About 30% only are fps, plenty of variety in there.

Did you play with hard exploration turned on? I felt that hard exploration + hard combat is probably the best way to play. Puzzles were not incredibly complicated, but some of them did have that "aha!" moment (from the words of GMTK). The enemies were indeed a bit dumb, but I felt like that was part of that Indiana Jones movie charm (most of Indy's villains in the movies are really dumb, case in point, the guy that steals the golden idol just to die five seconds after betraying him).

A tip I can give you is that the game never actually forces you to play stealth. You can literally kill all the fascist/Nazis you see, and progress normally. I played on hard combat mode, and just killed my way through the game, playing stealth only on parts that were swarming with enemies, and only for a little while, after knocking down some enemies and stacking some guns, it was all Rambo's action.

It's obviously a game made for people who like the movies, but it's a very solid standalone game even if you remove Indiana from it. Good puzzles, nice action, great voice acting, good levels/environments. The one thing I learned after finishing the game though is that the secret "ending" is not worth the effort. Just play the story and the game at your own pace, and then look up the secret ending after you're finished.

Nah. Nintendo has been a shitty company for the last 10 years at the very least. They make good games, but as a company they should fail and go out of business. They are extremely litigious, shutting down many fan projects simply for existing, which apparently is enough to have a chance to hurt their profits on decades old games. Their services suck as well, overpriced and lacking. They close down their online store fronts before everybody else, case in point, the xbox 360 online store was closed down recently, at the end of last year, meanwhile, the Wii has been dead for 6 years already, and it was a console released a year after the 360. There are many other examples on why you shouldn't support Nintendo, a 15-minute search on the internet will give you plenty.

I cancelled mine last month, it was literally a couple of clicks. I got some ads about "all the things I would be losing" for some time after and that was it.

Truthfully 800, but there is an old model that costs "only" 300...

Yes, it's amazing. Indy feels and plays like indy. Some of the parts in the late game made me even see how much he reacts like Indy to things. Also, the puzzles are interesting, the story is good, voice acting is mind boggling incredible, and even the action feels on point. I'm 50h into the game and still not finished (playing on max difficulties and going after every puzzle), even fights can feel really good when you have to plan every single step of the fight or else you get smoked in 3 seconds.

I played PoE2 for a couple of days after release, but have recently picked up the new Indiana Jones after cancelling my game pass subscription (gotta finish before my timer runs out). I've been having a blast with the game though. Playing on hard combat + hard exploration has made the game very realistic to me. The puzzles are adequately challenging, taking at most a few minutes to solve even without hints, but they do feel good, all very logical.

He actually did. I can barely tell it's not Ford doing the voice acting.

I played a lot of TA as a kid, didn't know the devs had made a new RTS, but the art style from the game in the link sure looks very reminiscent of TA.

To me it feels like FromSoftware's take on Risk of Rain, and I'm here for it.

Someone could make something out of that...

I imagine you could buy a bunch of similar Jackets and distribute them to the homeless in an area prior to doing anything, and just crash with them for some time after.

Let me tell you why this isn't fraud:

1. Teens makes a memecoin on a legit crypto platform (as legit as they can get)
2. Teens buys X amount of his own memecoin for 350 bidens
3. People that like to invest on memecoins (aka idiots/gamblers) bought into the coin
4. Coin value goes up
5. Teen sees that the X amount of coins he has is now worth 30k
6. He sells it on a legit trading platform, cashes in on 30k
7. Because he sold a huge amount at once, market is flooded, coin goes down in value
8. The other gamblers that were looking into doing the exact same shit got mad at him

I'm not saying crypto isn't a scam, as memecoins are textbook pyramid schemes (buy in early for low, sell as soon as it's worth it cashing in on the idiots who bought late), but the way this works can't be defined as fraud because it's simply how the whole stock market works.

That reads as an excuse, "they are not really capitalists" type of argument. Yes, they are. They sell products, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta... They all sell products, they are all capitalists to the very core. It's just that, one of their products is us.

That part of the support email almost made me puke of how fucking awful it was. "Why complain about ads when you get YouTube Music for free by paying us money"

I really wish I could stop using shit google stuff for work...

It's only bad if it's not an USian company, didn't you get the memo?

You forgot your /s there, friend. Be careful with the Internet these days, reading comprehension is a hard to find skill in this age.
