I kinda always forget the link name and have to look it up.

Would also be cool to make it "more in your face" for everyone to undermine the sense of broad community and I think people at the more casual userbase end dont even know about that site!

Proton send me this offer with a timer of 2,3 days.

I'd gladly take the offer if there wasn't the potential for me to accidentally show Google my proton mail.. Is there a way for a newbie like me?

see spoiler-formatted section in the post for a more detailed image altough its the same source.

looks like some images are lower resolution over photon than over other frontends for no reason. It bothered me so much, looks like its only this frontend, isnt it?

is there a way to use photon differently to get full res because clicking the download icon (open in new tab) doesnt do it neither.

Will this be fixed?

At least in my perception the initial reactions to Marathon are overwhelmingly bad and for Arc Raiders overwhelmingly good Im genuinely interested in what key differences these two extractor shooters bear to spark such a delta since I like to talk about game design specifics.

So what do you think in specific, like what is that much better in arc raiders to compete with established blockbusters like tarkov?

Marathon is "just another extraction shooter" is what I heard as a sentiment. So this is going off the assumption that both games do nothing new as in "been there done that"

My imperssions of Marathon:

• I see how "graphical realism" art style is a complete flop - personally as a trained media designer (elements on the map i.e. having that printer test stamp - very cliche)
• gun models and characters feel like they are not worthy of that universe
• the running shield animations dont help that either haha
• personally dislike hero shooter elements
• UI design aesthetic is very intern-level and execution often questionable (visual weighting off, uninteresting/overloaded pictograms) -> but: the implementation of the one in-game at least seems to have high level execution weirdly enough.

-> but: Gunplay seems fresh? Like no game has done that responsive recoil feedback before, no?

-> but: sound design seems very good too?

Arc Raiders has some really strong points I see:

• The audio design is top (not a sound designer so cant tell you specifics).
• The UI in the A to A- department, only adding responsive UI elements and other fancy tech could add as a final optional highlight.
• Presentation and staging of the world elements seems abolutely like a blockbuster movie. Huge structures and generally a feel like youre in that post apocalyptic rebel world.

-> but: The long term combat appeal of arc is questionable, progression and long term motivation unclear.

That seems a little lacking for such negative rating, sure addicted gamers tend to be very emotional about these things but idk - even more laid back people seem to agree with these evaluations - in sum these points above are smaller likes or dislikes, but in its essence and gameplay both games do nothing much different - dont they?

Is it because the dev studio's reputations mainly? Also marathon having such a rich backbone, feels like its disrespected by the studio. Tell me my what specifics you like and dislike in these titles - did you feel different about the games?

Hear me out: Had these ideas to ensure lemmy doesn't derail into a short video/meme spiral like every other social platform

• Additional (more specific) up/downvote buttons.

Like "original vs generic", "low effort vs detailed"

Not only can we ensure the engagement doesn't derail into an X-like anarchy or Instagram meme fest, but we can also then sort comments by parameters (ie. you've seen 20 pun comments about the headline and broad topic at hand but want to see actual thoughts about a linked article)

Another idea:

• Instances are commonly offering donation buttons since they need to fund the servers. What if we tied cosmetic "superlike" awards to donations.

Thoughts? Very interested in your inputs/adaptations to my ideas or other cool concepts you have to ensure lemmy staying solid while growing

Do you guys trust these domains - how come?

(and same for the other 3 invidious instances: invidiousNerdvpnDe, invNadekoNet and id420129xyz) sorry im new to privacy

any help appreciated

I never have really modded before but am very interested and even fiddled around in game engines with tutorials. Hard for me but still modding is definitely a big interest I have passively. I also got skyrim wildlanders to work (formerly ultimate skyrim) back in the years. But my memory how I did that is forgotten.

All I know is there was a readme/guide I followed and had to pay like 5€ for faster downloads

Now, I want to mod the Oblivion remaster (heres the mods Id love to try Mod 1: No-HUD , Mod 2: No Compass, Mod 3: Color Reshade

Id be so happy if theres anyone here who could help me answer some questions:

• The other two mods have an .ini and the other one a small instruction to place files in "\OblivionRemastered\Content\Paks" - so every mod is different in installing, how do I install these mods (like the ini) - is it enough for the 2 of them to follow the description? What about the reshade one ("ini only") ?

• Also is it even safe to mod like this on xbox app PC, like is online connectivity safe?

• Do I need to back something up beforehand? game downloaded all day.. would be painful to do that again

Hope youre having a good time all, and thanks for reading in any way.

And nobody seems to bother (or highlight it which would be the job of the commenter)

I just browsed the feed for 20 mins after a month off being sober and don't miss the disguised instagram feed at all - short videos, meme comments, no old forum experience whatsoever. But thankfully we have that on Lemmy now, so Lemmy try that :)

Btw I didnt even read more than 5 comments total.. heres examples:

EDIT: look at how many "people" reply to that stuff - what a sheit show

I am too new to privacy and only got FreeTube(PC) and NewPipe(phone) to run with alot of failures on better applications. Thats another problem Id need help with but primarily this post is about the feature included on this platform in the setting (screenshot).

Any idea how to get this to run that way?

Like can we make this a more vocal opinion that Triple-A studios/publishers are like legally required to offer a version.. Or what is your take on that, especially if you have a similar opinion with a deviation in execution. let me know why if you dont agree too!

I'd love to have and collect DRM free titles that last even after a platform is gone, also ubi cant pull off clown shows like the crew or whatever racing game they just erased out of power tripping spite
