Ok yeah that was poorly phrased. It’s shallower than it appears on first impressions, or at least was for me.

The belt management is the best part IMO and kept me playing for a lot longer than I would have otherwise. I loved ripping up the floorboards and doing it newer and better and bigger and … Oh god I’ve made a mess again, time to start over!

It is undeniably a very fun game… but for me it was a bit like binging a netflix debut, and it didn’t stick enough to make me want to come back for “season 2”.

I’ll say that I’m also not a huge roguelike fan and while it isn’t a roguelike, I got that same feeling I get after spending a few hours in Enter the Gungeon.

Haven’t tried DLCs so can’t comment, but the gameplay is built for extension so I can imagine they’re pretty damn good.

Are you a Satisfactory fan? I have that in the library and it looked more like my kind of thing (except that I much prefer the look and feel of Factorio)

I got completely addicted for about a week and a half and then dropped it and never thought about it again. The core gameplay loop is crack, but it’s also very shallow and I can never think of a good reason to come back to it.

And my axe!

Same, and it feels great

Wow that’s a pretty UI

Do you have a special game planned for the year anniversary of your posts?

Same here, top 10 but lower half. I used to re-read it every 4 or 5 years, but I reached an apex point where it held up less and less well, and even abandoned the last read.

That might also be a result of having kids and realising that, while he went through something horrifying in the end, his behaviour before that was rather obnoxious. That said, he could have chosen not to have painted himself in that light, I just never figured out whether he realised it himself or was oblivious / felt it was justified.

Still, some magnificent prose pieces about quality and perception that are highly quotable, and broadly useful as tools to interact with the world around you.

Lila I never quite got to grips with, but my old man said I should try it “when you’re older, much older”

Not sure if intentional but made me chuckle.

Yeah, to be fair it wur’all fields back then, far as the eye

My grandparents still called them shillings sometimes, but been a long time since I’ve heard that!

I’m only old enough to remember the old 10 and 50p

To my surprise, Nanoleaf tech support responded to me within 4 hours, with a full description of the protocol that’s used both by the Desk Dock as well as their RGB strips. The docs mostly confirmed what I had already discovered independently, but there were a couple of other minor features as well (like power and brightness management) that I did not know about, which was helpful.

Combo of investigating and a foot up from the manufacturer.

When I’ve done this in the past for game controllers I’ve not received such an emphatic response (other than when I was working for the vendor).

Did get some via FOI for a few other products though.

Is metric £ not counted as a new currency? Seems like you have to go through a lot of the same efforts as you would moving to a new currency.

I’ve rebooted my router three times but this comment still looks wrong. Is my ISP customer service representative lying to me?

Please explain

The games I have for my grandma are: Tetris DX, Mario’s Picross, Pokemon Yellow, Super Mario Bros Deluxe, and Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX.

This made me want to be nine years old and going on a long trip again.

Not much, what’s Exodia with you?
