You really think there aren’t any normal streamers on Twitch?


Indie games is really where it’s at right now.


On skimming, I’d thought it had something to do with the kpop group, BTS. They have a song called Louder than Bombs.


In an analog, my college degree required me to read. A lot. Like, I devoured books as a kid, but this was a lot, every week, and it was a required reading. I enjoy it, but I didn’t read after that. I’ve also heard similar experiences from my friends who went to law school, so much reading they’ve stopped reading. My husband knows several artists who go into graphic design and stop doing art in their personal time.

I just last month got back into reading. It’s been over twenty years since college and I just got the ability to read through more than a handful of pages in a book.

When something is work, you don’t necessarily want to do it in your offtime.


My husband loves Bejeweled Twisted. I just can’t.

I love me some match-3 games though. Doesn’t need to be bejeweled.


We got a Switch to play BotW.

I guess you had to grow up playing Zelda games after Link to the Past in order to enjoy the gameplay. Coming from other systems, it was very unintuitive, uncomfortable, and basically unplayable since we couldn’t remap the controls. Also, the world was just kind of dead?

I dunno, it was a big disappointment.


What do you need to know about the main game to play the DLCs that isn’t in the DLCs?


I find it bizarre that someone would ever pigeonhole themselves into one developer. I don’t even know who makes games half the time. There’s only one that I have blocked on Steam.


I can only do a round or two before the particle effects hurt my eyes too much to continue. The new Among US DLC is really bad for that because you can get so many so early, and then extend for over an hour past the thirty minute mark. (That’s about when I got bored and tried to do everything I could so the red deaths would kill me, so I don’t know how long it would have gone).


Honestly it was just a good game. I saw it attracting both Potterheads and non-Potterheads. (I would not consider myself a Potterhead).

Does it have a bunch of replay value? Not really (neither do a lot of games). But man, that initial playthrough was just really good. It also looks like I clocked 113 hours on the game, so that’s a pretty decent return to me.

Also, despite the source material and the author, it had a lot of very inclusive elements, which were a nice touch.


My friends all call it Valheim, but with cute fluffy animals.

The ability to customize difficulty settings is also a big hit.


Your Only Move is Hustle

Starfield

Shadows of Doubt

Contraband Police

Remnant 2

Which game out of the choices given do you think most people have heard of?


Nah, this makes sense to me.

In order to get full credit (for the badge or card or whatever they had), you had to vote for every category.

I’ve never played a VR game, but I still had to vote in that category, so I just… picked something.

RDR2 is something a lot of folks have played. Hogwarts is something a lot of folks have played.


More like, a bunch of greedy folks overreached and lost their business to another bunch of greedy folks who sold to another group of greedy folks.

At least we don’t have a splat book coming out every other week these days.

In 2019, it was limited to 90 minutes on weekdays and not between the hours of 10 pm to 8 am.

In 2021, it was changed to 1 hour per day, only on Fridays, weekends, and public holidays.



With as fast as this happened, Valve likely didn’t even cut the first check yet.


Meanwhile there were gifts like games and D&D books that let me have fun for a long time as complete packages without needing additional expenditures to enjoy.

I see that kid-you never got into the world of gaming accessories.



Have you asked her if there are any games she would be interested in watching? If there’s a game I want to see the story of but am not interested in playing it myself, I ask my husband to play it. (BioShock, Mass Effect, Assassin’s Creed, shooters or platformers in general). I usually help with puzzles or give input on dialogue options if I want to.


I mean Warcraft was originally an RTS. No one thinks about that now.

A StarCraft game in the vein of Mass Effect would be dope.



It’s a retelling in its own timeline. It’s deviated quite a bit from the original.

I think it’s fine personally and I’m interested to see where they take it.



A lot of folks just got hyped up because hype and didn’t understand that this was a Bethesda game and was always going to be a Bethesda game.

Anyone who understood it was a Bethesda game, seems quite happy with the product.



Also, what’s stopping Unity from running bot farms that just install games over and over again to generate revenue for themselves from developers.


City Unleashed: Crime Revolt

Default (GPT-3.5)

User Create the plot for a game similar to the first four Saints Row games

ChatGPT Title: “City Unleashed”

Plot: In the sprawling metropolis of Havencross, crime syndicates have taken control, leaving the city in chaos. You play as a street-smart vigilante who rises to power in order to reclaim the city from the clutches of these criminal organizations. As you build your own crew and establish dominance, you’ll face off against rival gangs, corrupt officials, and powerful crime lords.

Starting as a small-time crook with a personal vendetta, you’ll complete daring heists, engage in intense street races, and execute audacious stunts to earn respect and resources. Your actions catch the attention of an underground resistance that seeks to topple the syndicates. They offer you support, guidance, and a chance to reshape Havencross.

The game offers an open-world environment, allowing you to explore the sprawling city, engage in a variety of activities, and make choices that influence the narrative. Customization plays a significant role, not only in terms of your character’s appearance but also in building your gang’s identity, from outfits to vehicles to hideouts.

Throughout the game, you’ll encounter memorable characters, each with their own motivations and backstories. As you forge alliances and rivalries, the balance of power in the city shifts dynamically. The story takes unexpected turns as you uncover the dark secrets behind the syndicates’ rise to power and their connections to influential figures in the city.

With a blend of over-the-top action, humor, and engaging storytelling, “City Unleashed” captures the essence of the first four Saints Row games, delivering a high-octane, open-world experience filled with outrageous missions, explosive combat, and a dynamic environment that reacts to your choices.

ChatGPT did way better.


To Zanarkland is the song I had my bridal party walk out to. :)


Certainly possible! My husband watches a completely different type of content than I do and I never get recommendations from his feed unless we watch something that we’ve watched in a shared chromecast feed, and then only very rarely.


Better than being the art version of an asshole, but I see you’re already filling that role.


No, but my husband is and he’s been refining keywords and using all sorts of loras and all other types of jargon that I don’t recall because I’m not interested in doing it myself.

And I didn’t miss your point, I just don’t agree with it.


I’m not sure there’s a way to ‘use art right.’


I feel like folks have a very different YouTube experience than I do. My suggestions are all already related to either my watch history or are from my subscriptions.

It’d be nice if they would stop pushing Shorts though.


You still have to use Battle.net, so that’s an absolute no-go from me.

Glad they’re giving folks options though.


This isn’t correct or at least it isn’t a universal issue. My Samsung Galaxy 21+ doesn’t have Facebook on it, disabled or otherwise.
