The initial prologue cutscene in Okami. It's about fifteen minutes and unskippable. But, the lore being delivered by textbox, you can't just do something else because you have to press a button to advance the text.

I love that game dearly. If I had to pick one game as my most favourite of favourites, this would be it. But please, let me skip the first fifteen minutes once I, iunno, progressed beyond the tutorial.

Assuming that the premise is, they will actually magically play it even if they would usually go "Oh...nice...", I would give Sky: Children of Light to a former classmate who was (haven't talked to him in 6 years) the sort to throw his controller when he lost particularly bad in Call of Duty.

Sky is kinda like Journey (made by the same developer as well), but with an increased multiplayer- and social experience, to keep it short.

Ooh sounds pretty neat, thanks!

Oh hey that was a short but interesting read. Not sure if that fits me, but I honestly don't care that much about the specific term/label. I am what I am and don't want to spend a lot of time just to try and fit all kinds of niche labels onto me, if that makes sense.

Try not to lose sleep over it. As @violetraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone said, don't call attention to it and you'll be fine. It's even less weird than getting a boner in the middle of your physics presentation. Here, you at least have an obvious reason for the boner.

Heck yeah, love me some Asp and, because the description mentions it, Samsas Traum! Thanks for reminding me of them. I'll drop a couple dozen of their songs on my phone again for commute-music!

It's hard to explain more concretely than "I just like women more". In multiplayer (and actual roleplay) games (and even emojis in WhatsApp) I tend to play women as well and won't correct someone when they use "she/her".

Now that I read it here from a couple other people, I would also agree that the female options are usually more interesting and grounded in all aspects (Voice acting, looks, skills).

I don't think I'm an unhatched trans (learned that term in the comments here hah), because I really don't mind being a guy. But I also wouldn't mind if I had been born a woman?

You're welcome! I've played 46 hours of it in the ten days since I bought it and I haven't played more basically only because we're on vacation now and I have to work to afford living lol.

Eco. It's incredibly fun.

The premise is that the planet starts about (with default settings) thirty days away from beibg destroyed by a meteor. You and the other couple dozen or hundred people on the server have the obvious goal of stopping that meteor. But nobody actually makes you do it and since you all start with stone tools and wheelbarrows, none of you even have the means to do it in the beginning.

The idea is that you band together with other like-minded players and form a settlement and each of you specializes into a different set of professions (for example, I am a shipwright and logger mainly but also have a small pottery workshop going). In time, you find new ressources or ways to utilise already discovered ressources to eventually build cars, boats, larger settlements and stuff. While that is happening, you can (and probably want to) set some rules for what is allowed and forbidden in your settlements radius (you widen that radius by increasing culture, mostly via decorative items). The rules you set (and players actually have to vote for and come to agreements with) almost always follow a simple "If x then y (else z)" programming logic and can be incredibly creative. Once voted for, those rules are law and can't be broken by the subset of people affected by that rule. Seriously, one town on my current server basically gutted themselves accidentally by miswording a law. They intended a specific player to be forbidden of doing anything in their town but the wording was "If {name} is resident then prevent ". But since, yes, that player on the server was a resident of something (another town or their own homestead, doesn't matter), so condition true, every citizen in town was banned from doing anything meaningful, since it wasn't worded as "prevent {name} from doing xyz".

Just tragic... the only positive thing is that this being the deadliest shooting in Czech's more recent history shows how rarely they occur.

This "Embracer" group surely seems to have a weird definition of what an embrace should be.

I would have loved to see a fresh TimeSplitters. TS2 was just the best multiplayer shooter on the PlayStation 2

Very expected that they'd shut down soon after launch, after all the coverup they tried (and failed at) to perform. I just didn't expect that it would be that soon after launch.
