Your problem with Cyberpunk is that's not interactive enough for your taste, and then you gave me 3 examples of games, that in my opinion are worse in that regard compared to Cyberpunk.

I am still waiting for you to give me an example of a perfect game for you in that regard.

Are you trying to tell me that Starfield feels more alive than Cyberpunk? Because that game is the epitome of shallow and hollow game.

Fallout 4 was feeling very grindy and I didn't like this aspect, yes, you can build stuff, but this grind was wearing me down. Isn't also Fallout 76 riddled with micro transactions? For me that's pretty scummy and I would rather avoid such games. You can hate Cyberpunk as much as you want, but they are still releasing meaningful updates to this game and it also has zero micro transactions.

And that's a game, you know piece of fiction and the fact that you don't like this game, doesn't mean that everyone else should share your opinion. The recent reviews of this game are overwhelmingly positive. 95% seems to like the game.

And this argument is petty. What if they have added the choice to buy your furniture and redecorate it, would that make the game perfect for you?

I play this game and think fuck someone put so much attention to details it is almost unreal. Because you can't deny there are a lot of details and someone there were thinking how to do certain things and creating such a game I can imagine is extremely challenging and time consuming.

Oh and by the way, can you point me to a single action rpg game that allows you to redecorate your place? You know you are able to buy different places and they all look different and unique.

You know things are never black and white. There are always shades of gray.

Are you one of the good guys, were you always good and do you think you have never been acting like a douchebag even in your teenage years? Think about it.

Just because you don't like a certain game, doesn't make that game shallow. In Cyberpunk they show the human nature like an onion with lots of layers, some are good some not so much, exactly like human beings. And that creates depth of the characters. Then you have a huge city with lots of details, historical context, shards, etc.

I understand that you don't like the game, but objectively speaking that doesn't change the fact that this game is anything but shallow.

I don't agree about the shallowness of the game. The Devs put incredible attention to details and the game offers a lot of context through shards, quests little snippets, dialogues, that are just unraveling the whole story.

And I don't know for you but I can't shake the feeling that today's USA resembles more and more the dystopian reality of Night City. The whole corpo takeover of the government, the mass layoffs due to the rise of AI, the homelessness crisis, etc.

You will unravel more of Johnny's history which explains to some extent why he is such a douchebag. You know like in real life, even the biggest douchebags have something good in them and life has turned them into one.

Give it a go again. I am playing it for the first time right now and this game is absolutely amazing. I heard they changed quite a lot of things in patch 2.0 and we are already at 2.21. Plus how many games are receiving support so long after release. Yes, their release was a dumpster fire, but they managed to fix most of their bugs and now the game is in really good shape.

Seriously, why so much hate for this game. The game at the moment is pretty good.

It looks gorgeous, has an awesome story and a fun and versatile combat system. I am not too much into first person shooting games, but I am playing it right now and I am hooked. I think this game is easily in my top 5 if not 3 games of all time.

[–] filister@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

There are a bunch of quests when your decisions really matter.

[–] filister@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Wow, that's some next level of patience. Chapeau.

[–] filister@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Didn't they also bar AP, that's another free speech 101.

Nah, that was the 5070, my friend.

 

I am building a Proxmox server running on an SFF PC. Right now I have:

  • 1 x 250 GB Kingston A400 Sata SSD
  • 1 x 512 Gb Samsung NVMe 970 Evo Plus
  • 1 x 512 Gb Kingston NVMe KC3000
  • 1 x 12 Tb Seagate Ironwolf Re-certified disk

I plan to install Proxmox on the 250Gb Kingston disk using ext4 and use it only for Proxmox and nothing else.

I am thinking of configuring ZFS mirrored raid on the two NVMe disks. Here one disk is on my mobo, and the other is connected to the PCIe slot with an adapter, as I have only one M2 slot on the mobo. I plan to use this zpool for VMs and containers.

Finally, the re-certified 12 Tb disk is currently going through a long smarctl test to confirm that it is usable and it is supposed to be used primarily for storing media and non-critical data and VM snapshots, which I don't care much about it. I will in parallel most likely adopt the critical data to a cloud location as an additional way to protect my most important data.

My question is should I be really concerned about the lack of DRAM in the Kingston A400 SSD and its relatively low TBW endurance (85 TB) in case I would run it only to boot Proxmox from it and I think the wear out of the drive would be negligible.

  • I have the option to exchange the Proxmox boot drive with a proper SSD, like a Samsung 870 Evo (SATA SSD, using MLC NAND and having DRAM cache). I would of course need to pay around 60% more but I am just thinking that this might be an overkill.
  • Do you think that using ZFS pool for the two NVMe drives will wear them out very quickly? I will have 3-4 VMs and a bunch of containers.
  • Is the use of a slow Proxmox boot drive (SATA SSD) going to slow down the VMs and containers as they will run on much quicker NVMe SSDs, or it won't matter?
  • Shall I format the Seagate HDD in xfs to speed up the transfer of large files or shall I stick to ext4?
  • What other tests shall I run to confirm that the HDD is indeed fine and I can use it?
