- Comment on Hades 2 will likely be in early access until 2025, with first big update to add new enemies, maps and features 5 weeks ago:
Feel free, I think it’ll be a great game when you check back in.
I’m a big Hades 1 fan, and played that game in it’s early state as well. Hades 2’s early access feels roughly 90% or more complete, it’s missing pictures for some items (placeholders for now), some character portraits of some of the lesser-interacted-with NPCs. I think there will be another weapon because there’s a slot for it, and there’s seemingly some more boss content. Gameplay, basically at 100%
So if you’re likely to finish and not check back in, definitely wait because the game should be in pristine condition by then, with it being this polished already. Love this studio, love this game
- Comment on This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£ 1 month ago:
We shit on ‘upselling’ all the time. If you cleaned those pages, pressed them back and touched up the spine of the book, sure. But I’d be annoyed too if there was a 500% markup on a resale of used material
- Comment on Hades II - Early Access Patch 1 Notes 1 month ago:
I beat [BAD GUY IN TARTARUS] and [BAD GUY ON SURFACE] when it was still really hard
I like the changes, those wins felt very cheap and circumstantial. It was super fun, but the changes definitely make it ‘feel’ better. I love this dev team for listening to the community
- Comment on ASUS breaks your ROG Ally if you don't pay $200 for warranty repairs: SCAMMING COMPANY! 1 month ago:
I was just refuting the bit that it’s not better off the paper. By all the measures above, it’s not “meh” better. The steamdeck could drastically improve by taking some notes in what the Ally does well.
I agree though that Asus isn’t a company I choose to do business with first, they just had the best product for what I was looking for.
- Comment on ASUS breaks your ROG Ally if you don't pay $200 for warranty repairs: SCAMMING COMPANY! 1 month ago:
Own both
Ease of use - Ally Graphical capabilities - Ally Battery usage - Steam Deck (because less graphical capabilities) Gaming platforms/launcher availability - Ally Customization and layout - Steam Deck, and it ain’t even close.
I love my Ally and my wife loves my Steam Deck. But the Ally is better in all the ways above. I will say the Steam deck is easier to open up for repairs, but not by much

Are you okay? You seem a little confused, and it’s coming our in your comments

He’s making a hyperbolic joke.

Actual traffic laws? This thing is safe as can be. It’s got just the right angles that if it hits a pedestrian they’ll bounce right into one of the designated Kill Corners, making their end painless. That sounds like regulation working to me

No no, thank you for this.
I understand blockchain as a concept, and kind of hownit plays into cryptocurrency, but understanding a true example of blockchain use outside of finances is something I needed more info on, thank you
- Comment on Anon is in hell 5 months ago:
My wife’s best friend has been banned a couple times and is waiting to appeal her tinder ban again.
Although often justifiable based on the ways these guys have acted/spoke to her, it’s usually because she’s super ruthless in her response. A guy got mad she wasn’t interested in just being a booth call after she said she’s there for dates too, said she was after a free meal (paying hadn’t come up yet, and she always pays for herself unless a guy insists) and so she tore into him. And she’s brutal. Another had ghosted her after rescheduling on the date twice and saying stuff came up and that he’s busy (days after the fact, no check in or nothing) and so she told him that’s some horse shit and that he’s a little bitch that needs to get his life in order if he’s gonna stand somebody up twice after begging for a second chance.
She definitely could be nicer sometimes, but from what I’ve read from her it’s no different than how I see a lot of dudes talk on there, I think those guys just got their feelings hurt more than standard tinder girls do.

Was my exact thoughts too. Federation is great, also confusing lol

It is admittedly a very large picture. Maybe not always set up for such big files. I saw others use it and figured, what the heck, might as well.

Well, because it’s the community for HackerNews, an already established site with a user base and an active discussion. Although I’d love to have the discussions here, linking to the overall larger community there would lead to better debate/discussion just from the shear number or users and available opinions/expertise.
Someday I hope we have as committed a user base and then HackerNews can link to it’s Lemmy counterpart
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 9 months ago:
Oh that I couldn’t answer. They probably are referencing a study where those options were listed. A lot of practicing Christians I know aren’t even positive what they declare so they just put down non-denominational, I’m assuming ‘Christian’ was another good catch-all term that nabbed anyone who had a general belief in Christ but no organized practice of that belief.
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 9 months ago:
Shit in my comment I forgot all about Adventists and pentecostal. Oh jeez, let’s hope the singular group that makes it to heaven takes mercy on my failure to include them.
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 9 months ago:
Oh American christianity is something different as a whole.
I’ll give my best summary in as few words as I can during my lunch.
Christianity is an Abrahamic faith with its roots in catholicism. When Martin Luther, a catholic from Germany, wrote a large 95 point thesis detailing his problems with catholicism and how the church had been warped from its intention, this lead to whay most modern Americans would call Lutheranism.
This reformation of the church that started with Martin Luther is known as the Protestant Reformation, protestants being anyone who believed in Christ but not in the orthodox or catholic belief set and rites.
The separation of that faith and the pursuit to practice it openly (sometimes even if it was MORE restrictive than the existing systems) led to the exodus of religious groups to America. This is where some Americans get the idea that “america was founded on Christianity and religious freedom”, as these were protestants who were escaping religious persecution for rejecting mainline catholicism.
Some time down the line, I don’t know the history of this part, the general term for anyone believing in christ but not catholicism (some going as far as saying lutheranism is catholic-lite as they still practiced communion and most protestants don’t recognize communion or any of the ‘rites’ as those are things they see as placed on top of religion by man and not by God) was just left at Christians.
For all intents and purposes, in the US, Christian mostly means Protestant, methodist, Lutheran, Baptist, Southern Baptist (they’re separate, I was raised Southern Baptist, they get pissy about being lumped in), calvinist, and non-denominational (people who don’t claim a ‘branch’ but worship christ in a way not easily or intentionally not tied to a singular rhetoric.
Please ask more questions and I’ll try my best. Having been born to a Southern Baptist family, it’s a topic I love to discuss and learn more on. I’m not religious though, so hopefully none of my stuff comes off disrespectful, just happens to be a family trade I can’t quite put down.

Turns out I didn’t scroll down long enough. I felt like it had been 5 minutes of flying through and didn’t get that far.
Yeah, if they’re not getting paid well for those hits, then absolutely that’s horse shit for them.
- Comment on Weaker subscription deals have hit indie publishers, says analyst | GamesIndustry.biz 9 months ago:
Yeah i see some defense of the studios in the comments but Devolver hasn’t released something I’ve heard of since the first Good Neighbor outside of potion craft and I only know that one because an off-handed recommendation from a friend l. Not to say I’m some penultimate opinion on games, but if your stuff doesn’t make waves I’m assuming you won’t get money.
Like, everyone wants a Stardew Valley, but only 1/10000000 indie games will receive that kind of love and only 1/100000 indie games would even deserve it. Some are legitimately awesome and present unique gameplay you can’t find anywhere else, and the rest, is shit. It’s poorly designed or implemented, it’s dated, or it’s another super generic RPG Maker level of game and those were NOT going to sell well anyway.
I dont know what the alternative is, but what it is now is shit.
- Comment on PAYDAY 3 will use Denuvo anti-piracy technology in its PC version 10 months ago:
Be honest, you’re a denuvo/DRM shill.
We don’t already know it doesn’t impact performance, we don’t know what checks it will make, and we don’t know that denuvo ACTUALLY impacts sale numbers by convincing those mean old pirates to buy their game.
