What bothers me with this controversy is that it's not clear for me how one can earn a living in the lemmy ecosystem if everything is FOSS. Also, one should understand that the app is in beta, but there was so much hype around that app.

Carbot made a BG3 animation

I'm a fan since his Starcrafts series. He's so clever the way he finds the absurb gameplay mechanics and makes parodies out of it. I guess that if he makes a 2nd episode, it would be on compaignons dying pushed off a cliff, but we somehow be able to take their inventory or ressurect them.

Ilya Samsonov files for salary arbitration

Reply in thread

It means that if there is no contract signed before the arbitration, both parties will give arguments to an arbiter of why the contract (one year only) should be a certain amount. The arbiter will then decide between the two amounts.

It's an option to avoid because the player will receive harsh criticism in the process that will make him want to leave once the contract is expired or before.

Just got my first entry level gaming pc! i have about 30 bucks to spend, what should i get for it?

Here are my recommandations on what is better on PC because of the advantage of mouse and keyboard vs controller by genre:

Strategy: the first thing I wanted to do when I bought my PC is to play Age of Empire 2 and Starcraft 2 and they still are the top games of the genre. It's night and day compared to their console games like Halo Wars. I recommend also the Civilisation series.

Simulators: Cities Skylines and Microsoft flight simulator are fun games and nothing looks like it on console.

MOBA: AFAIK, MOBAs like DOTA 2 and League of Legends only exist on PC because it's unplayable on controller. I don't like these kinds of games, but it's still something that you won't find on console.

FPS: A mouse let you have better control on your aim, but it's less relevant in games with crossplay multiplayer where the aim assist on controller is strong like in Apex Legends and Halo Infinite. Recently, a lot of people enjoy Battlebit.

Baldur’s Gate 3 - Discussion Post #3

I have two campaigns at the same time, one solo, one with a friend. I am amazed how different the campaigns are. Moreover, by discussing with my other friends that play the game, I could play two or three more campaigns and there will be significant differences between the four of them. Per exemple, I have not played dark urge, broken oath paladin, no evil run (I have one but I wasn't evil enough). The replayability is surprisingly good.

I have not finished the game. I'm in Act 3 in one of the campaigns. One thing that help make the campaigns differents is to do the quests in different orders. It lead to unexpected changes.

Ta carte de points de marde

On décrit bien les subtilités liées à la propagande médiatique en occident. Ça semble minuscule, les informations que les médias ont omis lors de sa tournée médiatique. Toutefois, les capitalistes dépensent des milliards pour diffuser leurs message dans les médias. On n'a donc peu de marge d'erreur quand il faut communiquer en faveur de la classe ouvrière.
