        We’re happier than other countries on average. Idk how people don’t get how that ranking works

        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”.

    Just wanted to point out that the maker of Baba is You is one of the developers of Noita.

      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.

    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.

        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.

            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.

          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.

      Haven’t played Baba is You, but ULTRAKILL is 10/10. I love it, I just can’t play it. There’s a certain boss fight I’ve gotten stuck on and can’t get past because the game’s pacing and music sends my heart rate through the roof and my ability to control my fine motor functions and ability to be patient and wait for attack patterns just kinda regresses to that of a 5yr old (music can have a very strong affect on me, Ultrakill’s music is extremely fast).

                So basically, Gabriel has a hard time hitting you if you just slide around the arena in a circle, using the marksman revolver is a really easy way to hit him while sliding, provided you can hit the coins in the air.

                  Thanks for the tip! Not sure when I’ll feel like trying to beat him again, but I’ll keep this in mind! I’ve also had someone suggest trying the accessibility options to see if one of those might help, but tbh A) it kinda feels like cheating when I got to him without having to use them, and B) I haven’t felt like trying to pick up the game again
