  • It’s good to know I’m not alone… I buy a lot of games and have a huge catalogue over a number of systems. It really is the thing I enjoy most as downtime.

    However, I can count on one hand how many title screens I have seen over the last 5 years. I get so far, lose interest, move on. Several months later I will feel like playing again, wipe the save and start over rinse and repeat.

    Games that keep calling me back however are Skyrim, Fallout 4 and the Bioshock trilogy.






  • That a Welsh username by chance?

    And yea, thoroughly depressing… I find the situation similar to the old micro transaction / shit game port situation where the masses couldn’t care less and the small minority rebel and have little to no effect.

    Sadly those that care about these things are generally grossly outweighed by those that couldn’t give a toss. I haven’t been back to Reddit for 4-5 weeks now and as a very early Reddit adopter I thought the break would be harder than what it has been. I have mentioned in a few posts here that the most surprisong thing to me is how often I was being served subtle ads guised in the form of content on Reddit. In 4 weeks or more I don’t think I have seen a brand as such mentioned on Lemmy yet with Reddit it was legit every dozen posts. I knew this went on, but it took a week or so on Lemmy for me to realise the actual extent of it…

    Good riddance to the place, Lemmy feels like the early doors of the internet and I’m quite comfortable here :)



  • This is just beautiful! I’m most definitely sharing this with my Co dev tomorrow. He is going to love the level of scope creep (he is well known for dropping us right in it and leaving them get away with things never discussed or agreed before hand) and the dogs and logo is chefs kiss!

    I’m perplexed daily by what planet some people are living on. Just when you think you have witnessed it all, seen every crazy request in the book a client drops one pit of the blue that leaves you with a feeling of “how the fuck do I respond to this without insinuating their a total and utter moron”.








  • Thank you !

    At the moment I want it out of the box and just work. I want to see natively how much of my workflow I can actually migrate across. I am however a brute in my day job and have no doubt that once I’m relatively comfortable with some form of Linux I will stretch it and eventually head somewhere I can fully customise like Arch.

    I’m semi Linux literate as I manage a number of web servers so I understand the absolute basics. No more, no less :)
