  • Technically it's the same, but if we want to apply emotion to human genocide, then what word would we alternatively use to describe eradicating a colony of beings we don't care enough about?

  • I love stardew valley. looking for an alternative that is made for controller experience.

  • In my experience, most games that offer support for both are better with KB/M.

    The KB/M vs Controller betterness ratio of a particular game tends to also scale up with the amount of controls required to play the game.

    If you want a game that feels almost as good on the controller, find a simpler game with fewer controls.

    As far as game recommendations: the wife and I have more hours into Stardew Valley than I'll publicly admit, and other games we enjoy that work well with controllers are Luma Island, Dinkum, and Plate Up.

    A side note: If you're chasing the magic that is Stardew Valley, you aren't going to find it elsewhere. Be open to a different kind of magic in these other games and you won't be disappointed that it doesn't hit like Stardew.

  • I understand that the playbook focuses around a strategy that involves throwing as many wacky things at us dumdums as possible so that we lose focus, become jaded, and spread resources so thin that we can't fully act against any single outrageous thing...

    ...but come on people. Is this what it takes to be truly evil? Because it sounds exhausting.

    So, where are we now? We've gone from chunking spaghetti to distract from the files to reverse Uno using the files to distract from gaining full control of the military so that it would no longer matter what's in the files?

  • +1 for Davinci replacing Premier (and its built-in Fairlight replacing Audition, for that matter).

    However, it's kind of weird that they say GIMP is a reasonable alternative to Photoshop, but RawTherapee isn't for Lightroom.

    And there is no mention of Illustrator.

    The reason for that is, for those that use Illustrator as a part of their professional workflow, there is no viable alternative. There is software that can do some tasks the same, some tasks differently but at the same speed, some tasks the differently but take longer to achieve, and some tasks not at all. It's those last two that make switching unviable for folks that use it as one of their primary tools for paying the bills

    Again, I know it wasn't mentioned in the article, I just thought it was strangely left out when just as poor alternatives to Photoshop were cited.

    To be clear, I hate adobe. I hate windows (and apple). I've been trying to break completely free since 2011. I do revisit the available Linux software alternatives every few years, but never hold my breath. I even donate to projects that show promise. It's just not there yet. To make a claim that it is, for anyone but hobbyists, is asinine.

    So many people are in that same "would if they could" boat. But you can't simply restructure your entire workflow if the resulting workflow doesn't work.

  • I'm enjoying the game. And yeah, a lot of cool folk work there. Sure a few suck, but there are a lot of neat humans that poured their heart into this game.

    I also haven't had a single issue on a two year old mid-tier laptop so i can't empathize with the fuss over performance. I'm sure there are older machines out there that wont run it at 1000FPS or whatever.

    At the end of the day, it's a game. Calm tf down and play something else rather than raise your blood pressure over something so relatively trivial.

    Deep breath people. It's a game. Support it or don't. Edginess not required for this decision.

  • It's true for most of us, but I don't see it as a bad thing. It sort of implies that we have a semblance of autonomy. I mean, we don't, but it implies we do! Who couldn't love such a strong implication?

  • The aliens should consider changing the rule to anyone with a financial value that has a z-score of 2.33 on a bell curve relative to the rest of the world's population.

    Given the aliens have a big appetite and understanding that this would eventually wipe out the human race, perhaps limit the numbers of humans that can be eaten to the birth rate of humans so that they create a sustainable supply of food.
