Not a puzzle game, but Noita throws you right in without any explanation or tutorial. Everything is trial and error to the point where people complain that you can’t figure things out without the wiki. Love the game though, one of the most unique games I know.

The Souls games never really held your hand either.

Hollow Knight, The Binding of Isaac and Elite Dangerous are other games I can think of that want you to figure things out.

I get what you’re saying, but I’ve been upgrading my PC over the years and still noticed that with games of big game companies, they care less and less about performance. I firmly believe that publishers, in an attempt to cut costs, tell the game studio to not prioritize performance, while trying to rely on software like super resolution algorithms, to make their games run. In some instances they reused old game Engines for a new and bigger game, for example with Cyberpunk, Stellaris and Elden Ring. Smaller developers are doing everything they can to make a game run smoothly. The best example for this is Factorio. That is my opinion and I totally understand your point of view.

I think that’s just the state of triple A games

The game looks better and better, but the performance just keeps getting worse On my PC I can’t get the game to run properly since they switched to UE5

Finally. Some good fucking news.

My first distro was Ubuntu and I’ve been very happy with it. Many hate it for being bloated or because of the snap package manager, but in my uninformed opinion I think it’s a solid choice for beginners, since everything is already set up and ready to go. On my laptop I’m trying out NixOS, but I’m having more trouble setting that up and it’s better for advanced users, I believe. Many also recommended Linux Mint, which is also good for beginners, but doesn’t have the snap package manager like ubuntu does.

No worries, I recently broke up with my GF (aka duo partner), so my league addiction is cured!

Just Paradox things

I love the game and at times I couldn’t stop playing. The more it got patched the more issues I had with it and I haven’t played in a while. Still waiting for Falling Frontier to be released :)

• They changed the keybindings without giving you the ability to edit keybindings yourself
• The performance is bad
• The game speed is linked to framerate and the longer your run is, the slower your game runs
• The former point results in players in multiplayer getting kicked because of synchronization issues
• Many minor bugs such as science ships getting trapped at one planet because they cant ever finish surveying them
• DLCs being absolutely overpriced sometimes
• Mechanics being absolutely unbalanced

I bought the game on release and played the game for over 700 hours since and I had to witness many patches that introduced so many bugs

Still waiting for them to fix their game and not produce even more DLCs

There’s a tooltip next to the update button that says something like ‘Our Anticheat Vanguard is out now!’ or smth like that. The rest is exactly the same as any other update

Most people don’t know what they’re installing or don’t care about their privacy, which is why there’s not enough people rising up against kernel level AC’s. Also, not being able to play until you create an account is much more upsetting to most people, than just clicking ‘update’ in League of Legends.

Thanks, your answer made it clearer to me what Vanguard can do. For now I’ll unmount my NAS and I guess I should be safe ‘enough’.

Thank you very much! Long-term I will encrypt my drive and since I don’t have off-site backups for my NAS, I will just unmount it on Windows.

I wish the way FromSoft makes DLCs would be the standard in the industry. I know their model doesn’t work for every genre of videogame, but I love that they actually put a lot of work into one or two DLCs and focus on a new game after releasing them. It doesn’t feel like they take a part out of the base game and sell it to you for extra cash. They never sell day one DLCs and usually the DLC is the best part of the game (at least for me). FromSoftware is the only company I preorder games from and I’ll happily preorder this DLC.

I’m dual booting windows and linux and I’m only using Windows for applications I can’t get to run on Linux. If I’m installing Vanguard on Windows, could that be a safety concern for my Linux partition? Since I have no personal data on Windows, I wouldn’t mind installing it there, as long as it’s not an issue for my linux partition

My main issue with this blog post is that rather than properly addressing concerns, they make fun of them.

It’s not a rootkit, journalists just spread misinformation for clicks

Why is it not a rootkit, then??
