Agreed. It feels like a bunch of people broadcasting to the void with megaphones. Threaded forums are 100x better

Fantastic! Thanks

That game is so addicting…

This isn’t unique to video games*. It can happen with anything that you spend a ton of time on, and either burn out on or start to develop more refined taste in. I’ve had it happen with:

• novels
• board games
• movies
• people

You start to see patterns, tropes, or just plain get burnt out on something. It’s a sign you either need to take a break, or that your tastes have simply become refined enough that you require a higher bar to find something interesting.

I’m in my 40s and definitely don’t play games as much as I used to. But there are still times I get sucked in and have a great time. Most recent example: Cosmoteer, a spaceship building game with loads of freedom and creativity. I’m also looking forward to the Factorio DLC and the Dyson Sphere Program combat update.

Edit: case in point that I can still get excited about games: I finally tried Shadows of Doubt and, wow, what an interesting game. It’s like a Deus Ex shadowy sneak-around world with detailed voxel simulation.

* though the enshittification phenomenon is a real thing, and why people should play more indie games

Hopefully one of the DLCs adds land vehicles 🤞🏻

Yeah, it’s been in the news 😩 We broke the global average temperature record something like 3 times last week. The graph that accompanies the articles is actually quite scary

Non-competes have always seemed dubious at best. And even where they do exist, they have expiration dates.

100% impossible to not read it in the voice actor’s voice

I can’t believe I used to think he was a smart, interesting person. What an absolute buffoon.

I can see why they’d avoid sharing. It was… this song 😬:

Likely an overreaction to the current protests / social unrest / whatever you want to call it

Agreed. It seems like such a basic feature. I’m missing it on kbin

The problem is it isn’t just data backups, it’s that one’s email is the backing account for many other accounts online either as a TFA or as the username for some site.
