I used to play a lot of Fallout 4 with gyro aiming on the Steam Controller, there was a lot of downtime between fights and gunplay didn’t require perfect precision, which was great for learning how the controller felt. I’d find that I’d sit back with my hands on my lap, tilting the controller very slightly up and down for vertical aim and unconsciously using my foot to rotate the chair for horizontal. Once I got used to how it worked (including setting the gyro to only activate while the left trigger was held and fine-tuning the sensitivity) it became natural. My body just kind of figured it all out in the most comfortable way.

Congrats on the three promotions mate :)

I have enough games in my steam library that I could never buy another game, and be perfectly content

So, just Rimworld then.

Honestly though, same. I was really interested in Ghosts of Tsushima when it launched. Now years later it’s finally on PC but it costs more than I usually pay for new games. Fuck that. The only way I’m buying a PS5 is if a friend wants one and is willing to let me get it, play FF7 & 16 then sell it to them in a few months.

I recently got into making desserts. I end up with something I can be proud of, get to share sweets with my friends & family and satisfy my sweet tooth all at once. With $10 worth of ingredients and zero experience you can whip up a basic batch of fudge in less than 15 minutes and put pretty much anything else you want into there.

Average night when you accidentally open tvtropes.

That’s been happening for ages. I’m sure if you check the profiles you’ll find other posts with all the same bots commenting. A lot of lazier ones wait exactly a year to repost, and it’s pretty obvious in subs for something like a live service game where they’ll be reposting complaints that are way out of date. One in the Monster Hunter sub reposted a trailer for Iceborne which had been out for 3 years by that point.

More screen space with the taskbar on the side. I only use taskbar icons so I don’t have (or want) programs stretching across the whole bottom of the screen, they just bunch up together in the top corner. Also 99% of the websites I’ve used in the past decade have had big spaces on both sides to allow for smaller resolutions, so losing that couple of blank centimetres means I gain a couple vertically that actually get used by the site.

The first security job I ever worked was for a rich girl’s 21st birthday party at her house, my main duty was making sure nobody went to the stables and bothered the racehorses. I heard one of the kids say that her dad owned 2 Toyotas & her mum owned a Subaru, and I thought maybe they’re not so different from me after all because my parents have the same cars. Turns out she was talking about owning the car dealerships.

I was in a similar position. I’ve at least tried almost all of the games since Demon’s Souls on PS3 (plus a few other Soulslikes like Surge 2 & Last Remnant [edit: Last Remnant is something else entirely, i dunno. It was something like that]) and I could never get into them. Elden Ring especially is exactly the kind of world I love in games and I wanted so much to enioy it. It took a handful of 10-15-hour attempts over nearly two years before it finally clicked with me and I started really getting into it back in December. I got the platinum last week and then started Sekiro for the first time a few days ago, so let’s see how that goes.

My advice, if you can’t get into it give it a few months then take another honest crack at it. If you don’t enjoy yourself that’s fine, just try again next time you start thinking about the game, but if that switch finally flicks on you can clear your schedule for the next fortnight.

I’ve had several people comment on the way I tie my shoelaces. I can’t even remember how to do it the “normal” way, but I use that knot that takes about half a second where you make both loops at once and pull them through each other.

Stuff+ generally always has a Prison Architect and one other game series going, then does one-shot videos of random indie stuff in between. He’s also not loud and annoying the way youtube gamers tend to be and doesn’t have a webcam feed covering a quarter of the screen, it’s just about the games.

I’m struggling to think of any situation in which invisibility would benefit me personally. Teleportation would save me over an hour a day of driving to/from work alone, plus hours at work itself, fuel & vehicle maintenance costs just about disappear, world travel becomes something possible to do any time of any day on a whim, you could do anything.

Plans to announce an upcoming game? How uh… exciting. Give us a buzz when it’s available.

Right. More often than not when these posts pop up you can check their comment history and see exactly why they keep getting banned.
