The Octonaut

It’s the Netherlands, if you’re a self-described cyclist, they like bikes more than you do. Your assertion is a bad one.

It’s the Netherlands, the cars aren’t automatic.

The Catholic ones yes

Yeah, if it’s not clear, this is exactly one kind of uninteresting game. Not the “Itch Summer Sale”.

Well apart from how tired the “this thing is bad, this thing is good” meme format is, I think there are credible allegations of grooming?

This comic somehow funnier than the average for the artist.

Fascinated by what the reaction would be to a male comic strip person trying to address a serious issue that women face through the medium of a simplified… oh shit is this loss?

Well I’ve definitely given it a fair go.

It’s had so many free updates because it is a visual game and so every reason to make a new trailer is new marketing. Every trailer is 3 second jump cuts of something visually interesting. Ocassionally giving away that the gameplay is still “aim the same tool that does the same thing at a rock, plant or creature until a number goes up in the ship. Use the bigger number in the ship to improve how high the number is allowed to go in the ship. Use the ship to get to a new rock, plant or creature. Oh and learn words?” I just genuinely do not understand what people are getting from it. Maybe there’s a plateau in the point in the game I’m at and I am simply another 4 hours of pointing at rocks, plants and creatures until I unlock the fun, but I am old. I don’t have time to unlock the fun. To be fair I’ve never been the grinding sort.

And I’m definitely into “explore space and build things in a non-story, non-linear way”

OK Lemmy’s being weird but here is where the screenshot of 2500 hours in Kerbal Space Program goes.

Enjoy your, eh, interesting heightmap and unspecified directives to accomplish mysteries.

Exploration implies there is anything but a slightly different colour palette of the same world but with alien dinosaurs of different proportions onto which to build the same base.

Loads more content and still nothing to do after 2 hours

The issue is taking a broad concept and making it mean a very specific one instead.

(Please note I am an atheist that lived for years in a “Muslim country”. I don’t actually agree with any of the below, but understanding what words are intended to mean is important when you are surrounded by their use in 2 different contexts).

Fatwa: a Sharia law ruling by an imam

Fatwa (western): a ruling by an imam that a person is not protected by the law and therefore a target for assassination

Hijab: men and women of Islam should maintain a sense of visual propriety in order to avoid devaluing what can be seen in private.

Hijab (western): that cloth Islamic women wear on their head.

Jihad: the righteous struggles that each human faces to choose a difficult path for good reasons.

Jihad (western): a holy war of aggression against infidels

The same reputation extends to Windows too so I don’t think it’s a Linux specific issue.

I like the UX as it’s pretty powerful but I’m mindful of being ancient and having spent nearly a decade working with arcane telco applications. I have the opposite of your complaint - I like that it does periodic checks and will notify you of detected problems and usually give you a button to press to solve it.

My biggest pain usually comes in load order management. Usually this is because this is mentioned nowhere but in a note at the bottom of the mod description that might say something like “near the top” or “after mod x”. I don’t know how Steam just handles this mostly but I have a feeling it might be strong categorisation of mods.

No-one has ever told me what’s actually wrong with Vortex.

Yeah I agree, it seems to be built on the same components as VScode and VScodium. Honestly, I don’t see the point… yeah, sure, they want their editor to work on the web, but couldn’t they have don’t that with a GUI lib that compiles to WASM?

Yeah I agree, it feels like it’s only for open source purists aka a minority.

The stones of Stonehenge have been there for millennia, yes, but they are only in their modern configuration since the 1950s, as a best guess reconstruction of something that had been lost long ago.

The Bamyan statues were much younger, but were largely intact as they had been for 1,400 years. And, y’know, got blown up rather than doused with a bit of colour (which frankly was probably a better recreation of what happened at the real Stonehenge than the LARPing the faux druids do).

Do you understand the difference between blowing up ancient statues with dynamite, and throwing some chalk on stones that have been in place since the 1950s?

So… is Bay over Bae canon now?

I’d be surprised if many of those are verified for steam deck?
