Yes. No photos would be better than the ai-slop. Like, they aren’t even relevant to the article, they’re just ‘’ pop-sciencey’. If you’re gonna use ai images, you could at least make them relevant to the topic?

Predominantly environmentalism. Buying vegetables over meat is just radically lower impact. I buy local (or, better, grow it myself) as much as I can can too.

Ethics certainly is a concern, as is health. Though, I have a lot of allergies, which makes it challenging at times. Still, I’m used to not being able to eat a lot of food, to restaurants not having anything I can eat. So I already was cooking most if my food from scratch, so it wasn’t the hardest pivot, even if my diet is objectively quite restricted

When I stopped eating meat, my biggest craving was for cheap frozen chicken nuggets. Which, never was my ‘favorite’ meat meal; that’d be fresh venison steaks (as, I come from a hunting family). But something about how ‘cravable’ nuggets are I guess just hit my lizard brain hard. Went away after about a month though and hasn’t returned

I hear a lot of people say ‘the controls are easy to learn’, and I have to wonder if the game is extra unstable on my system for some reason, of if its otherwise glitching out somehow.

I am a heavy gamer, but something about the way the characters jerk about, snap to one spot or another, lunge randomly, all of which costs chunks of stamina, just feels so bad to me, and I struggle to predict when and why it happens.

I found it to be incredibly janky, to an unfun degree. The climbing seems simple, but the way the characters shutter and lunge, how hard it is to tell of a slope is ‘ground’ or ‘wall’, and other control difficulties ended up making me uninstall.

Wait, for real? I only ever saw the ‘sexual content’ tag, which is annoying to block, as it covers stuff like Baulder’s Gate 3 and such.

I wish Steam didn’t have porn on it

but I double-plus wish that Steam didn’t stop hosting porn only because of payment companies with outsized control over creative expression

I’m not personally interested in eating it. Just not appealing to me (and, I’m deathly allergic to seafood besides, which lab grown fish is still a problem there).

But I’m happy it exists, and hope it is environmentally friendly/cost effective enough to save animals, and improve the environment.

Built in 2006 though, well after morrowind

Liver disease can do this too. Alcoholics will often get this kind of belly. Any other disorder that fills abdomen with fluid can do it too, though I think that’d generally be an emergency situation.

Hm, I actually found the voice acting pretty not great. Some line reads were odd, and the different voices felt like they were recorded on different mics.

I made it to one ending, and really didn’t feel any desire to do another go around.

I know what you mean about ‘perfect’ though, I have my own small list of odd games that, to me, feel like they’re ‘perfect’ in what they’re trying to do.

It’s not that much slower. Our 20a outlets give 2,400w, while yours gove 3000w. And, it’s still faster than a stovetop kettle. Its more that we don’t make hot tea very regularly, while drip coffee was the dominant hot drink for so long.

Or a woman.

Ancient Greece, generally speaking, hated women

Yeah, this is what I do. It’s actually what I’ve done for decades, even before going vegan; I’ve always been allergic to seafood and nuts, so omegas are kinda hard for me to get.

Ground flax is great in a lot of things, morning oatmeal and soups are probably the big ones (though, does make is ‘gooey’, but for soups, does make ot similar to adding flour to thicken).

Whole flax seeds are better in stuff you don’t want ‘thickened’.

Eh, apples to oranges.

A 60$ game today is so unlike a 60$ two or three decades ago.

No physical medium. Much larger market and (potential at least) sales volume.

Proliferation of game engines; games don’t need to ‘reinvent the wheel’ each time, or write machine code anymore.

On top of that, there’s many other revenue streams. Not that I think this model is ‘fair and good’, but look at the mobile market, where a sale cost of $0 is king.

Something to be said about ‘lower cost incentivizing bad practices’ (as the article discusses), and yeah, some games could raise their price. But it’s far fron 1-1, as ‘sales volume’ trumps ‘sale price’ in importance.

I never gave it a chance, as theit practice of paying for exclusivity is infuriating to me.

Make your shit better. Hell, make it comparable, and charge a lower cit (so devs make more), and I’d support then.

Paying to make the market more closed off sucks.

I think controller is only ‘necessary’ for souls games due to them not supporting keyboard and mouse well. I’d prefer to use keyboard for it, but all of the inputs and menu-ing is fucked up.

Tbh, its a testament to how good the games are, that they are enjoyable despite a huge lack of QoL across the board

I’m talking about the stuttering, caused primarily not recalculating shaders. Something I just dealt with the entirety of my first playthrough of ER. But the fact that it still isn’t fixed really makes me not want to play, or to pay them money.

Yeah, I’m holding off for a sale on this one. I liked Elden Ring well enough, but the performance issues are infuriating. Baffling that it still isn’t fixed.

I don’t care for it. It does some interesting things, in base building. But having played it a lot mostly because my friend group likes it, it’s very janky. It does not feel close to 1.0. And, while there’s some fun to be had, everything outside the horde nights just feels like busywork in a way I didn’t feel with Valheim or Grounded.
