I recommend browsing videos from Squat University on Instagram and seeing if you can identify the specific type and cause of knee pain and rehabbing that before you write it off as "part of aging".

I've had to resort to multiple apps and they don't work GREAT even when combined. I was just complaining about this!

I have Auto Photo Cut Paste for cutting faces/other parts out of photos fairly cleanly, and Picsart for actually combining/putting it together, but the Picsart tools seem kind of limited. It's not a full Photoshop replacement.

I was able to make this using those two apps if it gives you an idea of what's possible. Face removed for anonymity.

This is my first Far Cry game! It was recommended to me as someone who really liked both the Assassins Creed games and the Fallout series.

It is really not a bad game, but I probably should have started something smaller and more indie after TOTK rather than going to a big studio game as the comparison isn't super fantastic. The comparison between the virtually bug free TOTK and this one is dramatic. Add to that the fact that the game plays very similarly to the last PC game I played and it's coloring my perception of it. It's just crazy to me that AAA western studios are willing to put out games with bugs after playing so many japanese games for the past year.

I think the most important takeaway I'm getting from this experience is that my usual playthrough method of trying to 100% a game by doing all the side missions and quests will not be rewarded much in this game due to the repetitive nature of it. I'm thinking I'll enjoy it more if I just stick mostly to the main plot. I grinded AC Odyssey for like 200-300 hours and I think this game is similar enough that I wouldn't get much out of it playing the same way.

I still like the game, honestly, I just do think the dichotomy of the experience is throwing me off and making me appreciate Nintendo's ability to create virtually bug free, very complete gaming experiences more than I did before.

 

I've played other Ubisoft games before, most recently AC Odyssey. Been on a Switch kick for a minute and smashed 200 hours in TOTK, potentially one of my favorite games ever at this point. But I wanted to switch it up and go through some of my PC backlog so I started up Far Cry 5.

The beginning was decent...but it became very apparent quickly that the entire model of the game was very, well, familiar. In that it's almost identical in gameplay design to AC Odyssey. Add to that the almost distracting number of bugs in the game - constantly have civilians that I can't liberate for no reason, and if you use a game controller the reverse and decelerate buttons for driving vehicles straight up aren't even mapped - and my opinion is that this is a subpar experience. I haven't extensively looked up other people's reviews or experiences, but I was curious to know if anyone felt similarly.

Not sure if you know but there's an entire instance dedicated to the DMV already - DMV.social, and DC's community is https://dmv.social/c/washingtondc or [email protected]

I mean it's fair to say that there have been many performance issues as most of the federations were not prepared for the mass influx of people, and for someone literally brand new and without context it's hard to differentiate between temporary performance issues and fundamental flaws. I agree that all the bellyaching is laughably naive about how quickly websites and services come together and evolve, but we can't pretend that the growing pains haven't happened.

Hopefully there will be a Lemmy equivalent to r/fuckcars and r/YIMBY soon enough.
