I remember when Star Citizen first started being talked about I was worried I wouldn't be able to run it on my GTX 770 lol. Both that gpu and any desire to play star citizen have been gone for years.

Reddit was never going to just shut down overnight, but it's more or less done for me (barring some sudden change with the API stuff, but even then I'd make an effort to use it less). I'll keep my account around and might occasionally go to it to look up specific things or visit more niche communities that don't have much of a presence here or on other alternatives yet, but I'm done with just generally browsing reddit or providing any content for them. I'm enjoying it here and hope the boost in activity allows for continued growth and filling out of communities for more specific topics.

Yeah I imagine most of those are contingent on the merger going through.

I wrote up some reviews of demos I tried here.

Might be outside of what you're looking for, but have you considered online chess? It's fun to learn, doesn't need quick reflexes, and the playerbase is never going to die.

I believe (could be wrong) that they just are against hosting NSFW communities on beehaw. You should still be able to view things from other instances if NSFW is enabled in your account settings.

To save anyone a click, it's just a placeholder job title. Really doesn't seem like something that needs a whole article written about it.

I hate that "review bombing" has come to be considered a bad thing. It's not always for a great reason, but it often is, and it's one of the most prominent ways normal people have to make their voice heard against large companies. That's obviously also the reason it's been put down so much, but it sucks.

I've been playing Lone Fungus from the recent metroidvania humble bundle, it's alright? Takes a lot from other games, Hollow Knight in particular, and mostly doesn't live up to its inspirations, but is still fun enough. Very easy to binge and it has a bunch of areas/bosses so it's not really repetitive or slow at all. Like a 6/10 so far, but if you've played nearly everything in the genre like I have it's fun enough

Really enjoyed these, especially 2 which is one of my favorite metroidvanias. Easily worth trying out for free.

It's crazy how they came out ahead of this bragging about how all of their trailers would be either gameplay or in-game, and it's all just cinematic shit anyways.

I haven't used those in particular but have tried several sites for this and have been very happy with Backloggd, you may want to take a look and see if you like it. It's heavily based on Letterboxd, so if you use that for movies it'll feel familiar.

I'm assuming they'll still show it a bit during the xbox showcase and then show more in depth in the thing after, but maybe not.

I think it's cool and don't mind it, but that may just be the novelty of it. I wouldn't be opposed to using more traditional camera angles during the live play and then sometimes showing this angle as an immediate replay afterwards.

Hope you enjoy Outer Wilds! It's my all-time favorite game. Just go in as blind as possible and don't be afraid to experiment and explore.

Everwild seems like a realistic thing to hope for that would be exciting. I assume we'll be seeing Forza. Silksong seems like it'd be here if anywhere during this not-E3, but not getting my hopes up for that. Really have zero interest in Starfield, so I hope they don't spend too much of the time focused on that.

I'm in the middle of that and need to get back to it, great game.

You can get it in a bundle with a bunch of other metroidvanias here.

Seconded, I love UCH so much. One of my favorite multiplayer games, I've never had anything but a great time with it.

As much as these are streamer bait, I do really enjoy watching them. It also has Bennett Foddy working on it, who popularized the whole idea.
