    I completely agree. What’s more, none of my hobbies have a lot of posts. I myself am an occasional poster at best and I’m not interested in being one of at most 4 people posting in those communities. I’m thinking about finding a third party or otherwise foss or just better reddit client and just browsing.

    Lastly, it’s fucking impossible to avoid politics on lemmy, american politics especially. Even in communities that I wouldn’t say are explicitly political, people find ways to squirm in some bullshit. I’m tired, boss. Mostly I’m tired of people being ugly to each other.







  • I would encourage you to get comfortable with a tool and consumable loadout somewhat, at least to try to keep them in the same slots and change your keybinds so you can quickly switch to a vitality shot or a melee weapon without having to scroll.

    You can make loadouts just for those, but this game’s UI is a buggy mess and the UX is guantanamo bay tier so I would wait with that until you feel ‘rich’ and always able to buy everything you like, so you don’t get gear fear and frustrated with the fact that the game doesn’t automatically use your contraband items.

    For weapons, it’s up to you. The Martini Henry is a decent gun, though I would say it’s outclassed by the Sparks in terms of damage and by the Springfield in terms of special ammo. There are challenges in the game for making hunters bleed, or using specific weapons, etc. so being able to make use of multiple guns is useful. Challenges give bloodbonds and battlepass points.

    If you feel like you want to play something varied one day, you can try out different loadouts, and if you feel like you want to get good with one gun another day, you can do that too. In the end, it’s about your enjoyment.


  • When you recruit hunters there’s an option to recruit 4 free hunters, and they reset after every match. There is 0 downside to picking those up, picking one you like, taking the gear off the other ones, and starting a game. I actually do this for a match or 2 to warm up and not experience gear fear.

    They’ll usually have similar loadouts and generally speaking the minimum necessary gear so you can start learning some weapons’ strengths and weaknesses without going in naked.

    Alternatively, you can try out soul survivor, in which only the last player standing gets to win, so you must make moves or lose.

    In the end, it comes down to being OK with failure and losing, but still striving for the win. Once you have that confidence, you might feel “ok, I’m pushing and making moves, but maybe not winning as many of these as I’d like. I guess now I have to learn to pick my battles better and learn to maneuver better”.

    Don’t worry about KD or MMR. You can hide those stats and just play the game.












  • I’d been using linux for work for a couple years and it was going fine. I had a pretty crappy laptop at home with limited storage and I was constantly wrestling with Windows storing update stuff, installing adware during updates, etc.

    I’d heard of proton and about how well it was going with it, so I had an idea linux gaming was possible.

    Eventually something happened during a windows update that required I reinstall the OS and I just pulled out the flash drive I used to install linux on my work machine and tried it out. Eventually I did have to dual boot (on a bigger drive) for some games, but nowadays I’m all linux everywhere.


  • It depends. If my friends call me by my name, I immediately feel like something serious has happened to them and they need my help.

    If my coworkers, parents, or acquaintances call me by my alias, it’s because I’m either dreaming, living in a simulation, or something has gone very very wrong. That’d put me in fight/flight/freeze for sure.
