Gentoo vs any other distro
  • Gentoo is basically arch but built around everything being compiled locally. There isn't to my knowledge any "Gentoo-install", but if you can manage to install arch manually it should be quite similar. Gentoo is a bit more complex than arch so if installing gentoo manually seems daunting I would recommend staying on arch.

  • NATO apologism

    Incase anyone tells you that lemmy.ml is not a tankie instance.

    Any good games that break the mold
  • I've tried it, but couldn't really get into it. Didn't feel like there was much deduction, but more just evidence collecting. However I didn't play for too long and I'm planning to try again. I assume it takes same time to get invested

  • Any good games that break the mold

    It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?

    Finland to spend more on defence, NATO and security
  • Average lemmy.ml opinion.

    Russia has participated in 14 wars since it left the Soviet union. Basically all of Russias European neighbours have been victims of Russian imperialism in the last hundred years. NATO needs to exist to keep peace in Europe

  • [Steam] Kingdom Come: Deliverance ($2.99 / 90% off)
  • One of my favorite games of all time. Great story and a fun and interesting world. Love the progression that isn't the normal "weak in the prolouge, strong the rest of the game", as you feel weak for most of the game, making it super satisfying when you can confidently beat harder enemies.

  • Odysee Shakes Up Video Sharing by Removing Ads
  • Man I'm torn on Odysee. On one hand it's a good and intuitive YouTube alternative, but the cryptoshilling and the uh... interesting crowd that "free speech" platforms always get.

    However if more people moved there I assume this special crowd will quickly be outnumbered and made irrelevant

  • Anon dislikes Steam
  • It makes sense when considering the old concept of "Family computers". Then familily share would allow each person in the family to have access to their own saves and achievements. Though I agree the system could use an update

  • It’s kinda insane how warfare was just lining up and shooting at each other until someone came along and said “Nah”
  • It wasn't actually more efficient. Having all of you're guys in a huge box makes it easier to hit than having you're infantry spread out. It was mostly a morale thing, having other soldiers within arms range made you reconsider running away. While being engaged with huge volleys by these squares made you very much consider if you should run anyway.

    What bizarre misconceptions do people have about your field?
  • "IT is mainly introverts doing mysterious stuff no one understands"

    It is a very cooperative field where everyone has different roles with different responsibilities, but everyone has a vague idea what everyone else is doing. Most of the time is spent making sure everyone else can also use the systems you build, not just yourself.

  • The Paradox DLC model is good

    The games they release are complete in them selves, and with 15-20€ dlces every ~6 months they keep the games fresh with new content.

    People rarely complain that features are missing from their games until it gets added in a DLC. Then suddenly it's a mandatory feature.

    How many alts do you have on lemmy

    Personally I have three accounts. This is my main, but I have a reserve for stuff and one for my local region/language. What about you?

    Which games that were reviewed poorly did you actually like?

    Personally never had a problem with Victoria 3. A bit buggy on release but nothing game breaking

    Do you have some minor life advice?

    Mine is to to keep chocolate in the fridge. It's a lot crunchier and has more chocolate taste.

    Opinions on Hersir - Hulkoff?

    Album: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_lQD48u4oLz_i144bTvoVShDeCcI2hVG3w&si=vbXrogJsBaK_hChZ

    What do you guys think of this new album? I would probably qualify it as dark/industrial folk metal for those who haven't heard it yet. I must say it usually takes me a while to warm up to this kind of music but some of these tracks are bangers straight of the bat. Really enjoy the amount of folk in this album, folk metal tends to turn into power metal but with a violin (not that it's necessarily a bad thing). I also like the variety, the tracks are different enough but not completely disconnected from each other. I would like to know what you're guys impressions are, though do note that this genre isn't for everyone.

    How come there isn't more torrent based technology

    Most of the problems in the current internet landscape is caused by the cost of centralized servers. What problems are stopping us from running the fediverse on a peer to peer torrent based network? I would assume latency, but couldn't that be solved by larger pre caching in clients? Of course interaction and authentication should be handled centrally, but media sharing which is the largest strain on servers could be eased by clients sending media between each other. What am I missing? Torrenting seems to be such an elegant solution.
