  • There are tons of alternative ways for you to sync notes. I have used it for so long without spending a dime.

  • Man, you left out Obsidian, it is a godsend for studying and notetaking.

    Get an ultra-wide monitor, split it into four panes, one pane to import the pdf you want to read, another for note-taking, and spare another one for the AI for Markdown formatting and explaining texts (optional). I can't think of a more efficient workflow for studying digitally.

  • "Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade

    Jump

  • GOG forums are mostly technical topics. Different builds for different storefronts can cause different problems, and good luck getting help from devs and mod authors on Steam if you have a GOG problem.

  • It's very sluggish compared to Steam; everything is slower in GOG client. I wonder if it is a server problem or my region.

  • Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games

    Jump

  • I have only paid for three games with this kind of money:

    -America and Euro Truck Simulator

    -Rimworld

    Time to go back to retro gaming, they are free on abandonware or dirt cheap on GOG, I can handle the retrojank and graphics.

    Jump

  • Ultima Underworld, I feel like getting back into retro gaming, so the first thing I have to do is to follow the tradition: read the manual. If I didn't, I wouldn't have known I could make popcorn with a lit torch; that is an early prototype of "combine items" like in survival horror games.

    I have tried a little Ultima 7: The Serpent Isle just to test how it runs on my machine; they definitely made sure that you pass the test of the history of Britannia before you can even continue the game.

    Really like the old days when they still made booklets like History of Britannia (as told by Kyle the Younger), just so that you get immersed in the game world before you even play the game.

  • Devil Daggers 2 is in development, as its creator confirms fewer than 1,500 people survived longer than 8 minutes in the original

    Jump

  • This game kicked my ass back then. I think 5 mins was my max.

  • Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people?

  • ‘This shouldn’t be normal’: developers speak out about bigotry on Steam, the world’s biggest PC gaming storefront

    Jump

  • They do moderate, threads disappear out of thin air, locked due to specific reasons. I've reported many, from minor insults to racism, and many of the times they take action. And I considered Steam more heavily moderated than both Lemmy and Reddit, unless you are in a beleaguered community.

    The review section, though, is a dev problem; it can be a bit of a wildland, and that is true.

  • Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST

  • I still remember they put Deus Ex in the freezer, handed it over to Embracer, then they murdered it before the final chapter.

  • Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy

    Jump

  • Well, many complex games have no budget on graphics, that's why you can have one-man army dev making a monster of a game like Aurora 4x.

  • Games you fell out of love with.

    Jump

  • Hearts of Iron 2

    When I realised Aurora 4x, a free space 4x game with an ugly UI, does ground trooper even more in-depth than a specialised WWII game, it starts to feel like a toy; there's just no contest between these two when it comes to complexity in terms of moment-to-moment decision making.

  • Silent Hill: Townfall - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games

    Jump

  • This looks inspired by Condemned: Criminal Origins, alright, count me in.

  • Control Resonant - Gameplay Reveal

    Jump

  • Nice, reminds me of DMC.

  • No Man's Sky Remnant Trailer

    Jump

  • No thanks, I have Children of a Dead Earth if I want to build ships, a much better sandbox when you can give your overpowered ships to the AI, and you can try to defeat it with default ships. NMS is too form over function to me.

    If I want to build a dollhouse, I will just go with House Flipper, much more focused on interior design, even architects could take inspiration from its design.

    If I want settlement management, Dwarf Fortress is much deeper.

    NMS is a generalist open-world sandbox; it is not going to compete with specialist sandbox games in terms of depth, unless you want vibe and chill.

  • That's not my argument, you tell that to @Jollyllama, but then again:

    6IX9INE- GOOBA - 922m views 6ix9ine - BEBE ft. Anuel AA - 1.6 bn views

    The Best of Beethoven - 66m views Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata - 225m views

    Ouch, he is right, quote and quote with some modification "Some may not enjoy it and that’s their opinion but he is pulling more listener numbers and higher ratings and most other music artists."

  • You tell that to the chill players when people mention "improve combat", but why do fans complain when it is free, right? It is wild. xD

  • Gothic 1 Remake | Release Date Trailer (June 5th)

  • I have only played Gothic 2, so it's time to revisit the games at some point. I heard there is a full-game-sized mod as well.
