he also cheats in single player puzzle games

of course there is no way to definitely prove that, which was probably an intentional tactic, but certain puzzles he “solved” in “hours” took a whole community weeks to figure out (brute force was the only way) and there’s no way he’s just happened to guess the right answer

oh thank goodness. An image of students typing their notes with the on screen keyboard flashed in my mind and i was scared

please tell me they have those little external keyboards which would make them basically a shitty laptop

Outer Wilds is best started on rainy evenings around late summer, it took me a couple of tries to get into it as well, i bounced off at least 2 times. but the 3rd time it grabbed me and now it’s my all time favourite game.

basically, don’t stress it :) it’s a brilliant game and honestly after you finish it one day you’ll long for the time when it was still ahead of you as you can only play it once for the first time

schizo affective disorders ≠ disassociative identity disorders (previously known as multiple personality disorder)

absolutely!

it’s of course a very different game from the other two but brilliant nonetheless

i dislike turn based combat, i dislike jrpg, but Expedition 33? i adore. the world building, the story, the voice acting- are absolutely incredible. It’s one of those lightnings in a bottle that suddenly appear out of seemingly nowhere

the generation of kids that went to watch it has grown up into adult nerds, and we just needed some time to go out there and gather more data to realise that those films are very well made and a staple in the genre

is gemini on all androids? i remember there once was something called bixby, now when i accidentally hold the home button for too long it tells me to enable “circle”. i’ve disabled all of those “smart” features but fuck knows what is going to get automatically installed in an update next week

i mean, yeah?

the cookies you accept, the addons you have, hell, even the size of your monitor when you maximalise the window is a part of your browser fingerprint

anyone who’s ever downloaded the Tor browser will know it. that browser screams at you if you try to maximalise or install addons exactly because of that

ohhh because the player is behind the fourth wall, as opposed to following a character’s back that still allows for immersion

hmm, i do wonder which causes which. Depression makes you prone to addictions as you seek anything to give you the happy chemicals. But constant social media exposure is rather harmful when you just take it all in, and that can cause depression Especially if you don’t block keywords for war coverages and politics.

i stand firm in my opinion that human brains are straight up not designed to take in a constant stream of bad news from around the world, which sucks because we are designed to focus on negatives for our survival. Memories of accidents and deaths take priority over nice memories so that we can avoid dangers better. from evolution’s point of view you being happy is an afterthought, you just need to live long enough to fuck. and across history it worked! we never had to distinguish between dangers nearby and dangers so far away it literally does not matter for you, as all news were brought by foot or with an otherwise huge time delay - they were either nearby or already history, and only one or two at a time. well, never… until today, and our neuroplasticity doesn’t seem to be enough to counter this, and evolution doesn’t work fast enough to fix this

Could also be a vicious cycle where if you trip and fall once both will create a negative synergy where you try to drown your sorrows in addictive doomscrolling, which only makes you worse

hah same, it was the first thing i did after getting some emulators. and yeah the emulation gives some lag that’s normally not noticable, but in rhythm games that require perfect timing it can make the whole experience miserable

you can skip a bar without loosing fever :) take things one at a time!

patapon 1 & 2 replay is releasing on steam soon as well! in case you didn’t know

oh heck yeah! as a patapon fan i finished the demo and i absolutely adore it! it feels like the natural evolution of patapon, we skipped a few games that’d make the transition smoother but the soul is there

yeah same, but if all you use it for is to scan the room to find your glasses then it works quite well!

huh! our bodies are so weird

maybe not in the case of swimming but when you have your phone around you can always turn on your camera and then look at what it’s showing you

just tried it and it work?? how
