Multiplay games won’t work with it

that’s not actually a guarantee: BG3 has multiplayer and works just fine without the launcher. as do plenty of others.

yeah, saw that comment later…seems like a troll…

nah, they’re just THAT dense and have no idea what they’re talking about…not a troll, just too dumb to realize they’re being dumb…

or…you know… they’re just morons.

there’s a whole sub-community around building physics exploit driven crafts:

look up “kraken drives” ;)

you’re arguing government action with a user that hails from “@lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org”.

i don’t foresee a fruitful discussion, mate…

noita is insane and has absolutely zero handholding. it’s truly hardcore and kinda souls-like in difficulty/lore, but truly excellent!

magicraft is the king in casual spell crafting, very good game to play a bit after work, can call it quits anytime and pick it back up again. just had it’s full launch as well and might still be -20% (about 12€)

fictorum is fairly unique, because it’s first-/third-person and 3D, and also very good with an intuitive spell system and a little bit of indie game jank

thank you very much!

also: ha! i’m doing the same thing! currently at book 2 ;)

you probably already know this, but for anyone else:

The Cosmere Series (of which the Mistborn Saga is a part of) does heavily feature Sci-Fi as well as post-apocalypse themes alongside (mostly) fantasy (Sci-Fi: the sunlit man, tress of the emerald sea; post-apocalypse: Stormlight Archives, Yumi And The Nightmare Painter), which made me think OP was talking about this series specifically.

In some of the other books it is mentioned that all of the powers originally came from a being called Adonalsium (basically God). what fuels all these manifestations of powers is called Investiture. Each Shard of Adonalsium manifests different Powers, Allomancy is just one of them.

so it’s a unique mix of classic fantasy, sci-fi, and post-apocalypse genres in a single gigantic saga, in which the sci-fi and post-apocalypse themes are intentionally kept vague and in the background.

highly recommend all of the other books!

they are great in their own right, and also give a LOT of extra bits and peaces of the overall lore!

what’s best about the series is, as you’ve already explained, the “hard-fantasy/sci-fi” approach to powers: all power requires some kind of source, everything comes from something.

best to do the Stormlight Archives after Mistborn (either order works), then the rest; order doesn’t really matter, although i recommend Tress of the emerald Sea and The Sunlit Man to be read last, because they contain a lot of sci-fi lore, which is best enjoyed last (imho)

also: Stormlight Archives Book 5 is coming relatively soon, i think it’s december?

not true; that’s a developer thing, not steam itself.

steam offers it as an option, it doesn’t force developers to use it.

plenty of games bought on steam can be run entirely without steam.

aber “DU”, da geht noch was!

f95zone has it almost certainly, if not, request it in a request thread, done.

works for pretty much any NSFW title ;)

not really, highly depends on the game… definitely worth checking beforehand though!

haven’t run into any problems so far, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t trigger anti-cheats

FYI, for anyone interested in fixing this kind of bs:

there’s a program calle WeMod that easily fixes this kind of thing.

it’s basically an automated trainer platform that let’s you cheat in games with 0 prerequisites, know-how, or effort.

highly recommended for stuff like assassin’s creed, far cry, and similar games with bullshit grind.

setting xp/dmg/resources to something like 2 or 3X literally makes the game playable again!

(probably collects a ton of telemetry, which I don’t care about on my gaming system…)

the DLC are pricey, but they’re also proper, old school expansions adding lots of content that actually enhances the game.

it’s perfectly playable without the DLC, and there’s a LOT of DLC-sized mods on the workshop!

kind of a fundamental problem with modern DLC: they generally don’t get cheaper over time (remember when that was an actual thing? not just sales, but actually lower prices for older games?).

if you keep up with the releases it’s super okay at about 20/25€ once a year, maybe twice, bur if you’re late to the party it’s a whole lot of cash all at once!

exactly why paradox introduced a subscription for Stellaris’ DLCs at 10€/month… honestly kinda worth it, if you know you’re just gonna play for a while and then move on…still wish stuff would just get cheaper at some point again…

Also let me emphasize this: for every discord server shut down like this, there are 100+ servers with almost the same purpose that still exist and will continue to for at least the next 3y.

you completely missed the point here:

the issue that those aren’t around NOW, the issue is that they WILL inevitably disappear eventually and every shred of knowledge platformed there will be irretrievably lost to the void.

discord is a black hole for information:

it sucks information in and deletes it from existence.

that’s why it’s bad.

the time frame doesn’t really matter here.

Patch 6 only really broke the script extender (well hotfix #18 really)

nvm, just checked, it’s up to date! (hotfix #19 is supported!)

pretty much everything is up to date!

pretty sure ATM9 recommended minimum RAM is 10GB…i have it at 12GB.

but i also run it at about 100fps and view distance set around 16 with shaders…

i don’t think so, but you can either entirely disable it, or make them passive, or tune it to your liking; there’s tons of customizability in the difficulty!

it’s honestly some pretty smart design in how they handled it! you should give it a try, see if you like it!

one little beginners tip that’s kinda important: they always choose the shortest path to your base (so pretty much any structure you build) and they attack based on your power consumption! (there’s a little widget that tells you when a wave is coming)

(the dark fog update is seriously sick tho)
