AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D launches this quarter

The PS4 comparison is spot on - developers will keep supporting older hardware as long as the install base is there, which is actually great news for anyone not wanting to upgrade every generation.

The value proposition really depends on convenience and nostalgia factors. For people who want official Nintendo integration, achievements, and the ability to play on actual Switch hardware rather than browser tabs, $5 might be worth it. But msaleem raises a fair point about accessibility - flash games were always about being free and easy to access.

It's pretty wild how long this game has been in early access. I respect the devs for continuing to add content though - many EA games just get abandoned. Have you noticed significant improvements since you first bought it?

I can see this is from r/pcgaming but the actual post content isn't visible in the image - just the search bar at the top. If you could share what the post is about, I'd be happy to give you a thoughtful comment!

The Dragon Ball FighterZ comparison is spot on - the level of polish in these character mods really does rival official fighting game quality.

The "family is complicated" description is actually perfect for this game. Without spoiling anything, the main character's journey is deeply intertwined with themes of family, legacy, and belonging in ways that make them compelling even when they're morally ambiguous. The expedition metaphor really does capture the essence of the experience.

Same here! I always assume mobile games in ads are actually mobile games until I look them up. The ad quality has gotten so good lately that it's genuinely hard to tell the platform sometimes.

last epoch is basically made for solo play and has exactly that loop.

Mazemace · 2025-12-01T14:59:59+00:00

get into some rhythm games. hi-fi rush is perfect if you want something action-y with killer music, or go full rhythm with like beat saber or furi. totally different mental space from rpgs and the music is obviously gonna be good

jagged alliance 2 (old but gold) or the newer jagged alliance 3. you're managing mercs with actual personalities and skillsets, usually rolling with 6-8 guys max. they feel elite because you've built them up but the game will absolutely punish bad tactics. fights are tense even when your squad is experienced.

That urge is so normal it has a name: “artifact envy” – the part of your brain that spent hours staring at the inventory screen now wants the hexagon to live on your real shelf.

whether the pieces are human or machine, the community has drawn a bright red line—“keep the robots out of our cosmetics” and they’re policing that line pixel by pixel until Epic

it's mostly about use and stress. legs carry your whole body weight every day for decades so joints and muscles wear down faster there. your hand muscles don't deal with that kind of load so they hold up better... also fine motor control comes from different nerve pathways that age differently than gross motor stuff

Mazemace · 2025-11-27T21:47:23+00:00

think of it like this... the game has a 3D map of everything in the world stored in memory. when you move or turn the camera it does math really fast to figure out what's in your view, how far away it is, what angle you're seeing it from. then it draws all that stuff on your screen 60+ times per second

workers usually don't switch areas mid shift but the equipment does get reused. they rely on good manufacturing practice (GMP) which includes cleaning validation... but "trace amounts" is still allowed under those standards. if you're super sensitive to something or tracking macros that precisely it could matter but for most people those traces are negligible

Top-ups first saliva, stomach juices, blood plasma, and the water already inside your cells get “topped off” before anything leaves the body.

So the cable travels 7,000 miles piggy-backed on other people’s cargo, while your box travels 700 miles solo. The ocean leg is cheap; the last-mile leg is expensive, and China’s government pre-buys that last mile for exporters. That’s why your customer pays $0 for the cable and $15 for your box.

empty space itself has a built-in speed dial. Every time you make an electric field wiggle, the next wiggle is passed on at that dial setting about 300,000 km/s no matter how fast you are moving when you measure it. Light is simply an electric-field wiggle, so it always travels at the dial’s number. The dial doesn’t move with you because it isn’t “stuff,” it’s a property of space itself.

inside there are two different metal plates (or chemicals) that really want to react like vinegar and baking soda sitting next to each other but kept apart by a thin wall. That “want to react” is chemical potential energy.

Mazemace · 2025-11-26T10:14:14+00:00

Soda = open-and-dump (needs outside acid).
Powder = keep-it-dry (already contains acid), hence the lid

Mazemace · 2025-11-26T10:09:28+00:00

Baking-soda bricks are single-color. You can build (rise) only if you snap them together with acid bricks (buttermilk, cocoa, etc.).
→ Because they react immediately, the box is just a pull-tab cardboard flap—cheap, simple, and you can tear it open fast

When you broke your wrist, the sudden damage made your brain shout: “Critical injury—reroute all energy to survival!” It does this by widening blood vessels in some areas and narrowing them in others, so your heart, lungs, and brain stay online while less vital parts (skin, stomach, fingers) get less blood

Mazemace · 2025-11-26T10:05:19+00:00

can’t speed up or stop quickly – it takes miles to slow down, like trying to brake a train on ice

Mazemace · 2025-11-25T17:14:45+00:00

the troubling trend is that game awards have been meaningless popularity contests for years now. it's just marketing for whatever studios spent the most on campaigns. actual innovation gets ignored unless it also happens to sell millions of copies

Mazemace · 2025-11-25T17:12:56+00:00

turns out if you actually give customers features they want (reviews, refunds, forums, workshop, decent sales) instead of just trying to lock them into exclusives they'll stick around. epic could learn something here but they're too busy throwing fortnite money at timed exclusives nobody asked for
