I remember trying it quite a few years ago but it was too much work to learn to play it at the time, I knew how long it usually takes for games like DF, kenshi or rimworld to click and wasn't sure if star sector is worth it when I had x3, factorio, m&b to occupy me.
I am always tempted to give it a try but the number of new complex games keeps increasing while the number of my brain cells keeps dropping xd
Lemmy is a public forum, discord servers are usually for invite-only, more closed-off communities, and we're not talking about a lemmy replacement but rather how this is inadequate as a discord replacement.
I don't know about discord issues, the hype behind is it mostly that it's free, very convenient, feature rich and can easily integrate bots. Its the go-to place to build communities nowadays.
Matrix issues that I read about can be seen here https://telegra.ph/why-not-matrix-08-07 . I haven't done my own research tho so I don't know if all of this is (still) true
Hope we get some comparable options yet, I only know of matrix and that one allegedly has tons of security and performance issues.
IIRC the web app had some intrusive ads(hard to remove and taking a bug chunk of screen space), is the offline version any better?
I've started to tinker with home server and self hosting recently, I was just wondering if the feeling of 'everything is held together by a thin wire that could snap at any point' ever goes away? Thanks 😁
Feels like there's alway some issue that requires a special unique workaround that could stop working at any point
Check out against the storm for a fun and difficult game
Yeah, that's always good advice, I don't mind missing out on hype since I'd be playing single player anyway. Enshrouded is also out and it might turn out to be the better option too, who knows. Seems like a good start of the year for survival games enjoyers either way.
Id hope they use the popularity to improve it further but I really don't wanna get invested in the same way I have with valheim, they have been mostly resting on their laurels so far and these developers will probably do the same. I hope I'm wrong tho, seems like a game I'd enjoy if it had more depth.
I'd suggest valheim but I'm not sure how is the performance nowadays, our rented servers struggled a lot with only 3-4 people and I think 10 is the max. Sailing was especially very laggy and glitchy because if it unfortunately.
What makes these two better?
That is what their marketing wants you to think, the reality is going to be its just another soulless shallow designed-by-committee AAA rpg. Nothing ive seen so much has led me to believe otherwise and they have quite a streak of bad games to break.
