How much do you hate them?

Name a number!

How about if I drop that hatred by 22% with a 2.1% financing? And throw in a free coupon to Chili’s if you verify within the next 45 minutes! Hurry act now we’re running low on coupons. And you don’t want to go home empty handed, do you?

It just came out (on Switch no less) and it’s visually interesting. I didn’t buy it yet. I’ve bookmarked it to see if a future update removes all this.

I don’t think their implementation is the way to go. It reeks of bad UI, like Clippy in Microsoft Word.

Mario games are so accessible without the heavy handed videos/stops, because their designers think about how to best teach the player through play.

It’s like teaching by giving people a hour long lecture vs hands-on experience - there’s usecases for both, but in a interactive medium like gaming, one is superior than the other.

Was just going to point this out too. It’s so stupid.

I’ve also done the math on dental insurance vs out of pocket and a few times, out of pocket was significantly cheaper than the service + insurance.

This is a major one!

Sleeping is a third of your day. There’s a lot of health issues that result from bad sleep/snoring. and the worse is that you’ll never even know it.

My wife had a sleep specialist provide helpful strategies after her pregnancy and her back pain stopped.

Average IGN post.

I agree. If you buy a game brand new, you are telling the publisher that you want this game and support whatever they’re doing with it. All those FIFA/CoD players who buy on day 1 no matter how much garbage micro transactions added? They’ve accepted it with their wallets.

Buying on sale, it says you’re budget friendly while still kinda on board or willing to look away. I say a lot of shit about Ubisoft. But I absolutely buy their games at like $10, DRM toxic sexual harassment company BS and all.

Pirating, it means you don’t give AF. Probably the best solution of you wanna give a company the finger. But also willing to take some danger with you.

Disagreements over the direction of the Interactive division, chaotic departures, communication breakdowns, and a perceived lack of leadership transparency at Annapurna Interactive led to a staff walk-out that has left 25 individuals jobless, Annapurna leaders scrambling, and numerous developers concerned about their contracts with the publisher.

It has to hit a serious breaking point for an entire department to do this.

I’ve been in jobs where the whole dept disconnects and just keeps accepting a paycheck while waiting out the storm. So it must have been really really bad.

I’m currently playing UFO 50, which is a game by Derek Yu and friends. The games are “fake” 1980s NES games. You pick a random game out of the list of 50 and there’s little to no instructions on how to play any of the games.

You just press start and see where it takes you, just like classic games.

There’s a lot of joy in discovery.

If you’re serious, study cyber security to start.

Then move towards devops.

Worse case scenario, you’ll end up in a 6-figure job making complaints into the void as you write bash scripts to speed up a pipeline by 0.1 second.

Best case scenario, you take down a massive criminal ring that sprouts back up like a weed a few days later.

The movie Everything Everywhere All at Once really brought a tear to my eye. It ignored a lot of “safe” conventions and just went all in on making a really good film.

Outside of sports games & racing games, and Death Stranding & Monster energy drinks, what other games have ads?

Not being argumentative. I’m a PC gamer and I’m actually curious if there’s like Pizza Hut ads while playing God Of War on a console or something!

I am bottom Shrek.

You don’t watch a military movie and trash talk movie goers, threaten to bang their mom and then do a teabag motion when someone dies?

My wife, kids and I play video games together by sharing the controller.

We were playing classic SNES games together. Like playing Super Mario World or Super Metroid. My youngest isn’t really good at bosses so he hands it off to his older siblings. Where my wife likes to draw various scenes from the game so we can color them later.

It started during the pandemic but we do it once a month now and it’s been a great family bonding experience.

Having a IRA or 401k.

I’m 40 and the amount of people who kinda know what a IRA is is terrifying. Like, you’re gonna die in poverty.
