That’s actually what I hope they’re fixing with the remake.
Early puzzles were clever, later puzzles just have so many parts it feels like a laborious chore to get every laser and box and replay exactly where it needs to be. I’m sorry to say I didn’t even finish the game.
Managerial bloat seems to be an issue at a lot of large companies. Only so many people are actually needed to do the thing.
Isn’t this the one where people started saying “g*y” because there’s only one sexuality and Taiwan doesn’t exist?
I’ve been pretty impressed that the shooter has so far evaded police. I can only imagine that there have been at least one or two incidents thus far where people, be it cops or witnesses, had a clear opportunity to take actions that would lead to his immediate capture, but decided not to.
From what I know, cops often rely on the cooperation of the public to resolve crimes, but they may not be getting any on this one.
I’m curious how many of those opposing the current trend would agree with statements as simple as “It is a good thing that Adolf Hitler, author of the blitzkrieg and holocaust that killed millions of people, is dead.”
Like, I get that anytime Hitler comes up, a part of our mind sorts it into exaggerated allegory. But he was a real person, who existed - and, if he hadn’t died in mysterious circumstances, it would be up to Berlin’s invaders to decide what to do with him.
And, speaking honestly, would giving him an extensive trial and then spend the rest of his life in prison, able to spread his ideology and beliefs to other prisoners, be any better?
Playing Another Crab’s Treasure - a Soulslike with a humorous tone. I had the game on Xbox, but abandoned that and replaying on Steam. I think having a calmer, more analytical mood to the difficulty is helping me make progress faster.
There’s a region where you need to stick to the path lest you awaken a gigantic and threatening enemy bearing an instant-kill attack. I just returned to that area and killed it.
Any of them with flat roofs to ride on top of.
I’ve gotta remember what those ghosts are.
I’ve slowly acclimated to Soulslikes since Tunic, and a common theme is that they make you think you need to be pressing more buttons, when they’re often teaching specialized bits of patience. In Tunic’s case, a lot of people expend their stamina too quickly.
Still don’t like FromSoft’s games
Trump was basically the equivalent of the guy in your street that says when he’s president, everyone gets a million dollars and a pony.
Such laptops are at the low end. But, if you have a really good Internet connection, you could expand your options a lot with GeForce Now. Basically a paid service to use cloud servers to render your game; surrendering an often-unnoticeable delay in response time. They have a free tier worth trying.
I imagine Steam might have a power/messaging problem if they make a successor to the Deck. “Does this run” becomes more confusing.
I mean, you’re not everyone. I like my Deck, but emulation is generally too janky, unwieldy, and exposes bad old game design for me.
Heck, I bought mine after all the death bells, and still enjoyed all the old exclusives plus the new indie titles coming out.
The only reason I’m considering a PSVR2 right now is the option to connect it to PC. But it’s apparently not the best experience, and needs a dedicated adapter.
This sounds cool. They could maybe come up with a new snazzy name to differentiate it from the large home console.
Something to evoke going out and living life, rather than sitting at home in the dark. PS Vitality? Or, they could shorten it.
The PlayStation Lity!
Not going to cite the source, since it spoils part of this game, and it’s currently popular.
I have something to say. So shut the fuck up and listen. I spent thirteen years half-cut up to my eyeballs. Drunk, to put it mildly. Then suddenly I saw it, a streetlight shining in my face. 500 Gigawatts of the power of God. A vision of my bloated body found in some ditch. Scared me straight. So I got a collar shirt, mortgage and a credit card. All the things that make me a good man. I hoped I could raise my children to be better than their old man. I wanted to believe I was never one setback away from my worst self. But the truth is. Discipline. Drive. Routine. The endless fucking desperation to get shit done. A loving wife? Great kids? Sobriety? I’m telling you. You. Accomplishments I’ve been chasing my whole life. Never felt as good as I expected when I crossed the finish line… So now that we’re at the end. Takin’ inventory. Those nights spinning out of my head, sinking into the sofa. Broken glass in my palms. Bleeding dry the funniest thing ever. Old dogs laughing and snarling on a waterbed floor, mocking the moon for daring to show its face. All nausea and wreckage and vomit and ugly cruelty. The only problem in the world an empty bottle. Those were the best days of my life. Yeah… Those were the best days of my life. I got nothing to hide. Ready to face the music. I can see myself for what I am. But you, a cowardly, selfish motherfucker and you can’t even see it… I should’ve been able to protect the kid. If I could have done one thing right, I wish it had been to give him one small chance off this goddamned rock.
Valve is already under fire for Nazi content in fringe parts of Steam Community (warranted or not); I don’t think they want to tackle responsibility of moderating another large social network.
There was a CSI episode with a situation similar to this. Of course, since it’s CSI, the way that turned out was the mentally ill person was killed (and the episode was about the passengers/crew subtly covering for each other).
Nice case of how in real life, people avoid harm when possible, and in fiction, people are all secretly ruthless savages out for each other’s blood.
Oh; I should say, in fiction, and for police, who similarly live in fiction-land.
This may have been my thought.
I was never so deeply in favor of the acquisition, but I did find the focus on exclusives hypocritical. Microsoft had already made many of their games available cross platform, while Sony had not at the time.
It could be in this very room! It could be NBA 2024! It could be Red Dead Redemption 2! It could even be-
