That is absolutely an issue I have, but it’s a whole separate can of worms. One I could talk about all day. Right now I’m just comparing Epics meaningless, useless review system against Steam.

Oh, yeah, I've played the first one of a plague tale and it was kinda fun. I can see it.

@LJ @david_megginson @dpnash @mzedp @necedema @Wyatt_H_Knott @grammargirl Or even better, maybe you look at a set of records, as I often have for my students and I DON'T know what I'm seeing. I can't say "this student is struggling because of X and needs Y they don't fit any pattern. Details don't work. LLMS kind of smooth that over and just shoehorn an answer that sounds good. And some people do that too, but I don't like it. Just say "I don't know really. Never seen this before."

I loved 1. I didn't like 2 when it was first released, but after a while it grew on me. I'd like to go back and play the expansions I never got to, but the 3rd guy in our group died and it just wouldn't feel right to play without him.

I watched this from the UK. Midnight start, figured I'd at least watch the first period and see how it goes. All ready to pack it in with 5 mins left in the third but figured I'd stuck it out this long so I may as well see it to the end. Absolutely insane when they tied it, and then of course I was up until after 4am and got to bed just in time for the birds to start chirping outside. I'm paying the price now but it was so worth it.

So soon? And here I was enjoying myself

The secret to writing (or playing) characters that are smarter than you are is that you can take your time coming up with what they do. Maybe in-game your character has a razor wit and would have a snappy comeback for any situation. Out of game you've got a list of pre-prepared retorts you can bust out as needed.

one of my favorite stupid methods of reversing is "break it"what's this function do? well, lemme disable it, and see what breaks.Apparently this is the "restore the image under the cursor" function.

Well, fart on that.

@azonenberg I don't think I'm naturally 24 hours. Naturally I wake up at sunrise. But, that isn't good for anything. But, when I keep doing the same thing at the same times over and over I get used to it and don't need a clock anymore which I love. But then they keep moving the times around so that little advantage never sticks.

@futurebird By far the most tragic mysterious text for me is:Rongorongohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RongorongoThe ability to read this language was permanently lost due to colonialist bullshit in the 19th century. The story is maddening.It is, or would have been, of extraordinary linguistic importance, as it appears to be a completely independent origin of writing.It's probably ideographic, and might not be true writing, but more like a mnemonic.But I guess we'll never know.

@futurebird @alter_kakerEgyptians, even Pharaohs, were from different ethnic groups over those 5k years. Exodus shows a wise Pharaoh followed by a paranoid ethnic cleanser from an invader dynasty.Shaul was awful. Ashurbanipal was awful.Power over people is sought by awful people. And sometimes they get that power and they become awful.No king, no matter how righteous, protects their people from their royal descendants.

@llewelly ouch.

Were there other categories breaking?

@Unixbigot Yep. They're good at loops.

I feel the same about most these games but I did thoroughly enjoy Predator: Hunting Grounds. Not quite the same play style since you can actually kill the predator, pretty cool game mechanic cause there's multiple ways to win. You can complete your mission and avoid the predator until you extract or if you kill the predator you have to first off avoid the giant explosion he creates then guard his body and face waves of human enemies until you can extract. I really tried to get my buddies to get into that game cause it was a lot of fun. Playing as the predator though was quite overwhelming, you had to play a lot to get upgrades to even be competent.

@futurebird if you have a narrow, specific audience in mind, and it's a simple sentence, then there may be a single best way for that audience. But if you've a range of audiences you write for, or if you have a complicated sentence, or both, you'll face complex tradeoffs among many competing good ways and no single best way.

Game 7. I'll take it. I like how Ume is adapting as far as who's feeling hot or not. Game 4 was benching Jalen. This game was benching Dillon. Ume has been able to feel out whose doing well or not. Albeit Jalen needs to drive into the paint some more.

I fucking love the Pavers!
