Life is Strange - At least the original, the sequels are not quite as unique. It's an interactive story (though still in 3D) where you can rewind time to redo conversations, effectively making "save scumming" a core mechanic. The designers use the fact that you deliberate on your own actions quite well. The story is also pretty unique, but unfortunately there isn't a good way to explain why without spoiling any of it.

Inscryption - On the surface, this seems like your run of the mill card game. But once you get familiar with the mechanics, some other genres start blending with it.

Edit: Should also add:

A Normal Lost Phone - The premise is that you find a phone that someone has lost, and you can use it to slowly uncover the story of the person who lost it and why.

The original anti work community on Reddit was more about the abolition of work, before being co-opted by work reformists. It wasn't about just "pushing back", but about abolishing the modern concept of wage labor under capitalism.

Money doesn't need to exist, so your complaint about them just wanting things for free is ludicrous and strikes me as capitalist apologia.

I recommend reading The Abolition of Work to better understand the concept. At the very least, it would allow you to form actually compelling arguments against the idea so that you don't have to continue showing your ignorance.

I've been a bit underwhelmed so far. Hoping things get more interesting as I progress. I've only seen the first map so far, but it generally doesn't feel like something new. Which I get is sort of the point with the story, but it just doesn't provide the same excitement as Crystal Oasis did back when PoF launched.

I didn't like the Wizard's Vault at first - mainly because of the reduction in daily reward from 2 to 1 gold. As a more casual player, that seemed like quite the blow to my income. But later on I noticed I overlooked the 90 gold at 6 currency each. So I think I may even come out ahead with the changes. It's also great to have a bunch of choices, especially regarding ascended and legendary gear.

I haven't really touched the relics much either. I got one from the meta event and just equipped that for now to have something in the slot, but none of the options really seemed significant enough to care for now.

The any weapon on any spec thing, while interesting, doesn't feel particularly useful as a thief. I'm also out of build/equipment slots to test out new builds - so I guess I'd have to use another character to figure out if any of those new combinations are worth it on my main.

So overall, I'm glad there's more content, but I kind of expected more for the price.

I disagree. I've been playing since launch, and 90 gold is still a lot. A lot of players (probably most) don't do raids or CMs.

Be excited about OpenAI's approach to research

Damn, guess I don't qualify. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes, thank you. There's so much casual misogyny on Lemmy now, it's getting tiring.

Why do this? Sorry if this is too harsh, but this is a downright terrible idea. AI in it's current state is just fancy word prediction. It isn't accurate enough to use for news.

Judging by your other comments, you also don't seem to understand what is left wing. The US Democratic party is not left wing. They support the capitalist class just like the right. So if you use news sources like that, your entire project will have a right wing bias.

And that's even besides the point. Why the centrist stance? It's incredibly stupid to think that both the left and the right are equal. One side wants people like me dead while the other doesn't. Where is the middle ground there? To only half kill us? To kill only half of us? Is my desire to live and be myself too extreme to support?

Rethink this.

I didn't know Instagram was Canada's sole source of news. You learn something new every day.

This blog might help. It helped me back when I was questioning.

There is also That's Gender Dysphoria, FYI if you haven't read that.

Temtem.

Extremely predatory design that tries damn hard to force you into micro transactions. And once you do, you have to spend so many hours to get what you already payed for. On top of that, the endgame is almost a completely different game with a different target audience than the rest of it. I regret all the money and time I wasted on it. Had to hide it in my steam library to get myself to stop as well. That kind of predatory shit should be illegal imo.

Stay away from that game, especially if you have any past issues with impulse, micro transactions, and/or addictive tendencies.

It's not quite as good as a separate linux desktop/laptop IMO. The main issue is that system files are read-only by default, so you have to go through some hoops to be able to install additional packages and any installed packages might be removed during an update. Though I did hear they are possibly changing that in a future update. Thankfully Flatpak works fine for most gaming needs, but more niche uses such as NFS functionality can be a bit of a pain to manage for now.

Gaming on linux has come a long way thanks to Proton. Not sure if you were aware of this site - it lets you check how well different games run with Proton, and users often include various performance tweaks and whatnot too.
