I dunno, I liked it deep fried

Unfortunately, I agree with the other commenter. It's very hard to talk about the game without taking a bit out of the experience.

I will say that it's a space exploration game, where you fly around a tiny (handcrafted!) solar system and explore the various planets. There are a handful of mysteries around this solar system and you eventually figure out how the various clues intersect.

It's also very much a game about information. You never gain upgrades or stats or anything, your character when you start the game is exactly the same as when you finish it. But you learn things about the solar system and your knowledge of this world and it's mysteries increases, directing you on where to go next and what to do. The game also doesn't present you with explicit goals, so at the beginning you can do pretty much everything you want, but there is an ending you will eventually reach by following the clues laid out around the universe (and I seriously recommend that you don't stop before the ending).

It's also a very hard game to replay, as after you know the answer to the mysteries, there's a part of the appeal that is lost. I wish I could forget about it so I could replay it fresh!

Will check it out! Thank you for the recommendation!

How is your own dating life affected by this? Are you mono? Are the people you date weirded out or put off by this arrangement at all?

Also, I need this turned into a diagram!

I was almost not going to respond with Outer Wilds, since it feels like I played forever ago. But apparently I only played it in June of this year, so that's my choice. It's one of my favorite games now, if not my favorite game ever.

It's so good, in fact, that it's helping me get over this weird anxiety I have of talking about my hobbies with other people (including my closest friends). Outer Wilds is so good that even though I hate talking about games I like, I still feel the need to recommend it to people. And now that the floodgates are open I feel a bit more comfortable talking about my other favorite games, like Baba is You, which I got another person to play as well, and The Messenger, which I'm playing now and loving it.

• Feeling like I'm playing Pokémon with all the swords and shields... I hate shields. Shields making someone practically invincible on almost half of their body, and them having zero movement penalty when they are on someone's back is absolute horseshit. Swords, where people can run faster because it's a light weapon, and you can have the Double Time perk to move even faster, so that they can just rush you and slap you with an instant kill is also absolute horseshit. I DO love sticking a shield person with Thermite, but so many other things should work against them and they just don't.

Wait, I don't play CoD. Can you clarify what you mean by swords and shields? Shields I can imagine being some sort of body armor, but are people carrying around steel swords like they're medieval knights in a game titled "Modern Warfare"?

How do you clean your floor without a mop? Is floor cleaner liquid still allowed?

Also what do you use a mop for without a floor?

You say "stupid", but I'm kind of worried it'll have a positive impact in their sales, making these types of ads the new standard... I hope not, but my expectations are getting worse and worse

I remember that at the beginning of Voyager. Janeway tries that on B'elana and she responds with something similar.

People have mentioned good options such as books, and they have mentioned hobbies, but since apparently you like video games, why not try developing some games?

It's free, just download a game engine such as Unity, Unreal Engine or Godot (my vote goes to Godot as it's open source but you can't go wrong, try whichever sounds more appealing and if you don't like one check the others out) and follow some tutorials. That's where YouTube can shine again!

It's a great way to exercise your creativity and learn some programming. If you don't like programming, you can join a team and just be a designer, thinking up gameplay concepts. Or the other way around, someone else can help you design the game while you code it.

Or... Maybe you don't like programming. Why not try making digital art? It could be pixel art, 3D modeling (both of which go really well with a game development hobby, but with 3D modeling you can transition into 3D printing) or just plain old art, digital or not.

It's just an example. It's amazing how many things are available for us to learn on the internet, you cá try anything you ever had a passing interest on. Always had trouble drawing? Go watch some tutorials and try again! Want to learn a new language? Get on Duolingo to learn some basics and then watch some TV shows or movies in other languages!

I know when you are really, truly bored, all of these will sound dreadful. But stick with it past the initial boredom and you will find something that will make you unable to stop.

Keep us updated!

Amazing write-up, I love reading things like these.

I saw that you have similar posts in your profile so I'll check them all when I have some time!

... Can you subscribe to a person on Lemmy?

At 1/2^42 odds, you're unlikely to have a large enough army to man a V Wing, much less defend the Republic

If you want another answer, I've been happy with Megalodon

Wait... So it's Star: Trek Into Darkness and Star: Trek Beyond?? That makes so much sense

Appending “site:reddit.com” to a Google search has become a popular trick for weeding SEO farms and other attention-seeking websites out of Google results, but if this change goes through, you might not be able to access Reddit from search at all.

Even this article knows.

If this goes through then my reddit usage will officially reach 0, as Google results are how I end up there nowadays anyway.

If anyone here has read Good Omens, this reminds me of the houseplants scene!

I'm sick! It is my sister's birthday and I wanted to go have lunch with her, but my grandma will be there and I don't want to make her sick. I've already canceled the lunch and the therapy appointment I had afterwards.

I'm going to try to do as little as possible today. Tomorrow I want to be in top shape... Because I need to go to work!

I just hug the other pillow in my bed.

You know... The one my ex used to use.

(it's been 5 months for me, I've long stopped associating the pillow to my ex, it really does just help me sleep)

Yeah, have you never heard of the two popular Linux distributions, Ubintu and Munt?

Nothing against the people in the original meme, but your title would be an amazing name for this trope. Well done
