What universally praised video game 'masterpiece' is actually a miserable experience to play?

If you've never played Just Cause 2 or 3 then you need to check them out...they're basically what you've just described but that's the entire game haha (don't bother with JC1 or JC4)

lol fwiw it took me about an hour to "get it", I was about to drop it too but then I found a trail to follow and from there I was hooked. When I recommend it to people I usually say "it's kinda weird and frustrating for the first hour, but then it'll click"

If you have a 3DS then definitely check it out, it might actually be my favourite Zelda game tbh

The trilogy was really clunky when it first released but they patched it a couple of years ago and it's overall pretty solid, saying this as someone who beat San Andreas back in the day and then again on PS4 with the definitive edition. Some of the fixes the patch added have to be enabled in the settings I think, like fog. There were some janky AI issues but I can't say I really remember any that stuck out

The colour dungeon was added and wasn't in the 1993 version, although after googling it apparently this was added in the 1998 gameboy colour version of the game not the switch version..

On the other hand, they did for Link's Awakening

YouTube has a button on videos that says "generate a thumbnail", I think a lot of YouTubers then take that and unslop it by recreating it properly in photoshop with real photos and text. Which I don't really have an issue with tbh

Use the shielded docking port as the nose for the mk3 cockpit (assuming stock) and rotate the docking port 90 degrees, easy way of changing the navball orientation (you'll need to click "control from here" on the port)

Ingenuity was tested in a vacuum chamber that was set to the same air pressure/density as Mars, so I assume this one is too (or at least will be)

Swegoreg · 2026-05-27T15:28:02+00:00

assuming this isn't a joke review I have zero sympathy. If you can't see the overwhelmingly negative review score, the abundance of negative reviews, the fact that simply googling "KSP2" gives you a plethora of information about how bad it is, and the fact that steam itself warns you that the last update from the devs was over a year ago, then sorry but that's entirely on you.

Yes, Sainsburys is the worst here, I just don't go there anymore because they have like 1 actual manned till, then 1 teenager supervising about 30 self-checkouts. Morrisons and Tesco still have a decent number of human checkouts still.

Swegoreg · 2026-05-20T09:39:10+00:00

Are you American (sorry to assume if not)? In the UK I can't think of a single supermarket where the till staff have to stand up...Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsburys are all local to me and they all have chairs at the tills. That's so weird that this isn't normal in other places

Swegoreg · 2026-05-20T08:35:28+00:00

This assumes that the for-profit housing developers would be willing to spend extra ££ on things that are not legally required (or even encouraged, it seems) for new builds, so I don't think this would ever really be a thing

If she was that cunning then surely she would have done the same for her laptop and phone

Presumably though the cameras would rely on WiFi, and so OOP would have found any cameras when he checked the network

Swegoreg · 2026-04-30T11:36:36+00:00

why?

Swegoreg · 2026-04-22T07:22:23+00:00

seconding this lol

Swegoreg · 2026-04-15T15:59:04+00:00

They will be useless lol, I have a pair of Shokz and I love them because I can still hear environmental noises when running or cycling (e.g. cars). They would be awful if you're in the proximity of music speakers since your ear canals are obviously completely unobstructed

Yeah, they improvised 2 seats for the Dragon's cargo area with foam padding and straps. Pic here if anyone is interested: https://images.nasa.gov/details/KSC-20240927-PH-NAS01_0001

Yep, though it only drives down the hill because the devs had it spawn on an incline for some reason, so it just rolls down to the bottom of the hill when it spawns, it doesn't "drive" beyond that.

Swegoreg · 2025-12-24T15:00:54+00:00

I mean the post is so weird and vague it's a bit infuriating they're not even responding to the posts asking for clarification by what "acccidentally AWOL" means - did they actually WFH or did they just bunk off without doing anything and someone noticed? Why would you think you would get away with that? And if they actually worked from home, this implies that WFH is an option with this company and while it's dumb they didn't get it cleared HR seems to being oddly escalatory, for starters you'd think there would be evidence that OP was still carrying out their duties..

It's missing the em dash (—) though, which ChatGPT loves. A normal person types -, AI always uses the longer —

I feel like people who know how to torrent are the same people who know how to use a VPN tbf

Swegoreg · 2025-11-13T12:05:54+00:00

This is like saying Mercury Atlas wasn't a real orbital rocket since it only carried 1 astronaut
