Finally started Vampire Survivors so that’s all I’m playing ATM

My design was on the front page a few years ago…

My current favourite half-life is Abiotic Factor, to be honest.

Balatro, Nier: Automata, and Automation: Car Tycoon Game.

Just finished Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and need to get back into Baldur’s Gate 3 to finish the last act.

I’ve been playing Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Automation/Beam.ng mostly but I’ve been severely addicted to the free demo for Half Sword. It’s the most brutal, jankiest medieval combat simulator I’ve ever played and it’s as frustrating as it is fun. I can’t stop playing it.

If you liked vampire survivors and retro graphics you might want to check out Halls of Torment. It looks like old school Diablo but it’s a vampire survivors like game.

You should try Halls of Torment for a Diablo-looking rogue-like. I adored it!

Only slightly facetious: Cruelty Squad

I’m pretty sure it does

Just got the popup on FF with Unlock Origin

Yeah, it really goes against my anecdotal experience of clueless Boomers/Gen Z and generally reasonable Gen X/Millenials. That said my colleagues are technically proficient but our salespeople are consistently falling for scams, regardless of their generation.

I stayed at a place last year that had a RokuTV, YouTube was practically unusable on it due to the absurd number of ads that would play. Even more infuriating was that they were often the same ad, repeated.

While I admire your optimism I think that AI will snuff out journalists/writers/artists regardless of the merit of their work. While that is possibly beneficial when looking for some factual data I think we will face a crisis when it comes to creative, investigative and critical content. Like garden hose of original work spraying against a tsunami of undisclosed generative media.

I think you make some valid points about server and network ownership but I think the mid to late 2000s had an interesting blend of corporate and personal internet spaces. Yes there were some leviathans MySpace and Facebook, but a lot of the places that had relevancy were forums, portals or imageboards. Hell, YTMND was an early example of a individual hosting and building a massive site out of complete nonsense. That landscape has certainly changed significantly since.

Mostly BG3 but also finished most of Cruelty Squad, the latter of which was a weird as I hoped.

I appreciated your tone, it was measured and considerate.

Even a lot of CG professional users are locked into NVIDIA due to software using CUDA. It sucks.

Partner is playing Horizon: Zero Dawn and I’m helping with inventory management and tutorial quests.

This post was way to broad and generalized to foster an actual discussion. Many assumptions are also made about interactive storytelling which bely OPs attitude towards an entire form of narrative media.

Yanko design is a name I haven’t seen in quite some time. Some of the dumbest, impractical, and downright impossible concepts have been featured on this blog.

Two memorable examples were the “magnetic” exercise weight set that would have to violate physics in order to function and a refrigerator made of green goo that would somehow preserve food.

Oh and “hubless wheels” anything that rolls needs hubless wheels.

OpenRCT2 is such a blast. Marcel Vos got me into it a few years ago.
