Seeking recommendations for "addictive" steam deck compatible games so I forget I'm on a plane for 13 hours.
I'm not too upset that I missed out on Ghibli museum tickets, they're quite hard to get... But I'm very fucking frustrated that I set my alarm for 24h too late and basically never had a chance. "I probably wouldn't have gotten any anyway" vs "man, I'm dumb"
It's Thanksgiving weekend and if you can you should donate to charity. I gave to my local food bank, Nature Conservancy Canada, and Wikipedia.
Had a nightmare that my wife booked a trip to the North Pole by boat that inexplicably set sail from Ann Arbor MI on some extremely choppy waters and I forgot to pack literally anything. Walking on the little boat with just like, keys phone wallet. What could it mean lol
Posting Twitter screenshots of "bad stuff" feels like that joke about the dude with a piece of dog shit in his hand like "look what I almost stepped in!"
Throwing in the towel on animal well, I just don't think I have the platforming chops for it I guess.
They Lindsay Ellis cruise video really annoyed me. Cruises are not without criticism but taking 7 cruises and acting like you're in hell is pretty gross lol. Let alone that they were all tax write-offs. I normally like her stuff too.
The simple answer to iced coffee interview discourse is, bullshit or not, your interviewer may not like you showing up with a drink in hand. They won't be upset if you DON'T have a coffee with you, lol. Right or wrong I'd save the coffee for a post interview treat tbh.
One weird thing about Internet pessimism/the end of the world/the Omnicrisis etc etc etc. This all consuming and broadly accepted idea that things are bad and only gonna get worse .. Is this really how people want to spend what's left of "the good times"? Arguing on bsky? Lol
The stickiness of Spotify is baffling to me. People seem to think that the platform and its owners are bad but are unwilling to spend an hour to move to a different service Idk 🤷♂️
I think Wolverine would be less of a disappointment if your favorite studio put out more than one game per generation lol
Every post complaining about gas prices should include the l/100km of the car they drive and when they bought it lol
Finished up Sea of Stars. Delightful game. If you like stuff like Super Mario RPG or Chrono Trigger, this is worth a shot.
I think everyone was worried their city could be next on 9/11. But my sister and I were utterly convinced that our little town of like 8000 people in Canada was SURELY the next target. Twin Towers Pentagon The Shell refinery in Corunna What else could possibly have been target number #3?
Dude at work spent ten weeks on a three day task and they're not really doing anything about it because he was working, he was just doing a bunch of dumb shit really badly so it's ok? Like that's better than just fucking off hahaha
Rolled credits on Big Walk. An astounding game that asks you to play it on its terms and rewards you for doing so. Everything feels so considered. Worth your time. Also it took us what felt like 5 hours to push 4 buttons because people were using opposite but competing signals
Interesting experience with Big Walk, pretty soon after starting you get access to change how everyone looks. My playgroup opted for solid colours, since the mix of colours was hard to distinguish. Then we had a new player join the group, but never painted them solid.
It's kind of insulting to see an AI slop ad. The really obvious stuff. "We think you'll be persuaded by this" Really? 😕
The megaphone in Big Walk might be an all time pickup in a video game. "HELLO!!!!!!!" *radio crackle* "I don't know how but I just heard Craig??" Incredible
We need to regulate the word cozy in the way we regulate the difference between fruit (juice/drink/cocktail/beverage). If your cafe has concrete floors and only hard surfaces and no padded chairs... it ain't cozy.
Played a ten hour game of Twilight Imperium today. Probably done socializing for the weekend at this rate.
Big Walk is deceptively complex. Instead of really heavy handed systems and menus, it's all through very organic interactions with the game world.
