Hopped on path of exile with a friend. We're slowing going through the acts and likely won't get to mapping by the time the new league drops. It's fine though.
Been messing around with Sky: Child of Light, that one mmo that is very reminiscent of journey made by the same people and got extremely frustrated. I 'finished' the game after getting stun locked, and proceeded to find some trials which required precise control of your character... Which is not a thing. Pressing jump doesn't always work. The physics aren't great, and the leeway for timings is much harsher than it needs to be. All in all, that was not the best experience. I ended up on the Farmville quest. First objective I could do alone, second one required another person. Third one needs 3 people..
It's also the 8th anniversary of Egg Inc. and they have their annual event running. I managed to triple my earnings bonus in one day.. Which is fairly significant.
I'm sure in many cases they'd do it for free because they agree in general, it's just looks strange to see values in the hundreds by these absolutely behemoth companies.
I do this very silly thing where I watch the first episode of every new anime that pops up, do a short write up on it, and then most likely never watch it again. I've found some wonderful gems this way but there is an absolute shit ton of garbage.
That being said, the most memorable instant stop watching I had was the first season of one about a highschool maid Cafe that extorted the MC into joining, dumped this whole "we do bit acting to make it more entertaining", and then having the MC call one of the other girls her sister, which was immediately a problem. Like there was some obvious trauma and they just keeeeeep on poking at it. Fuck that. It's rude as hell, the entire show can go kick rocks.
There are way worse than that which are obvious ones to just not watch. Healer redo is one of those.
One of the gems I found was a mech anime based on the Japanese bullet train, and it's completely bog standard. However, the first episode has an April fools variant of the subtitling that made it worth the watch. Sadly the rest of the show is done properly.
Biggest fail I've seen so far from sub to dub was from "ya boy kongming", which is a delightful watch on its own. Apparently the company which did the dub didn't think the literal rap battle needed to be translated... Or subtitled. I was very disappointed.
I checked it out last night. The photo editor is close enough to photoshop that I'll be glad to buy it. From my preliminary perusing of the tools and features, the only thing I used in photoshop that isn't in affinity photo was the ability to animate things. I'm sure there are some other more important details between the two, but as a hobbyist for graphic design it fits my needs just fine.
The decarbonization of our power grid will thankfully not be up to a single technology, but a multitude which are all seeing development simultaneously. Solar is reaching for better efficiency and less harmful creation, batteries of all shapes, sizes, and concepts are popping up from everywhere. It feels more like a race now than a slow decline into uninhabitability.
This article is about manor lords, an indie solo dev who released their game into early access and in 2.5 months hasn't released a groundshaking perfect version. Whoever is complaining about the speed of development should be ignored.
As for others who have yet to release a game but are being pushed by the publisher to hurry up and get it out are an entirely different matter.
For the article, I like to look to games like terraria, which took quite a long time between patches, and honestly said they were completely done patching the game and the patched it a few more times. People may lose interest for a bit, but each large patch will bring people back as long as it was a good game.
Hey! Those poorly translated east Asian novels that all seem waaaaay to similar to be anything other than one persons fever dream replayed 47 times are just interesting enough to keep me going back.
I wonder if they are following the first game story wise.. If they are the movie is automatically going to flop. Aiden was such a piece of garbage the entire time.
Asexual. There's a lot of us around these parts for whatever reason.
There are levels and layers to sexuality, with some being absolutely disgusted by the idea of anything romantic related at all, while I'd say the opposite end of it being those who are actively willing to engage in sex, but don't get anything physically out of it themselves.
The biggest thing to note from any asexual person is the general apathy on the importance of sex as a thing to experience. Being one myself, I can't really claim to know amazing it is, but I can guess that if it's what some people think about constantly, get addicted to, and continue to engage in after having enough kids that it's financially impossible to support them.. It must be pretty good for some people.
I've been thinking that since I first stepped into VR.
