I&#39;ve tried playing Tie Fighter Total Conversion, but without a joystick I found it very hard to control. I&#39;ve played some Elite Dangerous, and enjoy a bit of trading, but the combat is a bit too hard for me.<br/><br/>I&#39;m a very casual gamer, and not looking for an mmo, or anything particularly challenging. I just want to zoom around in a spaceship as epic battles rage around me, and have a bit of a power fantasy.<br/><br/>Any suggestions? 2025-10-10T15:40:05Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsg6ay65k3etg3t5vvrza205s38hglaeqrt789kgxk94vq49q642pqzyqswtkd4673nehym5ldew47mr8pe0x77v3zmm9jpj3qfdj8w859qqylchfr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz842rsnr78wjuendnjsdy0paxx22pqjveex4w43gauy74vl8j6rsy6meqy'>nevent1q…meqy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>What looks realistic on screen is carefully pieced together from countless shots. An erotic moment feels much less hot if it&#39;s the 29th time you&#39;ve performed the exact same moment, and there&#39;s a dozen guys standing around holding microphone booms and complaining about the lighting not being right, and some dude keeps sending for more fake sweat to reapply to your forehead. 2025-09-13T20:14:57Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsyvev9zwp3rfecydvae0n7w80ntqe7dhn9warz99ht25ee0h8wgngzyqswtkd4673nehym5ldew47mr8pe0x77v3zmm9jpj3qfdj8w859qqh5dld3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs83ggp464pc6as5pyxn5rcxlpl2wadgf5c2zavzmy67evangkfqxss7e6re'>nevent1q…e6re</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s working on Linux? Was it straightforward to setup? I&#39;ve given up buying games on steam because of their terrible Linux support, and I&#39;d seen a lot of comments about the steam deck version sucking, so I&#39;d assumed the Linux version wasn&#39;t great. But maybe the deck hardware is the issue? 2025-04-25T05:29:44Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2n858k2e45yfu7amauqhsz0958j2u2vgus3757fjlr34xn5xj0wgzyqswtkd4673nehym5ldew47mr8pe0x77v3zmm9jpj3qfdj8w859qq6sxghz I don&#39;t really like discord, but my gaming group have been using it for rpg stuff. Chat channels, video calls and easy to setup bots have all been really useful.<br/><br/>But I get the feeling the enshitification is going to get worse, so I was looking for somewhere else to migrate to. The video stuff isn&#39;t as important, we could switch easily to other services. But before I start a new campaign, and spend time setting up bots with routines for rolling dice and calculating tables, I&#39;d like to do it somewhere that isn&#39;t in talks for an IPO.<br/><br/>I&#39;m not really up on stuff like this, so I don&#39;t know if there&#39;s some obvious similar choices or an alternative medium that I haven&#39;t considered. 2025-03-14T07:17:28Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstj7ex2jzwpm4n20ylsmpwnsx28pn5mg0pnhtza79yrquswe3zv3szyqswtkd4673nehym5ldew47mr8pe0x77v3zmm9jpj3qfdj8w859qq267tr6 The current news has me thinking that, while the death of any human is not something I actively relish, most people feel a certain satisfaction, relief or, at least, less sad when someone like Osama Bin Laden dies, because they were responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent people.<br/><br/>Which got me wondering, have studies been done estimating how many legitimate insurance cases are rejected, delayed or otherwise mishandled, and how many of those result in deaths? I guess other industries are also responsible for some pretty measurable risk factors (e.g. air pollution). It would interesting to see some rough numbers of how many deaths the CEOs who choose to continue running these companies in harmful ways account for. Obviously, they are only indirectly responsible, but the same could be said about Bin Laden, he didn&#39;t fly the planes himself, he delegated. 2024-12-07T18:54:36Z
