Q236

@bestofstarwar I was interested until "for modern players."

Who’s pumped for this?!

@oldyzach I really enjoyed this one.

If you want to Live the Life again 😎 Sid Meier’s Pirates! (2004) for 2.71$ on the GOG gog.com/en/game/sid_me…

@LibOrNormal Looks like a death sentence to me.

What would you have done to this lady?!?!

@JohnnyOstad First I was reminded of TES: Arena. Second was if I could talk to the lady instead of shooting her. Third was to check to see if the game is available to try.

WHEN YOU SEE A GAME LIKE THIS. WHAT IS YOUR FIRST THOUGHT?

@TolkienWorldG No.

Were we too harsh on the Hobbit Trilogy?

@GamewithDave Motion blur, chromatic aberration, and screen shake. I used to like screen shake but the entertainment value wore off. Now I just want to see what's going on.

How to spot a gamer in their 30s: They turn off motion blur before they even start the game 🎮

@betty_egg @GamewithDave I don't think this one is an age thing. You played a game that had a layout you like and now it's your preferred setup.

One thing I've noticed as I age - I'm a big fan of remapping buttons. Everything feels better when everything feels the same as the last thing. I basically model most of my controls for most of my games after Last of Us (translation: I really need my sprint button to be L1 instead of L3 and I highly recommend everyone do the same)..

I am announcing my candidacy for any position you may be voting for.

@FayeFlix It's a subreddit. It doesn't matter. Find a better place to share your work.

@MmisterNobody It's because they're blind, don't think for themselves, and have no backbone.

It’s wild that we’re all just pretending life is normal. We know 9/11 was orchestrated. We know human cloning and aliens are real. We literally have global leaders acting as a traff*king ring, trading b**ies, and drinking their blood to stay young. Yet people will march for every single cause under the sun except the one that actually matters.

@SandyofCthulhu Reading it as a kid, before the Jackson movies were out, it felt off. It's an unnecessary section. I think it was a good idea to leave him out.

Tom Bombadil stops the story cold. We are in an exciting cross-country trip as the hobbits pick their way through a creepy haunted forest to avoid the sinister Black Riders. A terrifying black huorn ensnares them. Poof! Here comes Tom deus-ex-machina Bombadil to save the hobbits from a threat which Tolkien seems to have created to give him an excuse to insert Bombadil. Then, just as the story starts to move again, Tom shows up a SECOND time as a deus-ex-machina to rescue the hobbits from the barrow wight. Ugh. Again stopping the story cold. What is Bombadil's function? He doesn't represent the Old Good Ways which the fellowship must save. Bombadil isn't threatened - he's a cheesy distraction. I'm not saying it's impossible to convince me that Bombadil is a Good Thing, but such a convincing would be an uphill battle, and I view Tom as one of Tolkien's missteps. I am happy Jackson left him out of the film, because it would have stopped the movie's flow too.

@_rathbone I haven't watched a new movie in quite some time now.

Nobody gives a fuck about the Oscars. It’s 2026 no one watches movies lol

@rushicrypto Very little incentive when it feels like there's no point.

Nobody wants to work anymore… but nobody wants to admit the real reason. People are working 40, 50, 60 hours and still can’t afford rent, food, or a normal life. It’s not that people don’t want to work. It’s that working doesn’t work anymore.

@OrevaZSN Isn't it great?

What a boring planet.... no fairies, no elves, no mermaids, no dragons, no vampires, no werewolves… just bills, stress, gossip, and insufferable people.

@alphafox Since the only way a scenario like this could happen is in a dream, I would realize I'm dreaming and then choose to ignore the ladder and go do whatever I feel like.

What would you do in this scenario? 😧

@CuriosityonX That's disappointing. It's not the cannabis, they were always that bad.

BREAKING🚨: Research finds NO evidence of long term cognitive decline linked to cannabis

@NovaWostra This is what happens when a game has a dedicated audience.

im asking for an easier way to decorate your portal and you guys are asking for random shit like "it should explode on random, it should send you to a random place, it should break on random use, it should send you to an alternative backrooms version of the nether" ????????

Cold take: i think crying obsidian should count towards blocks that are ok for a nether portal to form. ruined portals often times generate in a configuration that dont work, meaning they fail at teaching players how portals are build

I enjoy this as well and it's okay to view them that way. They just focus on the games that appeal to them like everyone else does. What I don't understand is why people think they need to say "it's okay to play games my way." It's like people are seeking validation for playing a game the way they want to.

@Q236 @1ssve Some people believe the main purpose of video games is to provide a challenge, so it'll feel more rewarding upon beating it.

POPULAR OPINION: It’s ok to play video games on easy mode. Video games should be fun and relaxing, not stressful!

@Templarpilled >Told about God as a kid >ask questions and receive non-answers or told to just have faith >Read and think things over >Witness hypocrisy of believers > Continue reading and thinking into adulthood >decide agnostic is the way to go

Many such cases

@forallcurious Irrelevant. It doesn't matter why the universe is here. What matters is that it is here. If it's "turned off" we would never know anyway.

NEWS🚨: Renowned AI professor claims the universe is a simulation created to develop superintelligence — and will "soon be turned off."
