+1 for Majesty. The combination of fawning over your champions while also absolutely cursing those stupid useless fuckers was fun.

Some of the CW Warnings for What Remains of Edith Finch (spoilers obviously):

Gosh Impossible Creatures was the coolest game as a kid. I wish we’d get a remaster.

Snake Pass - “What does a platformer look like without jump (or a regular walk for that matter)?” It’s really fun and unique.

I can’t imagine the pain of having your sight taken away, getting it partially back, and then having it taken away again purely by corporate greed.

Oh no, CrImInAlS. We’d better make sure only big corps can use this tech and legislate against individual use. /s

You good bro?

Blink three times if you need help.

This looks super neat, and would give me good reason to go down roads I haven’t before.

Pathfinder usually goes alright, but any mention of D&D 5e and all I get is "Ugh D&D 5e is so basic, have you tried ". I’m not judging your TTRPG system taste, don’t judge mine.

The only head canon that makes sense is that Palpatine drained her life force in order to bring Vader back from the dead.

The only head canon that makes sense to me is that Palpatine used Padme’s life force to bring Vader back from the dead.

Because the hour lunch used to count as working, IIRC.

I’m trying to beat Final Fantasy Tactics - I never got past Act 1 as a kid. I’m currently up through Golgarion Execution Grounds. Turns out the secret is to not bomb in all-offense and get nuked into the ground. Who knew?

Yeah, I feel like just flipping the chart would make it make more intuitive sense. I do like the choice of colors at least.

There was literally an article either yesterday or the day before with the headline “AI being used to ban books in Iowa” or something to that effect.

Generally better, but it’s contextual. Someone saying with a surprised tone “It was pretty good” implies that it’s better than good and better than expected, and that the person might not have expected it to be good. Someone saying with a muted or dull “It was good…” would be worse than “pretty good” and implies that it was acceptable but disappointing or mediocre.

Post: Uses the word normies in a positive sense and literally says it’s great that gaming is more accessible

Fediverse: Is this a neckbeard?

It’s amazing that a non-slur single word can get y’all so fucking bent out of shape. It was worth a double take, but not shitting on the entire post. It’s literally a post about a non-traditional gamer / not-power-user / etc person finding a sense of community and fun because of the rise of handhelds. Is shutting down that discussion over one word worth more than seeing the good in recent trends?

I hope we continue to see more good handhelds get made - I’d personally love a Steam Deck, but seeing Valve get some good competition would be good for the technology (not you, Apple / Meta). Maybe I’m just too old, but I’d love to see slide-out keyboards again…

I feel your pain. I’m back doing a solo mechanitor run.

Shapez ruined me on Factorio. It feels like it took Factorio, removed all the weird distractions, and got down to the distilled essence of the genre. Everything else feels unsatisfying now. Send help!

Zoo Tycoon and Everquest!

I tried Project 1999 for Everquest, but the change in culture from 1999 to now is just…a lot. I’d enjoy it again if I could get my friends to play, but I think it’ll be too old school for everyone.
