Maybe cheating a bit but there are several genres of games that are named after the games that popularized their mechanics such as roguelike/roguelite, souls-like, metroidvania

Do you think someone who has a "deadly allergy" knows what their allergen tastes like?

Have you played the game? While true, you can boil down the game to "you deliver packages" there's a lot more to it. There's planning your equipment and weight distribution, evaluating the best route and adapting when something unexpected shows up, the give and take of the social strand system, etc.

It's for sure not a game for everyone and I don't begrudge anyone who says they don't enjoy it but the one liner that pretty much everyone boils it down to does a disservice when describing how much is actually involved

Where is it $80?

No idea what resource you're citing but mag citrate is used to treat constipation... It will give you diarrhea, it is a horrible source of dietary magnesium

Not as good as the examples you listed but subnautica imo

Because emoting gave you gravity damage resistance for some reason and people were surviving crazy heights when emoting

Pretty sure the poses and background are references to childish Gambino's this is America music video

Love to see the transistor rec in 2025

Not hardened yet

Interesting speculation but wish there was a bit more information in the article. For anyone interested, this particular species of candida is considered highly dangerous because it is resistant to most of the antifungal medications we currently use

It's pretty bad

That's a lot of nerfs

I didn't downvote but I disagree. It is nice to be able to roleplay your own character but I also like having well written established characters

Genuinely asking, do you think the "profiting off of users in predatory practices" that ABK does now will change unde Microsoft? I'm conflicted on the acquisition but I would be highly surprised if that is something Microsoft changes.

Personally, yeah, I would like the status quo to remain because as shitty as ABK is, I can make the choice not to support their practices by not buying or playing their games. Yes, I realize that by being acquired by Microsoft doesn't somehow allow them to put a gun to my head to play their games but it does discourage competition now that they are under the same umbrella.

In case you haven't heard of it, the scrubs rewatch podcast with Zach braff and Donald faison is pretty great and has a lot of behind the scenes info

Just want to say I agree with your second point, I also didn't get the conclusion that he's dismissing criticism. I understood his message as simply if you're not enjoying the game then take a break- criticism or feedback is still valid but don't force yourself to try to engage in a game that doesn't bring you some form of entertainment

A bit pricier than the other options listed in this thread but I'm really happy with my glasses from warby Parker. I like having an in person store to try on frames and the customer service is pretty great

Guilty pleasure one for me is burn notice. It's so over the top but so much style and coolness
