If I had to guess, I’d assume there was bricks once surrounding the cinderblock nightmare. You wouldn’t want a hollow brick pillar so I could see someone just shoving a cinderblock pieces in the middle as they worked their way up, never really expecting it to be seen on its own.
That isn’t the right way to make a pillar like this, but I’m sure this was a string of mistakes and at the end it was some poor bricklayer who had to figure it out with what he had on hand.

Jump Ship for sure.

Definitely got some rough spots though.

Agent is a huge meme for my friend group for pretty much the exact same reasons Lol.

Its been awhile since I’ve played, but you should get a few Portcrystals around mid-game, and combined with the eternal ferrystone will help traveling around significantly.
- Comment on The first weekly What Are You Playing? thread! 1 week ago:
I’ve been playing this ‘medieval’ mod(s) for RimWorld which basically limits you to medieval tech and has a lot more crafting spaces to make materials for things, like a loom to make cloth or drying racks to make straw or dried meat. Its neat but a little quirky and doesn’t seem well tuned in parts.
I’ve also been convincing people to try out PULSAR: The Lost Colony, which is like a first person Star Trek adventure co-op game. The game gets pretty close to doing cool stuff, and has great moments, but doesn’t quite nail it overall. That’s almost more frustrating to be honest.

I actually don’t know, I stole this meme from some bird people.
I will try to track the og poster down and ask them for the source, as I am now curious as well.

- Comment on Please do not the horse 1 week ago:
This is really improper horse riding technique. Its nearly essential to yell ‘yee haw’ when doing any sort of horseback loop.
I also didn’t hear any “Whoa there” but that one is highly situational so may not apply.

This is definitely one of the weirder missteps by From.
I’d like to know what the decision looked like internally, because I somewhat refuse to believe they just overlooked it.

- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 2 weeks ago:
I think Eboshi is actually evil, but she’s charismatically evil so it comes off different.
She allows her own people to be bombed, she abandons the wounded from her caravan, and she’s effectively tricked the lepers into working to death for her. She could have given up on the forest spirit many times, but left irontown under siege so she could have a chance at killing a god.
She only cares about her people so long as they’re empowering her. She listened to Ashitaka talk balance but the minute he went to enforce it, she tried to kill him.
Every time she apologizes and says she will do better, and people forgive her, but she doesn’t actually change her ways.
I think this is why Ashitaka ultimately stays in the town - To basically keep her on the path and to her word. (I don’t recall if he literally says that)

You can report the video.
But to be blunt, I wouldn’t really worry about it. Most people don’t pirate, and trying to chase them down isn’t exactly going to convert them to paying customers as they’re not the type to buy it anyways.
Do frequent smallish updates to add QoL options, bugfixes, etc. (As you should be anyways) This will make the store version superior and making pirated copies obsolete and require new versions to keep up. Obviously additional Steam features are valuable here too as you don’t quite get those in alternate versions.
I’ve demoed my games at conventions and had people tell me to my face that they’re going to pirate my game. I’d offer them a free key instead and one guy said he’d prefer to pirate it, so idk some people are just extra.
- Comment on Peter Molyneux explains why his infamous Kinect game Project Milo was never released 3 weeks ago:
Hardware being changed up makes sense. Feels funky that MS would pull a bait and switch for a game project, but its hard to say if that was MS or Molyneux being funky since they both have a history.

It seems like you got your taste of social media, decided you were essentially done with it and moved on.
I am just about in the same boat, I feel social media doesn’t offer me much that I value, and so I have been looking elsewhere.

Yeah the other reply noted the same thing. This would have been about ~2015 and she was in pre-k so someone must have named their kid based on the legend. I can’t recall if the girl was black or not but I don’t think she was.
- Comment on I just realized the only way to get new gamers to care about Jak is to release a "remastered" version, which sucks. 4 weeks ago:
There’s actually somewhat of a resurgence for retro-ish games even among new gamers.
General consumers are mostly keeping up with the latest releases or updates because that’s what their friends or streamers are talking about. High fidelity adds to that but I don’t know if that’s the big draw. Especially since things like Roblox, Minecraft, and Fortnite seem to be the juggernauts right now.
Its just harder to create new conversations around something like Ps2 games because all the talk around them has passed.
- Comment on Microsoft's Xbox Handheld: Switch-Like Dock and Multi-Platform Support 4 weeks ago:
True, though people tend to replace laptops when they fall out of support or start having hardware issues, much less often to do an upgrade looking for more frames.
I still feel Microsoft has to bring something hot to really sway anyone over since they have a long history of competing in the mobile hardware space and fumbling it hard.
- Comment on Microsoft's Xbox Handheld: Switch-Like Dock and Multi-Platform Support 4 weeks ago:
Well a Windows license is just that: Here is a code for the OS, have fun. They don’t care because most support will be from hardware vendors.
Microsoft hardware is a different beast. You need to have parts for replacement, its got to be compatible (and stay compatible) with whatever accessories are coming out, and its got to be better than its competitors on new game launches. That last part takes coordination and support with dev teams.
Don’t care isn’t a great option, unless Microsoft wants another Windows Phone or Zune or one of the many other failed hardware launches they’ve had.
- Comment on Microsoft's Xbox Handheld: Switch-Like Dock and Multi-Platform Support 4 weeks ago:
So it’ll be the ROG Ally but ‘better’ because its less Windows than normal. Hmm.
The last part concerns me. Why am I buying into a platform that Microsoft couldn’t care less if it sells at all because they make their money from subscriptions?
People don’t want hardware that just gets abandoned when its not profitable enough, which Microsoft absolutely has a history of doing.
- Comment on Obsidian’s Avowed 2025 Roadmap Includes New Abilities, Weapons, New Game Plus, And More 4 weeks ago:
Seems like everyone was all over Avowed the week it was out, then I hardly heard it mentioned at all until now.
That being said, these seem like some nice QoL features but I don’t really see this persuading many people to hop in and buy it.
- Comment on Microsoft's Xbox Handheld: Switch-Like Dock and Multi-Platform Support 4 weeks ago:
This feels weirdly too late. I can’t imagine that many people in 2027 who passed on a Switch 1/2, SteamDeck, supposed other upcoming handhelds, or the ROG Ally and are looking for a gaming handheld with money to burn.
Xbox has to really bring something hot to the table, and its certainly not whatever they’ve been doing with their hardware/games/IPs for the past 5 years.

For some reason it didn’t click to me until I saw the Steam page that this game is set in the same universe as Control.

Seems the article is from 2008, and the La-a I know of was in pre-k in ~2015, so it seems someone named their kid based on the legend.

La-a (Pronounced La-dash-ah)
