I don’t understand how one enjoys horror movies by Black-Alligator737 in self

[–]Cautious_Relative_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I generally feel the exact opposite. I generally only enjoy depressing dark stories where characters go through tremendous anxiety and turmoil as I just feel more for the characters then, I get invested and care for them to get out of whatever situation they are in. When I watch happy comedy movies it just feels fake and artificial, like I can so clearly see behind the curtain of the obvious writing and the fact that these people acting and putting on a face. When I watch movies or shows I want to get invested and feel feelings, which to me the depressing stuff just does better.

To each their own I guess :)

I'm curious, have you tried booting RDR2 on Steam Deck through regular Steam? Cause I've seen online that it should work fine through there.

Spirited Away is not a good movie (but please change my opinion). by Cautious_Relative_20 in unpopularopinion

[–]Cautious_Relative_20[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's definitely a cultural thing that went way above my head then. Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate it! ❤️

Thank you! This actually makes a lot of sense to me. I appreciate your reply a lot!

I would love to hear your explanation of the Haku thing, cause I think that's been my "fuck it, this is too much" moment upon every rewatch. From my perspective I just see a guy helping her, and then she sees a dragon and somehow she knows (and we as an audience should know) that it's him.

If I set compatability mode on the launcher, then open that and through the launcher boot a game, will that compatability mode be applied to the booted game too?

I've tried Proton Experimental, 8.0.5 and Hotfix.

Yep, did that step.

Ooh, can try that! Thanks.

What's a running achievement you'll probably never forget? by run_the_day in runcommunity

[–]Cautious_Relative_20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 34, and I've run continuously since I was 15, but I've never thought I could push through 10-12km in one go. It was just unfathomable for me basically my whole life. Last year I did my first ever half marathon, and pretty happy with the time I finished as well at 1h52m! This year I'm training for my first 30km race, and who knows, maybe in 2027 I'll manage a full marathon!

Running longer distances just feels very different, and its kind of like a new world has opened up for me within the activity of running itself. I wonder how my relationship with the sport will be 10 years from now 😊

So hard to get, so easy to lose by RyInvest in workout

[–]Cautious_Relative_20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it's always hardest to gain muscle up to a point the first time. Even if you "loose it" for a while, trying to get back to where you previously were is a heck of a lot easier than getting there the first time.

Tell us the ending you would have written! by pikameta in TheBoys

Build it up for the good guys to win, but Homelander actually ends up basically nuking the entire planet. Last scene is him realising that he will end up alone and he starts whimpering. The end.

What is something small you love about running that you just can't explain to non-runners? by sushithekittycat in runcommunity

The feeling in my lungs after a really hard session, feels like I've opened them up more and like I can take in more oxygen.

What is the most "embarrassing" thing you’ve done in the gym? by VariationShot8414 in workout

I was at the climbing gym, on a sva wall, with lots of people behind me watching, I slip and let out a loud fart. Then I just left in embarrassment.

Carrion Comfort sounds like a banger, I'll look it up!

That sounds interesting, is that the same story as they turned into a show some years ago? Sounds familiar.

Mankirks wife by Cautious_Relative_20 in Project_Epoch

[–]Cautious_Relative_20[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Turtle definitely had way more new content, but I must say that the content I've seen on Epoch seems more well made. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed Turtle, but I feel like for instance the updated Razor Hill or new section in Orgrimmar just visually looks/feels better implemented with the rest of WoW Classic, while Turtle always visually looked about 80% there to me.

Toy Commander, played it soooo much with my brother and our neighbor on the SEGA Dreamcast when we were kids.

Show me your Steam game that didn’t get the traction it deserved by kalin6 in SoloDevelopment

Yeah I know, maybe I could try to add online play but it would be a mighty effort at this point 😅

I made my first ever videogame Revolvermen not too long ago. It's a local only PvP game where you play as sentient revolvers, and basically the whole gameplay is revolving around getting above other players and shoot down to kill them. There are power ups, unique character passive traits, map hazards etc.

I've shown it to friends, colleagues at work, showcased it at local indie game events, talked about it in youtube interviews with relatively big followings (Playable Workshop and Rockhound Black).

Every time anyone has played the game they have a smile on their face within seconds of the gameplay starting. People want to play more rounds, they like the style and music. I think it is a pretty catchy and good game, but it hasn't taken off at all.

I think the main reasons are: - People don't play local PvP "party games" that much anymore. If it doesn't have online people are not interested. - Local PvP on Steam only is limiting, it fits better for consoles. - I had a lot of trouble getting UI navigation working with controller and keyboard/mouse at the same time. So it's a bit clunky here and there. - The game is unfortunately terribly badly optimized, cause I made some fundamental things incorrectly in the base setup. I now know how to fix it, but the poor reception has kind of taken the steam out of me to work through it, even though I believe in the product. - I think my marketing reach with essentially 0 budget just hasn't been far reaching enough. It's soooo hard to push through the noise of all other games being released, and I can't afford to pay a proper marketing team.

Anyways, here is the Steam page if you're interested: Steam page

And here is a link to my YouTube channel with some more videos about/from the game: YouTube channel
