They are really making it hard not to say “Silksong was the best game of 2025, and it was $20, and the DLC is going to be FREE” every time almost any other game announces its pricing, aren’t they?

All/Top 6 hours.

“The police are questioning their son” and “Their son killed them” are two very different things. I’m very curious what their “sources” told them.

Isn’t this the guy who gets stunt performers injured through negligence and then acts like it was their fault?

Sorry I was actually thinking of Paul W.S. Anderson, the guy who directed the Resident Evil movies.

I don’t think that’s really the same. The repackaging of Wii U games was because the Switch’s install base was several times larger than the Wii U’s, so they could sell them to people who had never played them before. The “Switch 2 Edition” updates are a way to try to extract some extra money from people who already played the games, but they’re not going to fulfill the same strategic goals as, say, Mario Kart 8 DX, partly because they aren’t going to sell as much, and partly because most of the people who buy them will already own the game and therefore only pay the upgrade price. I think from a strategic standpoint they’re basically filler.

I’m sure they’ll make one eventually. They don’t have anything else in exactly the same niche, and ACNH was incredibly popular. This seems like the kind of update you put out to make sure people keep the brand in mind while your next title is still too far out to announce.

Resomb, legomb, plomb, flomb…

what the fuck

Wait did I misunderstand what bikeshedding is? I thought it was the phenomenon where people who have input on project management, but not the skills/background/inclination to wrestle with the hard parts of the project, tend to focus on peripheral issues that they understand better. So, for example, a committee that is supposed to be planning a new hospital spends meeting after meeting arguing about the particulars of the construction of the bike shed, but just rubber stamps the first suggestion they get regarding OR floor plans or whatever, because the committee members can all understand bike sheds but most of them don’t use operating rooms.

If the problem is that you’re thinking of buying a new laptop, it doesn’t seem like bikeshedding to spend time thinking about what kind of laptop you’d like.

You can parry Waterfowl Dance? This is news to me, I wish I had a save near her so that I could try it.

Serious question: what problems does the default keyboard have that Florisboard is trying to solve? I’ve never looked at the Android keyboard and thought “I wish this worked differently,” except maybe when I switch languages by accident.

Yes, she’ll heal on this because it’s a special type of block, and she heals on blocked hits. You need to use a real parry, like you find on shields, etc., and that does reduce the number of parryable attacks (regular parry does not work against Waterfowl Dance, for example).

She is purposefully built to make you dodge (although I have seen a Youtube video of her being defeated with a tank build and no dodging, with the help of a Spirit Ash to get her pinned against the wall). The easiest way to avoid Waterfowl is to sprint directly away from her, which will work as long as she isn’t too close to you when she initiates the attack. It doesn’t look very heroic, but it’s about 100x easier than rolling, which has to be done in a very specific way to avoid the third flurry.

When I need to eat but don’t want to put in any effort: half a cup of rice, half a cup of lentils, two cups stock (I use veggie stock, but you can use chicken, beef, etc.) Season with whatever you have in your spice drawer that looks good. Bring the water to a boil then lower the heat to low and let it simmer covered for 20-ish minutes. It’s bland but filling, lentils provide protein, it’s ready in less time than it would take to get delivery, and you don’t have to watch it. Rice and lentils will keep in your cabinet forever. You can get stock paste or boullion that keeps a long time too.

You can still have two beers, but now you’re not drinking on an empty stomach.

Oh nooooooooo! I think your dating pool might be cooked.

I finally came up with a good answer. I’d have posted about my D&D character for sure. I got into D&D when I was 11 or 12 because a friend taught me to play with his hand-me-down AD&D 2e books, and then I liked it so much he handed them down to me. In 2014 D&D 5e released, and there was a ton of hype around it because many fans really hated 4e and refused to play it (although I liked it, I appreciated that it gave an option to play a different kind of game).

So if I had a similar learning-to-play story, I’d have existed at the nexus of at least three different editions, all of which I would have liked for the way they emphasize different parts of the game. So because I was 12 my online D&Dsona would definitely have been a wizard who was an involuntary time traveler, who kept getting transported to different eras where magic worked differently. I imagine he’d have the same name that I use in video games, Ryven Toli, and that I would have roleplayed actually being him, during a point in his life where he was magically transported to 21st century Earth and none of his spells work.

If I had been exposed to the 3e rules there is about a 50% chance he would have been a gnome, because my favorite item on any equipment list is 3e’s Gnomish Riding Dog. Regardless of whether he’s actually a gnome, he has a dog and their name is Sherbert (or possibly Sherbet, but still pronounced with the r for mysterious reasons). His familiar is a cat, and their name may have been Belphegor because I was a fiend for stealing names from characters I liked and Belphegor is Miho’s cat from MegaTokyo.

In terms of personality, I imagine that he’s mostly a self-insert, but that I’m imagining myself at least 20% cooler.

Judging by how long I just spent trying to remember what I liked when I was twelve, and then how long I spent trying to remember what I liked in 2014, and then trying to figure out what an alternate version of me who uses Tumblr would have liked… I feel like I’d have to reply because I thought so much about the question already, but also I think you would not get a very good answer! Although maybe knowing that someone finds this question difficult already tells you a lot about them.

I am surprised by all the ADHD responses. I have ADHD and being able to see all the tabs I’m not using makes me anxious. I have to close them. If I really need them, I move them to a separate window and pretend it’s not there.

I don’t understand how this scene, which is only sexual by implication, is not allowed, but Fear and Hunger, in which you can drag a little girl through a dungeon full of monsters that sexually assault you, through orgy scenes, etc., is fine. Like I’m not saying that F&H should be removed, but I am saying that based on what is currently on Steam, it does not seem like this would be over the line.
