Dredge really showed the fishing/horror game hybrid is an untapped market eh? This looks interesting though, I’m always down for some good fishing.

I tried using Heroic to install Alan Wake 2, but it didn’t recognise me owning the DLCs. Only worked through the actual Epic Launcher. YMMV

My wallet in the corner right now sweating profusely.

I would have thought there should be several hurdles for a FederatedFans type site: money being one, legality being another and content control a third. How do you ensure your content is only showed to paying members once it’s been federated?

However Mitra seems to exist, though I have no further info about it as I literally only found it just now.

Pretty much every single game has a massive drop off in concurrent players after the initial spike. That’s just how humans work, not everyone who tries something will like it.

PC Gamer has given it 60/100 (which some take to mean a terrible, terrible, scathing review but to me, idk, 60/100 seems like a fun time?)

This has been a thing for ages, and I suspect it’s got some psychological explanation in how our brains are wired. But 5/10 is not an “average game”, it’s a quite bad one. In fact, anything below 5 is usually literally unplayable, despite 4/10 really being just below average. 7/10 is typically the score for “a fun time if it aligns with your interests, but by no means a great game”. Everything below 7 tends to be actively bad.

Good move. Accessibility options are great, and your “Story” mode should actually be for the people who just want the story.

Given the number of different areas the film highlights – great racing, spectacular crashes, intra-team battles, political maneuvering, technical brilliance and controversies among them - it’s enough of a window into the sport for it to not seem totally detached from reality if a new fan does try and learn more about F1 moving forward.

You know, the movie actually sounds like it ended up the best it could have been given the circumstances (blockbuster sports movie starring Brad Pitt).

And the footage sounds like it’s incredible, I’ll definitely try to see it in IMAX.

On a certain level I understand what he means, but there is something very funny about how fittingly pretentious this sounds for Kojima. Imagine making a good game that people love? The horror!

Farmville came out in '09, there hadn’t really been decades of enshittification of gaming at that point. Their extensive use of invasive player metrics was also groundbreaking and basically the inspiration for everyone going forward, reaching well beyond the gaming spaces.

Dear lord you don’t see that often. I mean, it’s no surprise and it’s definitely deserved as the game is a hot pile of garbage but even then. They didn’t buy off a single reviewer?

I never particularly feel well rested, but it’s a chicken and egg situation. Am I tired because I’m depressed or am I depressed because I’m tired?

Very relatable comment in general, but the above was the most relatable.

I’m already taking magnesium supplements and have been for a long time.

Mainly problem falling asleep, which I’ve struggled with my whole life. Can’t turn my brain off, can’t really fall asleep easily unmedicated. Has always taken forever to actually fall asleep. Lately I’ve been struggling with poor sleep quality too, with increasing severity over the past 7 years or so. Keep waking up multiple times at night and have trouble getting any deep sleep.

Not sleep apnea as far as I know, or narcolepsy. Probably just a mental health thing.

I’m AuDHD and have had pretty bad sleep issues my whole life. My doctors have told me it’s common for people with these diagnoses.

Hoppas detta fortsätter resonera med folket och att vi kan få väck denna regering. Trött på att skämmas över att vara svensk.

I love seeing activity in this community, I really like this one even though I’m bad at contributing personally (though that’s not just in this community but in general).

I share your frustrations but I don’t know that I have any great recommendations. These days I’m mostly a patient gamer, so I can largely forgo reviews and simply play games that have an easily accessible consensus on their quality.

It may have been a small phase, but Farmville in particular made a huge impact on gaming and the internet as a whole. Though not for the better, obviously.

Yeah that’s about what I expected. Fucking hell.

More people here than the Trump birthday parade!
