  Systems-driven games tend to have more bugs than ones where all of the solutions are finite and predetermined.

  Couldn’t put it more succinctly if I tried, great job!

  I think this might be a bias towards the sample taken, given how easy it is to make a game these days, you can probably say the same abot any genre given the right sample.

  If you want examples of survivalcraft that might not fit that (subjective) model, there’s stuff like sons of the forest or Terraria.

  You might feel tempted to say these are exceptions, but I’d argue that anything that is more common would by definition fall into same-y-ness

  I also want to add that the ui problem goes beyond genres.

  I can see why it’s known as having a lot of depth.

  Can you elaborate? What happens if you bottom out the shield?

  Gamesir cyclone 2 at 100.000 ars + shipping (around 30.000), this generic controller I can buy at 35.500 ars with free shipping and the sticks are at 11.500 a pop, plus I know for a fact that the wireless works painlessly in my case (I have some issues with xone and xpadneo and haven’t read anything that makes me think the problem doesn’t persist with other controllers that use xinput) and it has a few cool features like mapping touch controls in android without an app.

  I wish I had the same availability as you, though.

  Still, I made the post for discussion, not purchase advice on a gamepad.

  90s? what about 00s? It’s been 26 years since the turn of the century.

  I’ll give you a simple thing you can do that will make a huge difference. First and last half hour of your day, spend them with no screens. Sounds minimal but it will help you lower your dopamine baseline, after that it’ll be easier to embrace tranquility with each passing day.

  After that, if you can, add some friction between the thing you’re doing (maybe you can add a pincode requirement or something?) and yourself and if possible, set a defined time of day for the activity.

  Lastly, just some willpower every now and then to stop or even not start.

  The way I understand it, you will be able to keep enjoying it without it consuming your life, IMO this is the kind of thing we should all know to do in this day and age.

  Making your lunch for work seems like too much extra work, I just cook extra for dinner and use that for lunch next day.

  Mostly borderlands 3 with a friend and dungeons of hinterberg by myself.

  The latter takes quite a while to get mechanically interesting (combat-wise, the general flow of the game is very interesting on its own), if you like the chill vibes and cutesy people it likely won’t be a problem for you, I started playing it while I was doing something else and I feel like I had to play way too muchh before it got really interesting, before that the combat is too spimplistic and same-y, almost all of it is hidden behind game progression and I don’t think you’re supposed to have a rich full experience on your first playthrough which is… A choice… Other than that, it’s really lovely and kinda chill, it’s not the smoothest combat in the world, but you don’t play it for the combat.

  Borderlands 3 has the most fun guns in the series so far from the games I’ve played with my friend, which are bl 2, bl presequel and now bl3, next in line is tiny tina’s dnd campaign, hopefully we get to finish 3 after wine 11 improvements hit my distro on the main branch, I don’t want to be swapping that stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lightbulbs⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just heard about a phenomenon where people paint their houses white right before selling them (I assume apartments too) and then the new people won’t paint on fairly new paint so they end up keeping the bland colors.

  Some people probably depend on their lightbulbs to make the walls look yellow instead of white, I can see those cases comparing the light to a hospital.

  I personally like cooler lighting, but there’s too much color around to feel like a hospital in my case.
