ooo I’m eating lettuce from my lil’ hydroponics system right now! It uses a small pump to circulate nutrients and that gamer-powered light energy.

It’s the only way I can keep plants alive… give them back to nature…

Curious - why? I’ve played LOL and the Blizzard one, but I never tried Dota 2

By the point of ‘superhuman’ gameplay, it’s less about physical reactions and more about mental foresight or gamesense. Ducking, sliding, bhopping and any tech involved to navigate… planning how your opponent will move around your positioning in relation to their own objectives… Individual players have quirks by this point that can be discovered and exploited, and you are both playing a game to discover & exploit; Deceive & switch-up.

When someone is exclusively reacting to you perfectly rather than incorporating the above, you know. It’s wildly demotivating because now we’re not playing this high-skill game, we’re playing a game of endurance since they always know player locations and will almost always get the first shot… The only two winning moves is you leave or the hacker leaves. It’s a waste of everyone’s time just for some narcissist to feel good (I can say that, I used to do it so I get the power thrill).

It sucks and anyone who’s pushed their competitive gameplay to the edge will recognize a hacker when they see one. So yes, players can tell the difference (including chess players!!), it’s the anti-cheat that can’t. Kind-of like how that one MS guy discovered a backdoor due to a 500ms delay, but a virus protector sees everything hunky-dory.

Also, no, matchmaker will not separate these people appropriately. The cheaters will smurf just to dunk on lower-skill players. You can buy game-keys on russian websites for dirt cheap, so it’s very worth it if you have the $$$ to burn. Path of least resistance to feeling power.

I think they’re referring to the widespread cruel mistreatment of pigs in butchering facilities like was reported on here.

It goes beyond harvesting bacon, but I wouldn’t be surprised if most people are unaware of how bad it is.

Nitrogen content in your piss is pretty high and can end up killing your grass in excess. It looks like OP’s husband pisses in two spots right beside the stairs so the nitrogen will accumulate there.

Judging by the shrubs there could be a little garden down there the wife cares about, or she wants the habit cut so there’s not a yellow splotch that guests are being funneled between.

… Or plain old prudery. Who truly knows~

I saw overwhelmingly positive so I bought it. It has been a blast!

When the free HD DLC section is filled with people BEGGING to pay someone for their work, you know you’ve found something good

Purchasing it still supports the use of Denuvo so I’ll play someday maybe, but I will not support the practice with my money.

An iconic style I’ll recognize even when it’s just two plants

I feel like I was mugged for time. There wasn’t even a story in the article about the origins of the leak, instead we get a 2 paragraph synopsis before diving into how much the author wants a new VR headset. The entire article could have been a twitter post using this line in the article:

Valve has confirmed that this is indeed fakery at large in a statement to PC Gamer.

Now I’m here bleeding out to virtual wounds… I’m not gunna make it… ugggghhhhhh x.x

I have some suspicions the kitty one is a little less wholesome considering their origins

I thought, “hmm maybe another team is working on this” but is there?

I looked on Steam and found Frontside 180 as the developers, but there’s no footprint I can find like this article mentions.

A little bit sketch. I don’t regret buying palworld, but I’m a little salty about this. I guess we’ll see what happens next.

Yeah, it’s very much like Ark or Conan Exiles.

The genre in mainstream is weak, but we’re talking about Pokemon with guns.

Even if the genre is weak, there’s plenty of demand for a great open-survival-craft. However, there’s problems with every major game right now: Ark devs are pretty shady; See Ark 2, Rust has a hacker/gambling problem, and Conan Exiles is being mangled by Tencent into a battle-pass atrocity while breaking the already duct-taped game.

This game can only go up from where we’re at in my eyes. We’ll see how it truly fares against Time though.

Nah, the prison scene followed by the hot escape headed by a natural beauty ends 5 minutes in

Anyone that doesn’t wake up after this is lost forever in the shadow realm where they continue to watch the truffle shuffle to this very day…

I’m glad one of my favorite VNs keeps getting good news!

Spoiler free is a big deal here. I’d say I ruined my experience a tad by playing through the entire demo.

Regardless, a phenomenal experience. I hope more people get a chance to enjoy it and I hope their other up-coming game gets the support it needs with this.

HUGE you say? o:

Huh, I never thought of it that way before but it kinda is.

Reminds me of someone who was arguing that Everhood wasn’t a rhythm game since the player isn’t moving with the beat. There was never any resolution to that, but I’d totally dub Everhood a Music Visualizer Experience. MVE also sounds kind of rad.

This is very cool :) I love how cozy it feels

Is that a lego bamboo tree?

My touch screen randomly disabled itself and when I attempted to shut my phone off, it instead triggered a 911 call.

The only way to stop it? Swiping right on the touch screen.

I was just a bit frustrated and had no idea 5 taps triggered emergency calls. What a terrible event. Q.Q

It’s goin’ “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

Commercial to what extent I’m still unsure, but thank you for the clarification.
