Lemmy uses markdown to format posts. So yeah, a “markdown mode” would be awesome (just insert escape characters before each * and \ etc.)

Or maybe I’m wrong ٩(｡•́‿•̀｡)۶ (huh, Voyager comes with an emoticon picker)

Edit: it worked, I’m not wrong

My Sampotes goes kind of crazy, especially once Warframe buffs come into play. It’s honestly stupid funny, but I’m sure there’s a ceiling where it stops working.

The quest was awesome, and the new missions and enemies are nice. The tank assassination mission beat my ass for half an hour during a bounty - i was not prepared. Nyx rework is fun. Can’t wait to get to rank 5, eventually.

Big agree. I bought it day one because initial reviews were good. Remember people saying Bethesda cooked? Played it till 6AM that day. A week later I booted it up again, and… After a few hours, I stopped and never opened it again. I don’t know exactly why. It’s exactly what we expected - Skyrim in space. But I think the realistic space-explorer fantasy and not very gripping story or characters just didn’t appeal to me as much as i thought it would, and made me want to play TES instead.

I was made aware of this game not long ago, drawn by its strong Redwall energy. Really interested in playing or running it.

Though I can’t help but notice how this “review” really doesn’t mention any downsides whatsoever. Maybe that’s just how the reviewer rolls.

You just dropped a mind bomb on me. Suddenly things make sense :o

Blimey, one look at the sodding harefolk and Redwall was all I could think about, too. Wot!

Sucks to be me, who relatively recently hopped on the train and is actually excited to see what happens after this saga.

When art cares only about being profitable…

Then again, I see what they were saying about overdelivering. How do i say this. When expectations are high, so is the risk. The more resources you put into a release, the greater the loss if it fails. Live service is all about momentum, and once you lose momentum, it takes a very careful hand to make sure everything doesn’t fall apart. Bungie is not led by careful hands, it seems.

Interesting that it mentions this.

The layoffs are part of a larger money-saving initiative at Sony’s PlayStation unit, which has also cut employees at studios such as Naughty Dog, Media Molecule and its San Mateo office.

So it seems Bungie management was told by Sony to start snipping after all? I don’t know what to make of this.

Also, crazy that Mike Salvatori of all people was let go. Maybe he can team back up with Marty now…

Is the lack of punctuation intended?

Very exciting. I somehow had no idea they even had a BC. I’m listening to these immediately

Or old books! I just love the smell of books in general.

Sorry, are you converting it, lossily, twice? That’s like twice the lossiness! Just convert it once.

Seconded, particularly about comment collapse behavior.

It’s a manual disable that Bungie enacted while they presumably fix some exploits or gamebreaking bugs. Guardian ranks have nothing to do with them being locked, just so you know.

Wow. What a show. I am so excited for the experiences DE has in store for both Soulframe and Warframe. It’s crazy that we’re able to have them for free. And i think that’s very important.

Refugees? What happened to lemmy.world?

That Wizard came from the Moon!

(I actually expected a much worse reply) Nah I willingly interpreted what you said in the most extreme way possible. But in my mind there’s something of a ceiling when it comes to noticable improvements in audio quality, especially when compared to visuals, and it’s much lower than lossless. Besides, encoding is far from the only determining factor of audio quality. I think now, as discussed in other threads, the primary factor of ballooning file size is sheer quantity. We want more dialogue, more varied and adaptive music, more immersive soundscapes - and there’s no trick to achieving this other than more content, meaning more disk space. Maybe one day we’ll find an audio compression algorithm that will perform miracles, but until then audio still forms a significant portion of any game’s install, compressed or not.

You really want lossless audio in games? Do you know how big FLACs are in comparison to OGGs? Could most people really hear the difference? Keep in mind the quality of the average headset or desktop speakers. I don’t think any games store lossless audio. If they did, I’d bet they would be much, much bigger.
