Games@lemmy.world•LumenTale, a monster collector that delivers what matters most: strong monster designEnglish
11·23 days agoThanks for sharing, this one was flying under my radar! There are a couple of things about monster collector games that I wish developers would improve, and I’m not sure how this one handles them:
- Balance is the core of any good RPG. The mathematics behind monster types, stats, and matchups need to be well-designed and internally consistent. If the numbers don’t make sense, the whole experience falls apart.
- Monetization can make or break a game. Please, no pay-to-win mechanics, no predatory microtransactions, and especially no gacha systems. A fair, upfront pricing model goes a long way in building trust with the community.
- If it includes multiplayer and PvP, design it thoughtfully. Competitive modes need careful balancing to prevent a small meta from dominating, and the community tools (reporting, matchmaking, etc.) should actively work against toxicity. Make it fun , with the option to challenge other using your full team (maybe 6 monsters?), normally they force you use max 3 or 4.
- QoL features are non-negotiable. Fast travel, box management, in-game encyclopedias, and autosave are small things that make a huge difference in comfort and replayability.
Thanks again, I’ll keep an eye on this one and the upcoming Nexomon 3!

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Fuck Github, Microsoft has made it impossible to create an account without linking to hardware or phones
11·24 days agoI wonder how this potential diaspora of repos from Github may affect some package distributions that are merely pointing the application to be compiled like is the case in some AUR application. Will it generate quite a lot of overhead for AUR maintainers?

Games@lemmy.world•Is Cosmic Invasion a step up from Shredder’s Revenge?English
1·27 days agoThat is really good advice. Thank you!

Games@lemmy.world•Is Cosmic Invasion a step up from Shredder’s Revenge?English
1·27 days agoIf you haven’t played Shredder’s revenge would you maybe choose Cosmic Invasion instead? I used to play Turtles in the arcade, and it was a lot of fun, but I’d like to see a modern evolution of it. I asked the other contributor about the graphics, did you feel that Shredder’s Revenge was a bit too pixelated compared to Cosmic Invasion?
I also looked at Scott Pilgrim, and it doesn’t really get my heart pumping. The aesthetic isn’t very appealing to me, and it’s not about nostalgia, because I actually kind of like the Absolum style. Absolum just looks like a more engaging game, and maybe even one that’s built more for single-player campaigns.

1·27 days agoIt is helpful. How do you feel about the graphics? I was checking some videos and Cosmic Invasion was looking a bit more polished.

Games@lemmy.world•What do you guys think of Crimson Desert?English
1·27 days agoThis is more of a personal taste thing but I’m not a huge fan of the combo: Open World + Single player + RPG
If you have Open World and RPG, nowadays that calls a Multiplayer situation for me, otherwise is just a lonely journey. Despite the bad entrance and the distributors, I hope Chrono’s Odyssey has success, without the regular bullshit that we see in MMORPGs nowadays.
Nothing against to linear game + single player + RPG. Interested to see Phantom Blade Zero and Tides of Annihilation.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•I made a kernel module for overclocking USB devices (gamepads, mice, etc.)English
2·1 month agoHi, quick question, for a real world case scenario. If one has a Keychron M6 Wireless Mouse Pixart 3950 8K Polling rate compatible out of the box with Linux via Chromium browser tweaks, would them need this DKMS module to allow it to reach the 8K pool rate OR this is to potentially surpass the manufacture ceiling?
Isn’t there a way to use Jitsi with Zullip for audio?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Offline Translator: An Android translator app that performs text and image translation completely offline using on-device models—Supports automatic language detection
7·1 month agoCool this is nice! Just confirming, the image translation is only for OCR, right? I mean it doesn’t translate a photo of a menu in a restaurant or am I missing something?

Linux@programming.dev•AerynOS Blocks LLM Use, Citing Ethical Training Data and Environmental Costs
1·2 months agoThis distro has some good track. I hope we start seeing more people using it, and more important more package maintainers, to join the project so we have more applications available. The moss package manager is an interesting idea and I can see that as some sort of an evolution from a post SolusOS era.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your favourite historical photo and why?
2·2 months agoWe can go further. We need to support science and dream.
If you used Ungoogled Chromium why did you switch and recommend Helium? Can’t you achieve Helium settings and tweaks on Ungoogled Chromium? Why add an additional party to potentially delay security updates?
Its just as open source as the other chromium based browsers
What are you talking about?
They also have very valid reasons for keeping the features that make the UI unique closed
What valid reason? The UI closed source is a terrible move. We have no idea what they added to the UI that can be pushing trackers, or even worse (You can’t verify there is no master keylogger / session stealer).
Youll find that parts of brave arent actually open source either, such as their built in AI or the build in crypto wallet.
What are you talking about? Brave is generally considered fully open source at the browser client level. The entire desktop/mobile browser client (including Shields, ad-blocking, anti-fingerprinting, Brave Rewards client-side logic, Leo AI client integration, etc.) is open source

Well, truth been told this is not literally correct. Their comment is getting a lot of downvotes.
For Android, Vanadium in GOS is a better option than Brave.
For computers, I have to say that this comment has some foundation. Why?
For general navigation (things that don’t require login): Use Mullvad Browser
For logins (things that don’t require total privacy and require better security: email, bank account, etc): For now use Brave (or Trivalent if you are using SecureBlue, or Ungoogled Chromium if you are techy savvy enough to keep the uBO extension working reliably)
With this premise, of privacy and security in PC, is difficult to outcome Brave for the later in terms of convenience.
Brave is open source, if you have a problem with something on it please bring it to us. The bloatware can be managed via settings (although very annoying and not sure when enshifitication will become unbearable).
For those recommending Vivaldi, Vivaldi is not completely open source. So, no, I can’t trust it.
