It's sad that not only large companies go through the #enshittification cycle, I'm starting to notice it in many content creators too.
I started following their feeds, YouTube channels, newsletters, etc. because I enjoyed what they said, the topics they brought up, and the way they discussed them. But as they gain traction, the quality of their products take a hit as they all inevitably veer towards self-promotion of courses, seminars, books, etc.
@hk in this case I tend to hate the game, not the player. If YT/Twitch creators don’t go down this route they effectively lose their audience as The Algorithm™️ deems it Not Good Content.
Just 4 episodes into Shogun and I’m so glad to be able to say that without any shadow of a doubt, all my misgivings and fears about this series have been put to rest.
I was afraid that it would fall into the same trap as something like The Last Samurai, but that’s not the case at all. The opposite in fact.
Terrific story do far, beautifully shot and wonderfully acted.
If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend you give it a chance.
Finally finished BioShock tonight after 17 years and two previous failed attempts!
Finally clicked as I played it more like an immersive sim than a straight FPS, and while it has some flaws (endless pipe mania, basically a corridor shooter and slightly awkward combat), the visual design, plasmids and tonics elevated it into something more than the sum of its parts. #ShareYourGames
There are not many better moments in gaming than hypnotising a big daddy and pitting it against another one, then when one has prevailed finishing it off and taking all the goodies. Or carefully hacking all turrets and cameras in an earlier area and luring splicers into the Death Zone™️
I managed to save all the Little Sisters too. :ablobcatheart:
I suppose it means BioShock 2 at some point I guess, but I hear it’s not quite as good.
I was in the mood for some arcade gaming yesterday after work, so I started playing some Gun.Smoke, 19XX, GigaWing, Final Fight on Capcom Arcade Stadium.
Then I moved on to Ketsui Deathtiny on PS4, by Cave and M2, which is exclusive to the system.
It's one of the Cave games I'm not actually good at, but I love it nonetheless and the new modes are just brilliant!
The Deathtiny one especially is actually very easy with a tiny hitbox. So much fun!
@OutofPrintArchive thank you! I will keep a look out. I also have GTA IV, LittleBigPlanet, Batman: Arkham City and Metal Gear Solid 4, but I purposefully ordered those online.
Bit of an odd one, but can any other #macOS#Safari users confirm the following behaviour?
If you pin a tab in a regular personal tab group, the tab will shrink to a small square, but if you pin a tab in a named tab group it’ll stay the same size as the others.
If this is expected behaviour, why?
I’ve tried with a Personal and a Work window, and it happens across both.
I have next week off from work and had been looking at a bunch of games but didn’t want to pull the trigger.
They had a bunch of Visual Novels for super cheap.
One example is Robotics Notes which is sold out at most places.
I saw one listing for €80!
2022 experimental rock album from London, England. A crazy experience that takes from prog rock, show tunes, jazz fusion, and more. A hellish nightmare concept album, at times sung, at other times ranted in a blend of carnival barker and auctioneer; often hectic, occasionally soft, frequently discordant.
My picks: "Eat Men Eat," "Welcome to Hell," "Dangerous Liasons"
@LadyMarth01 I have trouble separating art from the artist. It’s why I no longer listen to Marilyn Manson or Lostprophets (not that I listened to the latter a lot, but it’s a good example). However, Wagner was a massive prick, even for his time. I think the passage of time helps with that, especially if they weren’t around during my own lifetime.
Last night I was ready to start a new RPG. It’s been quite a while so I was in the perfect mood for it.
And since I watched that Ys video I really wanted to play an entry into the series.
Since I can’t restart 8 on PS5 yet, I decided to go with Memories of Celceta.
I only played the intro back in the day on Vita. Played for about 3 hours last night and I’m really enjoying it. Can’t wait to go home late tonight and play some more.
