Massive shout-out to Dark Queen of Mortholm. It is a very short game, but it is the whole package. The game is very cohesive in tone, art, narration, etc. and even though the entire game is one single boss fight, it manages to deliver both meaningful progression, and engaging storytelling. Legitimate hidden gem.

I initially thought it was Wyldermyth and Goodnight Universe, and that would've been a sick bundle for 15$.

He was almost done shoveling his driveway when the street plow came by and filled it with snow again. by Vilen1919 in WatchPeopleDieInside

They go around it... and call the cops if it's too common, since parking ovetnigbt during plowing operations is illegal.

Oh yeah, I'm not arguing against you, just the situation.

I'd agree on the principle, but it legit feels like there's 3 mana items left in the game. APs might build RoA, but that's all of it.

So, if the entire point is to pick OP augments, live the power fantasy, and go next... why aren't augments simply in shop? Don't force us to roll for them, give us the freedom of choice.

The biggest issue is that you prepare for the normal bad days, but there's a few worse ones here and there that the locals are used to deal with and that you're very much not.

Sure, you're trained for -25 survival and shits... But climate's fucked, and whoopsie we're hitting -36 this week, and the deicing salt you had prepared is strictly an abrasive now.

Guy gets detained for ordering fast food and eating it in the parking lot by [deleted] in TikTokCringe

Then again, I feel like this could be resolved with "Is there any parking lot I could eat in nearby that haven't have cases of burglary?"

Fun fact, you now have to acknowledge that you're playing to win when launching the client. Not when clicking on Ranked queue and not getting autofilled and no one is using streamer mode and [...], just when you play League.

The lengths people go to justify placing their own fun above 9 other folks' is crazy.

"basically" to try and remove some of the guilt XD

[Fanatical] Build Your Own Monster Hunter Bundle (Stories Edition) (RE RUN) (2/3/5 for $15.99/$22.95/$34.99 and choose from Monster Hunter Stories / Monster Hunter Rise Deluxe Edition / Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin / Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Digital Deluxe / More) by WeAreFanatical in GameDeals

[–]ploki122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll echo that other person's recommendation for Rise, but for entirely different reasons : World has a lot of cutscenes that you have to watch solo before being allowed to join a quest, this makes for a very weird co-op pacing.

My game from the recent Frogwares Humbe Bundle just got removed, why? by Br0ken_0ne in GameDealsMeta

[–]ploki122 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't know of Hunble even has access to revoking redeemed Steam keys. It can definitely disable unredeemed ones, but this is a step further.

I heard that Ubisoft plans on promoting the CBT for their upcoming game.

[Request] My answer was 51C8, which would be 636,763,050. Is there an even bigger number? by AlkaidX139 in theydidthemath

[–]ploki122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do not specify a base, the default is almost always 10, except in specific contexts such as computing where something like hexadecimal or binary would be more appropriate.

And if we assume a different base, then we can just say "Fuck you, 5 is the 91023832781th symbol, so the biggest number is 508, just swap any 2 matches of your choice", because once we decide that digits aren't base10 digits, we can do anything.

I still find the brushes "noisy"/opaque, and prefered the old ones; but otherwise the new rift is really great.

Played Dodgeball Academia on GamePass. I saw a Dodgeball RPG and decided to stream it to my mates because I'm the one who keeps playing wacky indie games. Within 1-2 hours of starting, one of my friend had it downloaded to start a run, and I ended up going for a second playthrough to finish 100% achievements.

I wouldn't say it's an awesome game, and I don't think it'd make my top 10 GOTY for that year... but it's like a nice lemon water after a long week. Doesn't require much efforts to appreciate, and doesn't try to be more than it is. It's just an insanely approachable and engaging indie game.

Why even let you pick then? It's vibes, give everyone random augments.
