For me ONI scratches a different itch. It’s basically a deeper more interesting colony sim. Rather than a factory game.

I had the exact thought with rogue legacy. I’m not against meta progression. But the meta progression should be more about unlocking new mechanics, areas, etc. Not ticking all your stats up 1%.
This game was just trying to teach you the most important lesson for a child: git gud.
I’ve had it autocorrect words that were both spelled correctly and used in a grammatically correct way. Fuck autocorrect.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Which is worse: Friends or Seinfeld?English
17·3 months agoNeither? They both used studio audiences.
Source? As far as I’m aware that’s a false claim that’s been circulating for a while. It distorted a NASA study about air quality, not even about oxygen production. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-nasa-study-snake-plants-oxygen-survival-212605533455
Put it this way, to provide enough oxygen for a human, you would have to grow the equivalent plant matter worth of carbon. We eat a lot of carbon, that’s a lot of plant growth per day.
You would need hundreds of houseplants to offset a single human’s CO2/provide enough O2.
I’m not anti house plants, they have benefits, but a single plant will not make a meaningful oxygen difference.

Technology@lemmy.world•Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW bossEnglish
2·3 months agoI mean battery tech is always improving, I don’t see -45C as big of a roadblock as you make it out to be. There are already battery chemistries that work well at those temps. They just have to be scaled up and made cost effective.
To me this feels like scoffing at the first car because a horse had a higher top speed.
They’ll probably flavorless rocks, just dunk them in milk.
Unopened dry food doesn’t expire in most cases.* Nutrition and taste may get worse, but it’s not harmful.

I don’t know. If my parent was an Astronaut and they decided to stop being an Astronaut for me. I would hate that, feels like a burden.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•Visualizing the Length of the Fine Print, for 14 Popular Apps (and books)English
6·5 months agoThat only applies if you modify/distribute it. That doesn’t apply to a user. I guess comparing the length of a company’s employee handbook would be a fair comparison to the GPLv2.
This is why I avoid f2p games. Much rather pay for a game than to be constantly hounded. There’s so many cheap indie games. Or cheap old AAA games.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Sid Meier's Civilization VI is currently free (Epic via Prime)English
2·8 months agoDisagree, free loading customers still help their customer base. They are still seen as potential customers and normalize having epic store client, legitimizing their own walled garden. It’s similar to any free-to-play game. All the customers that pay $0 technically cost the company money, but it’s worth having that dead weight to build a player base to get the whales in. Just by installing and having an epic account will inevitably draw other people in that will spend money and lure in investors and developers. They’re not dumb.
Really don’t think of it from an individual point of view, but as a whole.

Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Sid Meier's Civilization VI is currently free (Epic via Prime)English
41·8 months agoNot really, you cost Epic money but give them more users. Which is what they want. Only get free games from them if you want to support Epic.




How does that work in practice? Should I carry print outs of my accounts?
