Dark Souls II I am really enjoying it. I think this is my new 2nd favorite souls game after DS1.

I assumed it was intentional.

Fun video given I have no experience with the Lynx. I saw a few good ones in there. Most game libraries seem to be dross with a few great titles and this one is no different.

I’d recommend just getting a steam deck if you don’t just want to get a PC. The variety of indie titles and the lower cost just beats any of the standard consoles.

A PC is even better, but the cost of the initial hardware is probably higher. But you can’t beat the price of the games or the variety of games available. And the PC won’t expire the way modern online consoles do.

I have a PS3 that won’t play movies from disc anymore because its online service is down or something. Ridiculous.

Every instance just needs to store the communities they use, just like now. But once cached, any other instance could grab those messages from any of those instances. It’d be a peer to peer sort of organization.

I can think of lots of caveats regarding freshness of content and trust and ensuring the tree of instances is auto organized to minimize depth. Maybe for trust you could have signatures for all content signed using keys that every instance could pull from the original instance just once every now and then.

Upvotes and responses would just travel up the tree in the reverse trip from the way content came down.

But, I think it’s similar to other things that already exist. These problems seem solvable.

If it worked like torrenting where you have seeds, etc, it’d scale almost infinitely. I don’t think we should change to fit the algorithm. We should change the algorithm to make it scale.

Just checked. I haven’t played for a few months. Didn’t even know about update 8. Love that parachutes aren’t consumed on use now!

I felt so proud when I finished that whole game without any hints. I was close to giving up a few times, but I’m so glad I kept pushing. It was so absolutely satisfying to walk off the boat knowing I’d done it all myself.

I can’t remember dust storms in that game. When do they happen? Or maybe they happen somewhere away from where I built my bases.

That’s obviously someone making a joking point about karma.

Is that value stored on the home instance of the user? I think summing karma is a terrible measure of an account. So if it’s stored in the instance, I’ll update mine to be a large random value.

Maybe we can have the admins of all instances update the value for all users to a random value to make it worthless.
