Telltale games were just like that. Its episodes in that each section has an arc and usually a cliffhanger of an ending.

Its part marketing and part way to keep everyone interested and feeling like they get the story at the same time. Its meant to feel like TV where you had control of the story to some degree but it continues forward no matter what.

Except for Red/Rooibos tea which is a Fabaceae legume like soybeans, peanuts, and liquorice.

Wow, fits perfectly.

Redundant piecharts that eclipse each other. Nailed it.

Another lazy developed game that relies on the end user having extremely overpriced and over designed hardware to do the heavy lifting to make it run. If it doesnt work blame the users for not optimizing their hardware as you can see in their steam review responses.

Also lazy RNG guns are not fun or balanced. Wild that a blue can be better than an orange gun just cause RNG rolled better.
And enemies that dont stand out cause they 4k textured cell shaded enemies in natural colors?

And lets not even get into the fact that they stole all the parts of this game from other big games. (Where have i seen a villian putting a brain implant into our main character, and then the ship crashing for us to figure out how to get it out while stumbling on a small outpost in struggle?) stuff I’d probably forgive if it ran and didnt look like it was trying to be everything and nothing.

Pacific drive, is it like a roguelike and a collectathon game rolled into one?

I keep trying to figure out if its for me and it seems not quite a horror game and not quite linear or open world. It seems sorta like a game that never ends with little upgrades until you run out and i might be wrong.

You can turn off the scan, which by the way is that it takes a screenshot every so often and checks if it matches known content so as to make you watch through their platform. Really recommend changing that setting.

Secondly, block *.logs.roku.com with a pihole was my solution. That TV is the single most banned traffic on my network still.

“mildly”

Yeah thats why it feels so visceral. Just mild.

Microsoft edge. Or Brave. Or chrome on android. Regular pihole.

Every video i click on basically. If i use a front end like newpipe or duckplayer it works but no other way to watch any videos without logging in.

I dont know if anyone has noticed but…
Can we no longer watch youtube without being logged in? Every embedded video i see doesnt work. Every time i try to click on a video it tells me to sign in.
If i have an ad block running it basically blocks the website.

I really think its the auto plays and the untracked accounts.

Youtube would rather be able to track every user and make more profit per person than go big tent all audiences.

Man i thought i would be excited for Cronos but the more i have seen of it the less i want it. The game looks lazy in so many ways. Lazy burning mechanics, gunplay seems lackluster and not as good as older games. And bloopers writing is best when someone else did it.

People will tell you that we have higher graphical needs but its just mostly lighting which is not even that good and done for laziness as well as set lighting has more intent behind it than just computer decided ray tracing.

There are so many games we can play 1080p 60fps. If it doesnt work on reasonable real world hardware we should just be refunding and moving on.

Oh, you havent seen the videos where someone literally includes random other videos on the screen at the same time cause they got bored editing?

Do they enjoy it? Probably not but hey they got bored.

You know whats infuriating?

How many cameras there were supposed to be active in this high security prison that for some reason had an outage and left us with only 1 angle that doesnt even actually show the door, entrance, or cell block Epstein was in.

Im laughing at how many games changed their launch window away from silksong and instead are going against BL4.
For some reason people arent seeing competition in Randy.

Im gonna bet it was the Mantises cause that was like the great filter boss fight and ridiculously hard. That wall grab ability negates a lot of developers puzzles so i kind of get making sure you can fight the creatures you will find after.
Im hoping for a bit more fluid fighting.

Name the last metroidvania that was that themed and had good fight mechanics before hollow knight?

Cause axiom verge had been like a 100% clone of metroid and Dust came out in 2012 almost a decade earlier.
Hollow Knight was for a lot of people their first Metroidvania that tried to create its own thing and stuck to openworld of metroidvanias while letting you use different mechanics to move forward to bot make it linear.

Its beloved cause its honestly a rare game type.

People love an easy answer to excuse why they can treat someone else with less care or not listen to them as if they are already wrong. We love the little lies that make life easier. Its far less effort needed than trying to understand.

Yes.

The rich used to take the same transport as the rest of us. They could be in a separate car on the train but they were still attached. Then they got automobiles and could drive on their own and we built highways to connect their favorite places. But can only get so far and planes were invented. Now they are stuck with the poors again but up in first class.

Now they have private jets and all the roads full of the regular people, the trains and the planes. They remote in or call in from their cellphone instead of being in the actual office.

The wealthy dont live like the rest of us anymore. And their social group is much more carefully curated to not let us in. They dont want to know regular people.

Yeah, we find a way around or say fuck it cause its not worth the interaction with a company so messed up.

Life is a lot of making the best options you can based in your morals and hopefully someone gave you some good ones.

Ha ha. I got your mass produced shit and i didnt pay for it, and then shared it with people so they dont waste their money.

And

Oh hey wanna buy that bluray for Toxic Avenger cause its a great movie?

Are 2 thoughts im completely fine with holding in my head.
