Eh, idk. The Witcher universe has a framework for an RPG, but the books have always been about Geralt and Co. You could do something different in that universe, but I think the story and the games have some very strong structure that comes from the player being Geralt and living his story.

Witchers are a rare dying breed. Trying to shove another new generic Witcher in would force you into writing a whole new series of stories, and backgrounds, just for that one character, which would make it get lost in the mix imho.

I always took Disco as just a “stumble into the plot” kind of game. You’re not supposed to go anywhere.

I’ll add Spiritfarer. It’s not “pink” per se, but it’s a much more “happy feelings” game. It’s about taking lost sould and ferrying them on your ship, talking to them about their lives and feelings, and you can give them hugs of course.

Garry’s mod/source games is about the closest we have to that. Or i guess Roblox too…?

Nonono you don’t understand, lootboxes make us money! Thats not gambling.

Playing cards though? Oh that’s definitely gambling. Go fish? Gambling. Solitaire? Definitely gambling. 52 pick-up? Straight to gambling.

Could’ve also just caught the photo in a flash of down activity depending. Still tho.

It’s the problem when you have public voting on these, the ones more people know about are the ones that rise up. If it’s panel selected then it’s (almost always) rigged by whoever is giving the award to show off their game instead of the actual good one.

I mean look at the Steam awards, Liars Bar won “Most Innovative Gameplay”. Liars Bar, the game that is literally bluffing cards and dice, a game that has been around for literal centuries, “most innovative”

Yeah VGA is still pretty much gold standard for supportability in my experience. It’s like a console port with baud rate settings, worst case scenario those two should always work.

I also have like 150 hours in PlanetSide 2. But it’s because I left it running one day on accident and it counted all the extra hours as “playing”

I would highly recommend Payday 2, forget the DLC unless you really like it, but the game is amazing, one of the best horde shooters around imho. Payday 3 is a really pale comparison because it came out and pretty much the entire audience went to it and went “this sucks” then went right back to payday 2 because it’s just that much better.

I’ve always said I’ll play eve if there’s an afterlife. The idea is fascinating to me but I ain’t got that kind of time

Obviously you just mandate your game and console be always online and at that point you may as well just live stream the game to their house, don’t need to download if you never actually own it right?? Make them pay per the minute of game time and only unlock the next level after they’ve played long enough! Hell! Why even sell a game?? Just have people pay you for the right to advertise that they paid for it and charge them a daily subscription to keep the rights! Nobody owns anything but you! Art and entertainment is merely a vessel to siphon money from the masses! Purchase their souls for a hit of dopamine! Rent them their own eyes!

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic but “digital only” means the only way to put games on the device is via digital downloads (aka from the web store downloaded via internet).

Each company tries this because it effectively eliminates the third party/aftermarket sales and gets them a monopoly on prices. Never have to lower the price on a game to move physical copies of you don’t have physical copies to store, so games no matter how old can stay at full price for as long as they like. Don’t have to cut your margins by selling at a reduced price to a third party to resell so all the profit comes home.

I know why companies do it, it makes sense financially. But turns out a lot of people aren’t fans of not being allowed to have the option to physically own their own media, even if they don’t always do it.

Captain: “What happened? How did you die?”

Wan: shrugs

The old in Japan have that problem. There have been other studies that have shown that you get people have significantly less problems with it. Japan has always been insular, but their politics and older age groups have always been more stagnant and less accepting.

Basically, don’t throw the whole country under the bus when it’s just the old farts that don’t want things to change.

Despite all the interesting advice in this thread the thing that helped me the most was accepting and getting used to the fact that if you’re going to lose weight you’re going to be hungry.

You’re not starving to death, you’re not dying, but there are times where you’re going to just have to be hungry and deal with it. Our bodies are very good at doing their best to keep us alive, and hunger is our bodies way of saying “we need to look for food”. The problem is we didn’t evolve that skill at a time when looking for food only takes a few minutes and can involve thousands of calories.

If you’re overweight your body is going to sound alarm bells that it’s eating into the reserves, but you need to acknowledge that and let the reserves get used so you can lose weight.

You are completely correct. The “happy path” or what to do if everything goes right is fairly straightforward for autonomous cars. It’s when it gets into exceptions or unexpected scenarios like this that it becomes a problem. It’s a car so you can’t just stop it in the middle of the road, but you cant tell it to ignore road signs either
