Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) was such a banger.

That’s brilliant. It’s a shame it will have no impact and the copyright mafia will continue their relentless assault until we are all microchipped at birth with neural inhibitors that physically prevents us from consuming digital material we haven’t purchased. Brain-implant DRM is the end goal.

Hey now let’s not get bogged down with facts when we’ve already made up our minds!

I’m out of the loop here. What happened?

Isn’t Celeste supposed to be rather difficult? Or is that the Ori games? Or both? Regardless, I don’t think I’ll ever play these games sadly as I’m not a god gamer, and I especially suck at platforming. Same reason I don’t think I’ll ever attempt Hollow Knight either.

Any Scandinavian country should have a population ranging from proficient to fluent in English.

The creepy/dark atmosphere is actually the thing that appeals to me about them! It’s the platforming and puzzles I am worried about.

Both look really cool, but I am really not a big platformer guy so I’m unsure. Inside is 90% off on GOG though so might pick it up for a dollar and a half. Limbo is full price and even though it’s just $10 I don’t know that I’d like it enough. How hard is the platforming and the puzzles?

How good are these games? Are they worth buying before the delisting just to have them?

I just finished Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree today, after having to go to bed last night in the midst of fighting the last boss and coming back fresh today. That second phase definitely took me for a spin, or at least it did my particular build. Maybe a ranged build would have had an easier time. It was still a cool fight though, and that first phase was pretty much perfect.

I had a really good time with this game. The Soulslike Metroidvania with a PoE style skill tree ended up tickling me juuust right. I love theorycrafting and making builds, and it ended up being amazingly fun in this game. There is some interesting synergy you can setup by mixing and matching various classes’ skill trees, and I’m already thinking about a potential second playthrough. Though I’m actually equally tempted by going straight into NG+, as my Chaos daggers build with two teleport skills ended up being super fun to play.

I definitely recommend it, especially if you like these kinds of games. My playtime ended up at just over 40h, though that was with me exploring basically 100% and finding all the optional bosses. Not bad for a €40 game, and if you can get it on sale I’d call it a bargain.

I love KYLE.ENGINEERS. He pops out every February/March and lets me pretend I understand aero. Nothing better than mumbling “hm yes, vortices, I see” to yourself over a cup of coffee as you build hyper over the coming season.

I don’t know that I think that’s a 1-to-1 comparison. If you looked at this picture with no foreknowledge of where it was from or what it was like uncropped you’d think it’s a perfectly innocent headshot of a woman. It’s not like strapless tops or dresses don’t exist, and the hat suggests she’s clothed so there is no reason for the mind to jump to the idea that she’s naked unless you already know it’s from Playboy.

But I don’t know, I might just not get it. I had no idea the shoulder was such a big deal so it might just be me there’s something wrong with. I feel like I missed a memo. Which does happen a lot, to be honest.

Trump deregulating gas and paint to put lead back in both would be so unsurprising it won’t even garner a reaction from me.

The image has attracted controversy in recent years because of its subject matter, and many journals have deemed it inappropriate and discouraged its use, while others have banned it from publication outright.

Brother, it’s a cropped image. Who the fuck cares where it’s from? What are we upset about here, a bare naked shoulder? That’s some Victorian era level puritanism.

Can we stop with the narrative that disorders that completely fuck your life up and make you struggle with things normal people do without thinking is somehow a "“superpower”?

I’m exactly the same.

Yes.

He’s still around!?

Is there really that much sports on Lemmy? For the longest time it seemed completely barren. Even now Soccer is just having stable but very minor activity. Formula 1 is fairly active though I guess.

And that just sounds like too much work. Much easier to see what you want to see on /subscribed and then put the phone away.

Yeah, looks like it. Though from the way he stumbled around and jumped into the side of the other turbine I can’t tell if he was just totally out of it on something and it was a horrible accident or if it was a suicide.
