i type way too much about video games and sometimes music
I don’t think it’s entirely on the thrill of seeing if they can, it’s also a passion project from their love of the original. They put it out there so people can enjoy the game in a fresh way, the way the devs want it to be able to be experienced.
Yeah, but how else am I gonna make a funny meme that makes people go “OMG so true”
I’m sorry, personal what? Is there a GitHub link where I can compile that?
I gotta get back into this game, but it’s a whopping 93 gigs to install. Still, though, I miss when more games like this were around
Persona 4’s title screen makes me feel emotional just listening to it. I played that game at a particular time in my life and that music just gets it going. Persona 3 FES’ as well, actually, 5’s isn’t nearly as like… emotional
The Dark Souls Character Creation Music is still my personal favorite.
Funnily enough, Embracer used to be an extension of THQ Nordic.
While I don’t think plants or certain animals actually experience life similarly, aren’t our own emotions basically a product of chemicals being released in our brain as a result of certain stimuli?
I mean, people could just make an announcements channel that allows public messaging, that’s not like a legal requirement of servers to make those restricted to posting, but they could totally make an announcement discussion channel, and even make a thread within the channel for each announcement post. Threads don’t actually disappear, I don’t believe, they go away from the immediate discord sidebar, but you can go to any channel and press the threads button at the top and see all previous threads intact.
And replying to someone’s old message with context is totally possible. You can quote reply and @ them so they’re notified and they can also tap your quote message to be taken back to the original message, helping them to remember context.
I don’t really see discord as best at being a social media overall, but it is a decent community platform. I think the fact that reading older content is extremely difficult is true, and sort of a symptom of Discord’s design, but that’s the only real con I can think of.
And traditional forums don’t theoretically disappear, but pretty much all of the self hosted ones I used to frequent back in the day are dead and gone, unless you count the way back machine. Actually, I’m curious, is there any software that allows you to back up at least the text contents of a discord server?
I absolutely love Death Stranding as well. It’s definitely a game where the details of the mechanics make the seemingly mundane become interesting.
And knowing that the things you make and place will help others is a great motivator.
Angels Fall First’s commander role is sort of like this, and that game is awesome
Shit, Katana Zero took 6 years to develop, and it’s “just” pixel art, but it came out fantastic. You just never know either way.
No, there’s another ending. J&J buys the government.
I would almost consider games like Loop Hero to be puzzles, maybe stuff like 2064 as well, or other match 3 type games like Gems of War (not that that may be the best one you’re looking for, but I think that genre loosely fits your criteria)
I didn’t, lol, that was the game that also got me to learn the hands. It’s the only reason I had those saved
When I learned poker playing Red Dead Redemption I copied the list of possible Texas hold em hands into a text file for reference. Each hand beats all of the ones below it. You pray that you get the right cards for something good, and hope your opponent doesn’t.
Once you know the best hands it’s a matter of learning to predict what your hand might become as the pot goes on. Both the community cards (the river) and your personal hand can work together to make any of these hands. If you’re talking individual card face value it starts high at ace and ends low at 1. Here it is:
Have the highest hand per round to win the pot.
Royal Flush- You would need an Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and Ten in the same suit
Straight Flush- A sequence of five cards in the same suit
Four of a Kind- Four cards of the same value
Full House- Three cards of the same value with a pair of cards.
Flush- Five cards of the same suit
Straight- A sequence of five cards
Three of a Kind- Three cards of the same value
Two Pair- Two sets of two cards of the same value
One Pair- One set of two cards of the same value
High Card- The highest card in your hand
If you and your opponent have the same overall hand, the higher value wins, so with an ace pair and a 5 pair the ace pair wins.
Well, it was probably always doomed one way or another. All you can do most of the time is try and enjoy the ride.
I read all sorts of things from people all the time and can often overthink the results or have missed something else I could’ve read that would’ve created more context, but I wasn’t there to see, or perhaps, with time, I read and then forgot.
Basically, I think you’d then need to go down another rabbit hole of figuring out how good Rob actually is at reading people before his testimony is really worth all that much, because while Bob could lie about his feelings, Rob could lie about how he’s interpreting Bob, dismantling the efficacy of his callout, and even if Rob were honest it wouldn’t really prove anything. Just that Rob doesn’t think Bob is being honest, so you’d just be arguing eternally until Bob somehow lets slip his mask, under the assumption he is actually lying, at which point you prove Bob is a liar who likes attention.
But in the majority times that you’d be wrong, or you wouldn’t get the mask to slip, you’d just prove yourself an asshole, and would progressively lose friends/popular trust and credibility until arguing anyone’s true feelings wouldn’t be a truly valid option any longer, since no one would want to believe you, even if you were right due to being more often incorrect.
Basically, if you wanted to spend your time/have some sort of hobby or job where you attempted to force people to be honest about things they might lie about for emotional, popular, or financial reward, you’d have to go about it in a non confrontational investigative way, because you’d otherwise destroy your own opinion’s worth or career long before it would get the public to change beliefs.
So you could argue claims of suffering, but there’d only be two reasons to do so, to be a dick, or to prove they were lying for their own gain, and the first isn’t worth discussing, while the second is better served through less direct means.
He’s not involved in any of the credits for the game, that I can tell. His studio did it, but it doesn’t mean he was a decision maker for the design.
The anonymous internet, which apparently supercedes the sub we’re in.
