To be fair, the playable space in Anthem was in three dimensions. Meanwhile Destiny’s maps are deceptively small, using tunnels that wind in on themselves and non-explorable space to feel larger.
Yeah, more zones would have been good, but none of that compares to having some of the tightest combat and traversal gameplay I’ve ever experienced.
I never understood the hate. The gameplay was incredible.
The biggest complaints pretty much boiled down to it not having literal infinite replayability. Like, you have to give it a minute.
I played Destiny at launch, and Anthem at launch was better.
It’s been over a year and I still think about him pleading with himself, trying to decide what to do.
Given how much cuter a goldfish is than a silverfish, whatever a bronzefish is must be a absolutely disgusting.
My friend was in the army and told me he got a special exception and didn’t have to shave as often. But that was the army, and his job mostly involved setting up communications equipment, so maybe that matters.
Thanks for the insight. Glad Lemmy can give context for worrying articles like these.
Games I’m currently playing:
I think I like it, but I don’t love it yet. It’s undeniably well made. The story is told well, the acting, music, and graphics are all top notch. Really well done.
But the story isn’t really hooking me yet. Something about that kind of fantasy story irks me. Like, the premise seems so outlandish and arbitrary that I can’t tell if it’s actually good or if it’s just manipulative. I’ve seen so much praise for the intro, but to me it’s like: “Every year on this day, something emotional and devastating happens!” Then it happens, apropos of nothing, and everyone is like, “Oh my god this intro is so emotional and devastating.”
Just doesn’t feel organic to me.
It’s also not my type of game. I’m slightly less than neutral towards turn-based RPGs, and I’m firmly against parrying. Still, the execution is good enough that I’m going to stick it out a while longer.
I just can’t seem to get past this no matter how hard I try.
Getting back into my 6 year old realm. Building a big stables near a cherry grove.
I’ve been playing this with my wife, and it’s fantastic. Never boring, always clever and inventive. Just went through a whole pinball sequence that is just a master class in game design.
One of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played. Also one of the best roguelikes. The gameplay is ridiculously tight, and the new characters are awesome. I wouldn’t personally describe it as a coop Hades, but I wouldn’t outright disagree with someone who did.
Shit, I just realized I’ve been playing a lot of games lately.
Yeah, I’d probably leave that up for a few years. I have trouble throwing away any of her artwork.
It’s pretty rare that I haven’t heard of a movie, but this is only the second time I’ve heard of this movie, and the first time was on reddit yesterday. Was that you?
In my experience it still comes apart.
I wash with soap when I shower. Do you use soap with your bidet?
Toilet paper doesn’t stick when it’s not wet. It falls apart when it is wet.
Soap. In the shower I use soap.
Medium, I guess?
This is exactly it.
I used a bidet in Europe in my thirties, and then my ass was all wet. I could dry it with toilet paper and leave bits of toilet paper in my ass hair, or I could dry it with a dedicated ass towel, which is clearly less sanitary than just wiping.
It’s wet and uncomfortable, and it’s not any better than just wiping. Running a bit of water over something doesn’t really clean it anyway.
After a shower you dry off with a towel, obviously.
Do you dry your ass with a towel after using a bidet? An ass towel? Because that’s disgusting.
How does having bits of toilet paper stuck to my ass improve the situation?
Bidets are overrated. There, I said it.
You’re digging the knife into the pit to get a grip on it without damaging the avocado flesh around it.
To do so, place the knife as shown in the picture, then hit the back of it with your hand to drive it in. I usually just take a swing at it with the knife itself, but it’s probably a little more consistent to do it this way.
Avocado pits are slippery. You can’t usually just grab them with your fingers.
So just do what the picture shows, and then do what the instructions say, in that order.
“Woke” has had a consistent meaning since its introduction into the English language almost a hundred years ago. It means “Aware of systemic racism.”
When blues legend Lead Belly ended a show in 1938 by saying, “Stay woke,” he meant: “Stay aware of systemic racism.”
When some chud on YouTube in 2025 says “‘Woke’ is ruining gaming,” he means that awareness of systemic racism is ruining gaming. For him.
And when an American politician calls himself “anti-woke”, he’s saying that he opposes the awareness of systemic racism. Not that he denies the existence of it, but that he’d prefer no one talk about it, so that it can continue.
… is that Dean Cain?
