Late to this thread. I have been playing for about 4 hours now and I love it! I was skeptical at first, but it’s a really nice chill game.

Except for the fights against some of the scary sharks and other creatures.

It’s a chill game, but it’s not really like StarDew Valley. There are a lot of different systems. It’s a fishing game, restaurant management game, visual novel, etc. There are some parallels to StarDew Valley with farming resources and selling them for profit, but otherwise it feels very different.

NoClip has a really nice overview that has only very minor spoilers here. This is what convinced me to try it out: https://youtu.be/xAvI68LQdL4

It’s available to test out currently, but based on what I’ve read it’s still pretty buggy at the moment.

It will probably be at least a couple more months before it’s ready if I had to guess. They’re making pretty constant and regular improvements outside of that though.

Currently I don’t believe that’s possible.

If you want a way to view Mastodon, I’d suggest either the Ice Cubes app or Elk (website).

It takes awhile for Path of Exile to truly click. I think it’s the best ARPG ever made, but the initial learning curve is pretty steep. Things really open up in the endgame. And we have Path of Exile 2 right around the corner which is awesome.

So once you complete the campaign you will begin maps. There are 3 tiers of maps, you have white, then yellow, then red. I consider mapping to be the endgame.

If this is your first build, the endgame will be rather punishing and you might not make it very far. It took me until my third character roughly before I was able to successfully push into red maps and beyond. There are special bosses to hunt down, and all the side content like Heist and Delve are very rewarding and fun.

Additionally you get another passive tree that allows you to customize your mapping experience however you want. Zizaran has a really nice video going over the endgame. It’s quite long, but very helpful. https://youtu.be/uf4wnvkS-mI

As some people in the comments mentioned, it’s because Steam itself relies on Chromium on the backend. And Chrome is dropping support for Windows 7/8.

That being said, if you have a machine connected to the internet you really should be on Windows 10/11 or Linux at this point.

It’s pretty risky to be running an unpatched and unsupported version of Windows these days.

It mostly just contains graphical changes, and adds optional ray tracing which I wouldn’t suggest unless you have a very powerful computer.

It had some issues when it first came out, but it seems to work fine now from my experience. Don’t expect anything groundbreaking but it’s a nice update. Textures especially look better overall.

Currently no, but there is a bit of a workaround.

You can use Memmy with Lemmy, and then you can use Lemmy to subscribe to communities/magazines on Kbin.

That’s what I do currently and it works very well.
