DeFaced

Some ex-Blizzard devs? Try like half of the Starcraft dev team. The other half went to one of Dreamhaven’s studios. Blizzard is just kind of creatively dead at this point, they have no imagination, they steal animations and ideas from other games like the whole flying stuff in Dragonflight being stolen from Guild Wars 2, and now they’re making a game in the survival genre that hasn’t really been popular since the launch of Ark.

I would love the heretic and hexen games remastered, even heretic 2 since it’s melee combat was the predecessor to the melee combat in Jedi outcast and Jedi academy.

As soon as they announced battle passes in diablo 4 it was a hard pass for me. I just knew they were gonna nickel and dime every loyal fan to the very end. FF16 at least seems to be a complete game with no battle passes or seasons, no “surprise mechanics” or buying power, just a standard off the shelf video game made by people who create games for the love of the craft and not to milk you like a cow.

I second this, greatest rendition of a fantasy story ever told in a video game IMO. Everything just comes together so well and creates a wonderfully integrated world.

Probably Linux Mint or Solus, the problem with Mint was the older package base. I loved all of the built-in tools they had, but everything else was so far behind and Cinnamon doesn’t even support Wayland. Solus was the next one I tried, but it has slowly been dying, with their lead dev resigning and the guy maintaining Budgie taking over again, I’m not sure how trustworthy they really are at this point. I’m also aware of the whole serpentOS deal they have with Ikey right now, but honestly that doesn’t really bring me any comfort. I switched to endeavor and I can’t see myself moving away from it any time soon. I did have a brief run with Nobara, but the fact that it was based on Fedora and Fedora usually takes some hoops to jump through for extra package repos and there are some packages that require compiling from source, so I didn’t really want to mess with it anymore.
