I just bought this after playing satisfactory and I love the optimism in this game.

I'm so into it. Sure you can tell it's made by a small team but I couldn't tell it was made by 2 people. I don't like playing with mods but this one worked well with them to get rid of a bit of storage monotony.

Oh my god, that's awful. I am in shock people are dismantling our healthcare system and their voters think it's a good idea.

Which Provence are you in?

I loved exile so much! It was made by pesto studios and I feel like cyan wouldn't want to make any of the non cyan Myst games. However they sought after and received the rights to all of the Myst games. So who knows, maybe they would.

This demos so well! I played the original 1997 Riven, I hope 2024 Riven can make an impression on newcomers!

It's so deep, expansive and immersive and I'm not sure if there is anything else out there that has the same feel.

There is a drug called loyal in testing, someone linked to it here as well.

It's like you put a voice to the part of my brain that gets annoyed when bloggers bring it up.

I remember first reading about it on the blogosphere and it blew up ever since then.

Seed pods give me the heebie jeebies and that's about it. Probably an evolved aversion to bee hives and wasp nests that was useful once upon a time, just like spiders and snakes.

You don't need to be sorry, it was still a great post ☺️

URU turned into a side project and still is one now and has been one longer than it was a main effort so technically you're right 😅

Myst IV was made by Ubisoft Montreal. They had some heavy hitters on the team, Mary De Marle is an excellent writer and went on to do amazing things! Jack Wall, the composer that did Myst iii became a very productive video game composter.

URU wasn't a side project, it was cyan's big bet that nearly tanked the company. They had other side projects like a third party QA and testing department that kept them afloat. URU got cancelled before launching properly.

Myst V wasn't meant to exist. After losing so much money on URU, Ubisoft pressured Cyan to put their unused assets from URU into a game that would sell. So they slapped it together with the Myst name that was more recognizable. The game plays and feels just like you'd expect.

Obduction was their big comeback and return to form. Myst-like game without the baggage of the old franchise.

Ok now I want to know where people live, if they have AC, what temperature their bedrooms are and how it effects their night water habits.

I've never tried keeping water by my bed at night, and chugging if I wake up in the middle of it now I'm night bottle curious 🤔

Like, will I feel magically hydrated and limber in the morning? Just another thing that I add to my routine to make me feel great in the morning?

I'll update if I piss the bed.

Do people wake up in the middle of the night and drink a whole bottle of water? Am I missing something?

I'm usually like "don't want to be warm under the covers and need to pee, I don't dare hydrate past 9 pm"

Foundation is one of the few adaptations that I think benefits from it's lack of fidelity to the source material.

I think they actually made these changes more in an attempt to make it good than poor writing or lack of respect for the source material.

I'll be more pissed at apple not finishing the series than the writing or accuracy.

 

Looks like it will take some time to figure it out, but the developer ljdawson is looking into Lemmy support for sync.

This app is so smooth, and caching posts and comments for offline use while on the plane or in low reception areas is a clutch feature for me.
