It’s good, and especially for the first week of early access from a small team.

I kinda think the genre as a whole is spinning its tires.

Torment has a functional ad&d engine.

It’s not a walking sim by any measure.

Also speaking as someone who played torment four times, including when it first came out, it’s possibly the worst infinity engine game unless there’s some weird mess hidden in the mists of time.

I feel like the walking sim aging poorly moment is rolling. Once any of em gets enough years to have a person check it out again it’s suddenly aged poorly.

I’d be interested to see one that has aged well outside of that “janky but possessed of grim foresight” way that a lot of old stuff has.

Inshallah we will see in ten years.

It’s pretty fun. I don’t think anyone who has to drive a long way and pay big for outdoor clothes and equipment rental is having fun though.

Some of the nicest memories I have are stunting on rich tourists in fifteen year old thrift store gear that got refurbished at a shop in the off season.

It’s nice to go fast.

There’s a picture floating around comparing some of the original Pokémon to dragon quest designs from the time.

The concept of “original design” when it comes to a monster or ghost or animal is pretty dumb.

No one wants to hear this:

Disco elysium and all the other walking simulators.

Everything where it’s open world base building and you have the opportunity to make slav-jank into slave-jank is a kenshi like.

Kenshi-likes is my favorite new genre.

World needs sort by lowest score.

Much easier to just look for the -24 comments then wade through all the liberals agreeing with each other.

Oh no, I agree. They’re your chores or the other persons chores until someone gets too overwhelmed to handle it then they fall to the other person until the same thing happens again like one of those giant rotating pendulums swinging around knocking the dominos down in slow motion.

It’s nice that people have the idea of equity in mind when describing an idealized work structure, but it’s a constant negotiation and ought to be.

Dungeon crawl:stone soup

Some of my favorite memories are from that game but I can’t recommend people wade into the awful pile they’ve made it into. Every successive update seems to be devs fishing things out of the soup because it detracts from the stone.

British person located.

Used to make hummus in a foodservice setting: use canned chickpeas instead of cooked dry. Make sure your food processor is ventilated well because you’re gonna be running it longer and with a higher load than it was designed for. Use some kind of oil to straighten out the consistency once the tahini and chickpeas are blended right. Go easy on the oil if you’re gonna use a liquid spice.

Some cool hummus flavors to make:

garlic and onion: it’s garlic and onion powder. Favorite of crackers.

Buffalo chicken: ranch dressing powder and cayenne.

Mint: fresh mint leaves. It’s weird to experience the “spice buildup” that some foods have with mint.

Bbq: literally pour some bbq sauce in there. The more concentrated and flavorful ones work good.

You get some unexpected diners when your server says “our hummus today is bbq marinade”.

It’s what gamefreak have refused to do and it’s good.

E: oh yeah, there’s a bunch of absolute freaks going nuts on twitter trying to prove that the developer used ai to make assets from nintendos ip. If you’ve got any experience with 3d modeling or llm/gpt it’s very funny to scroll through. Primo “fifth grader lawyer” time.

You’re right. Humans drove out the predators and created a new environment that makes their recovery to previous numbers and range impossible. People need to take responsibility for stewardship of the populations people have disrupted.

I’m only familiar with the breeding programs in my state and the neighboring ones, but they’re all pretty tightly conducted by experts in the field of wildlife management (which is not just a jumped up job title for hicks). I don’t doubt that in some weird states they don’t care if you selectively breed 38 point bucks that can’t carry their heads high enough to look out for predators and release em into the wild, but the few I know of have restrictions on that type of selection.

I’m sure if the deer were able to express themselves clearly and understood the options they’d choose captive bolt gun over being eaten alive after running and fighting to exhaustion.

Reintroducing predators is also pretty universally disliked by the people who will eventually be in contact with them for good reason.
