Whatcha playing?

I've been playing a bunch of Avowed! I am really enjoying it. It kinda feels, combat wise, that they just fixed Skyrim combat lol. It's like Skyrim combat but with any actual feedback. It actually feels like you're hitting things.

I also played and beat Thank Goodness You're Here. That was a trip, but a funny and worthwhile one

Yeah I've also been really frustrated by this attitude. My advice is to look for local groups of activists and see what you can do to help. Being part of a local coalition can be a very motivating thing and even just being in their discord or matrix servers or whatever can be a good way to get information. I found a local trans activist group that has a user providing daily political bulletins on what kind of stuff is going on around the city. Talking with these people and seeing what is going on feels a lot more optimistic and tangible than the stuff I see posted here

This game looks awesome. Definitely checking this out

 

Whatcha all been playing?

I finally beat Indiana Jones. Very solid game. Perhaps a bit too long and has some noticeable jank. But I really liked it overall

Also got to play the Elden Ring Nightrein network test. Damn, that game is super super fun. I'm really excited to play the full release!

Tbh everyone should just use bypass paywalls clean. It's a bit harder to find now that it's been taken down on most well known code repos, but it is still regularly updated and works extremely well. Here is a direct link to the latest .xpi file you can use in your browser: Bypass Paywalls Clean

Oh for sure, and I do. I'm a big proponent of voting your heart in a primary

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I am aware some states are adopting it. But until it is a common thing nationwide it doesn't really remedy the situation. Yet.

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Wake me up when we have a voting system that allows for more than 2 parties. Until then, I will try and push Dems left

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did you mean to have more in this post? I'm not sure I fully understand. I'll remove if there wasn't more you were trying to say

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 11 points 1 week ago

11:14 for me here... My finger is hovering over the ban hammer 😈

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 3 points 1 week ago

That was my thought too lol. Some good ol cathartic Nazi killing

 

What have y'all been playing? I've been trying to wrap up Indiana Jones, then I think I'm going to do a replay of the machine games Wolfenstein games

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Super fair! That's what I did for most of my play time. Something clicked for me my most recent pick up of the game though. Been blazing through it

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Hell yeah. 90% of my game time has been Isaac. Finally motivated to go for dead god with the new update. I got all marks for the non tainted characters last week :)

 

What have you all been playing?

I finished the "Roottrees are dead" second scenario and had a blast. Continuing my Isaac dead god journey. Want to start some new games soon but not sure what at this point

[–] chloyster@beehaw.org 4 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I want to like these games so bad. Most of my friends are super into it but it just hasn't clicked for me. There's just..... Sooooooooo much to do in these games. I get that is the appeal but it burnt me out hard. When 0 turned into a real estate management mini game I ended up calling it quits. I may get back to it eventually but dang. These games are huge despite their smallish maps

 

Whatcha been playing?

I've been playing a ton of "The Roottree's are dead."

It's a very cool detective game akin to obra dinn and golden idol. Highly recommend if you're a fan of the genre. Besides that I've also been checking out a bunch of playdate stuff :3

 

Official blog post: https://exok.com/posts/2025-01-22-earthblade-final-update/

Good statement from the team but damn does this hurt

 

Some slight good news in an ocean of shit

 

Three day weekend ... Messed up my schedule. Oh well, what have you been playing? I've been checking out a ton of cool playdate stuff, as well as more binding of Isaac. I also picked up a game called the roottrees are dead that I'm excited to check out! It seems like a game similar to case of the golden idol which is one of my all time faves

 

Not a great first look for Ferguson at all. Cutting social programs would be such a terrible move rn

 

What have you been playing?

I'm almost done with Indiana Jones and have been absolutely loving it. Expect to finish it this week.

Also @GammaGames@beehaw.org might like to know I finally got my Playdate yesterday! Been super excited to check out more of the season of games as well as your project! :) I also set up a dev environment today and am going to start making a small little thing for it!
