I deliver pIzza and all of our in-store routing software is tied to Google. It’s a good GPS but it gets so much wrong. During rushes it’s the job of the managers to route us on doubles or triples and I’ve gotten routed on badly-chosen doubles (i.e. 3 miles from each other) because Google thought the addresses were right next to each other. Sometimes it’s a customer issue, like a typo on the website but most of the time it’s Google being dumb.

There are a couple websites that display all of the US road signs approved by the federal government. Some cool stuff on there. Wikipedia does it too but I like the organization of the websites.

In Return of the Obra Dinn you play an insurance claims investigator. You can magically view the moment of somebody’s death and hear the audio prior to it to aid in your investigation of a ghost ship.

I remember after I got a 3DS I went to GameStop to trade in my DSi and they offered me $5 or a gift card.

A Wii. I’m not super big into emulating it but I have a few games on dolphin. It’s just the console I remember having the most fun with as a kid and I wanna experience that again. Every time I walk into a video game store the shelves are lined with Wii games so it shouldn’t be hard to get into it compared to other older consoles like a GameCube or something

It’s not quite similar but you might like to gain inspiration from Else heart.break() on steam

As a hobby I make maps for a game mode in csgo called “KZ.” In short, it’s a parkour type time trial mode. You go from the start to the end and see how fast you can go. Some maps are so hard that theyre more about who can finish rather than how fast you go, but I digress.

I got into a lengthy and heated argument about how not all maps need to be about forcing the player to move and think fast to be fun. So I went and made a map that caps your speed at 180 units/second. Normal speed is 250. Lots of people had fun playing that map and a lot of people told me it was my best work. Go figure. Took me probably 6 months to make it, but I am a slow mapper so it might have taken another person 2 or 3 months.

Blazing saddles is a 7.7 but man that feels a bit too low even

To chime in, I think a lot of this kind of discourse is just based on what you’re looking for in a game.

In American Truck Simulator, one of the DLC’s is the state of Wyoming, which is remarkably barren. It’s the least populous state in the whole country, and many of it’s “biggest cities” don’t even top out over 100,000 people. If you look at the reviews for it, it’s actually somewhat divisive. A lot of people criticize it for being “boring,” but that’s also how Wyoming is in real life, having driven across the state partially myself. I think a lot of this has to do what people come into the game expecting. Some want to enjoy the game as a truck simulator and Wyoming offers plenty of space for that. Some also want to enjoy the game via other formats, such as the scenery, and Wyoming doesn’t excel that much in those areas.

My point being, I think it’s just hard to make claims about this thing because it’s all just subjectivity. I think if you make a black-and-white claim about this then you just aren’t thinking very rationally. Some people will like it and some people won’t. Such is life.

Did they pay you to write this? Are you forcing yourself to enjoy the game because you paid so much?

Or am I insane?

Please for the love of god can we not turn beehaw (and lemmy as a whole) into YET ANOTHER space where people enjoying a game to whatever degree they please is somehow truly impossible to believe that you question your sanity??? Just learn how to have a conversation for crying out loud!

Steam off topic pre-2013 was a gold mine.

Not surprising to see them get complaints about this tbh. They went for “borderline horror game” with how much of a miserable wasteland Fallout 3 was and got blasted for it.

They’re not saying a Bethesda game is supposed to be bad. They’re saying a Bethesda game is supposed to be… a first/third person western RPG with exploration and looter-sometimes-shooter elements and a heavy emphasis on skill checks. That’s been every one of their games since Morrowind besides FO76. Expecting different at this point would be asinine, especially considering Todd and Bethesda repeatedly said this was an RPG.

I’m in college now and I haven’t taken a single course where 70% wasn’t the bare minimum for passing. I even took a comp sci course and it was the very first year that department lowered the passing grade from 80% to 70%. Apparently for the past 30 years of the comp sci department’s existance, a B- was barely passing.

I think I know some friends whose majors have 60% as the passing grade, but my major is a science and it’s all been 70%.

incredibly based

weird i have an adblocker and it didnt ask me to disable

It’s similar with movies and TV. I think a lot of people see a 50% rottentomatoes or a 5.0/10 on IMDB and automatically assume it’ll be unenjoyable, but that isn’t always the case in reality.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to posting the personal phone number of a Twitch streamer because I found out that she has a boyfriend in real life.

this made me lol

I just tried 2003 on emulator and I really tried to like it. You’re right, it’s really funny. But oh my god these controls are ATROCIOUS! I get it was 2003 and gamecube controllers were already wacky, but I really wanna punch the guy in the face who decided that to throw an out to a base you need to press TWO BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME.
