There Is a game call Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADoM) that has been around since the early 90’s. It’s a traditional Roguelike that I picked up and started playing in 2003 and I have yet to actually beat the game. I have thousands of hours on it in Steam and much much more than that before the Steam release and I have yet to actually win. It’s hard.
Does it matter? Endlessly pontificating about the true nature of reality serves no purpose. If I’m driving and I’m about to hit a tree, reality doesn’t give a single fuck if I consider “well maybe the tree isn’t really there. How can I truly know?”
Like, I was talking with a guy and he was saying shit about how can we truly know that what I say is the color green is the same as what you see? It just feels mastubatory. It’s what words are for. If that guy asks me to go to the store and buy forest green paint from a certain brand and I come back with forest green paint from that brand he’s not going to worry about whether or not we see the exact same shade.
So I’ve done a lot of world traveling. Now when I’m with my friends, who have never left the US, I ironically act snobby about dumb shit. “This pizza isn’t as good as the pizza I had in Italy” “This isn’t as good as German beer” “This sushi isn’t like the real sushi in Japan” “if this spider was from Australia I’d already be dead”
Ah. The forgotten lands, according to some maps.
I kinda wish the article has expanded on what he said, if anything. Does he still think they are well made games even if he doesn’t like the direction?
Like, I don’t like the new Zelda games, I don’t think they have stayed true to the original Zelda (not you Zelda II) games. That said, I cannot deny that a lot of care and polish went into them, I just don’t like the direction.
Sure, the new God of War games are not the original avatar-of-rage Kratos but they are still exceptional games.
That post is outstanding and is a wonderful writeup that highlights the danger of associating with a company as morally bankrupt as Meta.
There is concern that Threads will use embrace, extend, extinguish to depreciate the ActiviyPub protocol. Essentially, they adopt the open standard, expand on it with proprietary additions, then when everyone is using the modified standard they drop support for the open standard and now everyone has to play ball by their rules.
Zelda BotW and TotK are not fun. The stamina system is pointless and the weapon durability is frustrating. On top of that, the world’s are just sooo empty. There’s really nothing in them. Oh look, an interesting ruin… it’s another repetitive shrine. Oh, that geological formation is really unique aaannnddd it’s another fucking korok seed. That’s all you ever got for exploring. Shrines and korok seeds.
I did like slapping random shit onto my weapons in tears of the kingdom though. All in all to me the games are fine but not really Zelda games.
I’ll accept the risk. I need the clicky
I never understood the arguments people use surrounding daylight savings. The health risks, accident risks, any risks surround the actual switch, not really the what time is used. If the clocks were set forward for “summer time” then 3 months later Daylight savings was abolished and no one changes their clocks anymore (as you said, permanent summer time) there would be no ill effects from it cause everyone was already used to the time change.
I want to get rid of daylight savings. I don’t care whether it’s standard time that use used or daylight savings time that is used as long as the switchover stops happening.
I’m torn and slightly confused. On one hand, good on them, I do enjoy some shitposting. On the other, the founder of NAFO is a nazi.
Edit: Also I went to Truth Social and thought it was weird that I couldn’t reject their cookies so I clicked in the link at the bottom for GDPR and it gave me a 404 lol.
What a wonderful website. All it needs is flames.gif and a link to a page that has little barricades on it that says “Under construction”
I blame my love of high fantasy on the Xanth series. First it was Xanth, then it was Redwall, now it’s my preferred form of escapism.
Tankies gonna tank.
Not really. If they schedule oil changes every 6 months the mileage check is to see if they should also schedule like a transmission check so you don’t have to keep coming back
That there was some confusion whether it is a purple monster that eats people or a monster that only eats purple people.
It’s a name he adopted while living in Paris, according to Greg Sestero.
Huh. I don’t remember buying it. Great game though.
Well it’s a .ru domain so that site is russian and there is this bit
Which doesn’t mean anything per se but it’s kinda suspect.
