You should try Brighter Shores.
The original RuneScape developers and owners (i.e. Andrew Gower and his brothers) are back with a new game, at a new company, with an industry shattering $5.99/mo subscription price for all content.
No micro transactions, no pay to win, no outrageous DLC pricing, no bull shit ... just a fun game with many similarities to OSRS but also modernizations, formula improvements, and lessons learned.
God I hope so
Nintendo is in a very envious spot in general. Hell, I think Nintendo makes some great games, I just wish they wouldn't force me to buy yet another computer solely for the purpose of playing their games. I haven't owned a Mario Kart or Zelda game in years but I'd love to play if I could do so on PC/Linux.
Yeah, maybe I'm just wrong in general ... The above doesn't look that different from say black ops 6 footage.
I definitely wish for a return to the linear format (or simi linear where there are a few concurrent linear quests going on). I think straight up open world just lends itself to making a lot of walking simulators.
Halo Infinity was one of the most boring games I ever played between the weapons sounding like toys and the spread out objectives with no clear central mission.
Because graphics still sell games. You can do simplified graphics like Nintendo and still sell games, but lots of people want the photo realistic experience and the bar for that has gone way way up incrementally over the years.
To be fair the browser default for stuff like this is often kind of bad. Like browsers would rather give you a scroll bar than do a word break (and I can pretty much guarantee that's what's happened here as I can scroll right and see the full number).
The one thing I will say is this isn't a human... Deer probably aren't in their training data at near the rates humans are.
It's definitely still concerning, but also still maybe more trustworthy than some human drivers. We seriously give licenses to too many people. Within the last week I've seen a guy that went into the other lane by like 4' multiple times and I also saw a lady who blocked 2 lanes of traffic so she could make an illegal U turn on a 4 lane city street (rather than you know turning off on a side street/one of many nearby parking lots and turning around).
Some Linux bad Windows good troll
There is a difference there in that these are digital copies (easy to make more copies) vs physical books (hard to make more copies).
That said, the only reason this is an issue is copyright lasts too long on relatively short lived games. If copyright on games was a more reasonable "15 years since their last major revision", this wouldn't be a problem.
I do not trust bitwarden to encrypt my data anymore than anyone trusts keypass to encrypt my data.
They're both open source and they both do the encryption locally; you're plainly mistaken.
Maybe for traveling. However, how many people really are going to buy an expensive electronic device for a few hours on a plane?
That's a pretty "upper class" luxury at best. Then, there's nobody developing apps for it outside of a few streaming providers (maybe).
Also, I work with multiple monitors all day and play games on those monitors at night, but I still appreciate that I can look away from the content and just "get up and get a drink" or look out the window and watch the birds outside of my office at the feeder.
Also think about all this effort people put in to try and reduce their screen time... A VR headset is the antithesis of that objective.
I mean, fishing is more comparable to mining in RS2, there are other skills (typically refinement oriented skills) that have more down time between clicks.
Combat I definitely feel needs refinement. Though, I actually do like the fact that combat is not "I have a bow and I'm shooting something 1 tile in front of me and/or safe spotting."
The skills are only trained in one area, but they have interactions across areas. You use resources gathered in the forest in town and in the mines. The weapons you make in the mines can be tuned to any other location (etc...)
Andrew does a pretty decent job of explaining the thought process here if you're interested: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2791440/view/4442331835939160237
A lot of this is to solve the long time MMO issue of "new content is released but it's only for high level players and long time layers in general have a ton of advantages in the new area."
