Oh yeah, we’re not at the sweet spot for mass yet. 10 times bigger would still be fine IMO!

Can second the comment about tutorials. It’s amazing how your very very specific problem has a great tutorial, with the worst possible audio, that is perfectly solved by some random dude in his bedroom in India.

I completely agree.

Reddit is worse because of its size, resulting in problems with spam/low effort posts and comments.

This smaller size is a bit of a double-edged sword though. If I want to discuss cooking/chef knives with people, for example, there isn’t a niche community specifically for that topic. Maybe in this way it’s best for people to head outside of Lemmy to other forums for more specific interests, and Lemmy can be more tech/general discussion oriented.

I haven’t quite figured that out yet.

I think it’s because people trend a lot older on Lemmy than Reddit. I imagine a lot of the more vile opinions you see on Reddit are teenagers. I’ve not seen much unhealthy discussion/ad hominen on Lemmy yet.

And the new high poly heads look quite a bit worse. Tidus from the remaster would look right at home in Team America.

Agreed, it’s not perfect. Never mucked around with them myself, as 60 has been fine enough.

I’m in the camp that 60fps is still acceptable. With the Steam deck I think I’ve even moved to thinking that a stable 45 fps feels smooth enough. 120Hz is a bonus, but I think mods will give you unlocked framerate if the game comes to PC.

Bloodborne 60fps patch is on Silksong levels of hype in the souls community. Guaranteed sales FS.

Interesting, I find it hard to see how this wouldn’t be annoying, but it looks pretty novel.

I believe this is exactly what’s happening. Why would they just patch this in or release a mid-console cycle remaster when they can release a system-selling remake.

This game doesn’t seem like the kind of live service that’s gonna turn around and be popular.

Really speaks to a troubled development that they would pivot so hard away from the original game. What the hell happened to Bioware? EA is the easy answer I suppose, but it just seems they can’t even get single player RPG done right anymore.

I think I was initially interested in the game provided I could get it for < $20, now I think my time is just more valuable than this game is worth.

Its a sad realisation, as a huge fan of the Oblivion/Fallout 3 era of Bethesda.

It’s not opt-in as far as I’m aware. Just using Google photos makes it so. I suppose I’m deep enough in the google ecosystem (well, let’s say my wife is not going to move away from it) to be desensitised to how messed up it kind of is.

I was more talking about how other people (i.e. your friends) will take photos of you and post it on social media or even just keep them in their google photos, and meta/google will build a shadow profile for you without your consent via facial recognition.

Even if you’re not on social media, you’ll probably still have a shadow profile on Google/Metas servers. My 13 month old baby has a library of images searchable in Google photos and a profile photo in the app. It’s convenient, but incredibly creepy.

I’m hoping it’s got some more immersive sim elements, but it looks like it will probably be more linear. Didn’t play the original, so I’m not sure how close this is looking to that.

Looking fan-fucking-tastic

AKA the “I cooked my install” button.

That’s insane that this really happened.
