Hah, yes. Though I did already finish it!

Iโ€™m definitely missing out on the engagement from before, but everyone has also had to rebuild their networks

I often wonder why others are so uncurious. Itโ€™s always seemed like a character flaw to me, like they want to just exist and not know more?? Guess maybe Iโ€™m the outlier. ๐Ÿ˜…

The amount that I love someoneโ€™s game is proportionate to how much my brain short-circuits while attempting to speak with them. I ran into Sandfallโ€™s CEO Guillaume Broche at Unreal Fest and I *think* I said something coherent in there, but most of it was blabbering about loving Clair Obscur.

One of the game dev speakers at the #UnrealFest opening remarks said that they partially got their start making minigames in Minecraft. I love that thereโ€™s going to be a whole generation of new game devs who got their start in the blocky sandbox. I canโ€™t wait to see what they make.

The business model is that it distributes the card to the player who paid and they have something to hang onto. Our machine is on freeplay because weโ€™re an office that coordinated making the thing, not an arcade. Weโ€™re not using it as intended, so I donโ€™t get your comment.

Periodic table of Minecraft with classic blocks mimicing the real periodic table

Periodic table of Minecraft with classic blocks mimicing the real periodic table

Remembering this classic shirt- what would a periodic table of Minecraft look like today?

I think it's funny that, just like the real world, the periodic table would expand over time given new discoveries.

As a native Washingtonian and adopted Seattleite I understand that reference, but I regret to inform you that if anything, Sรถdermalm is literally the south sideโ€ฆ of Stockholm. ๐Ÿ˜

A huge box of Minecraft Dungeons arcade cards

A huge box of Minecraft Dungeons arcade cards

Iโ€™m honestly not sure what to do with these. This is what happens when your Dungeons arcade machine is on freeplay for like two years. ๐Ÿ˜… Once theyโ€™re dispensed theyโ€™re done, in-house freeplay is not the intended use model!

(No I canโ€™t ship them to you, cards are heavy)

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

โ€œThe Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.โ€

Anyway, canceled my Disney+ subscription. (And got the recent auto renewal refunded)

I wonder if thereโ€™s a measurable hit to sales over time due to the things he says. It costs nothing to just not say things. This is consistently ridiculous.

The modern day connections in the AC series are part of the reason I play them starting with โ€œeagle vision works in real life??โ€ in AC1. The segments allow us to examine the historical context of events youโ€™re reenacting. Without them we lose a cool hook and background plot and I am less interested.

The only people who can help with player issues are the player support team. No one outside of them have the tools or experience to help with account issues.

Itโ€™s a good game, but once you play Clair Obscur, itโ€™ll probably be a comfort game as well ๐Ÿ˜Š I am definitely replaying after some time has passed

I hop back in every two years or so and I canโ€™t wait to do it again after the last update!

They were good? For me it was a toss up between starting that and Expeditionary Force, and EF sadly got stale pretty quickly.

Maybe, but Iโ€™m not sure this isnโ€™t their intent. Iโ€™d have said the same thing about the Dark Souls games, but apparently theyโ€™re supposed to be like that ๐Ÿ˜‚

I came back to the boss Iโ€™d been stuck on at the end of act 1. Mustโ€™ve taken 30 tries. By the end, the runback was flawless and I was dodging everything. I donโ€™t know how to feel about that. Obviously I learned something, but the game demands that you learn it, rather than just participate.

Today Iโ€™m going out to touch grass. Mostly because I need some of my weekend to relax and not play the same game for 2.5 days, but also because my left thumb tip (thanks D-pad) and my right thumb muscle and wrist feel stressed enough I actually donโ€™t want to push it. ๐Ÿ˜‚
