I think they just wanted to try to give him big bushy eyebrows, but yeah he’s kinda in sexy librarian territory

Thanks for setting it up and running it while you could.

But why male models?

I agree, but I think it’s the same as the first game or any game where shot selection matters a lot. We tend to like sweeping panoramic views, especially in video games where we can’t see the details of the models. Focused on particular models, especially people and their animations will always show how ugly a game is unless a huge amount of budget went there. I think this game does look better, but the first one looked pretty good too.

Maybe I’m jaded / cynical, but that seems like a pretty reasonable compromise. If you want to take responsibility and install your software from scratch then nothing is guaranteed. I’d take that deal.

I’ve been through a similar project, helping my dad as a teenager haha. It’s a beast, but sounds like you’re on top of it.

Is there an aquarium / fishkeeping community on lemmy? I know it’s kinda niche.

I just don’t think most / any connectors are going to be compatible with modern ddr speeds. Even doing the layout on these smd pads takes a lot of work to make it right. You’d be taking a major speed downgrade which would limit your performance way more than this ram amount upgrade overcomes.

Quick Edit: storage is another beast entirely where I agree with you completely. Looks like steam deck you can upgrade the ssd and it’s at least way easier than this. Comparable to a laptop.

Genuinely curious: why fuck Ubuntu?

Buddha says that you can either attempt to change nature, or come to terms that you will never change nature and must change yourself. Or something, im not a Buddhist.

Yeah, I think they get some unfair flack for “buggy” games. It’s kinda true, but at the same time I feel like they release boundary-pushing games. Granted Im also looking back at skyrim and FO3 with the bias of nostalgia.
