This is just my theory, but with the price of game development increasing so rapidly, I think it’s getting harder for the impatient to cover the development costs and make a profit off shitty games, unless the game has a huge following. Games like COD, Diablo, Star Wars, etc.

For games without that following, I think they are definitely being punished for their bad practices. Like Gotham Knights, Red Fall, Saints Row, etc. Games that cost so much that they have potential to shut down studios

For the last 4 years I go back to Minecraft at the beginning of the year with a friend so I’m excited for this year’s play through in 2-3 months

Recently started my first play through. Enjoy!

I recently started playing Divinity Original Sin 2, and I went through this problem as well until I changed the way I approached the game.

I just let go of trying to make the most optimized decisions and instead just make the decision I, or my character would make (if I’m role playing).

I just realized that no matter what decision I make, it will still lead me to finish the game. If I really want to, later I can go back and play it again to see more of the game. Only if I like my first play-through though.

I have nothing to back me up except my experience, but I’ve been using Dr. Bronner for the past 2-3 months and I’m going to switch to something else once I finish this bottle.

I liked it, but it cleans a little too well if that makes sense. I felt like my skin wasn’t left with any oils and it would dry my skin out too much. I currently have to use a bunch of lotion for my skin to not be dry, and I already used to moisturize a lot before the soap.

I don’t even use it on my face unless I have been really sweaty. There is a woman near me that makes charcoal bars of soap and that’s what I plan on using afterwards.

Because the USA took that title already.

I know a lot of people from central/south america that are mad about that and they make a comment whenever you say “american.” They prefer the term “estadounidense” which is just someone who is from the USA.

I don’t blame them because it is pretty self centered especially whenever there are two whole ass continents that term could apply to, but I don’t think get the anger around it lol.

I got that lesson with call of duty ghost and assassin’s creed 3 back in 2013. I was extremely hyped for the games and they both ended up sucking.

After that I will just buy a game after it’s been out for a couple months

I started using them in my adult life so maybe I can give some insight

it feels a little uncomfortable the first time. Not because it’s necessarily uncomfortable, but more because it’s a foreign feeling.

You get used to it after the 2nd or 3rd time though. Once you use a bidet it’s hard to go back to TP

Yeah same. I was thinking about Vampire survivors so I think we’re on the same page. I should have said DLCs instead of micro transactions

Not only that, but it slows down discussion and more niche/focused topics are often missed

Katana Zero and Hotline Miami are also great games

I hope for a world where fun and optimization are prioritized over length and graphics

Tbh I think that in the world, games would be cheaper and micro-transactions would be seen in a better light. I think people don’t mind supporting a developer who makes an actually good title

That’s pretty short. What games do you play?

Kinda unrelated, but retirement homes will be way better in the future than they are right now. Imagine all the VR equipment, video game consoles, and PCs. With the right neighbors, it could be like a LAN party all the time

Battlebit? I have it on Steam, but I haven’t had time to get to it so I’m not 100% sure what it’s like. I heard it’s lack of greed is the main reason it got so popular.

CSGO is also kinda like this but it has the gambling features

The Truck Simulator Series is pretty good

This might not be what you’re looking for, but Real VR Fishing is a really nice looking game and really relaxing. I have made some open lobbies and some of the chillest people join and we just talk until one of us has to log off

There is also a web browser in the game and I just watch youtube or listen to music while playing. It is really fun and relaxing after a long day

That looks great! Hope you enjoyed

Couple suggestions

• Oh Honey - Delegation
• a song from the beegees
• a song from sting

Maybe a city building game?

Bloons isn’t too involved but it can get intense

What about games like kona, abzu, firewatch, a short hike, etc. A lot of exploring
