Sounds sick and right in my lane.

That’s the spirit.
Dying to a bug in indie game can be so hilarious some youtubers in niche game communities got their rep from doing compilations of these. Case in point: PhanracK of WH:VT2 fame: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGlWiMg3bUg
Have you got some like this to follow?
I start to appreciate games that implement complex and sometimes rarely noticeable (immersive, boo) mechanics that come off naturally. And I notice how a thought pattern behind bad ones could’ve progressed.
Bugs? My favs are buggy to the point some of these bugs became their own mechanics. I only get annoyed when the game bores me out, and if bugs can’t make me feel like it, it’s fine. And some better-done games are pretty boring to me.

Completely unconnected to OP, but oh fuck do I hate that Microsoft Excel couldn’t open two documents side by side before like 2017. They all opened in one instance of the app unless you launch another as an admin, and it even screamed at you that it can’t open files with the same name. W?T?F?
If Sunset Overdrive by Insomniac is too casual and platformy, there are oldschool Quake games just remastered that can make anyone’s blood boil with a pretty okay difficulty scaling.

8·2 years agoThe only thing I can put against dev (not really) is there’s no x-platform sync between clients. Continuing your game on a phone could be a cool feature, even if not from some centralized server they pay for, but from your own google drive or whatever.

1·2 years agoBoth controls (and UIs) are pretty different and weird to adjust to. I probably like PC more for rotating objects with a mousewheel is more natural than taps. Both feel bad at controlling your ship traversing the arena imho and I can’t say how it could’be fixed in this overall control scheme.

2·2 years agoI don’t know how it works with a frequently updating OS. In my mind beaurocrats can become asses about certifying one exact version they inspected and then making users afraid that open source community can inject the next version with viruses and they can’t be sure it’s okay too. Ah, and making each certification a paid service and somehow fucking it up.
In Russia there are like two projects of local Linux with custom wine that you can buy just like other software, certified by FSB for sensitive business (I believe them being the first pieces of software to get it except specific cryptographic stuff), but I feel the reason it’s getting adopted and certified is because there are some nepotism and illegal connections with money not really changing pockets.

21·2 years agoI see it generating less work for the helpdesk than Windows currently does. Linux can hardly brick itself without root while Windows can and has a lot of bloat and problems occuring on random on identical PCs. It also works fine on HDD and with less than 8GB of DDR3 RAM, so older hardware won’t become garbage that quick. And since users aren’t yet familiar with any Linux, there is a 5 year lag between deployment and when average users would start to dig in settings and customization parameters fixing\breaking things themselves like they do on their home machines.
It’s investing in your own working future.

42·2 years agoRussian edu is kinda conflicted due to the push of leaving Microsoft (they stopped licensing openly by now) to alternatives, that’s not going well with anyone but IT students I guess. But if these institutions would switch, they’d pick some closed down and paid wreck like Astra Linux. Going from bad to worse.

It feels basic but it gets the work done. As long as you don’t need a complex array of effects and graphics, it fits. Most of simple amateur video needs are easily covered.
