It’s very sci-fi, but I really hope this is the solution we find and we can just repurpose all the bad chemicals into inert/beneficial ones.

You ever see a lion “limber up” before it takes down a gazelle?

I did for about two months before COVID, then immediately needed a roommate to afford to live again.

I currently treat any positive interaction with an LLM as a “while the getting’s good” experience. It probably won’t be this good forever, just like Google’s search.

I just want to see a movie where everyone Nicholas Cage meets is just Nicholas Cage again from all his different characters in previous works. It would be a frantic movie where his goal is to find someone who isn’t himself. While the plot was very different, Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent had a lot of this energy in it.

The thought of chomping on a tooth like that is just so unpleasant.

This was my first ever 40K game and I had a blast ripping through bugs. I hope there’s a mod that adds more bugs.

GTA IV reoptimized to run in modern hardware with less or at least more reasonable piss filter would be a nice upgrade. None of the visual mods could get ride of the weird haze around everything.

Find a new art, whether that’s creating or consuming. Or go to places where people hang out. Thrift shops/pawn shops can be fun to browse and sometimes you’ll find a hidden gem. Libraries are good too.

tl;dr Dark Ages doesn’t have anything left that made Doom 2016 fun for me

I had a real sense that The Dark Ages wasn’t going to be my game. Am I the only one tired of games just piling on completely new feature sets and complicated feature sets to remember, level over level?

I enjoyed Doom 2016 because for a large portion of the game, the mechanics were simple enough that you could get into flow state even at the higher difficulties. I couldn’t make it halfway through Eternal before I was annoyed at having to switch strategy every 5 seconds.

Dark Ages looks more like an Action RPG than Doom. Not to mention the constant tutorial interruptions. Can we go back to ammo, health and maybe grenades for once in a AAA game? It always feels like AAA means complicated game mechanics, rather than letting a simple gameplay loop speak for itself in a AAA environment with all the other benefits that come with it.

Last thing to add, the intro level of Dark Ages looked incredibly bland, like it was a midpoint level of one of the other games. The game just sort of assumes that the other games have been played and that you enjoyed them and starts from there, rather than standing on its own.

Jeez. NSFW tag please. 🫣

It’s also worth mentioning that those devices all had wildly different designs, controls, and layouts. Every new model was a whole new thing to look at.

All our phones now are glass bricks with roughly the same set of controls. Not too exciting to stare at, especially when off.

I have collected several YouTube channels that focus on educational content over the last several years. Many of which no longer get put in recommendations. My feed is almost entirely nonpolitical there.

I find all my bad news on Lemmy, unfortunate as it is.

For me, it was American Ultra. Couldn’t get past the first 10 minutes.

Oh super neat! It’s interesting it’s not Android based. Most car systems run on it these days.

I wish I had your gumption to vote against my own best interest.

I’m going to need an assist. What am I looking at?

A super old one, but Grow Home from Ubisoft was a really cute little game that felt like nothing else from them.

Nuance?! On THE INTERNET?!

ABSURD!!!
