  • 90s kid here, but in a poor and rural area. I would play in my yard all day and couldn't leave because it bordered a highway, and the nearest business was 5 miles away. Libraries were special trips. I had no neighbors, and no friends aside from school and church.

    I played a fuckload of super Mario and read everything in the house whether I enjoyed it or not. Got halfway through the encyclopedia before we got free dial up Internet through AOL trial CDs and NetZero, but even then time was limited because phone line time was expensive.

  • I'll say what I've been saying for 9 years: I'll believe it when I see it.

  • Bad film with amazing premise and mediocre execution that you can't stop thinking about?

  • Madam Web. The premise of your perception being un-stuck in time and the ramifications that has for your psyche is really cool. What's not cool is hiring bad writers and nepo baby actresses to portray that story

  • I can program and I have a mechanical engineering degree but I have super niche skills so I can't get hired abroad. I always read that there's a skills shortage in tons of countries but there aren't any actual jobs to take.

  • What have been the games whose writing really got into you?

  • Really? I thought it was ok at best.

  • I didn't like SpiritFarer. For how much time it takes, there wasn't enough game there. There was a lot of waiting, and it gets worse as the stories progress. They stretched a decent story out 4x longer than necessary.

  • I made a point to play every game in my library a few years ago. Every game got 2 hours at a minimum (unless they didn't work). Played some real gems like Torment: Tides of Numenera, Tyranny, and World of Goo.

  • If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed?

  • Nobody would be able to understand me because English has diverged so far from 12th century English that it's a different language. Also I'd be in north America where nobody had even seen a white person. Additionally, I'm 20 ft above the ground right now in a building that didn't exist back then. Finally, I'd be rightfully blamed for bringing plague to the native tribes of the area and likely killed.

    Assuming those hurdles were all cleared: I'm a mechanical engineer. So, I'd tell the natives where iron ore, coal, and oil was buried and how to extract and refine it. Tell them how to make gunpowder. Speed run making steam engines and lathes. Get north american natives armed, industrialized, and organized against the external European threat.

  • Baldur's Gate 3's journey is almost at its end, as its last major update gets a release date for next week

  • It's actually worth the price. I'm also a patient gamer; this is the only full price game I've bought since 2020ish. 120 hours to beat the main campaign once is already worth it. There's actually substance to the hype around the game. The only full price game I'll buy in the foreseeable future is Silksong.

  • Popular 3D printer vendor has come up with a foldable portable concept that's mindblowing

  • A traveling repairman or some other on-the-road professional. Let it go in the hotel overnight and have your print by morning. Or that evening if you set it up in the morning.

  • What peripheral do you think should make a comeback?

  • Cranks and dials like the Tempest arcade cabinet and the more recent Playdate.

    The Playdate almost nailed it.

  • Mark Rober is what you get when you cross veritasium with Mr beast. Someone who's genuinely smart but they're going to leave all that stuff out because they want the bigger audience

  • You burning out is a process failure. Work normal hours and let shit fail 🤷‍♂️. Say the reduction in hours is "health related" so they can't pry.

  • Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer

    Jump

  • I can tell you haven't booted the game up recently because they completely redid the perk system and cyberware not too long ago.

    CDPR has been atoning for the sin that was their failed launch for years. In my opinion, the game is a good game now.

  • That explains a lot

  • It costs ~$150 to build your own CO2 carbonation setup. After that, refills are pretty infrequent at ~$10. That gets you relatively unlimited sparkling water.

    If you're jonesing for specific flavors, flavor powders, extracts, and raw sucralose in bulk on Amazon will run you around $20, or ~$100 total for a decent assortment. It'll pay for itself in like a year and the powders will last you awhile.
