Considering my 1050 Ti just barely runs HZD comfortably, this one might be pushing the envelope a bit too far, but someday hopefully :)

Quoting: KimyrielleAlso, what the heck is "initial engagement"? A term you come up with when you attended too many board meetings? Or had to much coffee?

I imagine it's first install for traditionally purchased games + first interaction with the game on streaming services + maybe first time players via WebGL clients but that last one seems like it would be just about impossible to track accurately.

I remember The Night of the Rabbit getting really weird towards the end, but enjoying it overall.

Quoting: Installcool. anyone played firewatch? how is it?

Been a while, but it felt a bit too slow and contemplative for my taste. Like walking from one place to the next so the story would continue, but not really doing anything to influence it. Not really my cup of tea but beautiful and well made for what it is. I still played it to the end (and I don’t remember much of anything regarding the actual story so I won’t comment on that).

Finally I can start using "You have a Mac build but not a Linux build even though it has a larger market share" as an argument to convince devs to support Linux

> you usually only get the survey on one machine.
Not in my experience. I had it on two different desktops one week apart just last spring and I've had it on my laptop as well.

Quoting: blindcoderI _want_ to pick one up, but it's _still_ a lot of money for a device I don't really _need_.

Same, I wish I hadn't gotten an SSD for my aging laptop so I could fool myself into considering a Deck as replacement for it. Turns out the old thing can still last me a while :P There's always the next gen I guess!

I only had time to try three demos, but Land Above Sea Below was my favorite by far and a very happy find though it didn't show up in the most popular. A very beautiful "atmospheric building strategy and puzzle game where you have to build your island from tiles in order to raise its height as much as possible, to avoid it getting flooded by the constantly rising sea level." I like how you have limited turns forcing you to think and plan your moves carefully before the tide engulfs your island, but there is no real-life time limit forcing you into rash decisions (unlike another turn-based combat game I tried). Very, very cozy game and one I could see myself returning to to unwind at the end of a long day even though I normally prefer story-based games.

Quoting: dpanter'Huge hit' is a substantial understatement, more than 50% of their market value was destroyed in one fell swoop.

Do we know how that happened?

Quoting: miroWhat the actual fuq?
Is this for real? You do know that this is designed to kill people, not in a cs-fashion but for real. And all with the currently f'ed up narrative and politics, you are cracking jokes with it.

I can not believe this, what a shame.

It’s not designed to kill people, it’s designed to repel invaders.
