The last game close to even “horrorish” I’ll probably play one day is Bioshock 2, since that’s the last one I have left.

Visually it looks great, but leans into the horror too much for me. When I was younger I was into a lot of the Resident Evil games, but I’ve since moved away from playing that kind of stuff.

No flashing lights or anything that stood out. I am usually the one that points that stuff out. I’ve never seen that many cops on bikes hiding around, so I have to assume it’s just how this town was setup.

My wife was very determined to not mess up her car insurance and her clean record. So she spent a while looking up and calling lawyers. It’s not time she got back, but in the grand scheme of things, very worth it.

I am a stickler for going to speed limit everywhere, which drives my wife crazy, but being out of town there is no way to know some local things, so you just follow the flow of traffic. We were even going slower than some people around us, we were just the lucky ones the cop picked out. Those areas are created to be speed traps on purpose.

100% get it on sale, that’s when I got it. It feels like you’re in a Tim Burton world.

Once on vacation with my wife, we were on a highway and saw a woman painting her fingernails while driving. She was doing this for a few mins and we heard a police motorcycle coming up from behind and we thought “Oh nice, go get her”… but they pulled us over instead! Apparently where the highway ends it goes from like 75mph to 30mph. Turns out cops hide in the area to catch people. It was a hefty ticket too since we were technically going “40mph” over (like everyone else). During the rest of our stay we noticed motorcycle cops everywhere! They were just camped out all over with radar guns in pairs trying to catch people. We ended up hiring a local lawyer to appear in court (since we had to appear in court for the ticket as well), since we obviously weren’t from the area. It was dismissed and we paid less for the lawyer than it would have been to pay the ticket plus insurance would have gone up each month.

I think I spent around 12hrs on it? I did most of the side quests, but I missed one in the first town, since I didn’t know stuff is missable if you go too far ahead.

Overall it was enjoyable, but I quickly went from thinking “There’s only 6 towns? This game is going to end too quickly for me” to “This is feeling long” when I got halfway through.

I would have liked more variation in cards for battles as well, but as a small indie game it makes sense that they limited themselves.

I am curious about the next game and may get it. It looks like it’s switching game generes a bit with it being top down, but it looks more polished.

Just finished playing Lost in Random. While the general art-style and premise were great, the ending felt a bit lack luster, like the studio ran out of money. There were also some interesting mechanics that just seen abandoned mid game.

Yes everyone has gotten so angry lately. I get why… but it’d be nice to still have some nice online spaces.

Before clicking I already assumed microsoft and sony were going to be named as options, who are arguably worse companies. While Nintendo is doing shitty stuff, I don’t see the equal uproar against the other companies. My only assumption is Nintendo’s strict stance against emulation is clashing with lemmy’s pirate culture.

I was just needing to rip apart a pdf for content the other day. Good to know.
