Panties

I got a switch as a birthday present a few years ago, so I've been waiting for the battery to go or for the steam deck oled to go on sale, whichever happens first. I spend an hour on the train every time I go to the lab, so it'll be well worth it.

I'm playing Hades right now, even though I was planning on finishing Mario+Rabbids after putting it on pause for years lol. Although for Hades my skill ceiling might be around heat 15. I still win some but half of the runs are a slog.

I keep thinking about replaying, but always end up distracted by something else. I have now two Playthroughs in sekiro, ds3 and bloodborne, and I doubt it'll change soon. Most of my game time these days are during commute anyway, hard to carry a full-sized PC or console around

Could you tell me what's this about? I was on reddit for 4 years and now Lemmy for at least a year, but I am completely put of the loop on this one

I love those dinosaurs! Bought all the available ones last year for Christmas.

Been playing one of the Aeon's End Legacy games, at the final nemesis now. It's pretty great, although I feel that compared to the one Pandemic Legacy season we've played, it doesn't achieve the level of harmony between theme and mechanics. There's no explanation of why we get two tries at fights for example

I was trying for the second time to enjoy animal well. I kind of see how it's a great game, but playing it feels like torture to me. I'm constantly second-guessing myself whenever I'm stuck, I don't know if I haven't figured out the puzzle, suck at platforming, or missing a tool.

Thinking about playing Hades again next week.

I have a decent amount of hats, although none of them has quite sufficient size or flair...

I'm mostly happy with it, I like nice looking games, i like nice feeling components. In general i don't think there's a point in having those without great gameplay, but then again I bought Wyrmspan for the sole reason of 'ooh pretty dragons!' and was honestly surprised that I enjoy playing it too. Not that I expected the gameplay to be bad, I just don't like competitive games.

I think the trend is simply game creators adapting to the market. There are more people who like and are willing to pay for nicer prettier games right now, that's all. There are presumably also games being made that focus on mechanics only, just less than before?

I was telling a colleague about how my department started using Rust for some parts of our projects lately. (normally Python was good enough for almost everything but we wanted to try it out)

They asked me why we're not using MATLAB. They were not joking. So, I can at least tell you their reasoning. It was their first programming language in university, it's safer and faster than Python, and it's quite challenging to use.

Only got a little time over the weekend, we played Crime Zoom: His last card. It was very enjoyable, perfect amount of complexity for us.

Probably? As I understand you won't see anything on a community until someone on your instance subscribes, when the instance refreshes it'll load the new content

Very very slowly playing the Stanley Parable. It's pretty nice, I often feel mocked by the narrator.
