That sounds like a bunch of promises made by someone in marketing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

So much "journalism" feels like advertising.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ah, enlightenment. So, no pre-orders, right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Never pre order.

Sounds really cool, though still very light on details. I also hope it's playable solo since it feels so hard to get a group of 4 people together as a working adult

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Void crew is a version of this playable today. You can definitely play solo but nothing really comes close to how easy a game like SoT is to play solo

Generally speaking if the company offers a Discord that's a good place to meet people and group up. I did it a lot with Remnant 2.

Haha yeah, I'm just getting to a point where I'm old and don't want to make new accounts for things

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I'm in. 🤞🏽

Full screen pop up ads, site is cancer

Why are you using the internet without a condom?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I get the experience of unprotected internet in my Lemmy app which uses Chrome for preview windows instead of Firefox. Haven't seen ads in a decade so it's a pretty wild contrast

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I'd recommend DNS66 from f-droid, uses the phone's VPN support to block ad DNS requests. It will filter ads and trackers from all apps on the phone.

Does your app have an option to open links in the default external browser (which I would assume you have Firefox as)?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes it does, I can also choose Open External on specific links - which I do when I know I want to read or remember the link.

I haven't changed the default behavior because I like keeping stuff "in" the app instead of filling my browser with tabs. I'm not saying that's a good reason but it's why I do it

Sounds like you need a pihole.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

To add more excuses to the mix: I'm currently living with family while house hunting so I have no control over my network until I move :(

But it doesn't bother me a ton so I'll just live with it for now

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I've always said that the Railjack in Warframe really deserved to be its own game instead of a shoehorned game mode.

This looks like what that idea could be. Just being able to play Sea of Thieves IN SPACE!!! is a home-run of an idea.

I thought Notch was employee #1 of Mojang.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Notch was the founder and owner of Mojang. When they talk about “employee #x” they mean employees after the founders even if the founders are on the payroll.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

I'm a bit concerned that someone somewhere thought that a game mix that contained Sea Of Thieves actually constituted a good proposition.

Sea of thieves is a solid 4/10 and marketers over here are treating it as some kind of high standard. It makes me question their credibility.

Oh never mind it's IGN of course they said this. They know less about gaming than my mother.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

It may not be your cup of tea, but a lot of people (me included) really like SoT.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah this feels like a really biased take

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's unfortunately classic Lemmy. Every post has at least one person commenting something along the lines of "Why would anyone like this?" as opposed to, y'know, actually engaging with the content.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 7 months ago

Like you just did? Because going by Steam reviews my comment was justifiable

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

If i had people to play with i would probably play it a lot. My friend group was only invested in the game for like 6-10 hours during covid and imo we had a hell of a time just hanging out trying things.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

It might have started a 4/10. By now, it’s touching 10/10 IMHO. But of course you have to like the kind of game it is.
