I just don’t get the hype of immutable. Sure, it’s not easy to break and can be better for security, but it really does defeat the purpose of Linux freedom. It’s only really good for absolute and total beginners (meaning those who aren’t tech savvy), and for home console style PCs.

Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Oblivion Leak Reveals 'Remastered' Title, Upgrades, and Deluxe EditionEnglish2·6 hours agoThe problem is the style, not just the difficulty. I don’t like the whole timed parry system. It’s alright if it’s akin to Witcher 3 where the blocks are timed but not impossibly so, and where you’re given other means of fighting than parry-strike-repeat… Even then though, as much as I love that game, I like TES combat. Its simplicity makes it grounded and its feel is still somewhat rooted in the dungeon crawlers that made TES what it is.
I’ll never understand the hate, it feels to me like the hate comes from outsiders who weren’t long-term fans and what the series to be what it’s not.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Technology@lemmy.zip•Bluesky Blocked in Turkey - Here's WhyEnglish21·20 hours agoYeah? Good. Bluesky’s community is atrocious. Nostr and the Fediverse are better and far more resistant to censorship anyway.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Games@lemmy.world•What's a cancelled game you really miss?English8·20 hours agoEverQuest Next. That game would have been the best MMO ever, if they would’ve stuck with it. Unfortunately, SOE got bought out and the new owners were whackos who didn’t care. It’s sad because nothing has come close since then. Only GW2 and ESO have even a fraction of the concepts of EQN.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Oblivion Leak Reveals 'Remastered' Title, Upgrades, and Deluxe EditionEnglish5·20 hours agoTES combat may be plain but I’d take a grounded and easy to grasp combat system over hair-tearing frustration. There’s a reason I don’t buy soulslikes. I like to enjoy and unwind with video games, not torture myself until I ‘git gud’. Soulslike combat will utterly ruin this remake for me.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Oblivion Leak Reveals 'Remastered' Title, Upgrades, and Deluxe EditionEnglish26·20 hours agoHardly comparable. The bag wasn’t the centerpiece, it was barely even advertised in the first place… and people whined because an ancillary feature of a much larger package wasn’t the material they wanted. That seems awfully pathetic and vain to me.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Games@lemmy.world•HELP! Im looking for a game like CIV 6 where the point is to go to warEnglish9·23 hours agoTry Stellaris. It’s similar gameplay, but it’s realtime and the space battles you can get yourself into can be truly epic.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Oblivion Leak Reveals 'Remastered' Title, Upgrades, and Deluxe EditionEnglish29·23 hours agoThat whole canvas bag thing was a load of crap. “Ouh, my bag wasn’t in the material I wanted it to be in. I’m gonna throw a tantrum and sue the company.”
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Oblivion Leak Reveals 'Remastered' Title, Upgrades, and Deluxe EditionEnglish8·23 hours agoI’m very excited for this project, but what concerns me are the lack of color in those screenshots and the rumor that it’s gonna have soulslike combat. I do not want soulslike combat. We don’t need soulslike combat in every freaking game.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Technology@lemmy.zip•Discord Begins Testing Facial Scans for Age VerificationEnglish21·23 hours agoI already don’t use Discord too much, and if they push this, I’m done with it completely.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Looking for an FPS with active community serversEnglish2·23 hours agoHaha I know what you mean. I’ve had some good sessions but generally speaking, I suck at it.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Technology@lemmy.zip•Meet Neptune, a TikTok alternative where creators can hide likes and follower counts | TechCrunchEnglish1·3 days agoI cannot be paid enough to use or support TikTok or anything like it. A major source of all the issues society is facing today.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Looking for an FPS with active community serversEnglish3·3 days agoTry Counter-Strike: Source. A bit older but it’s still quite active, runs flawlessly on Linux and is just a load of fun.
Much like Andor as a whole, incredibly mid.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Zorin OS 17.3 replaced the default Browser from Firefox(Old) to Brave(New).11·3 days agoYou really do, you just don’t want to admit it. It’s okay, you don’t have to be angry at God. Just let go.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Ex-PlayStation exec argues 'only the dog can hear' differences between consoles and gaming PCs: 'They're all quite similar'English6·5 days agoDelusion isn’t a good look!
With the exception of chat, try Old School RuneScape. Good game for passive gameplay as well as more intensive/focused gameplay.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Games@lemmy.world•'There Are So Few Of Us Left': Even Full-Time Games Journalists At Big Websites Are Feeling It In 2025English66·7 days agoI’d say a reasonable amount of this is due to how many of them shove their own ideologies into their reporting, with not even a slight attempt to remain objective or neutral.
Jakob Fel@retrolemmy.comto Games@lemmy.world•Should we boycott games with loot boxes?English2·7 days agoNot in every game. Some games make it reasonably fair, such as Elder Scrolls Online which makes it possible to obtain the lootbox items in other ways.
That’s because they’re classy and understand that the two are totally different projects. Skyblivion is impressive but that doesn’t even remotely mean that an official remaster/remake isn’t worth having.
