tbf that is the exact image I have of whoever made the original gnu+linux post without the alpine comeback

so shattered horizon died, then someone else made it and it died again?

barqs is peak big brand in a can. When its an option I’ll always go for whatever glass bottle root of unknown brand is in the fancy drink shelf though.

soulslike mechanics probably feel clunky to people that don’t really play soulslike. That said a bunch of things totally are clunky like cycling through spells and items which hasn’t significantly changed since dark souls, and for people that would rather take their time browsing the items walking while the menu is up is probably pretty jarring. Probably other things. It really has come a long way from demon souls but I honesly kinda prefer the jankiness of the older games.

i make bread with chestnut honey, and serve it toasted with ice cream as an ice cream sandwich. it’s god tier.

Many solid deals after doom scrolling the pages.

edit: actually im not even half way and I feel like every notable old game ever is on there at a huge discount, with some I am suspicious of with only the title to go off filling the space, except there is no space and its just packed. I need to sleep but I keep scrolling.

The witness 80% off working out to 10.89 irks me. significantly better games with more content are like 6 bucks. I guess when there are no achievements hinting at something being missed, you aren’t compelled to find and do the most bullshit timed challenge in any game I can remember, which increases its value… ?

disclaimer: I enjoyed the first 15-30 minutes or so of the witness then suffered through the slog of completing every last thing. Even my autistic friends that unintentionally did 100% speedruns didn’t like it which gave me the echo chamber I had desired the whole time playing.

even if I search ‘zoom platform’ its like the 7th result after zoom the video conferencing software. just the sad state of the internet these days. anyway I found it now and I’ll check it out after work.

I only remember the ea desktop app bugging out and having a terrible time trying to play with friends in multiplayer games

unless you mean zoom the chat with your coworkers thing, I can’t find it.

I thought in japan you never quit your job or face a shit time of not getting hired because they are all ‘black companies’ and wont hire you under the assumption you could quit

unlike nearly every other company in existence in any industry, they actually earned their position. It would be nice if they gave a bigger cut to devs, sure, but literally nothing is stopping devs from going on multiple platforms. I am also more forgiving of that due to their contributions to linux gaming, especially now that windows is continuing to go bonkers even after they reached the point that I could no longer tolerate it.

I only buy off steam, gog, and itch.io for some indie stuff as the rest are a terrible experience. And there’s the other part, other platforms need to be good for anyone to want to use them, because nobody will leave steam for a worse platform unless gabe dies and the supposed fuckery prevention plan fails and they go corporate and get an EA approved ceo. Even then it would likely be a slow burn like twitter and reddit. gog and itch have the minimalist store covered so even that is a hurdle. Maybe epic execs can pull themselves up by their bootstraps and figure out how not to suck, then people might use them for more than just hoarding free games they will likely never play.

this took me way too long to understand

i feel like it was longer. its been more than that since I last played minecraft and I definitely remember getting the warning multiple times via email I feel like it even got delayed based on how long ago it feels.

sony just doesn’t want our money. hell I’d even do the stupid psn account for that one.

I’ve only played world but the story was abysmal and the characters and facial expressions were as bad as bethesda, except with very japanese gestures with that specific style of overreaction, even if the character would never pass as japanese visually. yes its a japanese game, but even 3d models of white people acting super japanese makes me about as uncomfortable as real white people doing it but with uncanny valley mixed in.

anyway there’s no way anyone plays these games for story

this alone would really make me want to buy one even though I really really shouldn’t.

This is just how fromsoft does things. Pretty weird but having played every souls game to completion and several of their other games just a bit, I feel like you get used to it. The only thing that bothered me about elden ring is that it just didn’t seem to outshine previous titles by enough (or at all) to be particularly excited about it.

I feel like its the same thing as how I can try to hop in something entirely new to me like baldurs gate 3 and there is just so much overwhelming shit that I’m not used to (still put in a good chunk of time and not done yet), but as a long time souls player, ER just felt like a new region and some new items and quests in a souls game. Oh and different timings for otherwise familiar mechanics I guess.

wait are there still webcams that don’t work? I’ve never used them apart from whatever was recommended for 3d printer monitoring and they worked fine.

there was a time when I saw a food show on tv about steamed burger place. I thought it seemed easy enough so I tried making it myself. The burger runoff water/grease left over got dumped next to a tree in my yard. For the next several weeks everyone walking their dog would have to wrangle it awag from the spot because they would zoom in as soon as they smelled it. I also tried dumping it on the road thinking the rain would wash it away but the rain just chilled and hardened it and dogs would lick it up, further distressing their humans.

edit: also recommend trying the food. steamed cheese is spoogy and really neat on burger

that’s good to hear. all of the existing ones are already in my backlog for if things at work ever go as planned ever again. I own #2 and can play the rest via family share… ‘family’
