Is this the one that is not made by CDPR?

Quoting: DrakkerYou can disable temporal storm and you are right, there is a peaceful mode where mobs will not attack you. You have to define those in the world config, in single player its easier to set them when initially creating the world.

It depends on how they want to play, but there are also surface baddies, such as wolves and bears, those can be a lot worse than the underground baddies, looking at you polar bears.

I don't really mind a couple of mobs, it's just the general path they've gone down after the potions update (i think, it was already at least 10 years ago, getting old), where if you didn't lit up every square perfectly the game spawns a 1000 mobs on your head, regardless if you've lit up a huge area around your base or not. It was a very noticable change back then, used to be fine with like 80% covered well by torches.

That said, nowadays i just play Voxelibre when i have the free time, i think those guys tuned the world gen in luanti to be prettier than minecraft. Also, personal opinion, to me it feels like it's running much faster.

Hot take here, but combat in these games suck. I started hating minecraft back when they started making it combat oriented, with armies of mobs spawning and the sniper skeletons.

I think i bought this game and might even end up playing it as i'm forced to use dotnet for a driver. Seems like a pretty game where the focus is on farming and building instead of combat.

How does the game compare to the original? I loved the setting and the gameplay in that one, it might be something I'd get if it's not too far off from the original.

To be honest i checked out the video only because of their name, but in 2 seconds i got the feeling this wasn't for me.

Quoting: hummer010I'd just like to see Valve move into the 2010's and make the Steam client 64-bit.

I'll second that. I think Steam is probably the only thing keeping 32-bit multilib around for me. It would be nice to see it go for organization and cleanliness.

If the steam client moves entirely to 64-bit, they'll still need 32-bit libs to run old 32-bit games.

Wine/Proton may be able to use 64-bit libs for 32-bit windows games (not yet but working on it afaik). And then there are native linux games, where it's a bit trickier, though most linux native games are 64-bit iirc.

They could just use a light container and run those games with that. These are old software, so probably one container would suffice. There are tons of them, and they do not slow games down or dictate the user to enable a foreign distribution channel like flatpak does.

They unfortunately removed most things, like arms race and short competitive. Game is unplayable without them.

Quoting: Naibvery nice... but :( starting to get enough points to fit to a sigmoid... if that inflection point is correct, are we looking at like 3% as the settling point
" />

Out of curiosity, what method did you use to fit that curve?

Quoting: jensI think in the long term global matchmaking should be restricted to fully closed systems like consoles and cloud gaming.

PC gaming (Windows and Linux) should only support local multiplayer (separate servers like back in the days or something like friends groups only) where cheating is “banned” by social controls because players knows each other and thus no anti cheat software is needed.
Anti-cheat software is very problematic on Windows. I had to install FC25 on a Windows machine, no fun. Also Windows users don’t deserve this..

Why? Are people really that bothered by the occasional cheater? It's a red herring anyway, the anti-cheat makers have to make their money somehow.

For me all of this is very worrying i don't want more DRM pushed down into my system against my will (multimedia stuff and the web is more than enough), I'd rather not have these things on linux in that case.
