Oh no.

I forgot to say that I’m not a cop/was asking for a friend so no one DM’ed me :(

Dude just casually dropping a whole essay. What a boss.

I had no interest in Android gaming ever until I read this reply, now I’m going to try some of these.

Any recommendations for providers? Feel free to DM me if you’re not comfortable posting here.

I know you asked for as little violence as possible, but have you considered Destiny 2?

There are single, two, three and six person activities (and you can use group finders to help find a 6th and maybe make a friend on the way).

It is a first person looter shooter, but it also has a deep story as well as mechanics (eg platforming, solving puzzles, exploring areas to find collectibles). Ultimately though you do need to shoot and kill stuff. It’s not that gory however.

There’s also builds in the game, so you can spend a lot of time tweaking your builds to get it how you like it, aka theory crafting.

It’s also “free to play”, but in reality it’s “free for the first bit and then if you want access to heaps of other content you gotta spend money”.

Is the LHC trying to do this? I know it smashes atoms together at high speeds, is this us trying to “squeeze” the atoms together like the sun does? Or is the LHC is completely unrelated to OP’s question?

Gummy bears.

Some years ago they pretty much rewrote the entire base game code (or some parts of it) and tidied it up, reducing the overall size. It may be larger installed on PC (I’m on PS5) but I can’t imagine there being too much of a difference.

For PoE you consider 30gb installed (on PS5 mind you) a large file size? Yes it has mtx, but it is not once pushed or advertised to you, and none of it is required for anything. They does improve the QoL of the game however.

CoD + WZ is around 240gb I think. Most modern AAA games are usually 90gb minimum.

This is the way.

This is the way.

Yep came here to say this. Unbelievably good. So good.

This is a professional Counter Strike player called Device.

These guys started out at small lans with CRT monitors where table space was an issue, so the players started doing stuff like this:

I’ve driven past Zebras and Giraffes (and more) in Africa and it’s absolutely beautiful watching those creatures chilling just doing what they do.

Also an awesome post metal band Isis. I have a t-shirt of theirs with the lyrics to a song called ‘Dying Light’ which is about death, the afterlife and reincarnation sorta stuff, needless to say I haven’t been able to wear it in many years.

And Goddess! (not a God.)

Path of Exile on PS5 (I don’t have access to PC/xbox).

According to the trophies, only 8.8% of players complete Part 1, with 4.4% completing Part 2. For context, Part 1 would take a new player maybe 20 hours, with Part 2 being a tiny bit shorter. Imo the most likely reason for this is new players bricking their characters. PoE is extremely complicated and if you don’t know what you’re doing you’ll build and gear your toon so wrong that you’ll get to a point where you can’t progress and you don’t have any way of fixing it.

2.3% of players reach level 80, with 0.9% reaching level 90. Context: After completing the campaign you’ll be around level 70, getting to 80 isn’t difficult, long or hard. Level 90 requires a slight investment of time and effort.

If you’ve never played PoE before these stats might seem low, but for people that have played it I’m sure it makes a lot of sense! It does to me anyway.

Service provider? “Please select your Lemmy service provider”.

Deep Rock Galactic? It has the mining component…that’s about it though. It’s co-op mining along with first person shooting combat.

I know it’s not exactly what you asked for but I thought I’d throw it out there.

After looking at the picture of the bridge in the article, it looks like it should have either been fixed or blocked by a large only moveable by heavy machinery barrier of some description.

What if someone was using a 15 year old paper map? Would they get to sue the cartographer?
What if the bridge had collapsed yesterday? Last week? As much as I don’t like Google, I don’t think they’re at fault here.
