For the uninitiated, crouch jumping is a mechanic where you can increase the height of ledges you are able to jump on by holding crouch after jumping, like a simulation of pulling your legs up in real life.

I never really thought much about it growing up, some games had it, some didn't, but it always felt natural/intuitive, and today I feel like it is a way to increase the ceiling of player movement by a simple combination of two existing movements.

However I've heard that some people dislike it, and some actively hate it. Some of the arguments I've heard is that if a player needs to be able to get somewhere, then ledges should be lower and not gated, and that the whole mechanic is useless and just introduces an extra button press for no reason.

I can see the merit in some points, and others I feel like are nitpicky, but I'm interested in broadly knowing how Lemmy feels about it.

155 people also move to SIE; another 75 again are moved to work "with PlayStation Studios"

Many bosses are really hard and have racked up a dozen kills per player.

What boss has the community labeled as a pushover that you've died an embarrassing number of times to?

Crystal Sage from DS3 has killed me at least 8 times every playthrough, but every forum I've visited has made them seem easy.

Greetings to all! I've played Total War titles for years and enjoy building an empire. Now I would like to broaden my horizons and am looking for similar games that satisfy this itch.

To categorize: in TW, 99% of the time I've only played the overarching map. The battles themselves are not that important to me.

I am variable when it comes to the setting. I like Sci Fi very much, if there is something there!

Who has tips for me?

Left the original title from the article for consistency, but article suggests that they may not be shutting down and are instead restructuring.

36 employees were laid off.

The entire team from publisher Humble Games has reportedly been laid off, according to now former employees posts on Twitter and LinkedIn. 36 developers are reportedly impacted by the cuts.

Wikipedia pages for each:

It's a bit of an apples and oranges situation but considering the history I'm curious which one people prefer in a situation where you could only have one. I believe 2006 is still considered abandonware with it previously being listed on Steam but being removed when they ran out of keys.

I liked 2017's gameplay but I felt like 2006 was more memorable and unique so I think I'd choose it.

Heya together. I was fancing the official Xbox Starfield controller but I'm so used to paddles, that I can't play with a regular controller anymore. I then stumbled upon a shell for the Elite V2 Controller. I walked the extra mile and replaced the thumbstick base for a red one and I also ordered two sets of paddles and circle pads. I'm still on the hunt for opaque trigger.

How do you like the result and what version do you prefer, the burnt metal one or the brass/ gold one?

Any advice for further improvements? I know, the backside should be red but I can't find a matching one.

I recently booted up Half-Life 2 to replay it. I have played the absolute shit out of this game before, so 60% of it just feels like a drag to me now. It was such an amazing game but it's sort of spoiled for me after I've played it too much.

I also discovered ULTRAKILL a few months ago. I feel like I could play that game forever. It has tons of content, weapon combinations and higher difficulties with different enemy behaviour.

Do any of you have more game suggestions like Ultrakill? A really replayable singleplayer game.

!!BTW I don't mean online multiplayer games or games similar to candy crush!!
