I’m now picturing lawyers aggressively humming at their hands.

You can also get a jar of bees! Thanks for the kind words. :)

Thanks for the kind words. Means a lot for an unknown solo dev like myself. 🙏

It doesn’t, but it does have a pig-based sliding puzzle. 🐖 i posted the demo on the comment you replied to if you’re curious.

Thanks for the interest! I only have a short demo and trailer up so far but would love to hear what you think. 😄

Well, I’m making one so i guess i can’t say they suck. I do feel like a lot of them aren’t great games, though. As in, they create a good vibe but they often lack solid gameplay. I think the writing in some I’ve played leans far too much into awkward and insecure characterizations too, and that gets tiring for me quickly. I’m trying to avoid those pitfalls in mine.

You might already know about this, but she recently released a 3d remake of Adventure, sometimes considered the first adventure game ever. The remake is called Colossal Cave. I bring it up because the Game Grumps played some of it while Roberta talked with them on air! It’s not a documentary, but there are tons of interesting things she talks about throughout. Look it up on YouTube if you’re interested. 🙂

Apparently the firm who designed it also be designed the Burj Kalifa in Dubai

Pixel Tap, another popular tap game, outright prevents you from progressing past level three unless you invite at least one friend - and by the time the airdrop rolled around, level three wasn’t enough to be eligible for any tokens. But for every friend you did invite, you got 5% of the in-game currency they earned, and 1% of anything players they invited made, essentially creating something indicative of a virtual pyramid scheme, or MLM (multi-level marketing), that eventually paid out crypto tokens to those at the top. The Pixel Tap crypto reached a high of $0.0977 shortly after it launched, but at time of writing is now worth $0.006405, less than a tenth of that peak.

Virtual pyramid schemes for monopoly money, lovely.

Everybody wants a tradwife but nobody wants a tradhusband 😔 /s

Some platforms offer better prices in exchange for a one-year subscription commitment, but tiered discounts based on subscriber loyalty are much less common.

It’s literally the opposite most of the time. The longer you stay the more expensive it becomes.

I definitely think FO4 has much better gameplay than 3. I replayed Vegas a while back and while it’s an awesome game in so many ways, the gameplay feels archaic compared to 4. You can improve that some with mods but it’s never going to feel as good as the native solution.

4 has weak writing, there’s no doubt, but it improved on 3 in many ways I think. There are really only a couple areas where I think it regressed. Most others it far surpassed.

I absolutely love online lunatics like this (and also they have way too much time on their hands 😅). Gaming wouldn’t be the same without 'em.

Communities just isn’t snappy enough either. I also don’t think it’s a good word for it. Hopefully something better catches on.

It’s pretty far from a realistic military shooter at this point, huh?

A study doesn’t mean the authors were surprised necessarily. It’s a way to test a theory and take down the results. It makes something that might have been hearsay into a more solid form.

Well that’s the rumor at least. No actual news about that one yet, right?

They’re a lot of fun actually. Especially if you like open world exploration. They add a lot of very cool maps.

Most of the game is solo-friendly. Some things are very difficult to solo, but if you get really good at the combat system it’s still possible.

Coordinated end game party stuff isn’t my bag so much, so I’m not sure about soloing it. There are a lot of different things you can do with different names that all amount to dungeon/raid style content. The things actually called “dungeons” are all from the original game and are really old at this point. The newer 5 man dungeons are called “Fractals”, and there are also 10 man raids, and 10 man boss only encounters called “Strike Missions” (basically a single raid boss with no dungeon around it).

Gw2 is like the sleeper MMO that no one talks about but everyone still plays. I think the lack of subscription and never raising level cap does that to it. It’s a very welcoming game to pick up and put down as time allows.
