Fuck. This is me with music production about a month ago. I produced exactly 5 seconds of music trying to learn it after several days of endlessly learning about it.

What about Grim Dawn?

They've been doing snaps for a few years already so it already seems like they're keeping up with this bullshit (in fact they're putting more and more stuff there) It's already the reason people stopped recommending Ubuntu to new users and instead go for Mint or Pop!OS

It's amazing that it's still the best rally sim to this day. This game is old enough to drink in the States.

welp, guess I'm keeping this thread open for tomorrow morning when I get to fixing this. Hopefully by then things will be more fixed upstream...

Hm. Maybe I'll do it, then. Don't know if I got the patience to admin a community but I am an emulation enthusiast.

Welcome! Emulation is probably my favorite method of gaming nowadays, giving me access to most of the classics of gaming from over 20 years of history all at once. If you have a decent computer you get get everything up to the PS3 generation easily, and a less powerful one or a phone can go up to the PS2 or PS1 gens, still giving you plenty of gaming options. I have found so many games and genres I would normally not get into, by trying them out via emulation. Arcade games, especially. I love arcade shmups of the 90's and early 2000s.

there is an emulation community on lemmy.ml and another at lemmy.world but I would understand if you don't want to interact with those. I am kinda surprised dbzer0 doesn't have one.

Why am I not surprised.

Always online even in singleplayer is already a non-starter, but other than that (people literally not being able to play the game on release due to congested login servers) the driving is subpar, the city map looks nice but is empty like a ghost town, the driving is subpar, the soundtrack is terrible, the radio inserts sound AI generated, and progression seems bad too.

Oh, and apparently this was the best they could do after several delays of over a year. I hear the entire dev team went on strike against their publisher immediately after release too. And to think they also trashed their last WRC title for this, too. Just an absolute drawn out shitshow.

Literally Talos from the Night Lords. He's my favorite war criminal and murderer. The books made him so likeable that the author had to make the character himself remind the others (and the reader) that he's evil, lol.

You sure it isn't the finance and management guys leaving at 4pm and earlier while developers are expected to work past hours and even at home?

And then when I say allbillionaires should be put into flaming woodchippers feet first I'm the one that's out of line.
