It seems like it’s generally accepted that game 3 is the best of this trilogy, and game 2 the worst, but I’m in agreement with @kid4today@feddit.uk - there’s something about the balance of ‘Rise’ that made me like it a bit more than the rest. I hope you like it!
I picked one, but just do any sort of web search for ‘tomb raider ludonarrative dissonance’ and you’ll see a huge number of articles and videos on the topic.
The idea is still around! Apple’s APFS file system (and HFS+in its later days) support sort-of transparent compression, and on all its platforms most system files - the ones that don’t change much - are compressed to save space for user files. There’s surprisingly little documentation about this.
Mass Effect Andromeda! I just played through the ‘Legendary Edition’ of the trilogy, and despite what I’d heard about Andromeda, I couldn’t resist it at under $4 at GameStop.
…and I’m actually enjoying it a lot!
I wonder if it might actually get better reviews if it were released today. We’re more used to open worlds, and it’s less expected that you’d try to finish every little quest line you are presented with (‘Oh, don’t do that - that’s just for people who really like collecting things!’), and more expected that you’d jump around between places and not ‘complete’ one area before going on to another.
I’m not really seeing the problem with facial animations that some reviewers complain very loudly about - and some people online say rendered the game ‘unplayable’. Maybe I’m just not attuned to see it? Or maybe they updated it after release?
It seems almost all commenters here are agreeing with the premise that ‘posters [have] to crosspost to both’.
I don’t think this is true. It leads to people subscribed to both having two identical posts with different responses in their feed, which is annoying. Just post to the one that you’re ‘closest’ to, or pick one at random.
Part of beauty of federation is that you can see all the content from multiple places. Cross-posting is not required!
eBay ran for a long time with a ‘buyer beware’ philosophy, requiring you to pay the seller directly, and leaving feedback being the only recourse. The de-facto payment became PayPal, but I remember mailing checks back in the day!
I can’t quite imagine how the TNG -> Picard timeline for her works out given this, presuming this is meant to fit into the same timeline. Can someone who knows the comics universe lay it out?
Really don’t think that ‘playing the right way’ is a new phenomenon. I haven’t played an online FPS in 20 years, but I vividly remember controversy around camping when I was playing Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 Arena way back then.
Why did Sainz stay out for so long, with damage that was obviously going to send him to the back for no points? Is there some penalty for retiring in the first half of a race?
All things being equal they should just be exchanging first place repeatedly for the rest of the race, with the second place person having DRS all the time. But I’m sure that won’t happen. How does Verstappen do it?!
Having not watched any F1 news since the end of the sprint yesterday, I was surprised to hear of the hole in Checo’s side pods after the Hamilton incident. Searching for news on Google is just giving me tons of regurgitated clickbait with no good pictures. Anyone know where I can see good pictures/analysis of it?
Was a sleeper - not sure it still counts, because it caught some good press, but Pentiment. Way more fun and engrossing than any short description makes it sound. And I feel like I even learned a bunch from it!
Triple Click is great! I think it fits what they're looking for. It is not a 'news' podcast, and will often have a sort of 'theme' for the week that covers older games too - but they do cover major news, have opinionated year-end lists etc.
