I haven’t read the article, probably won’t, doesn’t really interest me. But I thought the title pretty clearly implies you don’t play as the shooter. I’m surprised others didn’t interpret the same way.

You can add it to steam, it’s free and dlc bought from ea works with the steam version.

I find it’s easier to get the ea version running though, so I usually just add the launcher as a non steam game, and that works fine too.

I haven’t tried these so I cannot comment on their quality. But this has a list. Of particular note is RetroArch, OpenEMU, and Gens as three FOSS options.

Edit: Also, alternativeto.net is usually a decent source for finding alternatives for specific software. Here’s the list for Kega Fusion alternatives. This has some more options than the other link I provided.

I quite enjoyed the dungeon keeper games back in the day

IIRC Exanima itself was never meant to be the full open world RPG. It was always intended to be a smaller game to perfect some of the game mechanics for their ultimate goal of building that open world RPG. I have no idea if they still plan to build that other game or if they are working on it in parallel or have ditched it entirely.

Edit: The community seems to believe that the devs are still planning to make Sui Generis at any rate. Exanima has been in EA for 10 years or so now, and based on what I’m seeing online they are almost at their 1.0 release version, at which point they will divert their attention to to Sui Generis. Take with a pinch of salt, as this information comes from the r/exanima community on reddit.

When I set up mine, I created a separate /data mount point and drive for anything that I expect to keep between distros. The problem with keeping the home directory is that means all your personalized config files which may or may not apply to a new distro you switch to. I keep configs I want to keep in a git repo (like my i3 configs and scripts that I absolutely wouldn’t want to redo from scratch), data I want to keep in /data, and everything else can pretty much be wiped for a new distro on a whim without too much hassle.

Right, someone else does it too, so that obviously makes it OK right?

Yeah, I definitely died a few times when I first started playing the game on release. And then tons of times after that too because the game is very unforgiving at the start (But gets better as you improve your skills).

Just an FYI though, those types of spoilers don’t work on Lemmy clients other than Sync. So your spoiler is just visible to anyone that is not using Sync. Sadly, Lemmy’s spoiler format isn’t supported by sync, so you’re screwed either way.

Yeah, at the beginning of the game you’re complete ass at swordplay. You get better as you improve your skills and learn how to parry, but those are gated behind experience and training in the game.

I suspect you may have been running the wrong way. It’s an easy mistake to make. But that entire sequence can be challenging even after you get on a horse.

I just tried again now with JS enabled and my ad blocker enabled in Firefox, and it seems to be working ok now.

Whatever the reason, this appears to be fixed now.

Yes, as soon as I enabled JS I see the same behaviour. It seemed fine with JS disabled though, albeit with nothing showing in the sidebar.

You know it can straddle two genres right? I don’t disagree that it also had metroidvania elements.

While I generally agree with what you’re saying. Jedi Fallen Order has several hallmarks of the soulslike genre. Meditation resets enemies. You collect “souls” under a different name. The difficulty isn’t really up to scratch for a soulslike, mind you, but IMO it definitely falls into that genre.

If the internet has taught me anything, it’s that every fandom has it’s insanely toxic element. Especially every game fandom.

I really like that in RDR2 you can disable the mini map and replace it with a plain compass. It has the added feature that you can briefly show the mini map again if you need to get your bearings, and it disappears after a short delay. Definitely helps with the immersion.

Gyro aiming, once you get the hang of it, is pretty great for fine tuning your aim. You do the large movements with the stick, then fine tune with the gyro. With practice it’s very effective.

I have it in my library, but I don’t think I’ve ever actually played it. Now’s as good a time as any.

His channel really went to shit over the past few years.
