Since Brandon Sanderson's Secret Project #3 came out on Saturday morning (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter) that's what I'm reading for the next week.

Probably Life is Strange. It did a lot for me in my mid-late 20s.

Congrats! My partner is currently waiting to get tested for ADHD after realising at the age of 34 that maybe she has it and it's not just other problems or incompetence.

Fury Road is so close to a perfect movie

 

Valve quietly not publishing games that contain AI generated content if the submitters can't prove they own the rights to the assets the AI was trained on

i'm currently in that "need to change fonts" phase again across all my editors and this is now my top choice

I use RSS feeds (via Newsblur) for most of the news, and Twitter because I still follow too many journos there.

 

How can you have 1000+ hours in a single game, work on a personal project for 10 months, spend 4 years writing a novel?

 

question about this magazine: would it be more sensible to redirect people to post sales links (e.g. the weekly EGS free game) into https://kbin.social/m/gamedeals instead of likely potential dupe posts here (that has at least already happened)?

It's very cute! But flocks of cockatoos are deafening and I'm sure someone could read into that somehow 😅

As someone who doesn't (or can't) experience the feeling of nostalgia, this is fascinating. That such a simple act of playing certain games as a kid can make someone 20+ years later experience a set of emotions that makes them yearn for that time.

For me going back to games from my childhood (SNES era) is either because they seem interesting now or because I never finished them back then (Secret Of Mana: one day I will finish you).

I do wholeheartedly agree that nowadays we are massively spoiled for choice, in both the good (holy shit there's so much good stuff that's easy to get) and the bad (financial, choice paralysis).

The most hours I've ever put into a game (that wasn't WoW pre-Cata) is 99 (Persona 5). My brain just can't (or won't) comprehend playing something for x-hundred/thousand hours even if I really enjoy it.

I, like many of the other replies, feel quite the same. Although I think the highlight of this for me is just how less aggressive and how much more receptive and open to discussion people have been. tbf i still mostly lurk but I've commented more here in a few days than I have in the final few years I was on reddit.
