This concept should’ve been a slam dunk, and they blew it.

My next game of Cyberpunk on Sunday.

My own instance is fairly narrow in scope, and I don't think I can add it here. Is there a way to post a community in another instance?

 

Since Sins 2 just came out today, I hopped on Lemmy and was wondering if anyone else around here plays it, and where you hang out?

 

I am looking for ways to improve my exploration gameplay in a Theater of the Mind type game where there is no map and no need for detailed environmental descriptions, if that makes sense; I don't want to have to keep track of corridors and turns, and that sort of thing.

Ideally I would like a system or ruleset that allows me to randomly generate interesting exploration gameplay without relying on having to map out everything. Preferably system agnostic so I can use it in various games.

Here's an example of the sort of thing I'm looking for, but would like to see alternatives that are a bit more in depth, or have more options:

I remember the go to strategy being to summon an Alip, an incorporeal undead that can drain strength without needing a save.

Psychic Tears - That’s a good band name.

Been waiting for something like this; hope it works out well.

TheModernRogue about the time Jason left. Just lost its charm.

Well, there were these two old guys arguing about golf on TV. Can’t say that did wonders for me.

I love my Keurig, but I always use the reusable mesh cups.

Sort of? It’d be kinda like Pandora where you’d name a song or band in your post, but people would make the recommendations instead of an algorithm.

I’ve had an idea for a community based around recommending music to each other; you’d post a song or band and get recommendations. Basically a Build my Playlist community.

 

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask this, but I don't know where else to go. I'm having trouble reaching the pathfinder.social instance; I can't seem to post, or subscribe to their communities. Is anyone else having issues?

 

I have been using Windows my entire life, but since I got my Steam Deck I’ve been considering trying to get into Linux.

I obviously don’t have much of an idea where to begin, other than that I’m currently also trying to learn Javascript. I'd like a basic workstation I can code on and mess with, that doesn't run more than a couple hundred. Could use some recommendations for hardware plus where to begin.

 

I know this might be a bit of a long shot, but I figured I would give it a go;

I am trying to get Tyrian 2000 to work properly on my Steam Deck, via installing it from my gog library on Heroic. While it managed to install correctly I have a few issues that need to be resolved before I can continue;

The controller support is non-existent. I am unsure if that is fixable, though I suspect I might be able to get around it by remapping the Steam Deck controls. Not really a problem though if anybody knows a solution I'd be happy to hear it.

The real issue is that the music is not playing. Sound effects work just fine, so far, but I don't get any music. I suspect it has something to do with Dosbox, given the age of the game in question.

 

I’m trying to put a vinyl skin on my Steam Deck, and I’m having trouble; it keeps wrinkling up at the bottoms of the grips. Any suggestions?
