Animal Crossing and the crushing weight of mortgages

[–] edo@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

I really dig Citizen Sleeper. Agreed the later stages get a bit easy but it’s still great. (The endings can come out of nowhere but I’m still chuffed with the one I got.)

100% feel you on Apex. I played a bunch on console, decent decent, and could ride through the pissed-off-ness. Moved to PC and the struggle is real. Still love it but ooof.

Diablo 4. Mate of mine talked me and another friend to play it and, yeah, he was right: love it. Not the kind of game I’d play alone but it’s brilliant as a laid-back social game (even if I’m getting a bit obsessed, build wise).

Love RSS. Best way to read stuff online.

I use Feedbin, which also provides a bespoke email you can use for newsletters so they’re also pulled into your feed. Very handy.

If anyone wants a nice RSS reader for iOS, Reeder is great.

Makes sense, given your goals for Beehaw. Thanks for articulating your POV so clearly.

Started thinking about it and turns out I have a few:

  • Thomas Was Alone for the overall vibe, music and writing
  • Celeste for the the story and gameplay
  • Hollow Knight for the world, music and mechanics
  • Metroid Prime for being generally incredible
  • Overwatch for being my intro to online games and the friends I made playing it
  • Halo 3 because a mate of mine and I played it so damn much

It looks incredible but, damn, they've really put every single game genre in there. Non-zero chance it's all very shallow but the customisation options look dope. Chances are modders will do some stuff that's so cool I'll really want to play this thing.

Also looks like it'll destroy my 1060 and I probably don't use my PC enough to justify an upgrade. So we'll see.

I dig it so far. The vibes are good and the people are cool. My one question, though, is how active things are once people here lose interest in talking about Reddit.

New platforms are always at their hottest when people are talking about what they've left or what the new platform could be. Will be interesting to see how Lemmy is once that dies down a bit.

This looks very cool and like it'll hit a lot of things I like in games. But, woof, the "will I buy it?" decision tree will be nuts: Will it run well on my 1060? Do I want to play it enough to upgrade? How much will I need to spend? Will I use my PC enough to justify spending?

It does look cool, though.

I haven’t heard of Veil of Maya so I’ll give them a bash today.

The metal I’ve listened to has narrowed over the years but I love Gojira and a bunch of instrumental metal bands (rediscovered Deathmole recently and the track “No thanks” goes hard. Also a massive fan of Genghis Tron – every track on their album Board up the house is incredible.

I started using Kagi recently and it’s fantastic. The results have been great, it’s pretty customisable and it uses all the same ! bangs as DuckDuckGo. Don’t feel like I have to use Google at all anymore (which wasn’t the case when I used DDG as my go-to). Plus, since it’s a paid service, there are no ads and no guff.
