  And then hilariously I happen across this article today about a free unreal 5 version of fable some fan has made. From the looks it seems like a prettying up of the original, but might not have changed much if anything about the gameplay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 5th⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  After spending a bit of time back on the original, I can say that the camera controls are just naturally janky, though it is significantly worse on the anniversary edition and it might be due to something as simple as the increased aspect ratio.

  There was some random video on YouTube about the original fable and I had the urge to play it again. At some point had received the anniversary edition on steam so I loaded it up. 30 minutes and a bit of motion sickness later I uninstalled it and went hunting for my actual original disk. Found it, installed it, and the options and controls are so much better… It’s amazing that they ported the Xbox version for the anniversary edition and didn’t bother to include things like mouse sensitivity, smoothing, acceleration, or really any pc specific options.

  The main issue is that the camera seems to be connected to more than just character location, it seems to also be connected to orientation of some part of the character, like the hip. Combat is jittery as all hell, movement isn’t pleasant, and everything else hardly matters… I will be playing the original.

  D-pad for precision, analog for thereabouts.

  Or in monster hunter, d-pad for camera with index finger, analog for movement with thumb, embrace claw until everything cramps.

  This was true for me in my younger years especially, I ran on about a 32 hour cycle. As I’ve gotten used to my weekday work routine I’m much closer to a 28ish hour routine now.

  I thought about playing a lot of things. I spent about 2 hours in helldivers 2 and that was about it for the week.

  To be fair, it’s the most American roundabout ever. Changing numbers of lanes, stop lights around it, and completely unintuitive. I seem to always be one lane more to the right of where I thought I needed to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It is truly magic⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My American city has at least 2 roundabouts in it, and I happen to get confused by at least one of them every time I’m trying to get somewhere.

  Considering it was asked to copy the previous text, it could easily be something the creator of this screen cap had written and the chat or literally just copied. A ‘repeat after me’ into a gotcha.

  In no particular order:

  Half minute hero Disgaea Patapon (2 and 3) Dj max (any/all) Monster hunter (freedom through portable 3rd) Patchwork hero Lumines (1 and 2)

  I’m wondering if I missed any I spent a disproportionate amount of time on… But these were the first ones to pop into my head.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a good, healthy, unhurtful, socially positive way to express anger?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Consider what it is and why it made you angry

  2. Think about ways to avoid that issue/reason again

  2.5. If that reason is a person, figure out if there’s anything you can reasonably do to change the situation which caused the anger

  3. If you can make changes, make them. If not, don’t fret over it and continue your day with the full understanding that you’ve done all you can and it isn’t worth any more of your time.

  If you want to jump in head first and worry about everything else later, youtube’s DIYPerks has amazing builds with plenty of skills to back them up. It’s been great to watch him go from little led mushroom lights to literally recasing a ps5 into a portable gaming all-in-one.

  It heavily depends on the reason for being in therapy, but a lot of times what people do get out of it is a different perspective on themselves and the world around them. It’s not a cure, it’s a series of plans/strategies to handle those feelings in non-destructive ways. It’s about understanding where their issue stems from, sometimes it’s just an imbalance of brain juices, sometimes it’s something to do with their past or upbringing, or education. If it’s the second one, therapy can help those people explore those parts of their past to understand the reasons why they are feeling the things they are feeling and how to mitigate or better handle those feelings.

  Others have explained it fairly well too, I think you’ve got a decent enough handle on why therapists are a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how can I develop a thick skin?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems you have missed the point of being in therapy. They’re not a friend, they are a guide for you to use to better understand yourself. Therapy is meant to explore parts of yourself that you want to work on or that need to be addressed (such as self harm).

  Some people find it difficult to think about themselves and having someone to listen to those people’s explanation of their week might just shed some light for that person on why they feel a certain way about the things which happen around them.

  It’s also something that you must actually commit to. Going to therapy and either lying constantly or being very tight lipped about things because you feel like you are being teated/judged/analysed are not going to yield any real results compared to someone who is as open as they can possibly be about themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The important part is that there’s not a small section of the population which will take all speculation and no science for easily disprovable things to heart rather than challenge their world view. It’s oddly fitting that the flat earth is so dumb to them, but many other similarly false takes will sway them wholly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users think that the Lemmy interface sucks.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The UI is functional and easy to understand. It’d be nice if people who had complaints would actually voice the problems they face with examples and maybe even solutions. You know, instead of just sounding like a whiny child who can’t just say they’re struggling with minor changes.

  It’s all part of the the step plan:

  1.identify the problem

  2. Think up a solution

  3. Implement the solution

  It gets an extra half step or two in groups.

  1.5. Ask others for their input on the problem

  2.5 Have a vote/poll to get the most liked solution

  I remember a video many years ago about the first brick laying bot. It was rough and no where near as finely tuned as a Mason who has been doing it for a few years… But it works. The absolute short sighted nature of many construction companies much like in the past will be their downfall.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nowadays, on certain games and game launchers, you can play the game before its fully downloaded. How is possible?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Audio is still somewhat of a culprit at times, depends on the game and the amount of exposition. Videos are rarely the main share of the game filesize anymore and usually it is mainly textures and likely bloat from really crap usage/optimization of those textures.
