“ESA survey showed” – not exactly an unbiased report
I have memories of buddies in college being SUPER into it. I was never very good. But it still stands out to this day as a game with a unique feeling of speed and motion and control.
Cool. I remember a buddy showing it to me in his college dorm room. I was more interested in Unreal Tournament (which released a year later) at the time and probably couldn’t afford to buy another game anyway. But I was positively obsessed with Half Life 2 a few years later…
Factorio would cost me $370
Dyson Sphere Program. Factorio and Satisfactory tend to get all the press, but DSP is AMAZING.
It’s in early access, but it’s one of the most polished early-access games you’ll find. They’re currently working on a large combat update that should drop in December. Price-to-value ratio is ridiculous. It’s $20 and I have 155 hours in the game.
I’m so hyped for the next Rimworld DLC!
with Valve continuing to rapidly improve Proton, just about any Windows game runs on Linux now
I hope this is actually true, or becomes true. The only reason I’m on Windows is for gaming.
Heck even my Bitwig DAW runs on Linux.
I thought there’s no way… when you boot up!? Sure enough. “the ad in question pops up when players boot up their Xbox”
Wow
I'm between games at the moment, so I'm revisiting old favorites: Factorio and Hitman
I've got something like 170 hours in the modern Hitman trilogy over the years and still enjoy coming back to it sometimes. The only thing that comes close to it in the stealth genre is the Dishonored games.
Likewise Factorio: over 300 hours and the core loop is still so satisfying – can't wait for the DLC, though
I was playing Baldur's Gate 3 but I'm burnt out on it at the moment. Combat is relentless in that game…
People would riot. GOG would have a massive influx of traffic.
Nice! Thanks for that info
Yep. LeetCode medium difficulty puzzles is the de facto / unofficial standard, and even if you’re a pretty good programmer, those are tough to do in a timed 45 minute thing with some stranger watching every character you type :-(
A workaround I like is using the Reader View built into Safari on iOS – strips most junk out, leaving clean text
A Siri that doesn’t feel like it’s ~13.5 years old would be nice, especially with the advancements in LLMs. I use Siri daily (timers, alarms, weather check while in bed, etc.) but it feels SO ancient. Can’t even ask it follow-up questions.
Elden Ring. I tried it again after bouncing off in 2022. So glad I did. Absolutely massive, dense world to explore and beautiful art direction
