  There is. Newer EA games, anything with Epic Online Services (but especially with a login), etc. They get negative reviews fairly consistently.

  Some older games get overlooked, but even then adding in a third party software (not even necessarily needing an account) often lowers a game to a mixed rating on Steam for recent reviews.

  So they just compared averages/peaks and said “it’s just your perception being used to too hot weather, it’s not unusually cold”.

  Fair, but that feels very superficial. Was the temperature variation higher than usual? More/less rainfall or humidity?

  This is not to say our perception isn’t warped by climate change, but climate change isn’t just higher temperatures. Normal weather patterns changing, more extremes, etc.

  I don’t have the time or will to check on that, but I just feel making a 3 paragraph article on a complicated phenomenon as weather and climate is just a bit lacking.

  As others said, it’s not for everyone. The gameplay loop is and will remain repetitive.

  For what it’s worth, I hate horror but I generally just get surprised, not scared in this game. To me it’s a game where you go in with the mindset that you’ll likely die in some horrible way, but it’ll make for a funny scene or story afterwards.

  I’d actually recommend watching clips of people. Not big name YouTubers, just the random 5-60s clips people upload and figuring out if those sort of events would be things you’d laugh at or enjoy being part of yourself.

  Do you have any examples of dubious sites they list? To my knowledge they take the legitimacy of the sites seriously, so it would be great to know if that’s not the case.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Were can find a list of Safe Sites where buy Seam Games/Keys/Bundles??⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  isthereanydeal.com lists only legitimate retailers, no second hand/grey market sites. Not exclusively Steam though, so check on the site before purchasing (though usually every website will be selling Steam keys except like Epic Games Store, Microsoft Store, Ubisoft, EA Origin).

  You can also link your Steam wishlist, set up alerts for when a game falls below a certain price, etc.

  Man who publicly restricts his freedom has his freedom publicly restricted.

  On a more serious note though: why is sharing his name and face necessary or even allowed? Seems like it’ll result in consequences greater than what the court has deemed appropriate to dole out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some great open source games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  ASCII survival isn’t for everyone, but I do very much enjoy Cataclysm, Dark Days Ahead or Bright Nights depending on your preferences in realism.
