Yeah, you’re probably right… And I know what you mean, got an Asperger’s diagnosis as an adult and while that’s relatively mild on the spectrum, it still makes things difficult sometimes.

Yeah, I know, I agree. But it’s a joke, ofc it’s exaggerated. Nobody is seriously saying it’s that much effort to play with a cat. At least I hope not

Well, they probably mean that it feels like more work for us because we also have other shit to do, we’re tired, etc. while the cats only sleep and eat the rest of the time. And also, depending on the cat, sometimes they just hide in a corner for a few minutes, run after the toy for 3 seconds then they hide again for a minute, then they run again for 3 seconds and so on. Meanwhile you keep trying to entice them and they’re just sitting there while you dance for them with the toy.

Also, from what I’ve read, unless you’re using treats at the same time as a reward sort of thing, lasers might be stressful for the cats because they don’t get to catch anything.

I mean, when even people on Lemmy (who are supposed to be a bit more tech literate and stuff) insist that the solution is cutting a couple 2 letter words from your search query to make everything much shorter and efficient, are you even surprised?

I’ve been thinking for a while that people seem to be getting dumber and it might actually be true I don’t think that it’s a coincidence that fascism and other forms of conservatism seem to be on the rise pretty much everywhere in the world.

I just tested. “Angelina jolie heat” gives me tons of shit results, I have to scroll all the way down and then click on “show more results” in order to get the filmography.

“Is angelina jolie in heat” gives me this bluesky post as the first answer and the wikipedia and IMDb filmographies as 2nd and 3rd answer.

So, I dunno, seems like you’re wrong.

Glad to hear it :D

Abzu? Dave the diver, maybe? Dredge?

Or, this might be a might more out of left field or maybe completely stupid and not at all what you had in mind, but what about coral island? You don’t get to experience the water surface except when fishing or doing other stuff on the shore. But you get to do stuff on the bottom and there’s mermaids and stuff.

Stardew valley with a tropical island vibe. So definitely fun and immersive. Definitely more adjacent than something like sea of thieves or black flag or subnautica, but I feel like it fits better than just cause 3, imo

Move? It’s always been a migration with these games. That’s why they try to schedule their patches to not coincide with other similar games’ launches/patches.

But yes, very excited!

Right, but the fifa series afaik makes most of its money by selling packs of cards with players in them. Packs and players that you can get by just playing. But they still sell those packs for $$, so why wouldn’t it count? Afaik, that’s one of the main culprits besides counter strike that are named when talking about loot boxes

Borderlands the same, you can buy random gear with cash. I guess it’s less fomo and less abusive, but they’re still literal loot boxes that they sell for money

Borderlands, iirc

I’m here, so I’m more likely to know who that is or what he looks like. But I don’t. I do now because you mentioned him and I looked up how he looks like. Your average Joe is gonna be even less likely to know who that is or what he looks like. So I’m guessing that’s why. Some CEOs just avoid the spotlight. Or maybe I’ve just been avoiding MS news, dunno

I often use cheats to remove grindy and boring bits beyond a certain point. Usually the difficulty curve is pretty bad and a game is only hard or challenging in the beginning. So I play as intended until I reach a point at which it’s just a matter of time and not skill. So I just give myself a ton of crafting mats or currency or whatever so I can focus on the fun and interesting parts of the game.

Can you blame her? Even if those spikes are soft, they must still feel weird. Plus there’s 7 of them!

Damn, that’s good. Thanks!

It’s the ska effect.

Ah, I see. Fait enough. Personally I enjoyed it. No point in making a different game just to have better graphics. PoE 1 is still there for those that don’t like the new one… and I’m looking forward to alternating between the 2, if they manage to find the pace which they promised.

What makes the first 70 levels not fun for you?

Well, in this thread, as it’s been already pointed out, you’ve engaged in whataboutism to change the subject from russia to France. It’s only a small step above a kid’s “NO YOU!” level of argumentation.

Is France’s imperialistic history deplorable? Yes. But by the end of the year they will have pulled out from all but 2 countries with which they had defense agreements, as opposed to russia which is increasing presence in the same countries, in addition to the countries in which it already had a presence. So it’s actually russia that has potentially more troops in Africa, but I can’t find actual numbers to confirm since it’s in russia’s best interest not to declare those.

So yeah, how can you compare a country that leaves when it’s uninvited to russia which is actively shelling a sovereign nation on top of doing the same shit in Africa as all the other imperialists?

You. You’re trying to change the subject from russia to France in order to defend an imperialistic country. Which is what you often do. You’re in like every other thread that’s criticizing russia or china

This again? Anyway, sure… Tetris or doom for importance. Not really the best. That goes to rdr2 for being one of the best selling games of all time while also being almost universally loved by both critics and fans. Not my personal favourite game, but objectively speaking, the title should go to rdr2, I think
