The only reason the players are “too consumptive” is because the game is designed to not give the player any other way to play. You wanted that outcome, so you designed it so there was no other option.



It turns off for me on my Pixel 9.

Oops, just noticed this was talking about 14, not 15. My bad


Yahtzee uses “valid poker hands” and dice for scoring too. They sell that in toy stores.


It was an older flaw in Thunderbolt ports that could do this. Thunderbolt had the ability to request raw memory blocks over the DMA bus, which worked at the hardware level, completely bypassing the operating system. I believe this has since changed though.



I’m not saying this is what’s happening, but if it were me in this situation, I might lie to myself about how good it was just so I didn’t have to deal with the mental anguish of wasting my last request.


Turrets. Lots and lots of turrets in a line. Build them when it’s far away, then lead the worm parallel with them. The small ones pop pretty quickly this way. I haven’t had to try it with the larger ones yet though.


I get stressed out by the fact that missing one seasonal item in the community center means you have to repeat an entire year again just to complete it and move on to new content. I’ve still never managed to get to any of the content on Ginger Island because of that.




AAAA games are so last year. It’s all about the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA games now.


Are there any patch notes for this that are not in video format?



Player preference only factors into the development decision in so much as it affects profitability. Meaning that even if more people prefer single player, they will still make a multiplayer game if they feel they can charge more, and earn more money from it.





There is a “continue reading” link buried several pages down, past a bunch of ads. Took me way to long to find it.

Looks like this:


There are references, in-jokes, and shared lore, but you won’t be missing much if you jump right in.


Yeah, it makes sense from that perspective, but for someone who played the original, where it was all one game, it really kills the continuity.




It was better when it was co-op against AI zombies.



For what it’s worth, Robin Walker and his team are working on the next half life after Alyx.

Got a source for that? I’m genuinely interested in reading more, but I don’t remember seeing anything about it in my usual places.


The only joke I remember laughing at was the pipes carrying “Coolant” and “Heatant”.


Do you just play these games for 1 or 2 days, then move on to something else? I didn’t think I would enjoy playing some of these for only a few hours, it’s not enough time to really get the full experience.


Fedora 40. I downloaded the latest patch but haven’t had a chance to try it out yet.

Update: I did a quick test before work, and the train ride no longer crashes. I’m psyched to dive in for real at the end of the day!


First issue was the downgrade failing to run because it claimed I was missing an ssh library. Then I found a work around that involved grabbing the uncompiled source and running the script from there, but that failed to connect to steam. I finally downgraded using a manual method that took forever, but it worked. Once I finally got it all running, I hit the infamous crash after the train ride bug.


Right there with you brother. That was not a fun experience.


Stop being deliberately obtuse. They pop open when you tap the pin, then disappear after a short time.


About the only thing I still use it for is setting timers and asking it what time it is. It’s useless at everything else.



I’m not arguing about whose fault it is at all. I know very well that it’s the app’s fault. But that does not change the fact that Linux can’t run the app.

I’m also not criticizing Linux. I use Linux on my desktop and I’m very happy with it. I’m just stating the simple fact that Linux can’t run the app.

Linux also can’t change the oil in my car. That’s not a criticism, it’s just a fact.


The controls are pretty shit, but I’ve only encountered one true bug (falling through geometry while climbing) in the 3 hours it took me to get to the ending.


If you want to be pedantic, be pedantic. The OS is what loads and runs the application.


True, but that doesn’t change the fact that Linux can’t run the application.


The OS provides services to the application, acting as a bridge between the application and the physical hardware. The entire point of an OS is to run applications, otherwise it would serve no purpose.

If the app can run in Windows on the same hardware that Linux can, but the app can’t run in Linux, then the only difference is the OS.
