Great game. It reminds me of Warcraft 3, but without having enemy armies destroy my base - I was never good at the fighting but enjoyed base building so this is just in my wheel house. And it’s great that you can use multiple strategies to win. I’m more into satisfying everyones needs as opposed to exploration based run. You?

I loved the first game, but didn’t try the second one yet. I don’t really know what I’m waiting for 😀

Looks like some crazy trippy stuff. Graphics seem pretty nice, but who knows what will the actual gameplay look like

The EU regulators have many flaws but news like this gives me some hope

Ok, thanks for the info. I started freaking out :D

What I love about the Zelda games is that they try out something new with each title. So who knows, maybe they’ll eventually do a Zelda that’s geared more to fans of the older titles.

I agree with all you said about Zelda BOTW. As a Zelda game I was really disappointed. But if you set aside the Zelda part it was actually a pretty fun game for me. I really enjoyed the exploration and it was the best open world game I played so far. But too easy forgettable dungeons and too easy bosses and darn weapons breaking really bothered me so I’m not even interested in the TOTK. I’ll wait for the next Zelda game and keep my fingers crossed.

Good to hear! That guy made some of the best video game music ever. Just Super Mario and Ocarina of Time should be enough. Also, it’s really fun to play his music on a piano, although it’s always pretty hard at first 😅

I really like the flashing police horses. The game looks fun, can’t wait to try it out.

Yep, even if the game is Windows only and you’re a Linux guy, you go into the Steam properties/settings for that game, click on the Compatibility tab, and then check the “Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool”. Chances are the game will work fine, but if it doesn’t you can try some other version of Proton. Alternatively, there is also Wine but I didn’t touch it yet and heard it’s a pain in the a**

Oh yes, the “AI”, how could I forget. All aboard the hype train!

Not at all. I played DF (with sprites) and had a great time. The graphics are not fantastic, but are not unappealing either. I know a lot of people loved the ASCII, but personally I’m not into that.

I’d argue that Minecraft and Stardew Valley do visually look good. Looking good doesn’t mean that it has to look like a AAA game with realistic graphics. Very old games like Super Mario Bros 3 look great even today. Pixel art games if done with care look fantastic. What I didn’t like about this game when looking at the trailer on Steam is that the world looks barren - specifically, look at the 35s mark on their Steam video. I see that there are some other visually appealing scenes in the trailer, but some scenes just look unfinished. I agree I was a bit harsh, but the couple of close-ups in the trailer left a really bad impression on me.

I like the concept, but visually it looks pretty crude. Somehow I think if devs didn’t care enough to make the game look good (it doesn’t have to look fantastic), then I’m pretty sure the gameplay isn’t all that impressive either.

Yep, I’m so happy when I hear how shitty Win 11 is. Enjoy your ads, currency exchange rates that for some reason cycle on the taskbar, traffic information, and what not.

It’s 100% on purpose. I wished they payed artists to create something new, not to recreate an existing very popular game. On the other hand, I’m intrigued with coop and the possession mechanic so it might be fun. But who knows if it’s a good coop or a frustrating Mario-like coop where the game is actually harder because you keep bumping into each other and fall into a pit as a result.

I didn’t expect to see “A Swim in a Pond in the Rain” here. I’m currently reading it and I’m really enjoy all those Russian short stories, but also the commentary on those stories is also pretty great. As someone who doesn’t have a literary background it’s nice to see how it’s done.

Sounds like your doing a good job.

You can try different exercises for the same muscle to see which ones target the specific muscle the most if that’s what your into. On the other hand it’s good to do exercises that actually involve multiple muscles so that everything grows bit by bit simultaneously. That’s the bast case scenario IMO. Machines that work out a single muscle are nonsensical for 99% of people. Ok, if your a world class tennis player, you need extra strong specific hand muscles, but most of us aren’t so we don’t.

And it’s true what you say, sometimes a muscle starts hurting like hell two days after the actual workout so you think you didn’t do a good job when all of a sudden you have trouble sitting down 😄

Without going into the specific program you use because I’m not familiar with it, I’d say the most important thing is good technique and posture. All exercises’ are much easier if you don’t do them correctly (other muscles start helping out). So don’t pump reps like crazy. Do it a little slower but be mindful about the muscles that should be working out. And if you have correct technique all of the sudden it becomes much harder because intended muscles are activated.

Look on youtube for how to do workouts correctly and WRITE IT DOWN because you’ll forget. And before every exercise remind yourself about the correct posture.

Ok, I’d say it’s biggest selling point is not being owned by Google - the company with the business model of violating privacy. But if you don’t care about that, think about how short is the battery life on your phone. It doesn’t have to be that way. That’s because of Googles and Facebooks of the world that convert your money that you spend on charging your phone to make money on the data they collect.
