I never played it, partially because everyone looked like burned marshmallows. Will probably stomp around and see what it’s about

Happy birthday! I need to read more Le Guin, just added a couple holds for Left Hand of Darkness and Wizard of Earthsea from my library because of you 😄

Now that’s exciting! Endless Legend was a fantastic game, making the world so dynamic sounds like it adds a lot of

I mean, it’s called world?

Apparently they’re going to donate it to a community-chosen charity

I think that was the more recent plan, though I don’t have a source

💀

I hope they lose the house for the next 60 years

It’s apparently explodingheads reincarnated

Nice!! What else was up?

Its series finale is still the most watched live tv event in history. They had 106 million viewers, estimated over 60% of all US households! Calling it a lesser known or obscure show is an objectively false statement lol

Definitely agree! I barely played TotK because, aside from the flying stuff together aspect, I’d already done everything I wanted in BotW. I did my exploring, my climbing, my juggling weapons during combat. I’ve done had more than my fill of those dinkly little shrines.

BotW is better imo because of what it was: new and surprising. TotK was good but (aside from some gimmicks that made driving around a bit more creative and streamlined) more of the same.

Anyway thanks for sharing!

FINALLY 👏

That’s how all corporate fines should work imo

Can’t wait for shader compilation stutter and aa smear!

Snark aside using an engine makes sense, their last game flopped hard and they should be prioritizing getting a successful title out. They’re good enough that I’d expect them to have most of the common pitfalls worked out anyway

yes 👍

The exploration is part of why I love Snowrunner (et al.) so much. You end up spending a lot of time slowly working your way through mud, looking for anchor points and easier routes. It feels kinda like an “adventure metroidvania” where the challenge is learning how to navigate the world before giving you the tools to blast through.

I recommend disabling any minimap in any game ever. Little dotted line syndrome is real and harms immersion!

Also hard rec for Any Austin, one of my favorite recent discoveries!

“hey, I know you feel like killing yourself, but if it happens then we’ll just replace you with a shitty bot” probably isn’t as helpful as they thought it would be. It’s violating and ghoulish.

I don’t use office lol

That’s… fine! It’s okay, fun enough filler between the contrived cliche Wall segments I’m actually there for
