gamers with the new GOG Patrons programEnglish
10·3 months agoThey used to support Linux as a platform, but they ended up dropping it because the userbase was too small to warrant the additional development efforts. I think it was around 2015 they added Linux versions of their games, only to remove them in 2018ish?
Either way, it meant switching to Steam for me. I understand that it was a business decision, but it was a damn shame…
(All of this was pre-Galaxy.)

Games@lemmy.world•ARC Raiders Just Became Steam's Most Popular Extraction Shooter and It's Not Even CloseEnglish
2·3 months agoYep, which is precisely why it’s my favorite. I think it’s a really well balanced game. Now if it wasn’t for the crappy main menu UI (which, granted, they’ve really improved as of late) and the bizarre bugs (which they haven’t) it would be almost perfect.

Games@lemmy.world•ARC Raiders Just Became Steam's Most Popular Extraction Shooter and It's Not Even CloseEnglish
91·3 months agoAs a guy with over 2.5k hours in Hunt, I think it really comes down to people just enjoying different things. I can no longer play standard match based shooters, anymore, as I find the lack of consequence leads me to not caring about the outcome of games.
Incidentally I’ve also returned to playing Eve, because losing a level 50 hunter you spent a few hours leveling up? That’s nothing compared to losing a ship you spent half a year working towards.
Basically I’m addicted to lossy progression in games. Not claiming it’s an end-all-be-all mechanic, but damn if it hasn’t made me love games again.

32·3 months agoIt’s the install size of docker and any container it brings down with it.
Really, I just don’t like the idea of being forced to use something massive like docker for a single program.
Just give me a binary and let me set up hardening via systemd - or at least a source tarball or something.
Sincerely: someone who thinks software should not primarily be distributed through docker.

81·3 months agoReally didn’t like Immich because of its massive install size and being forced to use Docker - this project is exactly what I was looking for. One simple go binary with no extra hoops to get it up and running? Delicious.
Installed, will be following it for sure! Thanks for the excellent software.
