Silksong was great, but it really has an issue with approachability.
Most of the quality of my life upgrades come after challenges that prove you don’t need them. I didn’t really feel at home with what the game was asking of me until I fought the cogwork dancers. I totally understand why people bounce off the game when they encounter Last Judge.

Outer Wilds.
I very much want to play this game. It’s everything I want from a detective puzzle game, but actually playing it gives me motion sickness.
- Comment on Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead 1 week ago:
Valve got to where they are by simply being the option that offered the most convenience to end users.
All the things this lawsuit is challenging are true. Valve does have a defacto monopoly on PC games distribution, they do not let you buy DLC on other platforms for games you own on steam, and they do take a 30% cut of sales.
Having these be limited by government regulation is a good thing. It would increase interoperability and increase competition in the space.
If those things get changed, people will still continue to use Steam because they continue to offer a service that “just works”. Every other storefront that has attempted to compete seems to either trip over itself by trying some anti-consumer behavior to increase short term profit(EGS, Uplay), lack discoverability features(itch), or not offer enough benefit to endure cost of change(GoG)

The chicken itself is probably fine. It would taste like any sauced chicken you get at an American Chinese restaurant.
That rice was heinous though.

- Comment on ChatGPT to start showing ads in the US 3 weeks ago:
I wonder if this is going to affect all those companies that have ChatGPT-powered customer agents.
It would be very funny to receive an ad for a competitor while trying to get help for something from the company that makes it.

It’s not the best ska song by a country mile, but it’s definitely the most ska song. At least as far as third wave goes.

Why did the author compare cops and proud boys to Miley Cyrus and Hannah Montana?
What conclusions can you draw about the author based on this comparison?

- Comment on WHO STOLE MY FUCKING BARS? 1 month ago:
I realize this is also unverifiable, but it’s just a return to non-existentence.
You already experienced that for most of human history, and then for a comparatively breif period, things were different, and then it’s back to non-existence.

Peans. Not quite peas, not quite beans, but something special, in betweens

It’s gotta be one of the early ones, before they figured out how to balance things. Something like Avernum, Geneforge, Wizardry, or Wasteland

How do you handle backups?
The other side of email is that it has become the default identity provider for the Internet. If that VM becomes unrecoverable somehow, how would you get access to your past emails?

This is probably the fault of Collective Shout.
Valve is in a position where it has to weigh if a game will be deemed too unsavory to cause a response from payment processors. If this game becomes the tipping point then stram ad a platform can no longer exist.
Getting the word out about games like this is probably the best thing that can happen at this point. It will put it on the radar of the people that are interested and it will let the art exist in a way that isnt totally ephemeral.

Is it like this for car guys too?
Like, if you finish a bunch of work replacing head gaskets or some other work that involves taking half the engine apart, when you start it for the first time is there a nagging feeling like “What if I forgot something and I’m about to ruin thousands of dollars?”
- Comment on You don't even need the other 4 points. You're fine. 2 months ago:
I mean, depending on the situation, and this is much harder for neurodivergents, that’s not the worst advice.
Chances are you’re making a much bigger deal about the situation than it realistically is. The consequences for failing to meet expectations are probably not as bad as you’re imagining. Taking a step back to look at the situation holistically can sometimes break you out of the spiral

This.
The first 10 minutes of any activity after work is by far the hardest, but once you clear that hurdle it’s easy to keep going

There are at least 4 Bad Dragon toys on that shelf. I’d defend them too. Those fuckers are expensive
- Comment on Gamepad for Linux Gaming? 2 months ago:
Most people here are recommending controllers with the Xbox layout. They are correct in most cases.
However, if you’re a weirdo like me that mostly plays 2D games, I highly recommend getting a Sony DS5 instead as the Dpad is in a far more ergonomic position for that.
