Be sure to add your friends so you're able to communicate with them on xbox by other means such as group chats and profile feeds, because the social clubs are going away. Only official game clubs by developers will continue.

I got this from the old Megadeth forum about 10 years ago.

After New Years it became relevant again. No idea who made this one but it isn't new. The idea holds true though 😁

I'd like to hear from someone who's played Phantom Fury on Xbox. Are there annoying bugs or crashes?

I notice they just updated Ion Fury but it seems that it doesn't remember my controller settings so it drives me mad. I don't have any faith in the companies behind this. They took 4 years to release The Aftershock DLC on console and that's just not good enough. We also never got the final patch for Ion Fury, the one that let's you charge up the crossbow and then release it again without wasting the ammo. You can put it away without firing it. Maybe the last patch added that I'm not sure.

There was another bug where enemies never made the noise they make when they spot you. That was fixed on PC 4 years ago but I'm unsure if it's been added to console.

I'm listening to the Perfect Dark soundtrack (2000) I never played this game until last year so I have little bias towards this sound track, like I don't love it just because I heard it when I was a child or anything. I played Goldeneye but not this.

The music is MIDI I think, so it feels familiar. One of the themes sounds similar to Goldeneye's "Cradle" and another one sounds like a track off Battlezone: Combat Commander (Red Odysee DLC)

Perfect Dark is a sci-fi action game, so the music suits that. Sometimes the tempo changes suddenly which is cool. Many games now have movie-like soundtracks which is really boring!

Listen to parts of Perfect Dark and the Battlezone DLC "Red Odysee" and see if you like it.

Hey all, I'm new here. I recently found out about Lemmy. There are a few cool community thingys that I only just learned about this year. In my city there's a meetup for Urbit, which is like your own private intranet that you can run on a Raspberri Pi from your mom's basement. Lots of cool stuff happening, but mostly not in my small city.

Currently I'm watching videos from the YouTube channel Tech With Tim - everything from intermediate python tutorials to computer science class stuff, and what people should know about the classes.

I'm 32 years old and I've probably wasted the last 10 years of my life. I've worked on-and-off in different roles. Everything from cutting timber with a dropsaw and selling timber and plywood to customers, to distribution centre work, and e-scooter mechanic and e-scooter retrieval roles.

Mostly I've been unemployed because the jobs I've worked are unbearable. I mean, 13 hours shifts, unrealistic expectations, constantly being dragged into the manager's office whenever some minor thing goes wrong, or just having a team or two managers going to war with each other over pretty serious problems that affect the business.

I was nearly killed twice in my early 20s while working in a distribution centre, and it made me a bit f***ed up. I've achieved almost nothing in 10 years besides working a few odd jobs here and there. I've moved house on average every 1-2 years and lived in all kinds of noisy buildings where it feels awkward living with the other tenants, and knowing them waaaay too well after a short period of time.

Somehow despite my skills for managing stock, driving forklifts and customer service, I can't hold down any job for longer than a few months. I just hate it and I'm sick of it. So I'm learning programming in my spare time by watching all of these tutorials. I'm trying to get rid of the bad habits that I'd never gotten rid of in the past. Sometimes it's just a technical thing, other times the problem is how I manage my time and stress levels. When I live in a crowded house with 10 other tenants it's a bit hard to focus sometimes. Someone might knock on my door and ask for a knife, or they might ask a question or offer me some spare ingredients that they have, or someone's 4 year old daughter might be running up and down the hall banging the walls and screaming.

Programming

I tried c++ in 2016 and this has left me with pretty good insights into programming. On the Tech With Tim channel, he explains Computer Science degrees to people who have never done any programming before. Thank goodness I already know what I like and dislike about programming, IDEs and operating systems lol

c++ is pretty awesome, but I'm also interested in the straight-forwardness of Python. Some of Tim's videos that I'm watching get into stuff like map/filter/lambda which is probably way over my head at the moment... I definitely prefer the fundamentals and really gritty stuff. Maybe I should become a mathematician.

You can teach a noob how to use string functions in Python, but they might think programming is magic. Learning c language on the other hand, a person must learn arrays and iterate through characters. As a teenager (also in my 20s) I was interested in game development concepts, but now I keep an open mind about different topics: computation costs, how to write a concise if-else statement, and basic stuff like that. I realise how little I really know when I watch Tech With Tim. Like, I didn't even know you could use the global keyword inside a for loop or function (in python). I thought you just passed the global into a function and it stayed global, because you return it at the end, but that's a mistake. Actually, I mainly used c++ in the past so I would've probably used pointers and references to access global variables, rather than a keyword.

Anyway, I've probably been doing things the wrong way for a long time. Plus I got caught up getting all depressed and drinking too much vodka xD

I'm so glad that I can approach this programming stuff with a level head these days (being 32 really helps). Maybe when I'm about 50 I'll be able to afford to study again and not live in such a noisy house. Like I have my own bathroom but who cares, I still have to share a kitchen with 10 people and hear my neighbours screaming and arguing with their relatives.

The world is so stupid but I'm grateful to have such great free education via YouTube (or FreeCodeCamp if you're into frontend)

I'm going to hang out on some Lemmy instances because social media is cancer.

I wish I could maintain my own Lemmy or my own forum, but for now I'll just check out other people's stuff. I had a MyBB forum a while ago for neighbourhood security, it was fairly successful but I closed it down and now I don't even bother to have a domain name. It costs too much money. My rent is going up as well as fuel. I try to use free stuff where I can hahaha

I'm typing this in firefox on windows 10 and every minute or so, I feel the system seize up and my letters don't type as I'm pressing the buttons. Gosh this is annoying I think I will install Linux on my other drive sometime this week. Maybe I will revert to OpenSUSE XFCE. Anything for a performance gain!
