What does this mean to the game on steam? Only delisting from the shop but still downloadable? Or will it be taken from my Library? I haven't bought it yet, because I never heard of it. But it looks fun... So maybe while the sale goes on?

Uhm, you description sonds more like planetside than the Tribes I played...

[-] Nephalis@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah, like DNU said, something more grindy. Or something difficult. So more like PoE where you can play thousands of hours without seeing everything or knowing everything. Or like Black Desert Online with its afk mechanics. Or a game with a lot rng like dwarf fortress or rimworld.

Or speedrunning stuff. But some kind of idle... ๐Ÿ˜… indeed unexpected.

Well maybe it is because said games are my timesinks... Even though I haven't played any game as long as he/she did.

Wtf... The review gets a whole other dimension with this knowledge... It's more the "help me" of an addicted now...

Do you all expect localization is tied to laws for china? I realy don't think so. Most games are split into global and asia/chinese versions anyway. Why should they remove these mechanics when it isn't necessary for the market they operate in?

๐Ÿ˜„ there are a few:

  • Celeste -> great platformer. Maybe the best I ever played.

  • Tiny Thor -> another good platformer

  • Sea of Stars -> I have some mixed feelings about this. All in all a good game. The visuals are fantastic. The story is ok (so far), the music is very cool. The battle is good but to be honest, for a round based combat system it has to be compared with games like final fantasy and it is much much flatter. Once you got the basics, no suprises will be left. And this is a pity. I expected the battle system to be the heart of the game... But it seems like the visuals are. ๐Ÿค” As I said, good all in all, but not as expected.

  • Brotato: This could be my game of the year 2023. Awesome game loop. Nice for a "short" round inbetween...

  • Cosmoteer: Awesome game if one likes to build stuff and management aspects in games. But not as easy as it seems first.

  • Ember Knights: great co-op rouge lite. Played it when it was in early access and it was great already. I should take a look into it, now it is finaly released.

I almost never finish any game because I am sick of quests and (modern) stories or the way they are told in general. Because of that, I mostly play games without a definitiv ending. But my last "story" ending was Diablo 4 and I haven't liked it. It can hardly be caled an ending... Moreover I was happy that I finaly finished the story, so I was able to see what the game will be after it... It was also pretty disappointing. So I started another char in PoE again ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Before this I guess it was "It takes two" and it was great.

Maybe the vet already said it, but you should give some stuff for his gut. Otherwise the long antibiotical treatment will destroy his gut flora.

It is what happened to me. And I still have to deal with a lot of allergies from the resulting leaking gut syndrom. And I took supplements while I took the antibiotics too...

I am not from america but our youth imported your moral/ethical/politics discussion shit on games. And it is so anoying. As if any company would care about moral integrity. Have you noticed that most companies which supported pride month with a little rainbow icon did not in all the countries where this is suppressed and forbidden?

The whole purpose of most companies is to gain money. And they will do whatever is necessary and legal in countries they operate in. And it is a own "discipline" called localization to exactly knowing about their possiblities ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ And like others said: most companies are up to no good. Energy, gas, food, clothes, cars... Pharma...

My advice #1: play the games, pay as less as possible. My advice #2: The field of indie games is great. I rarely play AAA. But I also just care about gameplay and don't like stories in games anymore.

Some cool games: dead cells, children of mortar, ember knights, mario kaizo hacks, path of exile (is not indie anymore but great anyways), brotato, cassette beasts, cosmoteer, rimworld, elite dangerous, hades, rogue legacy 2, noita, stardew valley, subnautica, super meat boy and so far and so on ๐Ÿ˜‰

It is very satisfying to read news about a declining Ow2.

They killed my all time favourite game, that I maybe played most ever since. But 5v5 and f2p where such bad ideas. Season 1 started, I played it one more week after and quited. I miss it, but I now there is no fun in this game for me.

Looking forward to new bad news about the game.

DIY Nas & Homeserver (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Nephalis@discuss.tchncs.de to c/hardware@lemmy.ml

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place, but I will give it a try.

My 10years old NAS quited working and I am looking for my opportunities. And since I am tinkering with my raspi and am generally interested in selfhosting stuff like jellyfin, joplin e.g. I decided to take the step to build my own Nas instead of buying another Synology device.

I would like to provide my needs but since I am not sure about it, it serms a bit difficult.

What I know:

  • 4 sata slots so I can use my actual drives and have the option to upgrade
  • Transcoding with jellyfin would be nice
  • having my own cloud storage is a long term aim
  • joplin server
  • maybe some terraria dedicated server could be cool also
  • low power usage and low noise are two criteria i would consider important since the energy prices only know one direction where I life

At the moment my favorite is this fanless board: https://www.minipc.de/catalog/il/2942

I would upgrade it with a pci card to get more sata slots or with a m.2 card which would do the same thing.

ECC compatibility feels unnecessary.

Is there anything that I forgott? Any better choices from european vendors? Ordering from america is not an option because it would take forever to arrive and the process to get it from the zoll is time consuming and would put taxes on top.

Thanks in advance ๐Ÿ˜Š

Edit: I just realised that M.2 M key SSDs are not supported by the slot... This reduces the options to chose from
