Days Gone is well designed and balanced. The map isn’t overly large. If you just follow the quests you pretty much go everywhere anyway. I highly recommend you just give it a go. It’s a great game!

Applications like Teams still don’t work on Firefox because they rely on the buggy pre-standard implementation of WebRTC in Chrome, while Firefox follows the web standards.

I plan to do the same with my kid as my parents did: PC in the living room. That way I can at least keep an eye on what they are doing. I haven’t figured out what to do about smart phones yet, but I got at least 8 years before that becomes an issue.

Online dating and 4chan are both not suitable for children

I just started playing “Dave the Diver”. It’s been a lot of fun so far. There are a lot of systems to play with, and you keep unlocking more. I just unlocked the fish farm.

Didn’t you hear? Digg is coming back, now with AI!

It’s not about the wall. That’s just for shits and giggles (and clickbait). The real problem is that the Tesla also ran over a mannequin in rain and fog, while the Lexus with lidar did not.

There are none. Match.com gobbles up all dating apps that become even slightly popular.

I lean towards ‘no’ because I do not see moves on their part to actively attack other distributors

That doesn’t matter. There’s a difference between having a monopoly and abusing it to distort the market. It’s the abuse that’s illegal, not the monopoly in itself.

There are tons of private companies making games. They’re usually called indy’s

I loved this game! I got it for free on PS plus some years ago

That poor horse 😄 But, have you thought about remapping the keys in either game? At one point I just unmapped F in some games

The dweller ended up being a really easy boss to deal with. We’re deep into the Dwarrowdelf now. I just found the last piece of Durin’s axe so I assume we’re near the end. I didn’t look anything up because I didn’t want to spoil ourselves. We’re in tier IV armor and weapons. It looks great, except for the helms. They have one big horn and one little horn. I hate horns on helmets and I don’t like asymmetry either 😄

Every few months my friends and I pick up Deep Rock Galactic for a few weeks. And every time when we switch to a different game after that we always end up hitting “F” all the time all over the place. In DRG that’s the button to throw a flare and you use it constantly when moving around. Very annoying when another game uses it for something completely different like a grenade toss 😄

Yeah, I’m playing with a friend. I think we’re nearing the end. My gaming laptop struggles as well, but turning down the setting and upping frame generation helped a bit

Pentiment, an awesome point-and-click whodunnit with meaningful choices and beautiful medieval graphics. You only have limited time so you can’t do everything and follow every lead.

Return to Moria, a generic survival/crafting game that was recently free on Epic. I had low expectations of this one, but it is surprisingly solid. But it really sucks that there is no dedicated server support.

I agree. I had a laptop with a clit mouse around 1999/2000 or so. After some practice I could play Quake 2 with that thing. It was awesome!

I’m about 50 hours into Astroneer. It’s pretty fun but I don’t see it gripping me for another 50 hours. I’ll probsbly finish the main objectives and then clear something else from my Steam backlog

I finished “The Return of the Obra Dinn”, an absolutely great puzzler. I really loved it. Anyone who likes Sherlock Holmes style deductive reasoning should give it a try. And the art style is really unique and beautiful.

I also finished “Conarium”. It was… meh. It’s got the Lovecraft vibe down really well, but it’s not much of a game. More of a walking simulator / visual novel. The few puzzles are very easy. Luckily it’s also very short.

Right now I’m trying to get the hang of “Astroneer” which has been a lot of fun so far (20-ish hours in)

Thanks for the tip! Wishlisted!
