HELLDIVERS 2 Tech Blog #2 - Opt-in install size reduction beta (from 154Gb to 23Gb) (store.steampowered.com)

*We have followed through on our plans and made small reductions in the PC installation size over the last few patches while still adding new content. While this was a good start, our short term fixes have not been enough to keep up with all of the new content in the latest patch. The longer term goal has always been to bring the PC installation size much closer in line with the console versions. We are happy to report that, thanks to our partners at Nixxes, we have reached that goal much sooner than expected._

By completely de-duplicating our data, we were able to reduce the PC installation size from ~154GB to ~23GB, for a total saving of ~131GB (~85%). We have completed several rounds of internal QA and are ready to roll this out to early adopters as a public technical beta. Our testing shows that for the small percentage of players still using mechanical hard disk drives, mission loading times have only increased by a few seconds in the worst cases. This is live NOW!*

Do you cheat in video games? in c/games@lemmy.world

I remember using cheatcodes to unlock cards in Yu Gi Oh Dark Duel Series, those were fun

Nowadays I dont feel the need to, games I play are fun enough out of the box, sometimes I might look up what to do if I'm stuck

Disney Spent More On ‘Andor’ Than Any Of Its ‘Star Wars’ Movies in c/movies@piefed.social

The thing is that its not "linear", movies and TV series don't have the same goals, set pieces and crews available, or production value

What's your favourite story from history that is actually false or exaggerated? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Marie Antoinette saying let them eat bread or something

From her point of view it sounds incredibly based, it would probably have just been ignorance though. I'm still glad she died because of that patronising comment that she kind of didn't actually say

Yeah those sound awful, and I feel like they cut off words from players sometimes, I have a hard time understanding what people say when playing solo if they're using it

i think Cozy Grove (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1458100/Cozy_Grove/) might be interesting for you, it's basically Animal Crossing but with bears, and its designed so you can only make a max amount of progress per day, so no addiction

trying to think of other games, I'll update this comment if I find more!

Strange cross instance report behaviour in c/piefed_meta@piefed.social
[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (5 children)

Can confirm it happened on three occasions in the past two weeks:

  • piefed.blahaj.zone user reports lemy.lol user on feddit.uk community
  • piefed.blahaj.zone user reports lemy.lol user on lemmy.world community
  • piefed.social user reports lemmy.world user on lemmy.world community

All three reached our mod / reports queue on jlai.lu (lemmy)

Edit: I'm not sure if we have jlai.lu users remotely moderating the communities these reports came from
