Tried, kept returning to Google for “real” searches

It totally always felt like that, and I was so excited for the standalone because I thought THAT would be it! And then they released a buggy mess that was in early access for like 7 years, and I, as well as many others, lost interest.

I do wonder if we could get the magic back, but I also wonder if the time has passed. DayZ was around before the battle royale explosion, and kinda led to it. It also came at a time when zombie survival media like The Walking Dead was at the height of its popularity.

I’m worried that any attempt at a similar game would just turn into a KOS deathmatch no matter what. The magic of DayZ was in the interactions you’d have with strangers, and roleplaying a bit.

The standalone was such a disappointment on release that it basically killed the game entirely. I have so many amazing memories with the Arma 2 mod. I’m glad people are still having fun with it

It clicked at a young age, I’ve been good at it and enjoyed it since I was like 13. Found out it was profitable a little later and yeah, that’s all it really took. Just the path of least resistance to be honest.

Good to know, thanks!

My company has a jetbrains license and I honestly run into so many problems with it. Still haven’t found an all-around IDE that I want to stick to.

Is this what this show is like?

Most of us are presumably adults who can afford to pay for things when they’re convenient. That’s what it’s about for me, convenience. If you’re not making it convenient for me to buy your thing fair and square, then I’m gonna pirate it.

Fair enough, I appreciate the in-depth response. For the record, I am generally against defederation. I was originally against defederating from exploding-heads, too. But you seemed to be taking a personal interest in maintaining federation with hexbear. I didn’t see a post from admins regarding exploding-heads as a “valuable asset.” Maybe I’m wrong on that. Just seemed like a far cry from our instance defederating from lemmygrad from its inception, due to y’know, the whole radical troll thing. I’m not interested in radical politics in my feed. And I expect most of our users aren’t, either. We still aren’t defederated from hexbear, despite a discussion, followed by a vote thread voting overwhelmingly for it. If a vote thread needs to be instigated by an admin, fine, please do it, most people will vote in the affirmative again. They could refederate at any time if they decide they’d like to “dunk” on us again. I’m not sure why we’re leaving them with the keys. Again, I do appreciate your response, and I appreciate that this is a pain in the ass, thankless job without pay, but the whole hexbear debacle has been pretty frustrating.

Well, I wouldn’t have called the discussion your users were having around defederation a “struggle session,” to start. Feels like you were trying to push your politics and it backfired. I didn’t feel any pushback from y’all when users overwhelmingly wanted to defederate from exploding-heads.

Our admin has been acting incredibly sketchy regarding them, not a fan.

Lemmy in general is running out of comment space? That’s kinda a problem, there will always be more comments than there are posts

Benefits for on-call?

Have you considered how awkward King of Queens would be without the laugh track? With the actors pausing for laughter every 45 seconds?

Lmfao

It is lol

Beehaw seems to want to only be beehaw lol. I’m honestly not sure why they’re even using lemmy to host their community.

I’ve never had issues with my plain old OpenVPN setup
