There’s also other non canon and cancelled Fallout projects like Fallout Extreme and Fallout Tactics 2. They are neat for fan project world building.
Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.
Trying to post and comment often in an effort to add to Lemmy’s growth.

For anyone interested in Van Buren there’s a huge rabbit hole you can go down. The demo is available, there’s several fan projects made to recreate elements of it (more than the one the article mentions), and Retcon Raider has some pretty good videos covering the design documents.
Glad I’m not alone on this. If I do find a solution I’ll make sure to tag you in it.
It would be nice if troubleshooting this was more standardized. Most people just seem to jump to a new firmware or give up all together.
I was referring to drives like the Seagate 16TB HDD Exos X16. That said there are MDD drives that are apparently cheaper but I haven’t heard of them before.
Kind of reminds me of how I played The Long Dark. I turned all of hazards to minimal and treated it like a walking simulator/exploration game
I mean you aren’t too far off. Honestly I wouldn’t mind it. I would rather have a feature rich simpler looking game than something that’s fancy and shallow.
I’d be more than impressed by something just basically recreates the original Sims experience.
That’s kind of like Tiny Life. It is similar to the Sims but with retro graphics. Lots of people bought it as soon as it hit early access when a lot of core things were missing.
Kind of related but KiwiX is an app that can allow people to view Wikipedia while offline. All you need is the Wikipedia ZIM file that comes in various sizes. There’s also several other Wikis that are available for download.
I wasn’t sure about that considering HAMR and HDMR drives are being developed like Seagate’s Mozaic 3+ which has 30TB.
My stake is really that 30 TB mark. That should be enough to consolidate all my storage conveniently in one spot. I don’t need incredibly fast transfer speeds so I think an HDD would do fine.
Kind of similar in the unpleasant aspect but I’d say someone who doesn’t know when to stop and take things seriously.
If you are looking for information related to Tor you could probably find some discussion of it in privacy focused communities and instances.
Maybe try searching related topics like Tor or the podcast Darknet Diaries. If you are looking for a fake Rolex or the onion versions of news sites like the BBC you can just search for those directly instead of jumping through hoops to end up there anyway.
I would say the Internet as well. It has dramatically shaped how we interact with the world and has made a lot of information more accessible.
There are probably better overall answers like farming, the printing press, vaccines, transistors, and fertilizer but I feel like a lot of them are if we didn’t have X we wouldn’t have Y situations.
In general, technology gets cheaper for better products over time. Short term that’s not always true, but the longer timescales you look, the better is it for consumers.
Yeah that’s why I linked the graph above. I asked here because I thought someone might have looked into this before and have a better insight on it. Maybe they’ve read about foretasted chip shortages or some kind of technological improvement with manufacturing. I am not sure. It’s something I only sporadically see articles about.
A year or two is a long time, and probably worth waiting.
If the price of a HDD on sale this year is equal to the average price of the same tier of HDD two or three years from now I’d probably just pull the trigger now.
Howard referred to Shattered Space as being in the vein of Bethesda’s other “annual story expansions”, adding that the developers hope to release additional content for Starfield for “a very long time". That means we’ll see at least one more big expansion, with Howard saying that the team “more or less” plan to put out annual DLC in a similar way to their previous games.
“We’re planning for the one after [Shattered Space], so there will be another one,” Howard then confirmed.
I feel like these two comments hint at different things. I hope there is more than one DLC to come.
I haven’t played Starfield yet but I’ve heard the base game can be kind of dull at times. I was hoping we would see some kind of No Man’s Sky or Cyberpunk 2077 changes to the base elements of the game that might address this.
It seems like this website works. It didn’t prompt me for a login but I didn’t test it to see the end result. Might be worth a try.
Steam, for its faults, is where it is because it is the best application to do what it does.
Yes others exist, and they’re all vastly inferior.
I’m not denying that. As a consumer I like a lot of what Steam does. I am a big fan of what they’ve done for the Linux gaming community for example. I am saying because they are so dominant in the market they can do things like keep their commissions high and push publishers to sign price parity obligations.
I imagine a lot of publishers feel like if they don’t have a choice but to list their games on Steam. The alternative would greatly limit their reach.
My initial point was Steam isn’t directly overcharging players like the title of the article implies. I feel like the title should have been about the cause and not the effect.
I mean abuse in the way where they are taking advantage of their position in the market.
There are several online game retailers publishers can utilize and being profitable is always going to be part of their business model. Epic would do it in their own way no matter what Steam did.
Even Humble Bundle isn’t perfect. You can read this article for more information but they trialed removing the slider that decides where your money goes in 2021 and even now the Default Donation and Extra to Charity options still only give the charity a small percentage.
It’s just an unfortunate reality.
I am not a fan of the title the article uses. It seems more about Steam abusing their near monopoly in a way that hurts publishers. The overcharging aspect seems more like a byproduct
It depends what you are after.
Even though Google has a long history of killing their products I doubt they’d do it to Google Drive anytime soon. You could upload it there and make it publicly available. Proton Drive is newer and preferred by a lot of people for numerous reasons. It has a 5GB limit. You could probably use that.
I feel like the key is having at least one other place where it is in the event one service dies.
That said there are paid services out there that would likely keep your files indefinitely and are unlikely to shutdown anytime soon.
