I've been burned with pre-orders and day-one buys so many times. And now the time I managed to hold of, it had a good and stable release.

I've seen the same video, as long as it has a heat pump then its basically as efficient as we can get it. It's those small drink coolers and portable freezers that can be run of the cigarette lighter in your car that uses the inefficient Peltier module

How are the prices of eggs impacting your life? in c/[email protected]

In Europe tho price off eggs are still stable. Even if they rise I live rural so I know some local egg producers so I'll always have access to cheap eggs.

what are your news sources? in c/[email protected]

My local government news. Call me a sheep but since they don't farm clicks they seem to have the most nuanced and engaging stories. For-profit news these days are just doom-posting and rage bait.

In my company I have a serious picture in Teams, however in our internal applications (Jira, etc) I have a picture of rasputin. Over Christmas I used a AI tool to put a santa hat on him and used that as my profile picture

Depends on the business culture. Considering they are only getting a notice after they have to interact with customers I'm going to assume it's a pretty chill culture

The beautiful part of 2025/01/27 is that it can inherently be sorted without formatting.

The ceo promoted Trump. They offer a crypto wallet. Nothing wrong with their products per say, mostly politics. L

Why lemmy is more popular in Finland compared to other european countries? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

I guess Finland has a larger non-mainstream community than is normal. However it feels weird that there is such a small Swedish counterpart, since they also have a relatively large pirate movement. Perhaps because the Swedish instances are very political, so Swedish users spread out over the fediverse?

I think it's an inherent problem with team scale. You can generally work faster when you know everyone that will use your code and you know exactly where and how it will be used. However if three thousand people will work with your code it has to be a lot more generic and water-tight. Adding more people to the team means that the rest of the team will work slower. You can't add more people to the orchestra and have it played faster.

Whatever happened to racing games (lemmy.world)
 

How come there are so few racing games coming out lately? Feels like it's just codemasters doing their thing, some struggling indie games and a truckload of shovelware. I'm not saying it's dead but wasn't racing games one of the primary genres?

Another thing that bugs me with the few games that come out is the lack of progression and immersion. NFS Unbound impressed me slightly with actually starting you out with a low spec car and having slow (by modern standards) progression. However halfway through when you have fast and "cool" cars you really felt the games mediocrity.

Dirt rally 1 and 2 has economy systems, but after a single championship you can basically buy whatever car you want. The rallies are immersive but everything between is just boring menues.

Why do you think the state of racing games is so poor? The industry being shit? Audiences not playing them anymore?

Any good games that break the mold (lemmy.world)
 

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?

The Paradox DLC model is good (lemmy.world)
 

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.

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? (lemmy.world)
 

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

Do you have some minor life advice? (lemmy.world)
 

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

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.
