How do you obtain your music?
  • When I find a song, I like to keep it. Streaming cant do that. You can create playlists of course, but they may at any time silently remove or replace that song. You dont know suffering until you've heard a bad cover of Hotel California.

    Now I only buy mp3s. Mostly from 7digital.com or Bandcamp. Amazon dont sell music to Norwegians somewhy. The last album I bought I finally had to download iTunes because thats the only place except for Amazon they released. The app wasnt as intrusive and DRM enforcing anymore as it used to be a long time ago. So I might use iTunes a bit more now. (Yeah, I tend to hold a grudge against software companies for a LONG time. You hear that, reddit!)

    Got all my mp3s (23 GB) stored on Onedrive, and use CloudPlayer on android to stream it wherever.

  • Don’t forget the last Bethesda AAA game - The Fall of 76 - YouTube
  • Well, now we are two. Fo76 never disappointed me. Though I did wonder if they were crazy for focusing so much on PvP early on in a game so clearly unbalanced.

    Though I wish they could have exanded the map a bit. Once everything was explored and the original main campaign was beat, I lost interest. Tried the new main campaign too, introducing NPCs, but the quests just took me to the same old places, and was thematically uninteresting and didn't fit the world. BoS was better, but again theres a limit to how often I want to enter the few same buildings to find a quest item.

  • What are some good classic Fallout-likes
  • They are all standalone stories. I think Hong Kong was the best one. Really felt like I bonded with my crew.

  • What helps you decide on picking up a book from an unknown author?
  • Short-stories is how I discover new authors right now. Either through a collection or free on the web.

  • This community is great. If we hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes should fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
  • If it doesn't, dont blame yourself, Kif. We were doomed from the start.

  • Question about how web domains work
  • Q: So does ICANN have its own Doman Name Server (for those who dont know: list of domain and IPs, like a phone catalog) that the other commercial DNS' (like local ISPs and Google DNS and cloudflare DNS) is connected directly to?

  • Apparently Cyberpunk 2077 is good now?
  • I havent had any issues with mods on my GoG version. I'm using https://www.nexusmods.com/ / Vortex application to install mods.

    TL;DR: This is not a DLC. This is Cyberpunk 2.0.

    • virtually every system of the main game has been changed and/or updated
    • police system is completely reworked with multiple tiers of NCPD/mercs chasing you down in vehicles according to your wanted level, apparently on level 5 maxtac will chase you down and it will be some sort of bossfight against them (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riK1i8lQwRM&t=511s)
    • perks and skills have been completely overhauled, no longer simple passive stat boosts, much more active abilities like different melee finishers, a dash, or the ability to deflect bullets with melee weapons
    • an entirely new 6th skill tree that uses a different type of skill points (relic points) that will be used to add new abilities to your cyberware
    • the difficulty curve is reworked/rebalanced
    • the loot tiers are reworked
    • archetypes of enemies have been redone for more variety in combat encounters
    • installing cyberware now has an effect on your body and you cant install too much or else you will go cyberpsycho (no idea what that looks like in game)
    • installing cyberware now has a first person cutscene added to it, just like in the prologue at Vik's clinic
    • you can now "attune" cyberware to one of your attributes, making it more efficient if you have invested in that attribute; example here optical camo is attuned to the "cool" attribute: https://i.imgur.com/1UI9SEX.png
    • armor is no longer tied to clothing, it is instead tied to your cybernetics
    • vehicle combat is added to the game, you can even use your katana on your bike
    • you will be able to hack vehicles, similar to the Watch Dogs games
    • vehicles are no longer bought from fixers, but bought through a website set up by wakako
    • some vehicles have guns installed on them (machine guns, rocket launchers)
    • new type of infinitely replayable/repeatable missions are being added where you need to steal certain vehicles marked on your map
    • new activity introduced "airdrops", loot caches that drop randomly on the map that you can fight over and retrieve for yourself
    • tons of new random events/activities are added to make the world feel more alive, like car chases and gang fights

  • Wait with playing until after september. They are coming out with a DLC then that changes ALOT of gameplay.

  • Which Futurama line(s) do you find yourself quoting for no raisin?
  • With my last breath I curse Zoidberg! Or variants therein. In other words I'm blaming a lot of my ills on that crustacean.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Yeah, but I almost always end up using the !g bang anyway. And its so stuck in my fingers that I sometimes mistakenly write !g wen searchphrase when I want to search on wikipedia. Im cursed.

  • Looks like CS2 will have mixed use zoning!
  • Seems they taken inspiration from a few of the mods everyone uses. If they haven't taken anything from TMPE, the modding community will surely re-create the mod for CS2.

  • Once I figured out how it works, traffic management became fun. And money-growing-management-stuff and the waiting is what ruined the game for me. So now I'm playing with infinite money and the only challenges are traffic and making stuff look good. Getting people to where they want to be with lane management, public transport networks, and bikes and pedestrian paths.

    What is the challenges you prefer in city builder games?

  • Cities: Skylines II - Pre-Order Trailer
  • Holy crap, I want! October cant get here fast enough. Can my computer even run this? Seems like they have a lot of the first's DLC content baked into the base game now. Also a lot of features that we had to use mods for in the first. Hope they also keep the asset building and modding stuff as good as the first one.

  • another beehaw introduction thread
  • I too started on C64! Though in my case it was as late as '92 when a seven year young kid got an already old C64 with cassette player, a manual, and no games. Sometimes one gotta make ones own fun, literally.

  • What's your favorite book(s) of all time?
  • Same. Its the book series that most shaped my younger years and love of world building and fantasy fiction.

  • I think this is the first time I have ever seen a post with over 1000 upvotes on lemmy.
  • Its 1 kilovote so should be a kilostone. Cant place a milestone until 1 610 votes.

  • Thunderbird 115 Reaches Beta with Updated UI and Improved OpenPGP Support
  • Updated UI? Good. I went with emClient because Thunderbirds UI was so darn outdated looking. Also because the calendar and contacts plugins worked badly with gmail, resetting birthday dates and stuff.

  • Cory Doctorow: The ‘Enshittification’ of [internet platforms like] TikTok
  • Past two decades, you mean? (I'm still mad about the crowd choosing MSN Messenger over open protocol chat programs back in '00)
