My group just finished Big Walk. What an amazing game. The way it ended was also amazing. Don’t miss out on this find a group of four to play it with.

I don't know why I've never seen this mentioned as an 80-year-old cautionary tale about AI. First, I saw this somewhere: "No, there will be other agents doing the review. The point of agentic workflow is to free yourself so you can run more agentic workflows." Then it hit me:

Private equity should be restricted way more than this. Taking out loans to buy a company then putting the debt on that company and selling off the pieces to pay the debt is not how this is supposed to work.

Just looking at it, the jump feels very binary. You’re up or down. Feels less like a jump and more like… a binary up/down from a mobile 2d side runner. That’s just looking though; I would need to try it to understand its feel better.

Ok, Big Walk is a big deal. It’s very fun. Don’t look anything up just play with friends. Free if you have a PSN sub, but well worth the small price they are asking.

@qrostar.net About 10 years ago, someone showed me Jelly No Puzzle. I instantly loved how hard it is, how the levels don't feel redundant, and its simplicity. Today, I finally finished the last level. I never asked for or got any hints on how to do them. Thank you so much for this amazing challenge.

So yeah, I’m watching the big short AGAIN. And it strikes me. What an amazing performance from Steve Carell. And he wasn’t nominated for an Oscar. What is it with comedic actors doing amazing dramatic work and not getting nominated for it?

Ok, so don't use Duolingo for Chess. I mean it's got its use to teach some parts of languages. It's kind of fun. Hey, whatever. But many of its chess puzzles or problems are just outright incorrect. This guy researched it. learnthroughstories.substack.com/p/i-tested-8...

I can't recommend this game enough if you like twin-stick shooters. If you aren't so sure about the genre, but like a mind-blowing audio-visual presentation, maybe give it a try. It's on many platforms. store.steampowered.com/app/2105620/...

GIMP is so powerful. But every time I try to select, drag, and have it duplicate what was selected where I drag it, I have to look up how to do it. So much about its UX is counter-intuitive. :(

Here's my Steam curator. It's entirely "Recommended" games, as I don't really like writing negative game reviews. store.steampowered.com/curator/2523... But if you tune in to my Twitch channel, almo2001, I will certainly trash-talk games in there. >:)

I was floating toward the furnace, and grabbed something to prevent dying. And... the force on the line was roughly perpendicular to my travel velocity, so I started accelerating in a large circle around the object I grabbed. This did not end well.

I don't agree, but it depends on the game. Some games really need scores. Roguelites depend on rewards for good play. Etc.

They're a manufacturing company and it shows. No clue on software services, making money on the console instead of licensing fees, etc. They even call submission testing "lot check". They do what they do and it seems to work.

Both are amazing. Factorio is more demanding though. Resources in Satisfacotry are infinite. Also something you build at the start can still be operating when you finish. My first cement maker kept running the entire game.
