Nice observation. Nonetheless it is wrong in any circumstance.

Guess it might be benefitting from fans though 😄

Haha, that also came to mind, it’s pretty poor. Paraphrasing: "Users on Metacritic saying it “ruined” the online mode - an indicator that they are very displeased. "

You don’t say? 😄

Greetings 👋 I really do care! Expressing myself genuinely aswell as putting in the effort to understand where the other person is coming from: that builds bridges, connects and leads to worthwhile discussions. Bad faith discussions do not, I think.

I heard a quote once, paraphrasing, that tries to convey:

Good etiquette means is trying to understand the other as well as one can. That stuck with me eversince. I try to understand where the other party is coming from as well as I can. Genuinely.

My experience with that is that you build bridges. My experience without that is each side is expressing opinions, that fall flat on each other’s ears more often.

Don’t be mistaken though! It does not mean to be a pushover, nor people pleaser. It means to gracefully, exercise a conscious effort, to understand - and I noticed my arguments could be way stronger even, as they are more precise. And more accepted by others.

Now you are talking about a specific point, dismissing a debate. Because someone else argues in bad faith. Am I correct in the assumption that people told you they don’t want to discuss any further as they feel you’re coming out of a position of bad faith?

If I suspect or feel the other person is arguing in bad faith, so not being interested in finding a genuine communication channel, then it’s just that: voicing an opinion, discussing only to be able to repeat that opinion. monologue disguised as dialog. Not much value.

And it’s okay to express an opinion, it’s even sometimes okay to not wanting to discuss it - but others can sense that too and don’t want their time wasted.

So let’s discuss genuinely ☀️

actually I changed my mind, think its not what I was looking for

Ah, yes thx

That’s a cool suggestions. Where can one find something like that I wonder 🤔

This was such a nice read! I can totally feel that you are inspired by old video game magazines. Feels so fresh and your personality really does shines through 😊

Also gifs convey so much at a glimpse, no gaming site should use just Screenshots I’m convinced now 😅. No really, I got interested in a few games on the list just because I “felt” them way more than seeing Screenshots on some news site.

I love those posts, thank you so much.

With Captain blood and tridents tale we even have 2 pirate themed games today. I am surprised by Captain blood, I know quite some niche stuff in video games, but never heard of it.

The one click mods coming to gog are really cool, allows you to step in a curated alternative form of a beloved game without the hassle. I’m curious what we will get there. I could imagine a version for gothic 1, which is such an interesting game, but very clunky - but there are fan patches to address that.

Btw. I see an “Arari” where it should probably be “Atari”. Not to nitpick, but rather to express my appreciation for the post.

I’m also looking forward to the next remedy release, those guys are very special to me.

Again, thanks for the writeup, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also the wider look including the PS2 and gog office rooms. ☀️

Get well PerfectDark ❤️

Yeah it’s really no replacement but it feels special to some extend. ☀️

I would mostly agree. The magic of video games and the virtual worlds was bridged to the real world by sharing them with friends. I can totally see that!

I guess “modern” gaming works best when playing online with friends (not every game allows that of course), and wind down type of games. Self care gaming 😄.

I had some great moments though screensharing my game on discord while being able to watch what my friend was playing on their screenshare. There is something - even though that it is not exactly what you were hinting at, as obviously you can’t directly influence the game that the other is playing - but it is a shared experience in some way that makes it feel connected and special.

That post gave me food for thought.

That’s going to gather some attention from the big publishers.

Would be interested what you fedis think about that?

edit: interested in opinions regarding the news as the game is surrounded by quite a bit of controversy, not “just” the publishers part I mentioned.

Nice job, nice to see people being able to fix their stuff 🌞

Just wanted to leave some appreciation here. I like that the blog post is so concise but still nicely follow able. Also it seems to prove the loading times quite a bit even though the solution is somewhat rudimentary. Love the spirit 😊

😄 I actually think that is a fair point you make. I am waiting patiently for a full version that I can install on a living room pc. So for me there is also no immediate benefit, yet, as you put it. I still see the development very positively!

Is there a possibility to play a campaign in online coop?

😄 Oh no haha. Does he have another area he does excel in?

yeah, I guessed something like that happened, but either way, nice to see to get more linux coverage! 😊

For now not that spectacular, it’s the base for upcoming tests. Nice to see though and hopefully we can see Linux based benchmarks more commonly in the future

Great to see Firefox getting cool features again
