Not necessarily gaming related, but I remember their early coverage of every new Apple product as somehow more masturbatory than anything MacWorld put out. Then you’ve got their infamous complete mess of a PC build video and everything that followed that. I guess at least they aren’t written by AI yet?
There are a couple floating around out there, CNN/investopedia/Eat This Not That. The most scathing one I saw was from CNN, oddly enough: https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/09/business/consumer-spending-travel-value-nightcap
If you’re on PC and you find you absolutely can’t make progress, consider modding the game. https://outerwildsmods.com/
Just casually scrolling, I saw a few that modify movement and a few cheat mods that go so far as to just allow you to teleport places. Obviously just teleporting around would lessen the surprises the game offers, so I’d recommend that as an actual last resort.
It has an email address for people to send in pictures… I wonder if they did anything with them.
It’s great! I’d put it up there with other weird children’s lit like The Stinky Cheese Man and Strega Nona.
IIRC DreamWorks originally tried adapting the book directly but it didn’t really work so they kept some concepts and redid the entire story. Early designs of movie Shrek looked a lot closer to book Shrek.
One of the Arrowhead community managers said they’re trying to get more information regarding regions, so it kinda seems like they weren’t fully prepared for this/got blindsided by Sony a bit. There should be an FAQ/QA with additional info coming soon.
Wasn’t that almost what happened with Bryan Lunduke? AFAIK, dude took a hard turn to the right after years of decent Linux-related advocacy and then nuked his social media accounts and tried to claim the opposite. Not sure where he’s at now, but it was pretty strange.
The main story is basically Journey with friends and cosmetics. It expands a bit as you complete each area, easing you into more difficult/spookier content, but it never gets too complex.
There’s also a bunch of secret stuff to find and all of the older seasonal stuff that remains after they ended.
Spoilers for sure, but the wiki is helpful: https://sky-children-of-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Sky:_Children_of_the_Light_Wiki
I still love that, for Everything Everywhere, he got Jeff Cohen (Chunk from The Goonies) to help him negotiate and sign his contract.
You can download the game for free in its original form here: https://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/
IIRC there used to be custom tilesets/graphics packs, not sure if they’re still maintained after the game launched on Steam.
This is also probably the real reason they’re taking a harder stance against mods. Within 24 hours, there’s already a mod on Nexus that adds one of the items you can buy with real money to an early vendor for like 1 coin.
There’s also another mod that just makes all items 1 coin, so it shouldn’t be too hard for modders to just completely circumvent the bullshit mtx.
From personal experience, that pharmacist salary is offset by insane pressure from management to meet metrics that keep going up and requiring a fair amount of unpaid overtime put in to keep the queues from overflowing.
Then you’ve got a 50:50 chance of a new tech being insane and or stupid because the good ones have long since burned out. They usually are union, though, so good for them.
There’s a reason pharmacists in the US are starting to drop dead on the job.
Early on, Teams was kinda doing it’s own thing and it wasn’t half bad. Then, Microsoft shut down Skype for Business (formerly Lync) and brought most of that team over with all of their baggage. Feature development for Teams went to absolute hell after that point.
You can also use Voyager on Android! If you squint real hard, you can pretend Apollo finally released on a non-Apple device.
There were people spamming the devs with requests to make the game harder and saying it’s too easy.
I voted for every response that said any additional difficulty changes should be optional, like how palworld/valheim have configurable difficulty.
The last time the Mongolians decided to expand their horizons, it didn’t work out so well for a decent chunk of the rest of the world. I think it’s perfectly fine they choose to keep things simple, tbh.
It seems like people genuinely do not know about the nukes that Israel definitely does not possess wink wink. Kinda changes the dynamic a little bit, I think.
Hold a “So you just lost access to the employee discount” sale on the Microsoft store.
