I appreciate you adding your review!

Seems like you and I had similar opinions. I don't have the dlc, but ended up reading up on it. It seems like they were good additions to the game, but I didn't feel strongly enough to go back and get them.

If you liked the fishing theme with some plot, Dave the Diver has some parallels. I think the gameplay loop is a bit better, but it goes more for goofy/zany rather than Lovecraftian.

I didn't even know it had a mobile release (it's slow paced enough I could see that working okay)!

I was actually able to finish it over the weekend and overall I think I'd give it a 6-7/10:

• Gameplay: Solid. The mechanics are fun, but don't really evolve beyond the first couple hours of gameplay
• Graphics: Great. The open sea is both inviting and omnionous, while the characters and fish all have a nice flair to them
• Story: Okay. The story being revealed in messages and encounters is fun, but the stakes never really seem to change, and I think if the world got pulled more into your descent it would make it more impactful.

Thanks for adding this, most people don't understand that flat taxes hurt poor people more.

Also, essentials for survival really shouldnt be taxed at all in my opinion.

Yeah, I was upset they didnt continue John Carter, it was just a fun zany scifi movie. I think it was the advertising that killed it, but if they had stuck with it I think it could have done well.

Yeah, especially since they are revoking visas and going after naturalized citizens. It's like they ran out of people to attack on day one.

Pretty sure it's AI given the placement of objects and characters looking in random directions.

Its a shame cause it could be a decent comic if the creator took more time to either fix it up or fix the layout.

If that's your kind of game, Unfinished Swan is another thats more plot based, but still has some fun puzzles. Doesn't get mentioned as frequently so usually one people haven't seen/played before.

Antichamber is another that feels similar. Although Antichamber doesn't really have a plot.

Yeah, I finished the game wishing it would be a higher recommendation, but it just falls short on a lot of things. I don't mind the price I paid for it, but it's a hard sell even at $29.99 (summer sale price).

The top things to me were setting, animation (feels like clay/stop motion in a cool way), and setting. But the fighting is only okay (never really evolves beyond button smashing and dodging), the story doesn't really build on itself, and the platforming is generic and linear.

It also doesn't help this is an Xbox studios game, since it seems like a bit more time/money would have gone far for this game.

I just finished South of Midnight , it's a mediocre action game with a decent story, but pretty good music specifically written for the game. It kinda feels like Alice Madness Returns meets Disney's Princess and the Frog (without the frog changing).

Just started up on Dredge and having some fun with it so far.

Yeah, I think it's actually envy with a side of pragmatism (he envies that everyone likes superman and wants that power, but also legitimately fears what a bad superman could do). But Xenophobic is just a funny way to phrase it.

I mean, it seems likely something is being covered up. In court it was alluded to that Maxwell wasn't just trafficking for Epstein. If that's the case, there were other clients and that info hasn't been released.

Largely because it's a bit valid to be concerned that the indestructible alien could decide he's bored serving the world and just take it over.

Xenophobic Lex is just a compelling villain, a bit like doom. Someone who has a sound reason for their actions, but usually takes really questionable routes.

So I ended up reading up on the original comics because I knew they were a bit darker than the cartoons. It seems shredder is only in volume 1 of 4. In it he's basically a New York Yakuza boss that kills splinters master. So splinter trains the turtles to kill shredder. After that he does get resurrected once, but after that he stays dead.

Volume 2 cover a full on battle with DARPA (for experimenting on aliens and turtles), Volume 3 has a possible daughter of shredder trying to get revenge, but volume 4 retcons volume 3 and focuses on a future where aliens come to earth and the turtles can roam the streets as "aliens" (which isn't that weird for the series as aliens first appear in volume 1).

So, yeah, it gets kinda weird.

I think the better stat would be time handling a gun/driving a car.

The average person probably spends about an hour in the car per day (based on some loose numbers I saw online). But I suspect the number of hours holding a gun is a lot less.

Its kinda like the fact that new Yorkers bite more people than sharks. It isn't because new Yorkers are more likely to bite you, but with eight million people interacting daily the amount of interactions outweighs the odds of a bite.

The wording is a little weird, but it's about Capcom finances. They make more selling games on steam than selling on the Playstation. So steam/pc is a bigger market than Playstation consoles for Capcom.

Given they mourn their dead, I think there is evidence that they do. If they can value a life, then there must be some framework within which that value stems from.

If we're willing to agree on that, then the follow-up question would be, "do elephants have supernatural or religious beliefs?", as you claim that's required for morals.

Hmm, I think the family leading up to the show seems like it might be kinda Arrested Development, but during the show I don't think they really ever do anything "evil".

Looks like there is a config and cache location in their docker scripts. The easiest way to make a docker application portable is to bind mount the config and cache. That way you have access to the actual files and could copy them to your windows partition.

If you're already using a volume for that data, I think it becomes a bit trickier. I know technically you can move or copy volumes, but I've never tried. Although you could still bind mount a random directory and still copy the files out.

I was so confused by the image initially as I hadn't seen a window well that deep before. This follow-up picture made it all click, thanks for sharing.
