A thousand puzzles??? Man, I am too stupid for a game like this.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.

Companies using “Got It” to dismiss their invasive popups makes me so irrationally angry.

“Frank feedback” is a diplomatic way of putting it.

In the start of my career I felt that there was a sentiment around web dev that it’s not “real” programming in a way. Not sure if that’s the case any more seeing as the majority of modern develoment is for web platforms.

I’ve never heard the idea that PHP is a language used by web designers who migrated to coding, but it kind of makes sense. How PHP works, where everything is just HTML until the <?php tag comes in, made it so attractive as a way to add some spice to static pages. I cut my teeth on PHP and moved on to other languages later, so it makes sense that it would function as a gateway drug of sorts, also resulting in it not getting the attention from seasoned experts that other languages benefit from.

Calling dislike of PHP misogynistic feels like a massive stretch… but maybe it’s not considering how the designer/programmer divide also has a massive gender disparity. PHP has its problems, tooling being just one side of it, and its nature as a designer-friendly language makes it easy for elitists to mask their bigotry behind “objective” arguments that PHP is bad.

I’ve tried playing this game multiple times, but just got bored too quickly. The characters are all unlikeable in their own way and the game often goes out of its way to create conflict between them so you have to pick a side and gain/lose relationship points with the respective party member.

Look at the profile pictures.

It’s relevant enough for PC Gamer to be writing about it, so someone must’ve been asking.

This “dead genre” has been steadily receiving games the whole time it’s been out of the zeitgeist. And it’s popular enough that they were willing to remake one of the greats as well as its sequel. Things aren’t dead just because you personally don’t like it.

Jim Curry, a writer and marketing manager on Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and the Gex series…

What a legacy to leave behind! I hope he was aware of the resurgent interest in the Legacy of Kain universe before he died.

Been waiting for a sale on this. Thank you!

Have you found a viable alternative? I like how Kagi takes my money instead of showing me ads and lets me filter out domains.

NWN is a game I deeply love despite its many flaws. It’s great to see that others are keeping it alive and kicking!

The links all go to the OldUnreal site, so I guess Epic has just left it up to the community to keep their legacy alive. Not necessarily a bad thing, but hopefully they send some of their Fortnite fortunes over to the maintainers.

Was this the one everyone thought was boring? Or was it The Acolyte? Or the most recent season of The Mandalorian?

I do like me some Star Wars, but it’s feeling like we’re being oversaturating us with shows.

Back when I was actively playing Overwatch (this is now years ago) people were basically using the voice and text chat to be toxic shitheads to each other. At one point I decided that I didn’t need strangers telling me to kill myself in my life, so I ditched the game and generally just play single player games now.

Not sure how others have experienced it, but the community feeling of the past that the author is alluding to is gone. If it ever was there to begin with.

I loved the first Kathy Rain so I’m super excited for this! The other game from the same developer, Whispers of a Machine, was also quite good.

I really liked this game. Felt like the perfect length for making one introspective about death.

I really love his videos! It usually starts with me thinking “I understand some of this, maybe I could do some graphics programming” and always devolves into “I am completely unable to do any graphics programming.”

Judging by that screenshot alone I can tell this is too scary for me.
