  Plus above, increased move to ownership/physical media as people realize continued monthly costs are not worth it.

  For me it’s the opposite. I tend to get really into a pandora station for a few months, then get tired of it and it’s almost permanently played out to me. Even going back to it years later it will feel old. For someone like me, physical media just doesn’t make sense. Paying pandora $5/month to have ad free (and DJ free) music when I’m driving or exercising is worth it to me.

  Boost gives a little icon to accounts under a week old. I don’t think there’s an option to filter them, but they’re at least a little more obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve learned to be more careful with those hyped games. I don’t like souls likes or platformers, but black myth wukong and silksong are both massively popular. I saw enough comments claiming BMW “wasn’t a souls like” that I decided to give it a try. I’m sure there are some technical deviations from the genre to claim it’s its own thing, but fit me it was just a miserable waste of $60.

  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!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

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

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

  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 ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

  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!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨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!⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨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.

  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.

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