No, we’re not ok
Gets rated as the happiest country for yet another consecutive year.
Why! What am I missing!? Who here is happy?!!
Maybe we’re doing “fake it before you make it” for the ratings
One of my favorite comments I’ve seen was last time one of these surveys were posted and a Finn responded “It’s not that we’re happier than everyone else, it’s just that the world is going to hell and we were already used to it”.
Living next to Russia does have that effect.
Just wanted to point out that the maker of Baba is You is one of the developers of Noita.
There are not many people in Finland apparently
That man’s name? Linus Ultrakillsquadunger.
*Ultrakillsquadonen
A -nen ending on a surname is very common in Finland. (Like expresident Tarja Halonen or F1 driver Kimi Raikkonen)
You forgot Baron Harkonnen
About half of LA county
Haha holy shit, this makes so much sense
All of them are amazing gifts to the world
Fear and Hunger man… that game is like a playable version of Berserk as a random person, rather than Guts.
Noita is amazing.
And also very hard.
I cant get past 3 level
I’m also slowly getting into it. Just got a run yesterday where I got a super good wand in the hisi base. I was shooting these blue bubbles at high speed with homing. It had so much knockback that I could use only that to fly. It was the first time where I got to level 5,6 and even 7 and I was still breezing through. But I still died. I used a wand with lots of slots as storage for spells and it killed me immediately. Can’t describe how terrible I felt after that…
Yeah once I randomly got a wand with lightening bolt.
Holy shit that spell is awesome, and also very dangerous.
Took me to the end of level 3 before, i killed myself with it. Lmao.
Can’t describe how terrible I felt after that…
Welcome to noita lol
Just here to plug DunkOrSlam and FuryForged on YT and Twitch for the noobies.
DunkOrSlam is awesome! I’ve learned so much. Now I die slightly later lol. But seriously, very nice community. Long live the moist mob! (!uguu)
Chainsaw is your friend
I do recall a joke about something similar.
“LSD and Unix both came out of UC Berkeley, I do not believe that this is a coincidence.”
Noita is really interesting, but I feel like the base game’s balance is janky. You can play really well and just get utterly fucked on wands. They have this amazingly nuanced magic system but it feels like you rarely get the chance to harness it or experiment and death is very easy.
Don’t get me wrong, I highly recommend it if you like side scrolling rogue-lites. Plus the game’s a LOT bigger than it first appears.
After playing for hundreds of hours, I decided that being fucked so often and so arbitrarily is the secret sauce that makes god-runs the fantastic dopamine rush that they are. Eventually, you attain equanimity with death; only then are you ready to ascend.
I played a lot and once had a really good run and got really far. After that I didn’t want to play any more because it felt it would take too long to ever get beyond that run.
Some kind of checkpoint from which you could start when you die would probably work better for me.
If you don’t like something, look for mods. The modding community is amazing.
My friend’s theory was that a lot of it is because of how long and dark the winters are in northern europe.
That same lots of free time for many and early projects by universities to connect to the internet, and there’s a whole lot of us Nordic nerds around
I love how all this dark shit comes out of the happiest country in the world
Maybe this is how they balance their lives? “I’m too happy, I need to create evil in some way”
One of these is definitely not like the others
It’s pretty torturous to sit on Lemmy and seeing the constant Linux posts.
Do you have a few minutes to talk about our lord and saviour Linus Torvalds?
Are you not a Linux fan, or is it just cropping up a bit too much for you?
I’ve been using Linux as a daily driver for over half my life, so seeing Linux everywhere is just normal to me. I can understand how it must feel weird to someone who hasn’t or doesn’t want to get involved with it though.
Personally it’s the degree of fanaticism around Linux here. I use Linux on most of my machines but I’ve seen so much weird gatekeeping and elitism around Linux here. You’ve gotta use Linux but don’t use Ubuntu or Fedora because of what Canonical or Red Hat are doing. Oh but don’t use Arch because you’ll be required to tell everyone that you use it, btw. Oh, you chose a distro that uses systemd? Why do you hate the unix philosophy? It’s just exhausting.
It feels like a weird geek version of virtue signalling – who can have the most ‘correct’ setup
Yeah, I get that. The tribalism can be a bit of fun sometimes but there are too many people who take it way too far. I don’t understand using it as a means of division.
At the end of the day, there is far more that unites us than divides us. We seek to empower ourselves and reject the ever increasing corporate control of our computing and digital lives. For some that means self-hosting their own cloud stuff and for others it is simply being able to boot into the OS and edit an Office document without needing ridiculous fucking subscriptions.
Yeah… I think I just figure everyone everywhere does that kind of stupid ‘in group’ bs. But overall, they’re pretty niche, useless, and not too intrusive.
Oh, this thread isn’t just an evaluation, this is from a [windows/mac/linux/amd/nvidia/republican/democrat/socialist/capitalist/lemmy/reddit/etc/etc/etc] fanboi.
Downvote and continue.

Not the dude that you replied to, but heres my view.
There’s alot of linux based memes present on lemmy, and lots of “Linux btw” posters. It’s pretty disproportionate compared to other online locations of discussion. Im guessing the fediverse in general draws more of this crowd due to the nuances of it and similarly to how linux operates openly, etc, etc.
As a sysadmin whos focus is on all types of systems, it definitely doesn’t bother or stick out much for me personally either, but there’s for sure a higher content % about linux compared to other places. Which might get anoying to some people.
I tried to switch to linux like 6 or so years ago and kinda gave up because most games i played back then weren’t compatible, or you had to jump through too many hoops. One day i’ll try again
Proton has changed things pretty significantly over the last few years in this regard. Gaming should be a much more pleasant experience when you do decide you want to give it another go.
The advent of proton on steam and all the stuff developed for the steamdeck has made gaming on Linux (at least in my experience) nearly indistinguishable from Windows. Very hapy I made the switch
This. Linux is just solid now. There are tradeoffs, but fewer than going, say, Mac.
Some games won’t work. Most will, or will work after some light tweaking.
For me that day was a little over a year ago. It finally stuck! My games run! Even SteamVR works!
I tried, got sick if having to read multi-step instructions just to install some piece of software.
Linux is the Noita of OS’s
It’s Cruelty Squad isn’t it?
Ahh yes Noita, the setting-myself-on-fire simulator.
Nokia was from Finland. That was the high quality shit.
Given that selection, they seem more than okay
Hakita is either very ok or not ok at all.
I mean look at his youtube channel: https://m.youtube.com/@Hakita/videos
No, they’re finished
