3·2 days agoI did.
6·3 days agoSomeone on YouTube made their first playthrough an all-hit run without parries or dodges. On Expert. They had to grind a bit but made it work. I think the Curator fight where he teaches you jumping was the hardest because his damage scales with your level.

They even beat Simon without one-shotting him. Impressive stuff.
It really proves that the game can be a normal JRPG, albeit a grindy one in the beginning.
When I have the choice I’ll always choose F-Droid over Play. I trust them much more. And often if there is a paid version alongside the free version you usually get the paid features on F-Droid for free.
And then there is Expedition 33 which added the story mode so that Jennifer English could play it.
But it’s No Nutt November!
2·3 days agoLemmy’s databse schema was updated for 1.0. I hope that will address many of the performance problems. It’s due to release soonish. The beta is just around the corner.
Simon the Sorcerer Origins was recently released and their Linux version didn’t even run. Their run script contained just two lines and both of them were plain wrong. And after I fixed them the controller didn’t work.
I’ve made an update script that tries to run the migrations and index updates in one go.
#!/bin/bash /usr/bin/php8.3 /cloud/updater/updater.phar --no-interaction --no-backup /usr/bin/php8.3 /cloud/occ maintenance:repair --include-expensive /usr/bin/php8.3 /cloud/occ db:add-missing-indicesThe updater itself is by far the slowest of the three commands. I think downloading the new version into a different folder and just moving apps and files over would be much quicker. But I haven’t had the time to look at potential errors with that method.
Some packages recommend other packages that are not really dependencies. Do you use apt? I think it has a
--without-recommendsflag or something similar.
@WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com has pills for that.
Do you have a screenshot?
They only showed water ice. No ice cream. Which also exists in vegan form.
The evidence is that even on good equipment the dialogue is hard to hear.
8·5 days agoIn Casino Royale (the real one from 1967) they actually do that. They call every agent, male and female, James Bond to confuse the enemy.
121·5 days agoThis myth gets brought up so often despite numerous evidence to the contrary. The sound sucks for people with good equipment as well. The sound sucks in theaters.
They just seem to have a hard-on for mumbling. Because of realism or something.
71·6 days agoClair Obscur: Expedition 33 has one of the most interesting world in stories inside and outside of gaming. I hope we will see many more stories set in that world.
The hook alone is great.
Spoiler for the prolog and trailers.
Around the end of the 19th century the whole world broke apart and a part of Paris (called Lumiere in the game) was thrown into the sea.
And this giant “Paintress” started painting the number 100 on an enormous monolith and each year she counts down. And everyone who is that old or older evaporates into ash and flower petals.
So the people started sending out expeditions to find out wtf is going on.
Spoiler for the rest of the game.
The world is actually a magical painting the Paintress’ son made when he was a child. For him, his sister and their parents to play in. But when he was an adult their other sister was tricked by “the Writers” into setting a fire which killed him.
In her grief the mother fled into the painting because it was the last bit she had of him. Fearing she would stay in there until she died of starvation the father went in as well to get her out. As she wouldn’t relent he started erasing the painting and she tried to prevent that. Every year painting the age of the people she wouldn’t be able to save from him onto the monolith.
So we actually have this world of magical Painters and Writers who are at war with each other and it is hinted that there are Musicians as well. And who knows what other artists with magical powers exist in this world. I’m imagining Programmers joining the fray in the future. The possibilities both inside any art pieces and outside in the “real” world are endless.

Long Covid has me tied to bed 24/7. I’m basically just a worm now. My wife still loves me. Yay?
Techdweeb recently recommended the G350 as an all round good starter handheld. He tests a lot of handhelds so I’m inclined to believe him.
In the end it depends on what you want. What’s your budget? What kind of performance do you want? Does it have to be pocketable?
Depending on your answer to these questions a controller for your smartphone or a full blown Steam Deck might be what’s best suited for you.
