Bit of a necro reply, mb, but that makes me want to give Deep Rock a try!

I’ve been feeling similar when I’ve been playing Helldivers 2. Many players have been quick to teach me about mechanics or strategies. And now that I’m a better player, I’ve had opportunities to do the same. The communication wheel can help a little, but nothing matches actually talking in vc.

But I’m also usually too shy or nervous to open mic with strangers regularly, so I tend to just ping or use the comm wheel. Maybe text chat if I have a safe spot.

    That feels like a great use-case! I don’t have a wired connection so the bandwidth usage makes it a no-go for me probably, but you’ll have to post about your experience when/if you give it a shot!

    Migrating my workflow to NixOS right now, and it’s really made me realize just how good Arch Wiki is. NixOS and Nix are a bit disjointed in terms of documentation and learning resources. But Arch Wiki usually helps me gain intuition for which software does what and what traits I’m able to configure.

    Non-Arch-Linux Linux users should absolutely consider the Arch Wiki when troubleshooting or learning about the Linux ecosystem! I’m not sure there’s a better broadly-applicable resource out there.

    Signs of a stroke in c/memes@lemmy.world

    What a wild rabbit hole that was… most memes posted have image diffusion artifacts, and most text posts are clearly LLM responses.

    But between editing memes, moderating and posting, it’s impressive dedication. And doing it on the Fediverse is absolutely targeted. This is pro hater hours.

    I’m thinking their partner let them for Tux.

    Modrinth acquired by Spark Universe (creators of Essential) in c/moddedminecraft@sopuli.xyz
    [–] 8 points 4 months ago

    Hmm. Essential Mod adds paid, bedrock-style cosmetics to Java. They do help offset the costs of their servers, which are necessary for letting players join friends directly (without UPnP, vpn or port forwarding). These cosmetics are visible to other essential players, and equivalents (3d character additions) are not freely attainable without another mod.

    “Essential” taints any Java modpack in my opinion.

    I can’t speak to their Bedrock Marketplace content. I dislike the Bedrock Marketplace and think it is full of (and heavily advertises) low-quality, overpriced slop, and that Microsoft takes far too big of a share, but if Spark’s content is well-made, I think it’s fair to sell.

    With the alternative being CurseForge, I’ll still probably continue to use Modrinth as a content creator and as a player. I’m cautious about this, though.

    rule of the healer in c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone
    [–] 4 points 5 months ago (1 child)

    Redownloaded Overwatch recently. Haven’t played since before OW2.

    Nowadays I have much more mechanical skill than I previously did, but I also don’t know half of the characters now.

    It’s weird being most valuable to my team by playing DPS. I’m lucky too that I had some friends who play healer and tank, ngl.

    Sold Out Rule (lemmy.ca)
     

    Rant:

    I am at work (food service) so I wasn’t able to just step away to order a Steam Controller. I started trying to a few minutes after launch and had to deal with Steam’s Mobile Authenticator bullshit (why can’t I use a different 2FA app?!?). Anyways I had customers and responsibilities so I had to put it away until I got a quiet second.

    By the time I had a chance to run to the bathroom, about 50 minutes after its launch, the “checkout” button for my cart wasn’t working. So I went to the previous page, and it was sold out.

    I’m so bummed; I’ve been essentially obsessing over it since the release date was announced. The wireless puck was a huge pull for me, because my DualShock 4 wireless USB adapter broke (some device’s usb must’ve supplied it bad voltage I think?), and the price to get a new one of those at this point just doesn’t make for me. Also a local electronics repair store pretty much told me to screw off, cuz of the price of the dongle.

    Bluetooth isn’t as responsive, and repairing for each device is a PITA. Plus other features of the Steam Controller were exciting for me! Super disappointed.
