Hard agree for that entire scene from Disco Elysium, that, the spoiler at the end that helps you to find the scope, and the payphone.

Basically everything in Disco Elysium, there were so many moments that made my jaw drop.

The first ‘ending’ to Void Stranger.

Horizon Zero Dawn had some jaw dropping moments of storytelling.

I love an open world game that is done well - Horizon: Zero Dawn, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. But so often it is just done because thats what they think is the hot thing, and it does not work

Most will listen to songs a great many times, and movies get rewatched too, books reread. I get where you’re coming from though.

I would agree, yeah. Thankfully you have folks like GOG doing work to preserve older titles

Hard to argue with that. Garçon, I am ready for my next short form video!

I don’t entirely disagree with you but, does every medium not have to compete with a growing backlog of classics?

Yeah, so you end up with a fraction of a fraction of the work time going to actually doing the block chain transaction, and the vast majority going into the artificial difficulty

I always thought it would be ideal to do this to create a powerful distributed computing network that can both serve to process the transactions made with the coin and also to do something useful, like folding@home or seti@home or whatever. But apparently nope, GPU crossword puzzles that do nothing but use electricity to make heat (and, as a fraction of a fraction of the work, process a blockchain transaction) are the best they could think of.

There is not useful work being done. They may as well be crossword puzzles. Some coins do use the work to do useful things, but bitcoin does it as a way of “proving your work” to earn coin.

You dropped this \

And like, I understand the use of emojis in general, I’m no boomer, just using them in this way is so weird. Like this usage of emojis feels boomery.

Its like the difference between

My iphone died mid conversation 🫠

And

My iphone 🍎📱 died mid conversation

The latter fills me with rage, the former feels reasonable

Am I the only one who is physically repulsed by this use of emojis?

I wanted to love La-Mulana a lot. And I do love it for building some of the foundation that some huge greats like Fez and Tunic and Outer Wilds stand upon. But holy shit, the game doesn’t want you to love it. The combat and movement are so punishing in an entirely unfun way. I stopped playing after getting what I understand to be like 70-80% of the way through the content the game has to offer and by the last ~20% of that I was dreading playing.

It is a game I have to thank for making way for the existence of some of my favourite games, but I hate it nonetheless.

I’ve been digging fucking deep with disco elysium this long weekend, started fresh after having dipped my toes in a tiny bit some years ago. 20 hours logged this weekend with more to come today.

The writing, worldbuilding, and atmosphere are actually just obnoxiously good.

Unreal that AI is so ubiquitous apparently in programming, that I as a non-AI-user had to come to the comments to understand wtf this meant

In fairness the collar compliments my skirt quite well

Yeah I hate it when companies checks notes hire furries and femboys because dei

How are you supposed to program without programming socks?

Full Celeste is a fucking joy. With experience in kaizo hacks and such you’ll adore the b/c sides and farewell. Maddie is a Mario romhacker, after all

I played the pico-8 version for the first time after the full game including all the B/C sides and farewell, so it took around 100 deaths, but thats with a significant amount of experience for the type of platforming Celeste offers and the type of level design Maddie and co tend toward.
