I'm so new to the game (and genre) but it's been so much fun and it works on the Steam Deck!
I'm still working things out but you drop into a map with others and it's you VS ARC robots but also VS other players. So far I've only been killed once or twice and most people seem quiet friendly and helpful.
The only way you can leave are through the same exits as everyone else... so your heart gets PUMPING.
Yeah, I think people who say that don't realize a few key things.
First, they don't understand the 'poverty tax' - how not having money for things like a security deposit, reliable transportation, or bulk buying actually costs you more in the long run.
And second, they don't see how thin the margin for error is for most middle-class families. One medical bill or job loss is all it takes to fall behind.
That's so true about the video player and upload limits, it's no doubt a huge plus for creators like you? And I totally get what you mean about the more welcoming vibe here; it's one of the best things about this space.
Just a friendly heads-up as you're getting settled: while it's generally much kinder, Lemmy has its share of 'interesting' characters here too (a wonderful mix of great people and a few bad apples). But the ability to curate your own experience is much stronger here!
I'm already having a good experience with Lemmy. A couple of features that would make it perfect for me are better discovery tools for communities and the ability to merge feeds from similar ones.
And I have to say, searching for anything (whether here or on Reddit) always feels like a bit of a challenge. A more robust search feature would be amazing! But overall, I'm really enjoying the vibe here.
I always turn mine off, the Deck has terrible battery life in sleep mode. My partner usually keeps theirs in sleep-mode and they often need to charge their Deck when turning it back on.
Can I ask the community if they're having the same issues as I with the background recording? It's been busted for me for months (and others) but others seem unaffected. It's driving me insane trying to work around it.
When I was a kid the live-action opening of Resident Evil 1 scared the shit out of me. Especially when that guy picks up the pistol from the ground and it still has a hand attached to it.
More recently I think "Spec Ops: The Line" twist(?) really stuck with me, I was an ideal player for the game because I just blindly carried on, questioning very little and shrugging it off as "accidental" or "needs must" until being faced with everything at the end.
Arc Raiders!
