It's some backlog for me, but also some just solid as hell live services that have been around a while:

  • Path of Exile
  • The Messenger
  • Warframe
  • Yakuza 0
  • Sea of Thieves
  • Into the Breach

SoT and The Messenger both turned 6 just this year, so they're squeaking by, but I suppose the thrust of the idea is still there

Highly recommend at least trying to poison your data before deactivating/deleting; they have some legalese that gives them a workaround to keep things to an extent

Yeah, the deactivation link takes you to "delete" it, but they do have some legalese that suggests they could keep it to "enforce their agreements" among other things

There's that and Heroic is doing some excellent work implementing proton and steams stuff into GOG games!

Wow, absolutely gorgeous. According to my father and his cabal of genealogy enthusiasts, allegedly this place used to be a holding of some distant ancestors of mine. I always used to get a kick out of looking at the family tree, where one guy would have a title, something like "Lord of Warwick Castle" (I can't remember it exactly), then only to look a generation later and see a note by the next guy, saying "Re-Took Warwick Castle."

Damn, dude, those are considered rare? That's a hell of a bummer

Superb is right! Absolutely a delight, it's become something I keep returning to on a regular basis. Each time, just enough balance between "chilled out," familiarity, and freshness of relevant judgment/choice-making. Definitely helps that the UI is absolutely on point throughout and the music is a delight.

My main suggestion is to set your recipe limits - if you just keep making everything beyond reasonable levels, you run out of materials nonsensically, i.e. "No, I REALLY don't need 200 brick, thanks, I'd rather have some pottery, just a LITTLE BIT, PLEASE"

Yeah, I guess I'm gonna dogpile here a bit, but can confirm it's pretty solid on the deck. I thought I'd hate track-padding, but it's actually pretty pleasant. Just had to remap a couple things, like wood-cutting & a couple back paddle buttons and it plays surprisingly smoothly. I've played on both PC & deck and oddly I'm starting to get to like playing on the deck a little bit better actually.

Give it a try!

Define container; reasonably, a room could be defined as a container. A container of what? And furthermore, define empty! Knowing when something's "empty" has all kinds of applications. That and teleporting, even a few inches could be incredible, especially dependent on how often/quickly you could do it. 3 & 7, hands down

The wild part for me, though, is when I basically played the basic Greensleeves on the lute from memory in a livestream, then slipped into playing Francis Cutting's version (the best, IMO, the elegance of the compound meter is just badass) after the first playthrough, again by memory, I was copyright struck after the fact twice, with a strike for each, one after the other.

TBF the proper way of doing it would be to improv it into your own direction, which I did afterwards and didn't get struck for, but it's just crazy to me how much the recording industry tries to clamp down on anyone performing anything even vaguely sounding like a preexisting recording. I contested the strikes, largely standing on principle that I was doing the performing myself and that the music itself was ancient and they were dropped.

The number of times it's handed me a copyright strike for recording tunes that are >400 yrs old is simply tiring. Used to be infuriating, but now I'm just tired lol
