I agree with everything. I hated RE5 at first but it grew on me after a while. With mods of course. It has too many small annoyances for me to fully enjoy it vanilla. Just hell to the no.

RE6 is just a badly designed game:

• horrible pacing and balancing, such as with wave-based combat and outright spamming the player with enemies at that, causing high ammo usage whilst also simultaneously making ammo scarce;

• enemies being invincible until they attack you. (Seriously, that pissed me off; even if I knew an enemy was actually an enemy and not just a dead body, my bullets would go straight through them. Literally. No hit detection until they initiated combat, whether in the next couple seconds or later when you double-back in the following scene.)

• The stupid UI. Way too much form, not even close to enough function.

On the other hand, it was rather amusing seeing Leon fucking wrestle-slam a zombie like he’s in the WWE. Lol.

Edit: Added to a clause to make the follow-up point clear(er).

Resident Evil 6, on PC.

I normally try to play a game for a minimum of 10 hours just to give it a chance in case it grows on me, but this was just such a piece of shit I couldn’t even reach half that…

Thanks. 👍 :)

That does sound interesting! Have any you’d recommend? (And that are preferably Linux-compatible. ^_^)

What’s a MUD?

chaps my ass

Huh… Never heard that one before.

I disagree. I always found it to be a bit of totally inconsequential fun.

I was only referring to wired vs wireless. The type of wire is kind of irrelevant. Fiber, co-axial, whatever. :)

The need for a solution regarding one angle of a problem does not invalidate the need for a solution regarding another.

Source?

I’ve never heard anything like this.

I’ve never heard that expression before.

I like it!

Yeah, I saw that after seeing the other comments. I just didn’t refresh the page to see your comment until after I typed up my edit. Lol, sorry.

No requirement there. Just recommendations, and potential at that.

who tf travels on vacation when they’re so close to labor?

People with poor decision-making skills.

No it’s not. A lot of new phones are still wired in terms of having to charge it. The wireless suck, unless of course they’ve improved a lot in the last 5 years.

I’d rather plug a cable into my phone than deal with having to position just right to a millionth of a millimeter precision just to get a shitty 6 hour charge time. Lol.

The fuck is “Ethernet over WiFi”. Isn’t ethernet by definition wired? If it’s x over WiFi, isn’t that just WiFi with extra steps?

Is it a monitor provided by your workplace? If not, well, it’s not that hard to find a monitor without a built-in camera. I found one easily enough for my gaming desktop… Unless the monitor market has dramatically changed since 2019-ish…

xkcd #936. Nice.

Fucking THANK YOU.

A very good friend of mine doesn’t use any password manager. I’ve often in the past told them why don’t they? They argue that then all their passwords would be gone if they forget that one master password. Okay, I say, how the fuck is having to remember 1 password harder than having to remember 20 passwords?

Likewise, as the old rule goes, if you don’t have a secondary backup, then you don’t have a backup.

I feel the same way about webcams. I’m paranoid about them too, but you know what’s an easy solution? Buy a desktop monitor without one and then buy a USB webcam.

If you’re on a laptop, then for the camera just tape a piece of paper over it. As for the internal mic, you might be fucked lol cause I got nothing.
