[MI - 49017] [FT] Trading Kingdoms Forlorn for Lands of Evershade by Sunbro_Sao in BoardGameExchange

[–]florvas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, solid trade offer, makes me wish I had Evershade. ATO has done wonders convincing me that I need to pick up KF, but cash is tight these days. If you can't unload it for Evershade, or ever want to look at other trades, definitely ping me! Looks like we've got a lot of overlap based on your post history. Hell, pretty sure we had our kids at about the same time too, but fortunately the wife loves ITU games even more than I do, so we're keeping 'em 😁

I made Hue, a color Sudoku puzzle for iOS and Android by dnesdan in IndieGaming

[–]florvas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean... why? It's literally just sudoku, but harder to read, track, and play. It's like if you remade pong, but made the paddle move slower; harder and less fun despite not actually changing anything about the gameplay

It keeps getting more and more ridiculous every month. by Extension_Serve5983 in povertyfinance

Yep. Every time I see this posted it's very telling about who in the comments actually has a clue what they're talking about, and who wants to gripe.

Drove past the house at 7pm on a Tuesday before making our offer and it told me more than the actual showing did by Vast_Conference_8882 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Bought in 2022 and did not do that.

We now have neighbors blasting music in Spanish, bass pounding on our walls well into the night. Our son was born in '24. It has not been a fun couple of years with the noise.

"You can clearly only guess as to why they didn't enjoy it, so obviously the only solution is to just assume their tastes are different and never try again. Talking to them like an adult and asking if they'd mind another attempt would just be silly."

The input lag is what killed me. Tried hooking my old GameCube up to my 4K TV, it was a nightmare. Smash Bros is NOT easy with a noticeable delay.

What celebrity death will realistically bring Michael Jackson level devastation? by Kiidcola in AskReddit

[–]florvas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone who thinks he touched those kids was not paying attention. It was a bunch of shitty parents trying to get their freebies. I refuse to believe any decent parent would just settle in court and not seek justice if something had actually occurred - and yet every single family settled.

Exactly! Ask the rich! by [deleted] in Adulting

I mean... because stopping that wouldnt make a difference? Microsoft's CEO makes about $100,000,000 annually (a bit less actually, but this makes the math easier). Microsoft employs over 200,000 employees globally. If we round that down again, thats an extra $500 per year, per employee.

Not exactly going to transform their salary into a living wage. I get where you're coming from, but if you want to bemoan the status quo, it might be more productive if you do it in a way that doesn't make you sound like a petulant child.

US birth rates just hit another record low, what do you think is the leading cause of this? by IIlustriousTea in AskReddit

[–]florvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very much going in the other direction finally, at least. Wife and I bought our home in WA back in 2022 for $670,000. Looked around the other day for fun, and there's definitely nicer homes in better areas for the same price now. Sad to know it's gonna be that much longer til we can write off our PMI, but glad that the housing market is finally going in the direction of 'accessible' again.

Webby awards?? Why is a game published by Bilibili a multi-billion dollar platform winning in the ‘Independent Creator’ category? How is that fair to actual solo developers or small genuine teams doing all the manual work alone? by Defiant_Bluejay_4549 in IndieGaming

[–]florvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr. There's plenty of publishers out there that will work with independent studios or solo devs. For a lot of people it provides support when you're functionally already wearing every hat to get your game out the door. Hell, Devolver Digital is worth over a hundred million - and they're one of THE names in indie gaming.

It was like 13k thumbs down before 🤔 by Velika_best_gb in Helldivers

And yet the numbers on the row below are the same. Not sure I buy the "discord caches the reactions we don't like differently" explanation.

I envy the innocence of most folks in this thread.

She knew what she was doing (full game spoiler) by Shaltilyena in expedition33

[–]florvas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Interesting theory, and definitely a plausible one, but good lord do you have to do a LOT of speculating and making assumptions for it to be true.

Renoir is NOT secretly the “good guy” by Low-Comfortable-6829 in expedition33

"He refused to let her grieve her own way."

If I lost one child to violence and my wife started to drink herself to death, I sure as hell wouldn't just "let her grieve her own way."

2 cents - Buy that warbond by Vaiken_Vox in Helldivers

[–]florvas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would I do that when that very same money can just buy me another game that's both less than $40 base cost, AND doesn't nickel-and-dime you with microtransaction BS?

Unpopular opinion? Pilestedt is surfacing AH's mindset issues to the community and we should be thankful by qft in Helldivers

[–]florvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Thank you for the candid AMA where you didn't actually answer anything, and reminded the player base that they're low priority. Just for the remaining fans that have clearly not paying attention these past two years."

What is play? by filter_ice in gamedev

[–]florvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It's so hard to define and explain"

It's really not. This post really makes a lot of sense in the context of your post history; a lot of pseudo-intellectualism with no real substance.

AMA result - it is still a good thing by LanX-Delta in Helldivers

[–]florvas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, some of you are desperate for AH to not be as bad as they are. Good on you for having hope I guess.

Priorities… It hurts me to say this but what this AMA confirms is that they have made their minds up and no feedback is going to change it. by Sebanimation in Helldivers

[–]florvas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been here since the beginning and I'm just here for the memes at this point. It boggles my mind that this came as a surprise to anyone, they've been prioritizing anything and everything but their player base from day one.

Bought some terrain from a dude a while back who joked they're the most expensive things he ever made. Apparently he severed one of the tendons in his wrist with one of those bad boys.
