We’re still blaming Dan for everything?

I’m surprised that you say that there was a lot of hype when it was released. I remember seeing a lot of hype before it came out, but all of the discussion I saw when it was released was just complaints about the audio mixing and lack of character development.

For the record I like the movie as an action movie. I feel like it’s at a similar quality to most of his Batman movies and Inception in that sense. I just don’t think it was ever intended to be profound or particularly deep (outside of the standard complexity that comes with a time travel story)

It sucks for people who aren’t able to get financial assistance from their family (I’m one of them) but this isn’t nepotism. This is families doing what is necessary to get a first house in a lot of current housing markets. Nepotism would be if houses were only being sold to family members/acquaintances of the owners.

It’s just a meme, since they’re both highly anticipated movies with very different vibes releasing on the same day. I don’t think most people are actually expecting them to compete (if anything, most of the jokes I see are about watching a Barbie/Oppenheimer double feature). It’s the same as the Doom Eternal/Animal Crossing jokes a few years back

Yes!! Moon ice has had it too good for too long!!

I remember liking the Tomorrow, When the War Began series as a teenager (set in rural Vic). It’s about a group of Aussie teenagers who return from a bush camping trip to find everyone in the town gone. I remember it gets pretty dark and seemed really grounded for a YA series at the time, but I was 15 so take it with a grain of salt haha

That’s still pretty insane, new games were about $80 here a couple of years ago

That’s awesome! I only have a Playstation and Macbook so I never had a way to play most gamepass games. I already used Geforce Now so this is perfect for me!

Yeah it’s really making me realise how much of reddit is NSFW haha

A lot of subs have already gone dark (over 4000 as of now), you can see a live progress tracker on reddark.untone.uk if you want to watch 😊

Copied from my other comment:

I just found it as well, it’s in your phone (e.g., Google) settings. For my phone (Samsung) I go:

(Samsung) Settings -> Apps -> Jerboa for Lemmy -> Set as Default -> Supported Web Addresses

That leads to the page shown in the OP screenshot 😊

It’s very much a flawed gem. It’s definitely a little clunky (and the graphics have definitely aged) but it has some unique systems. The pawn system is cool (you create your main character plus a ‘pawn’ character that follows you, and you can summon other players pawns to fill out your team, which gives those players some rewards).

The magic system makes you feel like a badass (a lot of slow-charging but really powerful spells) and the melee combat is pretty fun as well (you can climb large enemies to attack them, Shadow of the Colossus style).

It is pretty long but I also found the gameplay to be the main appeal for me, so I personally wouldn’t feel pressured to finish the game. It goes on pretty deep discounts fairly regularly so you could pick it up without much of a commitment (it looks like it’s $4.80 USD on steam now). It can be pretty challenging though (especially early on) so keep that in mind if you’re not a fan of difficult games.

The new Gollum game was very impressive in the way it managed to implement so many of the mechanics in this thread

Only started the first game in late 2021 but I loved it! The whole time I was wishing for an updated version so I was stoked to see this get announced shortly after. Can’t wait

Good to see it’s still there

(great pic by the way)

I don’t think RSS would work for that (it only seems to pull the content for the post itself, not the comments), but I’ve always used reddit-stream.com/ for live comments 😊 you can just take any link to a live thread (e.g. https://reddit.com/comments/145upmt/) and replace ‘reddit’ with ‘reddit-stream’ in the URL. It shows a live (updates every few seconds) feed of comments, and you can still comment if you link your reddit account.

That way you’re still not on the reddit site or giving them ad traffic, and it’s also a lot nicer to use as a bonus! I’d still prefer a fediverse alternative but it could be a good option for now

Sounds funny to call a period longer than all of recorded human history a ‘pause’

That sounds like the opposite of a mistake to me

Any of the Yakuza games for me! I love the feeling of walking around Kamurocho or Sotenbori and just trying different arcade games, karaoke, food, baseball etc 😊 the ambience and overall vibe is so nice (even if you do have to beat up random thugs every few minutes). Also, there are so many (very long) games in the series that there’s always something new for me to try
