  • Been playing Cardinal Quest 2. It's such a joy to come back to this game again every few years. Aside from perhaps DoomRL, it's my favorite coffeebreak roguelike.

    It's got such excellent graphics and audio compared to the rest of the genre. The environments (many being outdoors) are much more interesting than your typical dungeon. The classes are quite good and even within a class there is plenty of variety with the skills and talents you take.

    The achievement system is great for giving you stuff to do and unlock besides just winning. Itemization is on point for a game with runs that last half an hour. Never tedious, usually impactful.

  • Two days doesn't seem that bad TBH.

  • Monetization itself is the problem.

  • Yeah well luckily for them, people don't seem to know how to write anything but webapps anymore anyway.

  • First multiplayer FPS I played was Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (released in '97). In that game, you had to lead your shots to a silly degree to actually hit anyone. But I think you're right; by then most games weren't suffering from that problem as much.

  • On the one hand, we're more accustomed to better hardware latency. On the other hand... we played first-person shooters on 56K modems. The lag was legendary

  • Why would an American website pay fines because of the laws of a random country?

  • That's a useless summary that describes 99% of reddit and lemmy users

  • ...you expect the dems to run a progressive?

  • Great, but how could they possibly enforce it? It's infeasible.

  • I have literally never had one of these things happen to me before. I'm pretty sure people just make them up for clicks at this point.

  • First screen is much more readable at a glance.

  • I would've been right there with you a few months ago, but I must admit diagnosis did unlock a lot of help for me.

    The medical system needs to place a lot more emphasis on prompt and accurate diagnosis, though. Without it, you have people suffering and dying indefinitely. It's like they don't care about that, though. They're happy to blame you for your symptoms and refer you to a psychiatrist or physical therapist. (Something that happened to me twice..)

  • I'm not sure exactly what you mean but I would attribute it to four main reasons:

    • I'm rural and the quality of physicians here leaves a bit to be desired
    • Physicians are overworked and as a result, generally uncaring and unable to provide substantial help.
    • It takes months to get the ball rolling on every step of the process
    • Insurance is hellbent on denying everything

    My situation didn't improve until I was finally referred to a couple physicians in the right specialty who truly care and were willing to fight my insurance.

  • U.S. health care is something else. It took me 7 years to be diagnosed with a well-known disease that has a median survival duration of 2.5 years from onset.

    I'll leave it to your imagination the obstacles I faced. Frankly, I don't want to think about it.

  • You could make the maps do anything. You could make every district in the state pass through one city.

  • Please. Europe is a dozen times less stable than the US. You guys can't stop from blowing each other up every 30 years.
