- Comment on Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thought 1 week ago:
Tangentially related, but the fox game show “1% club” is, perhaps unintentionally, a fascinating demonstration of how vastly different people think through logic problems.
The premise is the contestants go through a series of questions already asked to a sample of Americans and progress in order of how “difficult” they are based on how many got them wrong.
The interesting part comes when there can be a significant gap in what I perceive the difficulty to be between questions. Sometimes I may have trouble with an “easy” one but get a significantly “tougher” one no problem.
It seems like lunacy to me, but all it really means most times is the format or mechanics of the logic needed for the answer is just more natural to me than the majority of the sample.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale is on! Discuss deals in the comments and recommend some great games! 2 weeks ago:
You only listed Bastion, but the other Supergiant games always go on sale as well. Anyone interested, do yourself a favor and get Transistor and/or Pyre instead or as well.
I’ve been a long time Supergiant fan and it was a thing of gaming beauty to see Hades have such success as it masterfully blended all 3 of their games into the perfect package. Bastion was their first and my least favorite (probably because of it). But it is still worth playing for sure.
Transistor was the first I played and what made me fall in love with their studio. God tier soundtrack, incredible setting, and innovative real time/turn based combat gameplay.
Pyre is the black sheep but my favorite. It is undeniably unique gameplay. But, true talk, you really play it for the story, and that is very much not my gaming MO. It’s indescribable and any fan of Hades wouldn’t receive that game without Pyre coming first. If you liked even 1 character in Hades, you owe it to yourself to play this. I’m not a fantasy fan but I adore the world they crafted. And it is, somehow, probably Korb’s best soundtrack.
Patience may reward you with even lower prices. But they routinely hit this low in every big sale these days. And the risk of not playing them before you die far outweighs the extra dollar you might save.

- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #19 4 weeks ago:
Love these, thanks as always.
Played a few demos at Next Fest, mostly games I’d been following for a bit. Was most impressed by Jump Ship. It’s in a very solid place getting ready to head into early access. I feel like they’ll use that to mostly fill out content because the bones are fantastic. And that’s not to say it’s lacking content anyway. It is a large demo. And it should be more solo friendly than Firebreak is reported to be.
On that note, I encourage you to temper expectations for Firebreak and utilize a game pass service to play it if you have one vs buy. I’m a Control fan, but also a big coop shooter fan (come play Darktide with me), and Firebreak did not impress when I played the closed tech test. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with it, but it was pretty bland for the genre and I don’t think there’s supposed to be a lot of lore development for the remedyverse. Solo is also something they are explicitly not balancing the game for. So I’d encourage not buying right away if that’s your plan for it.

In thought all my stripped screw troubles would end when I found this tip and seeing how much it’s suggested. But all that ever happens is I pierce the gripping medium due to the force required. Maybe there is a quality option that can withstand this but I’m probably buying extractors if in spending money at that point.

- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 1 month ago:
I wine discount your assessment of the overlap (or lack thereof) between the lemmy demo and sports demo. But I’ll submit to you a factor you, and many others, may not have considered. I fit into both demos but simply lost so interest in keeping up with sports after the pandemic. It just really put into perspective how much they don’t matter to me and I haven’t gotten back into them. I’m curious if this happened in any kind of significant amount. And things haven’t progressed in the world to make getting back into them a big desire. I do still turn in the occasional Stanley Cup playoff game if I happen to come across it with nothing better going on. But I haven’t made sport a primary hobby of mine since 2019 and I don’t think I’m ever going to again. And it used to be my primary hobby. I wasn’t fantasy league and sport book level, but I scheduled life around games and teams and spent lots of time in forums.

I just like to add that it has an oft forgotten 4 player PvE coop mode. Also low on players, but not dead, and if you’re lucky enough to have some friends you can guarantee a match. And there are usually populated Northstar servers for it as well. It’s a great mode with progression and the signature combat experience in Titan and as a pilot.

There it is. Knew Ghost had to be mentioned. I still vividly remember early preview screenshots from a Game Informer magazine.

It’s playable now on vanilla servers, but the North Star client also exists, pilot.

Yeah that’s just for the pouch, not the box. It looks like the categorized tabs are supposed to replace the need for auto sorting the box, but it doesn’t feel right with the aforementioned 15years of playing. Guess I’ll get used to it.
- Comment on Eurogamer: we can't recommend the PC version of Monster Hunter Wilds 4 months ago:
I upgraded my rig after the beta just for this game. I’m playing it with plenty of frames after the new drivers and dlss 4, no frame gen. I have an i9-1400kf and 4080, way out of average range. It defaults to ultra everything. It still looks like absolute shit. I can’t believe they released this.
It’s a major shame because combat feels amazing. But they are ship of Theseusing MH. So many little baffling decisions. The scout flies aren’t actually as bad as I thought they would be. But there is just so much shit on the screen all the time. And the available settings don’t help so mod is the only hope I guess. They redesigned the item box interface, so 15 years of muscle memory is worthless and I think they removed the ability to sort items cuz I haven’t found the button to do it yet. You can’t simply open the menu and look at your status to include food skill descriptions anymore (or I can’t figure out how). There is no MH language?!? At this point I feel lucky they left in cat noises for felynes cuz the subtitles of their dialogue show me I’d have refunded if it was stuck in English.
I had a sense of awe and…pride?… when world was such a hit after loving this niche title for so long. But I got a sense of the transformation that was coming due to westernization/casualization and it’s just a let down. Idk why they didn’t have faith in their original, more whimsical vision.
God save the portable team.
