    Not a puzzle game, but Noita throws you right in without any explanation or tutorial. Everything is trial and error to the point where people complain that you can't figure things out without the wiki. Love the game though, one of the most unique games I know.

    The Souls games never really held your hand either.

    Hollow Knight, The Binding of Isaac and Elite Dangerous are other games I can think of that want you to figure things out.

    I get what you're saying, but I've been upgrading my PC over the years and still noticed that with games of big game companies, they care less and less about performance. I firmly believe that publishers, in an attempt to cut costs, tell the game studio to not prioritize performance, while trying to rely on software like super resolution algorithms, to make their games run. In some instances they reused old game Engines for a new and bigger game, for example with Cyberpunk, Stellaris and Elden Ring. Smaller developers are doing everything they can to make a game run smoothly. The best example for this is Factorio. That is my opinion and I totally understand your point of view.

  • loo loo 4 months ago 71%

    My first distro was Ubuntu and I've been very happy with it. Many hate it for being bloated or because of the snap package manager, but in my uninformed opinion I think it's a solid choice for beginners, since everything is already set up and ready to go. On my laptop I'm trying out NixOS, but I'm having more trouble setting that up and it's better for advanced users, I believe. Many also recommended Linux Mint, which is also good for beginners, but doesn't have the snap package manager like ubuntu does.

    • They changed the keybindings without giving you the ability to edit keybindings yourself
    • The performance is bad
    • The game speed is linked to framerate and the longer your run is, the slower your game runs
    • The former point results in players in multiplayer getting kicked because of synchronization issues
    • Many minor bugs such as science ships getting trapped at one planet because they cant ever finish surveying them
    • DLCs being absolutely overpriced sometimes
    • Mechanics being absolutely unbalanced

    I bought the game on release and played the game for over 700 hours since and I had to witness many patches that introduced so many bugs

    What are the risks of installing Vanguard on a PC with dual boot?

    tl;dr: Security concerns for my Linux partition, when running Vanguard on Windows? Now that Vanguard is out, I can't play LoL on Linux anymore. I'm running a **dual boot** setup with windows and I'm using it only for stuff I can't get to work on Linux, so there is **no personal data** on there. - Are there any security risks for my Linux partition, if Vanguard is installed and running on my Linux partition? - Could Vanguard potentially access my ext4 Linux file system via Windows? - If my NAS is mounted on Windows, could that also be a security concern? I'm grateful for any kind of feedback, since I'm not very informed in terms of rootkits and kernels!

    I wish the way FromSoft makes DLCs would be the standard in the industry. I know their model doesn't work for every genre of videogame, but I love that they actually put a lot of work into one or two DLCs and focus on a new game after releasing them. It doesn't feel like they take a part out of the base game and sell it to you for extra cash. They never sell day one DLCs and usually the DLC is the best part of the game (at least for me). FromSoftware is the only company I preorder games from and I'll happily preorder this DLC.
