  • Honestly it is. The remaster is beautiful. But the games are very much tank controls at heart. So even though it might feel counter intuitive to use the old tank controls; it definitely is the best way to play these games.

    I’ve tried the modern controls, and it becomes apparent really fast that these games were not made for it. It’s clunky and unwieldy at best, and completely illogical and unresponsive at worst.

    The tank controls take some getting used to, but if you play Lara’s home you can get used to them in peace.















  • It thankfully seems to have been fixed thanks to @graycube@lemmy.world. Running analyze verbose; in postgres.

    The pgautoupgrade was added for the new version because this deployment is an all-in-one solution for running lemmy. And upgrading the databases turned out to be quite the effort until some user pointed the maintainer towards pgautoupgrade here.

    I tried running lemmy before I found out about this, but this just makes it so much more convenient to run.
