Pretty sure it released on both platforms at the same time, as far as I’m concerned any games that show up on GoG with no DRM take a bit of effort from GoG to actually verify and host the installers, more so when the contracts expire and they have to delist them and try to get them back

From the video during a cinematic sequence: “there’s somebody talking but I muted that part”
The visuals are nice but cmon, you can’t play it with no sound :/

Could also invest in protecting yourself, your family (if applicable) and get to know your community, neighbours and helpers that work in it.
While none of the above will seem like much on a grand scale, at least it will help cover some of your personal bases when/if things go south.

Happy to see GameInformer back
As for games: two point museum and nordhold
2point Museum has been a blast with all the commentary, announcements and fun descriptions and nordhold scratches that tower defence with meta progression itch

The same bolt. Put it in. Run through the QA test (which is just Bobbie trying to rip it off with his bare hands). If Bobbies’ hands bleeds before the panel comes off, they mark the test as passed, remove the bolt and move on to the next one.

Correct, yelling and chanting does nothing, they slapped him to a functional enough state that he managed to regain control of his faculties

The video is showing something called a freediving blackout, it’s a condition that gets triggered in divers such as the one shown, plus other factors such as hyperventilating prior to the dive.
What happens in this case is the person loses consciousness because they don’t feel the need to breathe as they have purged a lot of the CO2 the body has prior, giving them “room” to not feel the urge to breathe.
Again, as specified previously, assuming the person doesn’t die of anything immediate in the water, the body simply stops breathing.
The problem is when it starts again.
Your body, once “jolted awake” by the involuntary nervous system, will try to breathe, and it doesn’t know or care that you might still be underwater since you stopped swimming and didn’t get out of the water in time or weren’t rescued or washed ashore on some deserted island.
If you’re out of the water at this point, you’re fine, usually. If you’re still underwater, you breathe in (involuntarily) a bunch of the water (or a bunch of “nothing” if you got your holes plugged) and that’s what kills you.
Kind of ironic that in an attempt to preserve your life, your own involuntary bodily function is what ends up being the final nail.

No. You can sorta do it until you pass out and then your involuntary nervous system takes over and your body breathes on its own because you’re not conscious anymore.

Every update would be dedicated to the GoG platform and not others, might be addressing issues with it faster too since the sole focus is just that one store and the app functionality
