I can imagine the keyboard controls sucking.

And yeah, those messages are exactly the thing that makes the vibe so cozy. You’re failing again and again and the game keeps encouraging you, believing in you.

Oh hell yes. The game pushes you to heights you never thought you’d achieve. And its there to catch you every time you fall.

People absolutely should be mentioning in their reviews of a product that it has bad netcode, or any other positives or negatives they think are worth mentioning. People use reviews to inform their purchases of products. Victim blaming people for certain developers’ inability to produce robust netcode is wild.

I think that farewell and the c-sides are some of the most enjoyable, challenging, and rewarding gaming experiences I’ve ever had. Keep it up!

Celeste! One of the best games ever made, with a flawless Linux native version

A reminder that Microsoft coined the term “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” and they are going to continue doing this on purpose

Its incredibly difficult to join beehaw without knowing what its about. When you apply to join they explain what it is and ensure that you’re actually, like, on board with the mission. I can understand the sentiment of users finding themselves underwhelmed and leaving if they don’t understand why.

As someone with accounts on other instances, I’ve definitely encountered far more bigotry and bad faith arguments off-beehaw than on-beehaw. For some people, which would appear to include you, encountering the asshole and blocking and moving on is sufficient, and that’s fine and awesome for them. But for others who may be part of marginalised communities or particularly vulnerable, the bubble of safety and curation that beehaw offers is so tremendously valuable.

Beehaw has defederated from instances they felt were not meeting a minimum standard of moderation and healthy, good faith discussion. Beehaw’s whole shtick is to maintain a platform where its users can be(e) kind and expect others to behave similarly.

It is genuinely baffling to me how people can see beehaw curating their instance this way and go “feewings” and “beehaw bad”.

I think you mean legally distinct horror kart

Grayjay is pretty snazzy

If this is interesting to you, try CrossCode

Oh my god thank you for reminding me that tremulous existed. I spent so many hours playing that

Windows defender along with a system hardener (like hard_configurator) can actually be quite insanely strong, especially since windows defender starts working and blocking stuff long before non-system apps, which can be a big boon. This approach is also free (if you have windows) which seems to fit your needs!

What’s not simple about it, as a password manager? Pop in the name/uri, pop in a username, pop in/generate a password Bingo bango Is there a level of complexity I’m missing, or alternatively is there a simpler approach?

It appears to be his real voice, but the way he has narrated it has some really strange inflections and is generally monotonous, which gives it that ai generated uncanny feeling.

The Pathless is pretty awesome

Sky: Children of the Light is splendid

Horn is pretty neat but I guess its 12 years old now

Baba is You isn’t originally a mobile game but it has a native version which is pretty excellent

To answer your question, its as others have mentioned: catching a whale is more lucrative than appealing to the average consumer. The entire micro transactions industry (which mobile gaming is built upon and makes it the most profitable portion of the gaming industry by a mile) is all about milking your customers for everything they have without them realising it. Why did we reach this point? Unregulated capitalism, probably.

It makes me sick to my stomach. Stay safe, everyone

Very worth the play - it’s a beautiful experience.

The developers finished the game out of their own pockets, the company was bankrupt. Once the game released they recouped their finances and then some, since it was a smash success and one of the best pieces of art in the games medium.

They are still making games and you’re still supporting them if you buy it now :)

Just checked, it’s a 2019 version, lmao
