Quebec also has a disproportionate amount of successful games for similar circumstances. Video game salaries are pretty well subsidized (although it was originally only meant to encourage Ubisoft to open a studio then other companies joined or got created so they kept it). The current government is threatening that though. That’s on top of socialized healthcare, low electricity cost, and the Canadian Media Fund but those all apply to the rest of Canada as well.
Quick list on top of my head: Indies: Outlast, Dead by Daylight, The Messenger, Spiritfarer, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Fez… AAA: Deus Ex, R6 Siege, For Honor, some of the better Assassin’s Creed and Farcry, Batman Arkham Origins
and the only voting options are maintaining the status quo or making it worse
Oh cool there’s an Android app, that’s gonna make it so much easier to recommend!
Edit: I just read about how it’s centralized and not encrypted, I’m not sure how this can become anything but Discord except open source and less popular. Matrix + Element seems to cover my use case for a project a bit better, I’ll give that a try.
Why would anyone buy a brand new Switch in 2024, just buy a used one
It’s not widespread BECAUSE Microsoft refuses to include it in all their controllers. It’s been a standard in Sony, Nintendo, and even some 3rd party controllers like 8bitdo.
I mean I agree but shouldn’t they have stayed a nonprofit then?
How is that a bad thing
I’m on Jerboa too and tapping the article’s picture opens the website instead of expanding the thumbnail. Not ideal UX.
Classic case of “Socialize the costs, privatize the profits”
Filter by Hot, Active and Top Day are godsends for Lemmy. I understand the lack of blackbox algorithm but zero control over your timeline outside of Chronological and tags kills Mastodon for a lot of people.
Alternatively a Gabe Newell quote: “Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.” Not exactly the same context but it also applies.
Ikea has plenty of options, with either plastic lids or bamboo and silicone (neither of which are microwave safe)
You can still get long-covid symptoms that lasts months (or forever) while boosted, so I really wish people still masked whether they are boosted or not.
The first few times I rode my e-bike I couldn’t stop smiling!
My smile disappears when I meet infrastructure hostile to me though. I don’t own a car so I do weekly groceries by e-bike. Even though there are hundreds of parking spots, there’s a single bike rack that doesn’t fit my wheels and no ramp to get to it so I gotta lift my heavy Rad Runner by hand. 🙄
I bought a generic panier bag on my trip to the Netherlands (it’s huge compared to the overpriced stuff here on Amazon) and it almost doubled the amount of groceries I can carry. Something like that is a must have. I’d also recommend adding a rear view mirror!
Right? It has to be intentional. It seems to happen at launch then whenever there’s an update incoming, the whole OS makes that the top prio and everything else hangs. Outside of that my old laptop runs perfectly fine and the HDD doesn’t seem faulty.
I’m usually way more into short arcadey yet narrative games like Hotline Miami, but based on your list I’d wholeheartedly recommend What Remains of Edith Finch. It’s a bunch of very short story vignettes, so even if you only have 30 minutes you know you’ll complete one.
Night in the Woods might also interest you. I would always play one in-game day (which is about 1 hour each) to relax before going to bed.
Have you tried flavored sparkling water instead? I gradually switched to that and coffee/tea after high school and I can’t stand carbonated drinks anymore!
It’s a good game worth playing, but it fails to avoid pitfalls of AAA games that make you “go there, listen to exposition dump, do generic puzzle, watch cutscene, repeat”. I wouldn’t call it innovative or a breath of fresh air unless you only play realistic story-driven open world AAA games.
The level design is great but the game as a whole was not designed around the fact that you’re a cat. Once you get to B-12 the story only progresses because you somehow understand the robots’ language and can interact with keypads and carry giant items in your magic backpack. I just felt like it was a missed opportunity, it could’ve been a whole game with no text at all, completely driven by environmental storytelling and contextual clues like the first hour is.
I can admire their initiative of funding small games like Poinpy but Netflix backing a AAA studio always seemed like an impossible thing to me, they seem way too risk averse to spend millions into an unproven team and a new IP.
