That game was the most fun I’ve ever had playing a video game. Lots of other great games have happened, but the low barrier to entry (buy-to-play instead of subscription) and the reward for slotting a useful 8 skills that worked well with each other and well with the other 7 or so people in your group cannot be beat.

Are you the only one in here who bothered to look? I saw your comment and decided to look, too, and unless I’m reading this wrong, you’re right and I don’t understand the point of this story.
- Comment on Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Delayed AGAIN — This Time to the First Half of 2025 2 months ago:
Sort of the thing that makes me think this one still has a ghost of a chance, but then I’ve liked the games The Chinese Room has made before mostly for their writing and music. I’ll probably be disappointed, but them at the helm doesn’t kill it for me like it probably does for people who wanted more of the original.

Is there a preferred metric to measure this by? I didn’t play the first one, but Wikipedia says “polarizing but ultimately positive,” and there’s an 80/100 metacritic score, for whatever that’s worth.
Your word picture is just so funny that I want to root for the game’s success just to be the person that quotes this comment and @s you, even if I tend to agree with your assessment.

Ah well, at least it’s something else off the backlog list.

Looks like there’s a demo. How’s that play?

This has been insanely informative. Thanks for the detailed reply!
- Comment on Anon doesn't like any web browsers 6 months ago:
This makes more sense to me. The only things I’ve ever made that have to worry about multiple web browsers are basic, static HTML pages that just need CSS and maybe a tiny bit of JS. My biggest annoyance was that it didn’t have a grid view like Firefox did.
What does the web use Bluetooth for? That sounds like a nightmare regardless of whether the browser will let it or not, lol

What’s up with safari? I used to dislike it but it grew on me. Seems pretty light and quick, and it doesn’t ask me to sign into it constantly.
- Comment on Don’t expect Ori 3 anytime soon, as devs say they’ll be working on No Rest for the Wicked for up to a decade 6 months ago:
…does there need to be an Ori 3? The first one was fantastic, and I liked the second one (although the weapons focus instead of the first’s use of platforming skills as weapons was a downgrade to me, but I’m in the minority there).
Seemed like a good place to wrap and do something new, so I’m interested to see what they’ll do here.
- Comment on Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection Part I To be Shot in Rome and Mexico 11 months ago:
Is the one in five from the Economist/Yougov survey? I was mixing it up in my memory with this one from the ADL on antisemitic attitudes that showed one in five people surveyed believed six or more antisemitic tropes.
I’m still a bit dumbfounded on what to do with this kind of information. It makes no sense. We literally fought the biggest war ever about this, deployed weapons so horrifying they’ve never been used again, and 20% of people are like “oh yeah let’s do it again”?!
- Comment on Every single rising post on Reddit is crypto spam 1 year ago:
I find that having a really shit take on something tends to get even passive people talking, but I worry about the long-term effects of generating conversation that way.
- Comment on [OC] My feeling as European reading news on Lemmy/Reddit 1 year ago:
…I do speak the language in one of the two, but thanks for the shitty assumption. That it’s more jarring for me between two states is my own subjective opinion. It’s almost like there’s more to culture than language.
- Comment on [OC] My feeling as European reading news on Lemmy/Reddit 1 year ago:
I’m probably just approaching this wrong overall. I think it’d be interesting to see more non-US posts in places like world news, and it’s not that hard for me to run non-English posts through a translator to get the gist of them.
This is probably a terrible place to express it, and I’m probably being obtuse, but I want to see that in addition to posts like this complaint. I would read that. I would upvote that.
- Comment on [OC] My feeling as European reading news on Lemmy/Reddit 1 year ago:
At the rush of digging myself an ever deeper hole, then…why complain? I wouldn’t ask, but I see this complaint like every few weeks or so. If it literally can’t be a thing because of how Europe is, why blame America?
We do enough like real stupid shit people can be mad at us about. This one doesn’t seem like it’s on us.
- Comment on [OC] My feeling as European reading news on Lemmy/Reddit 1 year ago:
Yeah I don’t know any Americans that don’t do this. Like I get it, I don’t like us either, but going from Colorado to Texas is more jarring to me than going from France to Germany.
- Comment on [OC] My feeling as European reading news on Lemmy/Reddit 1 year ago:
Possible I missed something, but nothing I see in the world news rules about posting in languages that aren’t English. My (admittedly small) point is that nothing prevents Europeans dominating these spaces apart apparent apathy and disinterest.
- Comment on [OC] My feeling as European reading news on Lemmy/Reddit 1 year ago:
Google tells me there’s like 332 million people in the US and like 750 million in Europe. I get that they’re different countries, but different states here might as well be.
Are there posts Europeans make that I’m just not seeing (beyond complaints like this one), or is there something else that keeps them from posting and upvoting the content they apparently want to see in places like world news?
- Comment on Almost all remote-work news is negative now but was positive in the beginning of the pandemic. Have you noticed this or am I going crazy? 1 year ago:
Preach. I hate almost every day as a manager of managers, and I don’t give a rat’s ass if any of them or their employees ever come into the office ever again. If their content is completed on-time and it’s quality work, they could make it while living in Nepal for all I care, but of course we’re being forced to come back to the office 50% of the time to do the same work we did at home for three years.
I’m doing what I can to encourage people to apply for exemptions and approving all of them that I can before someone decides I’m “not supporting the return-to-work initiative” enough and fires me. Frankly at this point it’ll be a relief.
