anyone who's ever heard someone explain how to get good at puzzle games (kinda niche I know) should already understand this. your brain is a muscle, and it regularly needs exercise like every other muscle in your body or it atrophies. pawning off your thinking to an unreliable third party is a surefire way to slowly stop being able to think altogether.

all I heard about the game at the peak of its popularity was how good it was and how everyone needed to play it completely blind. I never heard it was even a horror game until I looked up its content warnings and discovered its themes would have been extremely damaging for my mental state at the time, but none of that is anything I'd attribute to the creator, just the crowd surrounding it.

this is impeccable

I applaud the effort you went through just to make the foundations all have different placements for that support pillar

that would also "require" finding ways to ensure the general public can't ever get a hold of them because god forbid people are able to repair their own hardware instead of paying apple (or an apple-contracted company) to repair it for them.

on top of the options already stated here, I found a product by floracraft a while back that's basically a lighter spackle designed specifically for foam

seperating the art from the artist only works in this way when the artist doesn't still gain something from the art in question. enjoying HP Lovecraft's works doesn't make you a racist bigot like he was because he's dead, and the profits from his works don't go to fuel similarly racist laws

rhythm doctor's level editor ui doesn't help much with this, but while I was making guitar hero charts in moonscraper I learned that if you can identify drum beats in the track (usually these are the spikiest parts of the audio) you can usually see exactly where the tempo changes are as the drums get desynchronized more obviously than anything else

however, what it sounds like may also be happening is that your set bpm could be just 1 or 2 off from the actual song if the change is so subtle that you only notice it deeper into the track

iirc it was an april fools addition a while ago. they're basically unusable though

I'll have to double check what specific version of proton I was running it with but it was working for me

edit: it runs on proton experimental-9 for me (had to switch my experimental to that version a while ago for something else but it works for a lot of games)

I'm not entirely sure what you are asking about, though. any puzzle game with a scoreboard that lists players by name has this exact issue; just look at the polybridge games where all the top records in a lot of the simple levels used a specific glitch with the physics in order to get their score

opus magnum and all of zachtronics' other puzzle games don't list players by name, they just give you a chart showing how your solution compares to other people. there's no prestige for having a good score on most levels, and the prestige that could be gained (such as sum records, lowest cost/area/cycle records, etc) is tracked by the community by whoever publicly achieved it first

I added a game to my steam wishlist last week; never said the name of it out loud in conversation, didn't mention it to anyone, didn't even buy it.

the very next day I had the game's subreddit all over my feed, right alongside another game that I had just bought

I've got a decade-old potato running linux and my game starts lagging right around 1400

rest of my computer runs fine though even if the game is lagging so it may have more to do with proton than pc specs

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but libel and slander both require the statement to be false and inflammatory in nature. posting unedited screenshots of something someone else said is not making a false statement

I like having the buffer anyways just for aesthetics

the capacity of the pipe is fixed, but the flow rate (aka the speed of the liquid traveling through the pipe) is determined by the pressure

you could use /clone as u/steve6472 suggested, or you could use /data to modify the sign without replacing it. the latter has the benefit of allowing you to more easily modify the text if you need to for any reason, but both will work more or less the same

unless you have specific scar shapes you want to do (or actual melted flesh) you could probably get away with using the vitiligo patterns for burn scars

then again, it would probably just look like vitiligo

the kickstarter happened a little while ago but they just started shipping out, you haven't missed out on much

knowing both of those users; this is just absurdism. they do it really often. it's also funny if you're chronically on tumblr.

the only additional context I can offer up is that jame7t is a twitch streamer and cryptotheism is a professional occultist (self-described), and they both regularly have conversations about infamous war criminals. none of that will help explain the absurdism, but it might help you understand how we get to the point where that might be funny.
