- Comment on Xbox is cancelling Rare's 'Everwild' and ZeniMax's new MMORPG IP as part of broader cuts — with 'Perfect Dark' impacted as well 3 days ago:
Yeah, can see that question is vague. Lots of remakes / remasters in recent years, some amazing, and some garbage. Didnt want to invest in this and be pissed off about it.
Watched a few youtube reviews and sounds like something I’d enjoy.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 days ago:
Start deprived w master key.
Dual scimitar, composite bow, and a buckler. Lot of focus on parry and fast bow game play.
About 2:1 dex / end, no other points in stats aside from one in str to use the weapons.
Black leather set at +6 to offset no vitality.
Basically a Link glass cannon.
Scimitars can parry in left hand, and have a fun flippy move set. Will likely add the flip ring for style, and a divine club for the catacombs.
Currently lvl 53 w 45 dex and 23 end, and just reached the Anor Lando archers.

Back to Dark Souls 1. Tried so many challenge runs over the years, I decided to just have a casual play through with my favorite build.

Is it a good port? I really enjoy turok 2 on PS4, would love to play perfect dark on something better than an N64.
- Comment on Would you take a short term job(1-2 months) over a local longer term that makes nearly 8months worth of salary?? 5 days ago:
Lots of variables here, but sure, if its something you are comfortable with, go for it.
One thing about short term high paying work though, you have to be good about stretching your money.
Can be real easy to spend 8 months of pay fast when you earn it fast.
The benifit of steady work is steady income.

- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 2 months ago:
That’s my argument, release the server code and the fans can host them.
Take your servers down, move on to your new games, but give us the tools to enjoy what we bought. It costs them nothing.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 2 months ago:
I don’t think anyone plays factorio the way it was meant to be played.
With the new belt reading mechanics, I’m trying a single sushi belt play through and have made it as far as blue science so far.

Dominick the Italian christmass donkey on repeat. We’re all going mad.

I’ll have to get 2312, haven’t heard of that one. Same universe?
- Comment on Sun God 4 months ago:
That was in the Red / Green / Blue mars trilogy, one of my favorites. Though I think I’ve seen the concept in other works as well.
Basically the temp difference between day / night caused contraction of the rail tracks, pushing the whole city forward so it was always just ahead of dawn.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 4 months ago:
I’m still rocking a galaxy s8 and I love it. Only problem is many of the apps are dropping support and I cant update the os.
Really not looking forward to a new phone but itll have to happen soon

Quick google search suggests the ads come from same domain as youtube, so wouldnt be blocked.
Back to muting ads and reading lemmy on my phone

I watch primaly on my PS4, is there a network based solution?
- Comment on if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human? 5 months ago:
Absolutely, but the question was “how did you”, not “how should I”.
- Comment on if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human? 5 months ago:
Not likely to help but for me it was joining the military.
Between the training I received and the situations I faced, nothing in civilian life has really been able to effect me.
It’s been 25 years since I left the service and I can count on one hand the times I’ve actually been angry about something.

I can’t see going to a theater for a movie ever again.
Live performance, sure, but I’ll watch movies at home.
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 10 months ago:
Two games I have platinumed on PS4 that I still go back and play are Subnautica and Kerbal Space Program. Not sure if you mean 100% as in like scan and collect every item, or get all the trophies, cause I don’t think I’ve ever 100% a game in that way.
- Comment on ‘Call the police, he’s on drugs': But the worker was dying from heatstroke. 11 months ago:
Had it pretty bad once while in the military, and this sums up how I felt exactly. Dumb people in a dumb situation almost ended up with me in a lot of trouble.
- Comment on How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs? 1 year ago:
The office is 3 day a week onsite, w Mon and Fri remote.
I have to be on site Tue - Thur to support the users.
I go in most Mon and Fri because it’s the only time I know I have physical access to the systems.
My support work is largely “remote”, in that I can manage my systems 99% of the time better from my office than in the room, and I really like my setup.
Aside from physically rebooting hardware that’s too frozen to reboot remotely, or replacing defective hardware, I can work 100% from anywhere I have internet.
Thing is, I love the company I work for, the end users and various IT and facilities staff that support my work are all great people.
The only close friends I have all moved far away decades ago, so the “water cooler” is the only real social interaction I get.
I do spend a ridiculous amount to live 15 minutes from the office so the commute isn’t a concern.
- Comment on What are you playing this week? May 13 2024 Edition 1 year ago:
Just found out Factorio is out on console, so I’ll be addicted to that for the foreseeable future.
- Comment on Ubisoft Is Taking Away Your Games... 1 year ago:
I’ve sunk hundreds of dollars into Rocksmith 2014 on ps4 to learn to play the bass.
The game, DLC songs, two guitars,as preamp, and cables.
I absolutely love it, and feel I am still getting better over time.
It so saddens me to know that one day Ubisoft will shit down the servers and a that investment will go to waste.
From everything I’ve read Rocksmith+, their subscription model new version, just sucks in comparison to 2014, and I hate that their answer to people wanting to play games they ready own is “Well, just play the new one”.
Loved farcry 2, 3, and 5, hated farcry 6.
While I’ll always be able to play 2 and 3 from disc on my PS3, 5 will one day crap out as well I’m sure.
Companies who take servers required for single player games offline should be required to either patch the game, or release the server source code.
- Comment on Is the new Fallout TV show depressing? 1 year ago:
I’ll admit, I’m not deep enough of a lore whore to pick out the retcons.
This is the futherest in the future as far as timeline goes, so watch the show to see who controls the region now and what happened to said faction.
- Comment on Is the new Fallout TV show depressing? 1 year ago:
There are a lot of both dark themes and on screen deaths and violence, many of which are pretty graphic.
Fallout as a franchise is well known for some pretty horrific elements, often painted over with bright colors and upbeat music, but horrific all the same.
If Game of Thrones or The Boys were too much for you, then Fallout certianly is.
That said, it is an absolutely brilliant and faithful adaptation of the source material, and as a long time fan of the games, I loved every minute of it.

No, haven’t seen it, but will check it out.
- Comment on What are the best indie games you've ever played? 1 year ago:
So, the first 30 minutes go like this. Find the stuff to make and craft the knife, scanner, fins, air tanks, and building tool.
You can eat kelp and make bleach>water w salt and coral to stay alive, though it’s a LOT of kelp.
Then head straight to southern island to scan the multipurpose room, indoor and outdoor grow beds, and grab lantern fruit and marble mellons.
You can then build a base and grow all the food you will ever need. I stock up on a ton of bleach and make water as needed, though the food also restores some hydration.
I usually have this done before the Aurora explodes.
Once you have the cyclops you can plant in there as well. Three lantern fruit trees per base is all the food you will need in the game, and marble melons have a lot of water.
The only thing you miss out on really is the emergency air bladder, as that requires a fish. To make up for it I carry a second air tank when diving deep or exploring wrecks. I also build outdoor grow beds w brain corals in strategic places as emergency air supplies.
Honestly, I started it as a lark, and found it so enjoyable because I never get distracted chasing down and catching fish.
