  Atomic Heart was like that, too. Tons of difficulty options to customize your experience, but no matter what combat always felt like a punishment.

  Did you have server issues or were you able to play and didn’t like it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I highly recommend going in blind. Innocence is first, followed by Requiem. Innocence has been free on epic a few times so you might already own it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you played A Plague Tale? It’s much shorter but also pretty emotional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zynga shuts down Torchlight 3 developer four years after its acquisition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should try The Slormancer if you haven’t already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Long Dark gets a big free visual enhancement update out now⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is pretty great! It hits the right balance between survival and crafting for me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Black myth wukong would be so great with some difficulty options. I’m sure the rest of it story is great, but if I get stuck for a week on a boss I’m going to stop caring about that story.

  And even if you do start the new job, most jobs have a probationary period around ninety days where they can just let you go for no reason at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This concept could work great with “combat” in the style of A Plague Tale. If you’re not familiar, the main character is a child. She has a few tools available to manipulate enemies and environmental hazards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silksong announced for 2025 on the Nintendo Direct⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there another game you’re waiting for? Or were you hoping for more specifics on Silksong?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think what I read was actually about oblivion rather than Skyrim, but I’m not sure if that changes your questions or not. I agree that the Skyrim character did feel like a genetic dragonborn. The guild quests especially made it feel that way. (I’m the head wizard, but also chief fighter dude and captain of the thieves guild… What?)

  I guess for the role play aspect I prefer games to more narrowly define the main character and tell the story from there rather than leave it up to me to decide who the character becomes. A Plague Tale is a great example of this type of story telling, but of course it isn’t at all comparable to an open world game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard it’s more action and less role playing than Skyrim, which sounds perfect for me. Does that match your experience?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hades 2 is in early access, but it’s already very polished. They’re releasing more areas with each patch, but it honestly already feels like a complete game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t like souls like games. I saw black myth wukong was specifically said to not be a souls like game, but guess what? It’s enough of the same combat elements that I still don’t like it. So now I avoid games that are souls like, but also games that people claim they’re not souls like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Games Can’t Afford to Look This Good⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Firefox reader mode fixes that background.

  They might if they’re really pretty, though.

  Not that I’m aware of, no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Conservatives look to end — or replace — Miami teachers union⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rational and rationale are two different words. This page gives some good examples for both: writingexplained.org/rational-vs-rationale-differ…

  I’ll take small menu ordering every time. If we’re all getting the same thing and the choice is quantity, it’ll likely be fresh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mask Quest - A Platformer Where You Have to Manually Breathe. Survive a Pandemic Lockdown, Escape Police Brutality, and Find a Surgical Mask.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  unique breathing mechanic, where you have to press a button to inhale and release the button to exhale

  I get that a satirical game about the pandemic probably just isn’t my cup of tea, but this breathing mechanic sounds like such unnecessary tedium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Assassin's Creed Shadows delayed to February 14, 2025, abandoning season pass strategy, Steam launch day 1, and more⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that users wanting a “feature complete” product at launch is seemingly news to them is absurd.

  They added spoilers, but they don’t work on the boost app or some others.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Everyone Conscious in the Same Way? | Simon Roper⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My partner has a similarly vivid visual thinking and a “crowded” internal monologue. They also have a hard time keeping focus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Everyone Conscious in the Same Way? | Simon Roper⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think my lack of internal monologue and inability to visualize is why I’ve never been able to get into reading. I’m a little jealous when I hear people describe books as “like watching a movie in your mind”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Fallout: London’ Sets GOG Record, Gets Hotfixes In Big Update⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if they don’t actually “use” the DLCs, it makes sense to require the same content that the developer owns and used to test the mod.

  This looks really promising. I’m interested to see what QoL changes are coming for this cycle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨building the modern country OFF GRID cabin of my dreams for under £8k⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it the nearly flat roof that makes you say that? It looks like maybe 4 inch rise across eight feet, so a 1:24 pitch. “Roof felt” was the only roof covering I saw. Oh and they lined up all the siding seams which probably isn’t great.
