I initially questioned whether something like Monster Hunter World (now that it’s been stripped of Denuvo) would also make sense for whatever they’re doing with it, and then I realized this might be in a convention setting, so maybe better to not run a demo of a game with an hour of setup (character creation + progressing far enough to save and quit)
The way you used italics, I gotta ask, is excommunication coming from the Presbyterians unusual compared to other Christian groups?
Is it already out? Or did the store page update prior to release?
It honestly reminds me of some statistics implying that deaths due to violence may be overrepresented in media perception, while deaths due to cancers and heart problems are seemingly underrepresented in coverage by comparison.
Talos Principle. The VR version of the first game, haven’t gotten around to the second game yet. I love the puzzles (when I don’t struggle with timing running past mines), and it’s hilarious that the philosophical test to make a Milton admin profile showed me how utterly unprepared I am for philosophical debate, and how weirdly contradictory my viewpoints might be. Mind you, the only philosophy class I’ve taken in my life was an ethics class.
TL;DR Talos Principle is amazing so far, even though it makes me want to slink off back to college and sheepishly register for a philosophy class.
Are there any equivalents for BBC Micro or Acorn Electron? I’m tempted to try Elite (the original) on Steam Deck, and while I did once download a copy for free on a previous laptop (when the devs were celebrating an anniversary a few years back), I don’t know if that version is compatible with Deck.
Also, the devs of Factorio have a policy of never putting it on sale and adjusting for inflation sometimes, so if you’re gonna get it, now’s the time.
Ok, so it’s just a taste thing in this particular case, and not some other logistical thing like preservation?
Are… Are you suggesting that there are potential ways a public company system could’ve actually been handled better, rather than the concept itself being flawed by nature?
I’m not saying I disagree, I’m just saying that possibility never occurred to me for some reason. (Maybe it’s my justice sensitivity complex acting up)
Are they talking existing sales, or sales after the announcement? If this is just post-announcement, holy fucking shit
Some days, I question why humanity ever allowed public companies to exist. That very concept seems to be creating a lot of societal drawbacks these days.
And it’s gotten to a point where it’s being used as a utility computer in places, if I recall. That could’ve potentially sent sales snowballing away from typical console sale figures.
65-ish of the Cyberpunk 2077 hours were mine, full disclosure. Edit: or at least on Steam as a whole, any amount of which could’ve been on Deck
Yeah, I might have to delete Twitter just to get away from political ads.
I subscribed to YouTube premium specifically to avoid political adverts while still supporting content creators (political adverts are even more repetitive and uncreative than commercials, in my mind), and I actively avoid any room my parents are in when they’re watching any TV at all during campaign season.
I’ll get my info on how to vote by actually looking up the candidates’ actions on databases, thanks.
Also, we can and do eat some mild poisons because they’re tasty somehow.
I have a love of chocolate, but smaller animals can’t eat as much without severe metabolic issues that might kill them.
And capsaicin is straight-up an anti-mammal deterrent. Birds might be able to eat it with no reaction at all. Meanwhile humans just deal with their temperature receptors being freaking hacked for seemingly no other reason than fun.
At this point, I’m hoping for there to be a spree of unionization.
Maybe a millennium from now we’ll have better means of keeping corporations in check, but in our species’ current and primitive state, unionization might be one of our only options.
Hades II tops the list so hard, it even brought the previous game up with it!
