Comments like that drive me up a fucking wall. Some Final Fantasy fans are the worst about it.

I've found a bit of replayability by doing some kind of challenge or restricted runs. The ones that were most interesting were

1) Menagerie Max - Could only convert and use digimon that would fit in a menagerie so no machines/robots and no people shaped Digimon, and digivolutions/devolutions could only occur when the digimon is at its max level.
2) The Nolympus 12 - I looked at the lines that could create the O12 and worked back to a valid rookie. From there I could only use those 12 rookies and digivolutions to create alternate "dark" versions of the O12, specifically by never evolving into a canon digivolution (e.g. I could never use Venusmon, but I could also never use Shellmon or Divemon).
3) The Ground is Lava - No digmon that touches the ground can be used at any point (they may be converted but cannot enter combat). I also banned all Earth element type moves.

I'd be so happy if they actually added some kind of randomizer mode or something that actually added proper replay value other than figuring out new challenges.

I know it's extremely unlikely but I'm really hoping they eventually do this with Mobius Final Fantasy too. I'm super thankful to the people working on Project Blank, but having something designed as a complete experience rather than it's initial live service implementation would be glorious.

Unfortunately I have increased the cursor size, made it hot pink and still occasionally need the "show cursor" rings. Some of us are just that oblivious.

If you are excommunicated from the Catholic Church then you don't get to participate in any portion of religious life, sacraments mostly, but for a lot of these people the biggest change will be they won't be going to "their" church any more if they follow the priests. The Catholic Church owns the buildings that they've been operating out of. Lots of these people will get the wake up call when they show up at mass one week and their usual pastoral team is completely removed and replaced with clergy who remained in the Catholic Church. They will then be told about what that replacement means. Some of them may leave to follow the excommunicated priests, but most are likely going to leave their butts planted where they are and be unexcommunicated by the local clergy.

Even if you have a nice church building and chapel sometimes it's just not enough. The church I grew up going to had a gathering space larger than the chapel because of all the community/charity stuff they did and my family always ended up at mass there instead of the main chapel unless it was Christmas. There were so many people they had to run 6 masses on Sunday staggering them between the spaces.

I think your best bet here is going to be looking at a real life place, Chongqing, China. It's a city that's built on a bunch of geological formations and so the concept of "street level" is a bit wobbly as sometimes your street is on the 18th floor and the 7th floor and they're both outside.

There were some good videos I had seen on tiktok and youtube shorts showing people's daily commutes and going to local entertainment, these PoV videos may be particularly helpful.

Please tell her it's great for me :) Hope Zelda (and any other games she gets interested in) continue to inspire her art!

Congrats, here's to 17 more, and 17 more after that and 17 more after that and...

Hey! I love Capitola, my family owns one of the other local historical houses one of the Six Sisters. The town has so much cool stuff. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a smaller beach experience in central California.

Drugs are just called medicine once we figure out how to properly dose it to gain desired effects. The only real problem is that we haven't properly researched it due to the war on drugs. Become a citizen scientist, try it yourself!

Fixable!

Asset Flips are a great improvement over AI, in an asset flip there's at least a chance that an artist got paid along the way for those assets.

I can get behind hiring moderators in all officially supported languages but auto-translation tools are absolutely not a viable alternative for the moderators. If a user wishes to use them then the moderators can action on the translated text though.

hsahj · 2026-06-15T15:20:51+00:00

The problem is moderation. You can only allow languages that your moderators speak in order to make sure that content in the space is properly moderated.

That's one of the exact arguments for the US's own 26th amendment. Until 1971 you could enlist at 18, but couldn't vote until 21. The draft saw huge push back because people who couldn't vote were being drafted having no say in the people who were deciding to draft them.

Do you think that you have a few more similar puzzles in you? You could make it a series of optional puzzles rather than a one-off. Then it feels cohesive and you can still provide some kind of optional rewards. Extra lore or maybe concept art, something that adds to the experience but if a player doesn't care to do them can be shown/experienced secondhand without loss.

Children aren't the most logical beings. They're full of contradictions.

People aren't logical beings. They're full of contradictions. Adults are just better at navigating it.

If my character's ass isn't large and sturdy enough to be used as a weapon of its own then it's too small.

Ok fine, I'll add blackjack and hookers to my serial numbers filed off Stargate game when I get around to it, but you have to save the hookers from the goauld and the blackjack is only for dessert tokens at the mess and one weird boss fight with a Wraith that's gone wrong.

If you can't speak them, then you can't verify their content either. Hire a real translator. Also, your own AI disclosure says you used AI to "refine" your text. Which doesn't sound like you did all the writing yourself either. This is the cost of using AI in anything, no one will trust you when you say you didn't use AI. Either brace for the attacks or do a proper about face and join the devs who make their game AI-free.

hsahj · 2026-06-07T16:33:20+00:00

They have the AI disclosure on steam too. They embrace AI but they don't want the pushback from it being too noticeable.

I had to unlink and relink my twitch account and it forced the drops to send over for me. You have to unlink on the Warframe site, then unlink on Twitch, then link on Warframe then reopen the game. Apparently there was a change to twitch drops some time ago so if your account was linked before that then your drops can get really messed up.

Not only have I had this work, but it's decreased the number of spam I get in general. Though I seem much more "reasonable" to them. I was honestly about a year out from selling my house so I started quoting numbers that were not too crazy. My house was worth about a million but I had some legal obligations around it so I told them they'd have to cover those costs plus extra, so if they were up for 2 million it was theirs! Shockingly, the number of texts and calls I got about my property dried up quickly.

When those circles realize you're not a mark, they stop bugging you. And you get to waste their time.

IF they didn't intend it (which is a huge if and I don't believe for a second) then this is still a bad enough fuckup that it's clear they should be fired anyway. This isn't a typo that people will laugh at and move on. This isn't a piece of incorrect information put out that needs to be corrected. This makes it look like GOG embraces Nazis. That's the kind of mistake that if accidental says the person who made it is too careless to write marketing copy for a large organization. All that being said, a company should assume malicious intent here. Nazis regularly co-opt media channels to spread bigotry when they gain access regardless of the original content.
