the game would have been better if they took the combat out entirely, save for some one-on-one fights. it’s a shame that they’re done with the series, it was finally approaching “playable indy film” territory.

the achievement means they knew, and put the monster closet shit in anyway.

don’t make me tap the sign

pointing out that you’re doing a thing does not qualify as parody of that thing

i think so. i don’t really have a problem with that. as the narrator says in the stanley parable, what kind of story has the main character die halfway through

uncharted is the worst for this because the fights add basically nothing. the games are great humourous adventure serials occasionally broken up by obligatory murderous rampages. after my first playthrough of uncharted 2 it showed that i had done over 200 headshots alone. friend of mine had something like 1500.

yeah but nobody wanted google glass after it was release.

eszett is not appropriate there, no

it was a pun

there are ev crate engines, is that close enough?

it’s doing leftish talking points in a style usually done by people on the right; you agree with it so it must be good.

you dropped this: ʃ

i mean, it is also textually pro-colonialism, while being mainly about pedantry. it’s a “yet you participate in society” sort of sketch. life of brian is like 80% symbolism, 20% biggus dickus.

omg walt you can’t just ask people why they’re blue

i’ve never understood how to do calorie counting. like you could never eat at a restaurant. you’d have to weigh everything unless you only eat pacxaged meals. it seems like a massive change to your life.

most crts i’ve ever used were 75Hz or more

that’s an error in the range of multiple orders of magnitude and you know it

antarctica has militias???

i played and loved all the myst games, including uru live. i was really excited for neyyah, followed development for years. think i’m a third of the way through now, going by achievements.

so far, it feels like what people who don’t like myst think people enjoy about myst. it’s beautiful, densely detalied, and impenetrable . it starts with a five minute lore dump (cut down from fifteen in the demo, the dev was really proud of having “streamlined” the experience), there’s a new made-up word introduced every sentence (don’t worry, you get a glossary), and all the puzzles so far have been “align these in order” or “put the square thing in the square hole”.
puzzles are sort of integrated into the world like in riven, but in a weird haphazard way where there are random screens placed in the world. there are encoded notes everywhere, and they’re unreadable unless you “know the trick”, which you learn fairly quickly and after that they all become plaintext instantly. which is just as well because most of them are just fluff.
there are hints at interesting mechanics but i’ve not gotten there yet, the biggest change so far is getting a briefcase full of balls that activate machines. the balls are one-time use and uniquely coded so once you put the right ball in a machine it stays on and you no longer have that ball. it’s basically a series of fetch quests but you get all the items at once and have to just go around and put them in the right place.

all in all, a strange experience. i’m holding off on final judgement but so far i’m only impressed by the graphics. i’m hoping the story finds its footing soon because my patience with the glossary is starting to wear thin.

i mean, weird filters have been a thing for a while now. i don’t get them, but they were on a phone i bought in like 2014. i could add ar dinosaurs to photos.

it is apparently D-segment, yeah. i have a C-seg car and have found the model 3 to be very similar in size, but maybe that’s just a matter of the height making it look smaller.

“slightly lower” == 2/3rds, apparently. the model 3’s pack is 250Wh/kg. also, 500km range in what? the only way you could fit an equal-range battery in a contemporary compact vehicle like the model 3 would be if it had almost double the density of Li-ion.
