Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was fun. It did evoke feelings of nostalgia for me, since Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was one of my favorite games back in the late 90s (tied with Resident Evil) and still one of my favorites of all time. I’m personally not a huge fan of the art style and it does lack a bit of polish here and there, but overall good especially at 75% off. Hope you enjoy it.
Doom 2016 was my game for last year and into early this year. For what it’s worth, I enjoyed it quite a bit once I got into it. I tried to start it a few times and that didn’t work out, but then suddenly last winter, it all just clicked.
I had also tried Doom Eternal, and that’s not my thing. Doom 2016 lets you play at your own pace, your own style, and make your own choices on how to play … mostly. Doom Eternal you basically have to play it the way THEY want you to play and use the weapons THEY want you to use and if you don’t then you’re in for an unfun struggle. Doom 2016 isn’t really like that, in my opinion and experience.
From beyond the grave. Muh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
Yeah, it sounds cliche nerd wanna-be, but that was the first show I thought about, too – Firefly.
I don’t doubt the numbers on this scale, but my personal numbers are absolutely not correct, so it does make me wonder how accurate things are.
There’s some long term bug with Steam in the way they compute playtime. About 4 years ago, I purchased a game, played it once for probably less than an hour and never picked it up again. Steam shows I have played that game for almost 3,000 hours.
This year, similar thing happened, but not to the same extreme. There was a game demo I downloaded, played through the first level (which IIRC was all that was available at the time in that demo), and now it’s showing I played that game for over 100 hours. I probably spent 30 minutes with it at most.
Curious what’s going on there or if anybody else has experienced that? Maybe it’s not a widespread thing, but certainly curious that it’s happened to me twice.
There’s literally no way to answer this accurately, completely, and precisely in any reasonable way in a post on Lemmy. So, please take that into consideration as we’re all simplifying the answer down to the point where nothing is actually completely 100% true.
That being said: National debt on this order is basically us taking a loan from future generations so we can waste the money now.
Genuine leather is leather in the same way that an egg taped to a box of Betty Crocker cake mix doused in a cup of oil is a cake.
Stainless steel. Because the common understanding of stainless is not what the stainless in stainless steel means.
Organic foods. Obviously this varies by location, but there are no universally standardized and enforced definitions of what it means to be organic that it comes close to being meaningless. You’d be surprised at what “organic” growers can get away with.
Genuine leather. It’s so misleading it’s pretty easy to argue that it’s essentially a lie.
20% off. When it’s the same cost as it was last month, you just upped the price, then put it on sale, so that in the end it evens out.
Probably Coca-cola and its legal teams have some degree of responsibility for the minimal polar bear association.
It’s all pee, all the way down. Pee. Pee. Pee. We pee when we’re not showering. The water comes from pee. And your dad peed in your mom and then she shat you out. Pee. Pee. Pee.
I’ll be sure to let my father know he doesn’t need his doctors’ help for his cancer, he can just fix himself!
Good to know. I never realized this was a downside to the Xbox controllers. Granted, I haven’t run into the issue so maybe they auto-update if you connect them to a Windows machine?
The Xbox controller isn’t my favorite, but it takes AA batteries so it’s nice to have an option that will work if I forget to charge and which has easily replaceable batteries since that seems to be the main point of failure for so many electronic devices these days.
I had one of the shimmering metalic emerald green species land on my shirt this summer and it was honestly one of the highlights of my year. “THAT FIGURES!” I thought, even the animal kingdom agrees I’m a piece of shit.
'tis the worst AI
Am I missing something? A few penguin references / associations with Christmas, sure I’ve seen that. But, at least in my part of the world, they’re not a major part of the lore – or am I having a moment?
Either way, this can be easily explained: It’s called being inclusive. The last thing you want is a north pole versus south pole world wide Christmas turf war, best to extend an olive branch andlean into that diversity and inclusion metric for the good of the world’s children and the fate of humanity.
It’s poop. So please wash your hands with additional urgency when you’re done wrestling the turd out of its mouth.
It’s wrong, but also, it’s right a surprisingly good amount of the time.
Considering how awful Lemmy users seem to be in general about identifying AI generated content, I’m going to need some references and receipts here before I’m on board.
Hades is definitely right down my alley, even though I’d never played anything quite like it before. It’s one of the games that reignited my enjoyment for gaming, a hobby that I mostly set aside for about 20 years. It’s one of the very few games I can fire up when I have a bit of spare time and even though I’ve played through the levels a hundred times, it’s still so much fun.
I’ve tried to get into Hades 2 and so far it hasn’t captured that same level of enjoyment. I think I prefer the relative simplicity of the original and the fact that it takes much less time to start feeling powerful in the original. Much more rewarding. Of course, my opinion on that might change.
