Games that refuse to let you change the difficulty once you begin a game. More broadly, single player games that worry too much about preserving some sort of honor associated with doing well and make it annoying to play. Like rougue likes that have no save and quit for fear of people save scumming.


The thing I hate about parrying games is that there’s rarely ever any consistency about what you can and cannot parry and also never any way for you to learn if you’re parrying too early or too soon or what.



My understanding is they refunded everyone who bought it.

Still dumb for them to do this, don’t mistake me.



Heaven forbid someone play your abandonware you’re not even selling.


I saw what I imagine is a tourist attraction demonstrating that it’s “true” but you can definitely see them rotate their arm in opposite directions. They unplug a sink that that carry across the equator.


I bought Anno 1800 through uPlay and, to be fair, the app is not too bad, but now that I’m on Linux idk if I’d be able to get it working again. Not that I necessarily have interest to play again.


Mario Kart 8 was previously at the fourth spot for best-selling games of all time (units sold), with the title pushing 78.02 million copies across the Wii U and Nintendo Switch. Now Red Dead Redemption 2 has taken its place, and the only games ahead of it are Wii Sports with 82.9 million units (bundled with Wii U consoles), Grand Theft Auto 5 with over 220 million units sold-in to date, and in the first spot, we have Minecraft with over 350 million sold.


Modern touch screens work well enough to not really require styluses to feel good though. So modern styluses feeling annoying isn’t as big of an issue for most uses.


The comment said why not go open source, not why not go source available though.


I’d love to see that but realistically I don’t ever see it happening.


They’ve had something for quite a while now that made it so names weren’t changed between releases so stuff would work better. I don’t remember what it’s called. Like it used to be that a new version meant figuring out everything again.


Do you mean source available or actually open source?


Damn, Preston. This one really is different.



I loved it, and don’t take this as a dig because tons of games had this problem. It was one of the first games in played where environments were fully destructible. Trees? Nah. Trees are invulnerable to everything, including literal bunker buster bombs.


I think I need a band aid.

You want me to throw my shoe?


Jak and Daxter as well as Ratchet and Clank are both fun series. Jak was always weird in emulators for me, but maybe it works now.



Leveraged buyouts are so stupid to me. “Hi, I’d like to buy this company, but since it will be my company, the company needs to have the debt, not me. So if it goes wrong, well, that’s the company’s fault, not mine.” Should be illegal.


If I’d known that I would’ve bought it years earlier.


I don’t think about that stuff. If it’s a game or movie involving killing I suspend my disbelief. It’s only annoying when they suddenly do care about it.


You know, I specifically remember the first having an awful port and they made an advertising campaign about how the second would be better for PC. Guess that’s done.




What’s frustrating is that the thing that is arguably questionable (the art of some of the characters) isn’t what is the subject of anything. Nope. Ball throwing.




No, sharing digital content is copyright infringement, but downloading it? Hey, how am I supposed to know this site isn’t legally allowed to give it to me?



Different servers have different caps but it’s usually like more than 50.


Space Station 14! It’s so goofy! I love the idea of a large scale semi cooperative roleplaying experience.


I might check them out. I’ve recently began playing Space Station 14 and cyborgs as well as the ship’s AI have to follow the Asimov laws (except it’s “crew” instead of humans).


I’m curious how they interpret things like medical procedures that harm a human but are ultimately good. Like setting a bone or a simple vaccination.


There’s nothing wrong with using undo, there only something wrong with lying about it.


You won’t get any problems. I’ve done it before. If you make Obsidian use Markdown links you can even sort of make links to other files through other editors, but it’s a little janky still.



Same! Once I can get a way to magically sync a Markdown file to a piece of paper It’ll be perfect. In theory you can OCR from paper to a file pretty easily now.



Good app to get a 3d layout of a room? Possibly a FLOSS one.
There are times I'd like to get a measurement of a room's layout. I know there are some apps that do this, but a lot are just full of premium pay wall stuff. I'm just trying to get the dimensions of my office (it is an odd shape) so I can okay around with potential furniture layouts.
