No love for Against the Storm? Technically it released 8th of December last year, but that’s not enough time for it to be able to get GotY for 2023, so it’s got to fit in here. (also I only played it after new years)
Other than that Balatro has got to be a strong contender for me. PoE2 is looking more and more likely to take it home next year for me.
I got back into Path of Exile a month ago, and that’s still going on. Last time I didn’t do more than finishing the campaign, but this time I’m well into end game and it’s great!
I’ve also started playing Siege Survival: Gloria Victis this weekend. You play as a couple of characters in a city that’s under siege. During the day you need to create supplies for the soldiers in your bastion, and during the nights you’ve got to sneak around the city and gather materials, or scout behind the enemey lines to get Intel for the next siege attack. It’s actually really fun!
We got to do something simular in uni. We modeled the CPU in VHDL and had to set up our own language, then we were to program a game for it. One of the most fun and interesting courses we got to do!
Have you tried a sleep headband with bluetooth headset? I got one and it was a gamechanger
Yeah. It’s pretty good in that regard. It usually hogs a bit, but it’s very good at releasing it if it’s needed elsewhere. FF though, not so much.
And yet since switching to firefox last year I’ve had more problems with FF eating memory and the browser slowing down, than I ever with Chrome. (not that I’m switching back)
Not only amazing, but also a freaking machine when it comes to churning out books.
You are not wrong, but remember that they only employ like 40-50 people. Even if the playerbase goes down to 10% of what it is that’s still not a lot of people.
If you do like Wheel of Time it’s always worth giving Brandon himself a shot as well. He’s busy writing his own universe called Cosmere. It’s got a few different series based on different planets and magic systems that can mostly be read as standalones, but they are also connected in… let’s just say ‘certain ways’ for now. Mistborn is a popular starting point. Personally I think ‘Emperor’s Soul’ is better if you want to try out his writing style, since it’s only about 100 pages or so.
That just released 1.0 a few months ago at that. It’s really good!
Minchin is a goddamn treasure, and I will never not upvote posts highlighting him.
Yeah, you are correct, and that’s why I think he was talking about games specifically. That’s a grade A assumption from me though (and a bit of hopium?)
Eh, it sounds more like he wants then to go back to the roots and developer a groundbreaking game, like Portal, or HL2, again. Which doesn’t sound like a bad thing. To do something groundbreaking it probably helps if you dare to do something that is scary.
Wait, what’s a frog tong??
That’s such a good one
I don’t think it’s that black and white, since he apparently has sold stock steadily through out the year (and hasn’t bought any at all).
Nah, I had just forgotten the scene, but I’ve seen it. I just thought it was something bigger that would come up later on.
Aaah right, I know which one you mean. Sorry! Thought it was something big that would happen down the line.
GW1 really was the shit back in the days. Too bad it feels pretty janky today…
