Hades II tops the list so hard, it even brought the previous game up with it!

I initially questioned whether something like Monster Hunter World (now that it’s been stripped of Denuvo) would also make sense for whatever they’re doing with it, and then I realized this might be in a convention setting, so maybe better to not run a demo of a game with an hour of setup (character creation + progressing far enough to save and quit)

Remember when Facebook’s overarching company bought out Oculus? Well, some VR games seem to start out as exclusives on the “quest” headsets. (I know Facebook [the parent company] changed their name to “Meta”, but I refuse to acknowledge that)

I don’t have the tech-saavy for emulation, and I’ll still wait for console exclusives to come out on PC (unless we’re talking Nintendo exclusives I’m actually interested in). I’ve actively waited for Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game to no longer be a Facebook exclusive, and now I’m doing the same for Out Of Scale.

That being said, I question how that applies in this context. Corporate leadership doesn’t exactly strike me as trustworthy nor worthy of mercy, although that could be a lean toward cynicism on my part.

Considering this and No Man’s Sky having to spend YEARS clawing back good will, I think the lesson here is “don’t make deals with AAA publishers”.

Yeah, maybe it would make more sense to just hook up an electrical mimic-fireplace to a fusion reactor’s electrical output, than to use the actual helium plasma exhaust to mimic flames, come to think of it.

No, that still probably wouldn’t work out, as the other comments have pointed out. Just clarifying that the dangerous aspects of what I asked wouldn’t involve uranium in particular.

True, but I was specifically talking about nuclear fusion, which would entail helium/hydrogen plasma rather than fissionable material.

I was thinking something like a chisel, but yeah, these comments suggest even that would break before the ice.

Is it already out? Or did the store page update prior to release?

It honestly reminds me of some statistics implying that deaths due to violence may be overrepresented in media perception, while deaths due to cancers and heart problems are seemingly underrepresented in coverage by comparison.

I meant intent to consume, as a sort of mental byproduct of which species of gut bacteria exist in a given person.

I was essentially asking whether any neurological influences from those species in your gut would cause more consumption of dairy in general, or just yogurt, or neither

So, a certain edutainment manga/anime (Cells at Work) initially depicted eosinophils as “kinda sucking at fighting things that aren’t parasites, but excelling at flatlining parasites”. How did we go from that interpretation, to recent papers on COVID patients turning up with oddly high eosinophil counts?

Talos Principle. The VR version of the first game, haven’t gotten around to the second game yet. I love the puzzles (when I don’t struggle with timing running past mines), and it’s hilarious that the philosophical test to make a Milton admin profile showed me how utterly unprepared I am for philosophical debate, and how weirdly contradictory my viewpoints might be. Mind you, the only philosophy class I’ve taken in my life was an ethics class.

TL;DR Talos Principle is amazing so far, even though it makes me want to slink off back to college and sheepishly register for a philosophy class.

Are there any equivalents for BBC Micro or Acorn Electron? I’m tempted to try Elite (the original) on Steam Deck, and while I did once download a copy for free on a previous laptop (when the devs were celebrating an anniversary a few years back), I don’t know if that version is compatible with Deck.

Also, the devs of Factorio have a policy of never putting it on sale and adjusting for inflation sometimes, so if you’re gonna get it, now’s the time.

Are… Are you suggesting that there are potential ways a public company system could’ve actually been handled better, rather than the concept itself being flawed by nature?

I’m not saying I disagree, I’m just saying that possibility never occurred to me for some reason. (Maybe it’s my justice sensitivity complex acting up)

Are they talking existing sales, or sales after the announcement? If this is just post-announcement, holy fucking shit
