[Discussion] Which Soulslike will you be playing this weekend? in c/soulslike@lemmy.zip
[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I'm stuck at "Owl". I know there's an idol just underneath him, but with the new enemies in the room and the frustration I've been having, I didn't have the willpower to beat them and activate it to shorten my runback. Eventually I'll go back and try again, but it wasn't fun so I stopped for now.

Maybe Sekiro - I stopped at a certain boss because it's hard and the runback is annoying. Sad to say I'm not enjoying this game as much as I had hoped, but I do understand why some people love it.

DS2 - trying to finish my first SL1 run. I'm at Throne Watcher/Defender which I knew would be an obstacle, and I was right. It's funny how the rest of the game's easier bosses became difficult at SL1, and the moderate difficulty ones are about the same difficulty as playing a levelled character. Enjoying the different perspective it's giving me.

Tails of Iron - I think I'm in the late game. Having lots of fun with this and will definitely be checking out the sequel eventually.

I won't spoil anything, just wanted to say that I'm excited for you to blindly figure all this out. You only get one blind playthrough!

[Discussion] Do you prefer a named protagonist or a nameless "blank slate" protagonist in your soulslikes? in c/soulslike@lemmy.zip
[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

I prefer the freedom to make my character as cute or as horrifying as I want.

What are your favorites? How do you like them? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Green olives. Preferably stuffed with garlic.

They have survived just fine without outside help, and acted hostile towards most attempts from outsiders to do so. They don't need or want our help. They don't need our technology.

Visiting North Sentinel Island is prohibited by the Indian government. Idiots still do it anyways and usually end up killed.

Leave them alone. They are living their best lives already. No need to interfere. No need to drag them into the misery of the modern world.

If you could only choose one streaming platform for the next decade what would you choose? in c/casualconversation@piefed.social
[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

First choice would be YouTube because I already use it more than anything else, it has music, and I like falling asleep to video essays.

For movies I would pick Tubi because it has a decent selection and is completely defenseless against uBlock Origin.

The small-town vibe, memes, video game communities, and I'm able to use my choice of third party app. That's all I want and Lemmy delivers.

Edit: also the cats

Thanks for having a sense of humour about the meme. I'm also a desk jockey. Be sure to stretch frequently and take care of your back! The tension has a way of sneaking up.

It's not too late to edit your post and welcome answers from women, while specifying which topics you don't want included.

As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved (lemmy.ca)
 

Canada has implemented a new tax savings from December to February for some things like taxable groceries, crafts, and gaming physical media. I wanted to get a new Xbox controller and found the best price at Walmart for $55 a week ago. The tax holiday starts today and I now see that the $55 has increased to $62 and change, which is about how much tax I should be saving. Great to see this thinly veiled attempt to help Canadians ( /s - win votes) is just going to be extra profit in the corporations' pockets.

Suggest a GPU upgrade for my rig? (lemmy.ca)
 

Currently I have a 1060GTX 6GB (Evga I think?). It struggled to run Elden Ring but was tolerable for me on medium settings - still it frequently drops from 60fps to 40fps or so, rarely able to stay at an even 60.

Can you suggest a modest upgrade compatible with my build? I'm not obsessed with getting max settings, but something that will work decently for 5 years or so would be nice. I don't have an exact budget in mind, but the absolute maximum I would consider is $400 Canadian (approx $300 USD). Prefer to save some money for performance and keep it around $200-$300 CDN, if possible

Here's my parts list started in 2016 - GPU listed is not the current 1060

Something sticky has invaded my life (lemmy.ca)
 

It started about a week ago. I noticed a sticky feeling on my hands so I washed them (as I do regularly). Unfortunately it wasn't long before the feeling came back. I've started noticing it on everything I frequently touch - mouse/keyboard, Xbox controller, phone, on and on. I tried household cleaner, rubbing alcohol, water/soap on these surfaces and it seems to help for a short while, but it comes back within hours. Just now I gave my phone a good wipe with soapy water and as soon as it dried it feels sticky again.

I'm not sure what else to try or how to get rid of it.

Possible culprits I can guess at: -pollen? the cars around here have been covered in greenish yellow powder which I have seen before, but never experienced this stickyness. I don't use my car / touch the door handles very often.

-some sort of plastic or rubber is degrading, maybe my phone case? It's an Otterbox that's over 6 years old.

-a little weed container I bought around the same time this started, maybe the store had vape juice spilled on it? But I don't touch it often enough to warrant the spread of this profound stickyness.

Any ideas are welcome. It's driving me nuts.

[WP] indie game developer makes convincing demos, gets funding on Kickstarter then takes off without finishing the games. One day a backer finds and forces them to complete their dream game. (lemmy.ca)
 

The developer is talented but lacks the confidence to complete their work. Out of desperation they resort to the 'easy way out' and develop demos to scam supporters with no intention of shipping a finished game. Can one supporter whose belief in them/blackmail be enough to change their ways and finish what will undoubtedly be a smash hit?

I started to get these daily at random hours, even when I'm sleeping. Someone's trying to hack me? (lemmy.ca)
 

I sure don't feel safe just ignoring it, considering the frequency.
