  • Hopefully you’ll like it better this time around. I know VR preferences can be very subjective, so I can understand why it may not have worked for you. While I don’t know what specifically you didn’t like, I will say that on the performance and visual fidelity aspects of VR, they’ve done some good work over the last year or two. Improvements to the engine and things like DLSS in VR really help it run better.

    Regarding the crafting and material collection, I have some good news. From your time with the game, you probably remember the difficulty options of Normal, Survival, Permadeath, and Creative. That last one eliminates all costs and penalties from the game, for people who just want to Netflix warp drive and chill. But, if you don’t want to make it too easy, they’ve since added a ton of granular difficulty controls, most of which are adjustable on the fly. You can make a game that’s otherwise normal, but eliminates crafting costs, if that’s your preference. You may already be familiar with the settings, but I mention it anyway because a surprising number of people I talk to about the game don’t know and have played the game for a long time without realizing they can adjust fine grained difficulty settings.




  • Absolutely spot on. It reminds me of a comment I saw somewhere on here a few months ago where some clown used “seggs” and someone else responded to them and said they can just say sex because there aren’t any algorithms here that would cause problems for them. The clown has a complete meltdown and ranted and raved in response about how they’ve been using “seggs” long before the internet or some wild shit like that and how dare anyone tell them that they don’t have to use it here. The really fucked up thing was that he got a bunch of up votes and the person they lost their minds on was down voted to hell. I felt like I was losing my mind reading that interaction.



  • With Netflix in a browser, you can bring up your streaming stats in the browser window as you’re watching something by pressing Ctrl + Shift+ Alt + D. It’ll give you several bits of information as an overlay, including what resolution the video is playing at. Next time you stream from them, give it a shot and see if you get anything above 720p. I know I never have and if you search online, you’ll find others with the same experience. In fact, I think Netflix might actually have this on a FAQ page somewhere…

    Found it! https://help.netflix.com/en/node/30081

    Scroll down to the OS selection and you can see what resolutions are supported by which browsers on Linux. Turns out Opera will give you 1080p for some reason, but the rest are capped at 720p.

    I really don’t get how so many people here are so happy that a Nazi is using Linux and doesn’t like Google anymore. That’s not the kind of clown I’d want representing or being a spokesperson for my interests and it’s really making me second guess the people here.

    Edit: @nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip 's comment has provided info I didn’t have, and recontextualizes the attitudes here I wasn’t understanding, so now I get why there’s support for this.
