Pay to Win mostly refers to gaining an unfair, measurable advantage by paying - access to stronger equipment, for example. Repair mechanic you mention is fully available to free to play folks, it just costs resources which are abundant.

So what actually does Fallout 1-st? It makes the game more cozy by removing limits on scrap you can have, allowing you to plop a small pseudo-base wherever you need it (you can do the same with normal one) and gives you a set amount of premium currency that allows you to buy cosmetics, additional slots for bases/loadouts and QoL stand-ins for mechanics like repair or scrapping.

It has, overall, no influence at all on your chances of success in-game. And from how you write it seems you never touched the game and are pulling what yo call “info” from your ass.

Pay to win MMO…I mean, dunno what you are smoking but I want some. xD

How the hell does one pay to win F76?

I can reply to your message when I have the time for it and carry on.

I can delay the reply if it’s not urgent.

You can spend time actually writing what you want from me, so I can read it, and give you full answer. We both can then actually recall the conversation because it’s saved.

And for people saying you can deny the calls - you can, and then you deal with narcissistic assholes having beef with you for doing so.

Edit: And also about not picking up - with message, your urgency is stated. With calls it is not. If I don’t pick up, who knows how important was the thing you wanted. With message it’s clear as a day from the get go, unless you can’t write for shit.

Hm. Right. I think I could replace last part with what you wrote to be less of ableist piece of work. Well, people learn all their lives, thanks for pointing this up <3

I live in a flat with shitty grid in a country with lackluster charger infrastructure.

Age is a matter of mentality. If you look at a tree that looks fun to climb and you think “too old for this”, you’re old.

If you wanna try something new but “you’re too old for this”, you’re old.

If some kid starts using weird lingo and instead of decyphering it you think “kids are weird”, you’re old. And a hypocrite.

Of course there’s magic number of 60 year old when your mentality doesn’t matter as your body starts being held with glue, spite and will. I mean you can certainly try to be young but…

Tried commands, tried proton experimental, tried gametime or whatever it’s called, tried switching dx’s and all that. And yeah, used proprietary, except on cachyOS which I believe supports my hardware out of the box.

And honestly, I didn’t need co.mand line for anything when I tried and. Spent a week on it, made it mirror more or less my wi dows config software wise.

Only thing that, except gaming, pissed me off is Linux not being able to read my portable HDD. “Yadda yadda, suprblocm damaged, yadda yadda”.

Windows, seemingly, didn’t get the memo as it opens it without a problem.

Not exactly potato, but my performance on Linux sucks ass and I believe it’s mostly due to drivers. I am mainly gaming as of now, so not running games I can run on Windows is no go.

GTX 750 + i-4460. So yeah, low end but servicable…on windows. Tried Linux Mint, Nobara and CachyOS. My benchmark was Fallout 76 and Hogwarts Legacy. On windows both work. On Linux, no matter the distro, Hogwarts dies pre “press start” and F76 blinks, lags and freezes. In both cases after I already set settings as low as I could, lot lower than Windows.

Oh and yeah I tried various fixes and tricks, used both steam proton and GE, tried to adjust commands. Nothing worked. And all I am asking for is to match windows performance.

Tried to. It doesn’t like my pc. Not buying new rig for it. Win 10 LTSC it is. ^^

( Honestly tho if you have modern hardware in any meaning of the word, try it. )

Isn’t the problem that Joker is pretty much in a weird love thingie with Batman? The whole gloating and pushing him to his limits is the point xD

Quick question: Do mayors in South Korea end like presidents? You know, jailed etc.

Honestly, reading comments around, remove display of up/down votes entirely, but keep the system and instead add two tags “Popular” and “Unpopular”, both working on certain tresholds to both amount of votes and ratio of votes. Keep positioning mechanics with using votes to position content, but apply them only to tagged elements.

This way we enable discussion on most topics without problems and incentivise actually talking about topics, while still keeping the means to flag both bad will content and content most valued by community.

With Lemmy I’d say having minimum 50 votes total for comment and 100 for post sound good for total vote treshold, while having 75% of upvotes/downotes sounds good as a ratio treshold. But I am not sure on these, as I am honestly freeballin it right now.

Heck, leave the amount of total votes up to communities - some are bigger, some are smaller after all.

Hm. I remember I ate 6-8 scrambled eggs with two packed sandwhiches for breakfast when I was a teen, and I am only average height.

On the other hand, once my metabolism slowed down I started inflating like a baloon and had really hard time learning how to eat less xD

If that’s the trend of the franchise I sure won’t be touching any of the later ones.

Good news! It’s prolly not. In an interview I’ve read quite some time ago, creators said that they hit a silly problem of not having path of improving the game because everything works and…well, not much to add.

So instead they experiment slightly with each version, making small changes every time to create another “flavor” of Civ.

Heh. Paid for Win 7. Still not ashamed. Best system I had, even if it had it’s weird stuff. And it’s licence carried on to Win 10 and prolly 11. Cannot say with 11 as I am highly uninterested in it xD

IIRC from the intervieq they did want an actual sequel. But when they enrolled Chinese Room, the studio told them up front they won’t be able to do that, best they can realistically do in sensible time would be more like Dishonored. Paradox agreed and…here it is. Dishonored VTMB edition.

We can fight off sickness, select meat etc. but I have no bloody idea how to pretend Torment Nexus led by profit motive…well, that answers my question I guess

I honestly don’t get what the big deal with cannibalism is. Like I found it appaling few years back, some vegan pointed out that if we eat animals, why not humans, and I actually gave it thought and…

No, really, why not? So many people die every day. So much meat goes to waste. So many organs which could aave so many lives. Wtf.

My hardware (GPU) is literally too old and unsupported according to Bazzite itself xD

Never went with Win 11. Tried jump to Linux, played with it for a week I believe, quite recently. Tinkering aside (mostly due to learning so not so bad, last distro change I got it all up to where I wanted it within an hour after install, because I finally knew what I was doin xD) my main problem is that Linux doesn’t really use my specs well.

I have an older system and on Windows, I can punch above my league with running shit like Hogwarts Legacy or Fallout 76 on my i5-4460 and GTX 750, while on Mint, CachyOS and Nobara Fallout 76 struggled hard to run fluidly, liked to flicker and freeze, and Hogwarts Legacy couldn’t even get into menu. And I am not really willing to give up on these two for now.

But other than that I found that no matter the distro, shit just…works. The worst part I think was that drivers for my old GPU are shitty on linux, but if you have in hardware from the last decade, I’d say just try it. All apps and shit you need is mostly handled by package repositories (something like app stores) and if your software isn’t there, check it’s website, maybe they have .deb or .rpm packages which are pretty much Linux .exe files. Or a simple command to download it via terminal.

I have old Brother printer and even tho Linux community labels it papwerweight, Brother actually has full drivers for linux installed via copy-paste commands they give you on their website. With full instructions how to do it step by step. So really, if you didn’t try it yet, consider.
