So are we switching from metacritic to NASDAQ for our game reviews now? No longer will we buy or subscribe to games, now we invest in them. With the blockchain, we will....

I'll controversially say that I really love the Steam controller. Not the steam deck (which is honestly my number 1 if we're including handhelds) but the original controller intended for use with the steam link device.

It really just needs a right analog stick and it would be great. The lack of one takes it from 10/10 to like a 7/10. It's so good otherwise, great weight and size, good design. Sensible layout and the big track pads work really well! It was clearly a prototype for how the Deck layout ended up, though I actually like the controller's big circular pads more than the decks little square ones.

Maybe they confused it for another game.

Not to be too much of an old man, but I do feel like the total digitalization of the world has sucked a lot of the scary mystery out of these things. Analog TV was spooky stuff! Local stations and public access led to some wild people getting on air. Depending on where you lived and how good your signals were, you could also pick up over the air pirate broadcasts or the ghostly partial images of the premium cable channels your parents couldn't afford. Was that a nipple you just saw... or a ghost?!

Allow me to extend a warm fediverse welcome to the free people of Brazil, at last throwing off their Musky chains

You don't, and cutting down on meat eating by any amount helps. "Meatless Mondays" and other similar memes are good ways to introduce vegetarian possibilities to people raised on meat-mandatory diets.

My ex was very strict vegetarian except for meat they purchased themselves from an ethical butcher they had vetted.

I feel like about 90% of "the point" of moomin is these faces:

Jeeze what's next, the simple wholesome thrills of Moonman Doom?

(I don't think they should have taken it down, political satire like killing Thatcher/Trump/Biden in a game isn't in the same ballpark as actually bad or dangerous Doom mods like moonman or various maps that copy layouts from schools and malls.)
