This is in no way meant to be pedantic just something I learned a few years back. In this context it's "lede". I often assumed it was lead as in the frontrunner or leader of the story.

I also have fond memories of those AOL days. When we knew it was real people we were interacting with. What a world of difference now. Glad you made it here! Cheers.

Agreed. The past year has been a great change from other social media personally. I was Reddit only for the prior 7 or so years and Lemmy feels like a time hop back to pre-dystopic Internet days. I approach it more like my favorite forums from the 90's-00's.

Less content and users are ok when it leads to more civil engagement's.

little bitch, you better remember this next time you want wet food.

Ex developer at Bethesda quit his job after 14 years and made this heavy metal horror game as a solo dev with no publisher in c/games@lemmy.world

Interesting that when asked to bring a self founded viewpoint you return to the core conceit despite presenting counter arguments to the contrary in all prior responses.

Once again, what would prove to YOU that someone had a history or resume to be valid in a statement about prior experience in regards to new ventures?

Take the focus off this exact scenario and Bethesda Dev. Throughout the thread, there has been several other scenarios presented but none have hit home with you. What I'm asking is, what previous qualifications for a new role in an exact industry would be something you'd accept as proof of validity?

This isn't meant to be confrontational, I'm legitimately curious. I see these sentiments a lot on the Internet and it leads to a flurry of downvotes without anyone asking the person receiving them what would be their desired outcome / goal.

So to frame it in that regards, would someone being a lead engine developer give more credence to a solo project? Being a project manager? Having a varied CV that showed growth across a company providing a base understanding of several different disciplines without a targeted focus on one? Or something as simple as "they worked on the questlines that I personally liked"?

Genuinely interested in what would make YOU happy or impressed by an announcement like this.

Flip the conversation. What WOULD show a level of experience that equated to quality to you?

Add Blackbraid to that list as well. Amazing one man native black metal from the Adirondack region.

Tattoo artist friend of mine calls these "ribliographies". I rather enjoy that term.

Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty (www.nme.com)

Another article that highlighs inherent flaws in the American legal system. How can this potentially be an actual lawsuit? How can "journalists" even entertain reporting on this?

Honestly I'm just posting to laugh at my fellow lemmings responses and watch see how the plaintiff is roasted for not gitting gud.

But, there is a real conversation here around continued ignorance of game development and the value of difficult games as a value proposition. Afterall, the person attempting to sue from did choose to purchase the games willingly knowing they're not for scrub casuals like themselves.

What do you all think, is difficulty gating content a real issue? Should dev's have some kind of legal requirement to appease players that can spec a build properly? Is it Thursday and I'm just looking for some easy laughs at a morons expense?

People that enjoy Shipment, Nuketown and other such maps in Call of Duty... why? (sh.itjust.works)

So I decided to jump into some call of duty whatever the most current one is now that it's free on game pass.

The first two matches I was spawned into were on shipment. A map that I remember being absolute trash back in the day but it still is. The third match it went to put me in dropped me into that same map as well so I quit before it finished loading. Following this it dumped me into a match in progress where my team was behind by 25 points and there was 12 kills left before it was over.

My question is, why do players seem to vote for this map over any other option most of the time? What is the fun or enjoyment that I am missing out on this box of spam? It's literally nothing but spawn killing and spawn dying.

If you are a person that enjoys these, can you legitimately explain why? I'm not trying to make a troll complaint or anything. Just genuinely interested.

Is this what the modern call of duty experience is like?

Hi all,

Is there a conf change I can make to bypass local address filtering with ProtonVPN on Linux? When I attempt to access NFS and SMB shares on LAN they fail to connect with Proton active.

Thanks!
