Anyway, now that I've seen past the lying, lying marketing, I'm having a great time. Great game. Horrific messaging and tutorialization of systems.

Every Fortune's Weave trailer: You can play the campaigns in parallel! Play how you want! It's fun to swap between them! Every Fortune's Weave game system: DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE EVEN LOOK AT THOSE OTHER CAMPAIGNS!

Wow, Ocarina of Time remake looks great!
A screencap from the trailer for Kirby and the World Beyond where Kirby is holding a giant glowing sword that looks weirdly like the Master Sword and wearing a long green hat that looks a lot like Link's hat. This post is made in jest, as Kirby is very cute and fun, whereas I think the Ocarina of Time remake looks horrendous.

A year ago I knew nothing about Warhammer. Your Drukhari posting has resulted in me enthusiastically explaining how Gene Stealer Cults work to my wife while she was trapped in the car with me last weekend. I have almost 150 hours in Rogue Trader. Games Workshop should be paying you.

You may recall that this is the exact playbook they ran for the FTX partnership announcement. That also dropped on a Friday evening before an extended break. The open forum channels were slowly shut down over the following few months as a direct result.

You can send messages or drawings to friends via birds you get from random daily pulls. The birds travel at their real speed. I have a penguin on the way to a friend in Pittsburgh that should arrive in eight days.

If you already have the collision volumes set up and overlapping you can instead use dot product to get relative facing directions and enable/disable the prompt for interaction. Could bind/unbind an event to on overlap begin/end to recheck and update on character rotate or elsewhere.

I fucking hate the very concept of the stock market, but oh I see how you could get hooked on the smug satisfaction of seeing a storm on the horizon and bailing just in time. Anyway, fiduciary responsibility is bullshit and so is all of capitalism burn it all down.

This feels like an unfair comparison given that Epic had boatloads of cash to keep Fortnite afloat while they experimented whereas Highguard was self-published. The problem here is consolidation of resources and lack of sustainable funding for new studios due to VC capture of the industry.

I've been playing Once Upon a Galaxy nonstop since John recommended it, and I really want to give this game a shoutout! It's a great mobile title, but it's also on Steam, and on their store page they have a whole section demonstrating their art process and noting that no AI is used.

That's probably my most nitpicky complaint so far. But there's also stuff like this, which is just useless data without accompanying sentiment. You need four categories here, Yes and I want to, Yes but I don't want to, No but I want to, and No and I don't want to.

Man, the more I look at this survey the more annoying it is. Why would you segment the hours like this? It should be 35-40 and 41-44 hours! With these bands you're including overtime alongside normal 40 hour weeks! Your data is scuffed! This is survey amateur hour!

The extra tidbit here that really caught me off guard is the title of "New York Stock Exchange CEO". I guess I had always assumed it was some sort of government entity? I legitimately did not think I could have a worse opinion of the stock market as a concept, but here we are.

Okay team, need some advice. A few minutes ago, I spotted an orange cat hiding in our backyard, who fled under the fence out of our yard when we made eye contact. It's dropping below freezing at night, is there anything I can do to help the little guy out?
