I keep hearing this 15% tariff from EU to US. What’s EUs counter tariff to from US to EU. 15%? 10%? 0%? Wtf.

I’m going against the grain and say I love watching someone else play the game they’re good at. And I will provoke a bit and say it’s the same as watching someone pro playing football versus playing it yourself.

I cannot play horror games at all but I will consume every and all playthroughs of known good horror games. Then again I would never watch someone play crpg or mmo, the games I’m actually good at.

I just love to see some high level rocket league game play or trackmania or Fortnite or a Elden Ring challenge run versus playing myself those games. I have limited time but want to experience many games and I feel watching them is almost as good as playing them without actually spending thousands of hours getting good.

Thanks for making these posts!

Just to add more info on those images you found for Dolphin. The original art without the text is from this artist https://www.artstation.com/pierreroussel/albums/8482338. I love them.

Quick version:

• Install latest Java
• Install latest Minecraft Java server
• Play vanilla Minecraft

Rabbit hole:

• Bedrock / Java version differences
• Modpacks, mods and Minecraft version differences (1.12, 1.20) require different Java versions.
• Official server vs 3rd party software (papermc, purpur…)
• Publicly open server vs firewalled

I started Yakuza 0 on my PC and Excavation of Hob’s Barrow on my deck.

Yakuza side missions are fun but the combat feels too repetitive. Maybe it gets better once you unlock more skills but I doubt it.

100% not judging anyone who prefers mobas or MMOs. I just feel that as a patient gamer (with a huge backlog) I can’t no more try or play another one.

The time sink alone and psychological methods like daily missions/battlepasses/FOMOs they use to make me get hooked just now days make me want to skip all of those kind of games even when I’m really into the game/idea.

I can experience 10 single player games (that I already have) instead of one GaaS game. I’m happier this way.

Why not both and add a few more. Make the game randomize which attire the duck has from a limited pool of costumes and force a change maybe as often as after every save/load/level.

Totally unnecessary but silly feature. If there is any mention of the duck in the environment/narration you can add jokes about ducks being indecisive.

I’m so partial to buying the game but my backlog says no. Enjoy your cat ninja trip! I’ll follow you in few years :)

I have never played Destiny 2 and wanted to try it out one month ago. I asked on Reddit what to do as a free-to-play player to get a good insight of what the game has to offer.

The gatekeeping was unreal. They said unless I’m willing to dedicate hundreds of hours I should not even try and rather uninstall the game immediately. For sure they made it feel that new players are not welcome.

Playerbase toxicity was a harsh reality. The game story, even in the broadest sense, was hard to grasp. The new player experience in-game was miserable. I have no idea what their money making plan is. Live service games need new players to stay healthy.

Wait what? Slay the Spire was on your list? Care to elaborate on that a little bit more?

All my Slay the Spire runs start with the exact same starter deck and I do not have extra health, damage, or other bonuses from my prior runs. I don’t get your point.

FTL? What the heck. If I beat the flagship I don’t get any bonuses for beating it for my next run.

I don’t know if we understand ‘roguelite where we get permanent bonuses for next round’ in the same way. In Hades and Rogue Legacy your run will most likely be more stronger than your last run because of permanent upgrades. In FTL, Slay the Spire or Into the Breach you don’t get those - you just expand the available starting gear / setups.
