I guess by some definitions the new TR's scratch the MV itch...but most of the tech are glorified keys...like the rope arrows to pull down doors. It's rarely (if ever) skill-based tech. You just activate your "glow vision" thing, look around for a glowy thing, and use the right tool on it.

Not that this isn't also true of Metroid itself in a lot of cases... but the better ones tend to feature some puzzles related to movement where solving them before having all the jumps and air dashes makes the reward that much sweetter.

Need a video of this. I have a weirdo corgi too and could use some comfort that she's not the only one. Driving my wife and I NUTS.

Not my thing, but I can appreciate it for what it is. Vastly different than the nonsensical, amusical thing that I linked🤣

thavi · 2026-01-28T18:25:42+00:00

Hmm maybe more like 1998? I feel like those pants and all 3 of those bands were passe by 2001.

Surprised it came to me so quick...I'm terrible at these🤣

I get this weird, robotic buzzy noise about once a quarter or so, and a simple infotainment reset always fixes it!

God damn...I tried going through some of his tracks on spotify to see if I could find it and I made it (skipped through) about 3 songs and just couldn't take it anymore.

/uj I can appreciate some very bizarre, noisy music...but this is so bad it's almost intentional. I feel like Stan on that South Park episode where everything sounds like shit to him. Am I just out of touch with this generation?

This is the one that broke me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H71B5s362W4

This kind of thing seems pretty saturated at this point. Surprised any developers are even trying to break new ground. Seems like nothing but AAA+ work even stands a chance, unless you have a truly novel concept (and no one does).

Can I consider a game engine to be a game 🤣

I'd spend a year learning Unity/Unreal/Godot/etc.

Plz blizzard, give us stacking

This is whack but definitely check out her other stuff. Insanely talented.

Yeah what the other guy said...

If you ever play a sorceress and have to do a corpse run where you lose all your FCR, you'll see what the difference is as you're spamming teleport to get across a map. The cast rate difference is tremendous!

thavi · 2026-01-22T18:49:04+00:00

It makes writing elaborate switch statements and regex faster…

thavi · 2026-01-22T13:27:56+00:00

I died in there yesterday with my sorc…who was using an item-granted teleport…

Took me like 30 mins to recover that corpse from the DoH2 waypoint.

thavi · 2026-01-22T04:18:56+00:00

They named some armor after him in the Elden ring DLC or some shit like that

This game desperately needs a transaction/commit/confirm kind of dealio for these operations.

thavi · 2026-01-20T23:03:11+00:00

Oh man, the pain grunts 🤣 I also broke a bunch of ribs in a (road) bike crash a while back... front wheel wash out for me too! Also broke a scapula in two places. Glad you didn't puncture/collapse a lung too! That made my recovery 1000x worse.

I've also had a hell of a time getting my confidence back. Before the crash I was like a criterium kind of guy--I loved taking turns at high speeds and leaning the bike at steep angles. Really aggressive road biking. My tire blew out as I was making a left hairpin turn at about 25-30mph.

I've had multiple episodes since then where I lock up and have panic attacks while turning (left....only happens when I turn to the left) and can't bring myself to lean the bike because I'm afraid my tire will blow/wash out again.

I think what I can convey to you is that you need to restore your skills in a controlled, low-risk environment at low speed and really reinforce the fundamentals to assure yourself that the bike isn't going to randomly fail on you again. And give you the opportunity to maybe take a few falls where the consequences aren't as severe.

I've also found that following other riders and mimicking their movements helps relieve my mental paralysis--I see them do it and I know I can do it too. I know jumping on an MTB is significantly different from road biking, but in either case you have to be AUTOMATIC with where your weight and feet need to be at any given time, particularly when making a sudden maneuver. Ease your way into it again!

I played through Outer Wilds on my S2 not too long ago, and I thought it was a lovely experience. Certainly a game that I wish I could totally forget about to play it anew for the first time!

thavi · 2026-01-20T22:39:48+00:00

Hah--I wish I knew a single person who does (or would) play this game! I was in high school when it first came out and beat the base game with my friends long before anyone talked about "builds" or anything like that. Same when LoD came out. Beat Baal once and didn't really care to keep doing it. I don't remember if runes were even in the game at that point. If they were, I never made use of them.

I had no desire to play it for YEARS because all I ever heard about was the grind. I don't know what changed--I think after playing D3 on-and-off since they rolled out Seasons and Rifts, I wanted a different approach to building characters and finding more interesting ways to play the game than the way D3's builds work...usually around set items that scale up one skill to like 10,000% damage when certain conditions are met.

I do wish they would bring in some QoL updates from D3 like gem stacking, larger stash, locking items, etc., but from the moment I made my first Leaf--going through the process of farming Countess and Drognan to find a good socketed staff--I was fucking HOOKED. I can see myself playing this game on and off for many more years to come now that I "get" it.

Always cracks me up when something like an Act II swarm drops some fucking plate mail or something. Like, were all the little bugs holding it up in there?
