Reddit is a British museum

Achilles dragged Hector’s body around the walls of Troy on a chariot. He raced at top speed.

But Sonic the Hedgehog raced faster.

Okay but did anybody read the Darren Shan Demonata series when they were younger? This is literally the plot of the third book.

I can no longer alt+f+s+a to open PowerShell as admin in the current folder

I can no longer drag files into the address bar to move files to the parent folder.

I can no longer see the seconds by clicking the clock on the taskbar.

File explorer search is still shit.

File properties window is still fixed size, and cannot be resized.

We’re regressing, billy-boy.

I use windows for work, and I just had to update to Win 11 when I got a new PC.

Jesus Christ I hate it.

So many fundamental parts of my workflow have been disrupted. I have yet to find one change which I actually like.

I thought they did a pretty good job with Windows 10, but this one is five steps backwards.

Once, I had a song in my head that I wasn’t able to remember much about. I posted on the /r/tipofmytongue community, letting them know that all I could remember was “eh, oppah”

After a few incorrect guesses, somebody realized that it was Moby’s “Natural Blues”

I played 68 games. Steam median is 8.

Yeah, while I personally really enjoyed both new games, I can understand not liking the way the gameplay went. However, I think Kratos’ story is a perfect evolution for the character, so I cannot really understand his opinion there

Greatest action RPGs, perhaps. But even that has little bearing on TV show writing, since the important writing aspect of RPGs is the mass of options, not the actual writing itself.

On Ori and the Blind Forest - if you generally enjoy platformers, I would encourage you to give the sequel a shot, Ori and the Will of the Wisps. I played BF years ago and like you, I bounced off it. Then a couple of years back I tried WotW and loved it.

I subsequently went back and retried BF, and I realized that every issue I had with the gameplay had been fixed in the sequel.

The story of the first game only factors into the second game in minor ways, so you’ll be fine if you skip it.

I’m currently on playthrough 4 of Stardew. Love that game

Unfortunately I had to drop Alan Wake after the prologue. The game is probably great, but I think my PC has finally hit a AAA game it just cannot handle. Perhaps I’ll give it another shot once I upgrade.

I absolutely get your criticisms with Ghost of Tsushima. While I personally loved the game when I played it, I do recall commenting that it had the same gameplay loop as I criticize Skyrim for i.e. go here, kill things, repeat, but for me the core combat mechanics were good enough that I didn’t mind. A shame that you weren’t able to enjoy them to the same extent, but very fair critique

And PSPrices for playstation store

“Do you have any games on your phone?”

Yeah, I don’t know if I’ve used a PC game disk since I was playing Myst or the Spider-Man 2 (OG) demo

I really appreciate games like Dishonored, where you have massive levels to explore but they’re still very tailored experiences, and each level gives you something brand new.

My one gripe with Dishonored is that the way runes, bone charms and money (the main upgrade materials) work encourages you to explore every nook and cranny of each level. While some may like that, I’d prefer to find a fun way to reach my target and then on future playthroughs I could find another dozen completely distinct routes, making every run feel fresh.

That whole second paragraph has nothing to do with your point, I just felt like mentioning it.

Yeah I love 2D platformers, but can’t get into 3D. I did enjoy Super Mario 64 when it came out, but on replay I find it’s often finicky and hard to control, simply because of the 3D format.

Give me some Celeste any day though

While I don’t disagree, when I eventually get a PS5 I plan to get the disk version, simply because I can often get disk games second hand for a fraction of the price that they are on the playstation store

YouTube is trash, and if a viable alternative were to exist then I would switch in a heartbeat.

But I’m all about convenience, so until that alternative exists, if I have to give some money to YouTube to have that convenience, I’ll do it.
