It was meant to be a spoof in that it was so on the nose was it not? I enjoyed it with that lense

I've never completed the main quest
I've recently decided to get all the achievements for Skyrim which led to me finally completing the main quest (which I felt was shorter than many of the side missions like the college etc) and been enjoying it massively. It gives a bit of direction to a game where there's also something else to be achieved.

What are you currently reading?
I'm currently reading I Robot by Isaac Asimov, it's very well written and I'm finding the dichotomy between such an old view of what the future may be like with the futuristic themes quite amusing.
Would definitely recommend any sci-fi fans give it a shot. It's not nearly at the same scale as our modern day space operas but it's really quite interesting so far.

Why do I get different results when searching for communities on two different instances?
Reply in thread
How is this expected to become popular if you need to go through all of that? I figured I could just search for a topic then subscribe, but if they're all separate then surely they'll all just become segmented with time and contain duplicate communities in many cases?

I can't quite figure out how to post a top level comment but would be great to have this take off with all the shit that Reddits pulling.
Personally I'm dying to see a cities Skylines sub take off

Not true, I've checked it and I still see a ton of posts in porn subs that aren't marked as nsfw. Not the end of the world but still somewhat annoying.

Linux Mint 21.2 “Victoria” Cinnamon released!
Just installed this yesterday as a dual-boot. For the most part I'm enjoying it so far, had a few issues before I updated the kernel including no sound but managed to fix that.
Now the only annoyance is that I remote into a Windows 10 work Pc on a multi-nonitor setup, unfortunately Remmina just doesn't handle zoom on a single display well at all and scales every monitor, so have had to start trying to get used to a lower zoom level on my bigger monitor.

Ah so it is, odd choice but I can understand why they'd do that initially. Thanks Bread :)

Desktop GPU Sales Lowest in Decades: Report
Honestly I recently purchased a new RTX 4070 TI and it's absolutely dominated everything I've chucked at it. But it was very expensive for what it was and I can completely understand why people have issues with the latest generations

What are the best free games for a low end pc?
One I never see mentioned anywhere is Transcendence which is a space rogue-lite game where you cross the galaxy fighting numerous different types of enemies and taking down space stations.
It's free to download on the kronosaur site or like £4 on steam

TemTem Patch 1.4 Launches with Season 4 and Pride Event
Reply in thread
I found the online functionality to be really frustrating. Unless you're online it'll kick you out, you then need to wait to reconnect. Also being so used to Pokémon I found the typings to be confusing and not particularly obvious from the look of the TemTems what types they may be.
This all sounds rather negative but I do think it's quite well made overall, just not my cup of tea.

Nailed it. Just off the Isle of Skye. Nobody ever believes that there are feral goats 😂

Yeah I can appreciate the goal, and I can deal with many of the minor technical issues but this seems like a killer for me personally. The small community is already massively segmented due to the model, and I don't see it getting better if each new person that joins up is on their own random instance and there's no common way to cross them all and to dedupe magazines.
But anyway I don't want to be too negative as I realise this is all fairly new but think I'll leave my account active so I can try this again in a while but it's not for me yet.

Neopets goes independent, cancels NFT game and promises new era free from 'corporate baggage'
I really wanted to make a neopets-esque online game but went down the route if a crime game instead. Would love for them to have a proper comeback and see what they do

Cities: Skylines II Is a Truly Enormous Sequel - and It's Built as Much for Console as PC - Xbox Wire
I love the mentions of the npcs blhaving more complexity. The idea of watching somebody make cash at a job to then go buy stuff at a store is very cool.

Looking to fill that void of time after leaving Reddit? Check out Torn.
I personally love Torn and play it daily and have done for years. If you want something similar I've been trying to put my own spin on things with Cartel Empire which I've been developing for about 2 years as a side-project.
We've got a small but active community that's constantly growing and I'd love to have more people on the Discord as I try to include the community in as much if the development as I can.

I think it's quite an important point that it only needs to happen once. I've not seen that mentioned anywhere else so thank you

Yeah I heard it was terrible as I'd read the reviews at the time. I mistakenly saw this and thought it was a new game and was sucked in by the trailer again
