  that’s why i added the last paragraph. onelive, stadia and airconsole all tcied doing exclusives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How likely do you think game streaming as DRM is to become a thing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This probably is already a thing

  correct. it’s called cloud gaming. examples of services include AirConsole, Amazon Luna, PlayStation Plus, Xbox Cloud, GeForce Now, InstantAction, G-cluster, Gaikai, GameFly, Google Stadia, Jump, Kalydo, LiquidSky, OnLive, Playcast and PSNow.

  most of them have shut down. the ones that still exist are either offering streaming games as a value-add to other services, or marketing themselves as value-adds for other companies to include in their own product.

  since the pH scale is logarithmic^-1^ you’d need to be veeeery particular about the amount of lemon. i think you need 100l water to neutralize 1ml lemon juice

  the game would have been better if they took the combat out entirely, save for some one-on-one fights. it’s a shame that they’re done with the series, it was finally approaching “playable indy film” territory.

  the achievement means they knew, and put the monster closet shit in anyway.

  don’t make me tap the sign

  pointing out that you’re doing a thing does not qualify as parody of that thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lara Croft is a Sociopath⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i think so. i don’t really have a problem with that. as the narrator says in the stanley parable, what kind of story has the main character die halfway through

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lara Croft is a Sociopath⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  uncharted is the worst for this because the fights add basically nothing. the games are great humourous adventure serials occasionally broken up by obligatory murderous rampages. after my first playthrough of uncharted 2 it showed that i had done over 200 headshots alone. friend of mine had something like 1500.

  no child ever watches Shrek and gets the pop-culture joke about Farquaad having a small dick.

  or the fact that he’s named “fuckwad”

  shift+f10 starts the command prompt and from there you can start edge and explorer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets rid of drop box⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  you can also break out of the installer like in windows 10, and the entire os is loaded in the background so it’s possible to open edge and download another os to a usb drive within the installer. very handy.

  you can tap into the resonance frequency of the warp field to stabilise the wave but you’d need to disable a level of core safeguards while materialising.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's featured article on Wikipedia: Myst V: End of Ages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i played and loved all the myst games, including uru live. i was really excited for neyyah, followed development for years. think i’m a third of the way through now, going by achievements.

  so far, it feels like what people who don’t like myst think people enjoy about myst. it’s beautiful, densely detalied, and impenetrable . it starts with a five minute lore dump (cut down from fifteen in the demo, the dev was really proud of having “streamlined” the experience), there’s a new made-up word introduced every sentence (don’t worry, you get a glossary), and all the puzzles so far have been “align these in order” or “put the square thing in the square hole”.
  puzzles are sort of integrated into the world like in riven, but in a weird haphazard way where there are random screens placed in the world. there are encoded notes everywhere, and they’re unreadable unless you “know the trick”, which you learn fairly quickly and after that they all become plaintext instantly. which is just as well because most of them are just fluff.
  there are hints at interesting mechanics but i’ve not gotten there yet, the biggest change so far is getting a briefcase full of balls that activate machines. the balls are one-time use and uniquely coded so once you put the right ball in a machine it stays on and you no longer have that ball. it’s basically a series of fetch quests but you get all the items at once and have to just go around and put them in the right place.

  all in all, a strange experience. i’m holding off on final judgement but so far i’m only impressed by the graphics. i’m hoping the story finds its footing soon because my patience with the glossary is starting to wear thin.
