Former Reddit user looking for an alternative! I love Creative Writing, games, anime/manga, Android, movies, books, practicing phone photography, and long strolls to nowhere in particular. I'm also on Mastodon talking about day-to-day stuff like my progress in Animal Crossing New Horizons or whatever has caught my fancy!

I'm a card-carrying homosexual if that truly matters duckies!

I'm @WanderingInDigitalWorlds on Mastodon, I joined the @mstdn.games server!

I've gotten back into Cyberpunk 2077; This game went from a disaster to becoming the version which should have been released! So many systems reworked, being able to ride the Metro in cinematic style, and the new story of Phantom Liberty makes this game great. It's still disappointing that the pool of romanceable characters is so small, with only one gay man in the entire line up. At least the other parts of Cyberpunk 2077 are so much stronger, like the lore about the Cyberpunk universe; talking about the game makes me want to continue my Phantom Liberty play session!

If they would have released this current version instead of the shitty release that we got at first...That would've been better in my opinion and I could've easily lived with a stable, fun game. We never were going to get a 1 to 1 trailer version of Cyberpunk 2077; I made peace with that after learning the misleading nature of trailers in general long ago (personally find trailers should be honest). It's close but not 100% there.

As for my enjoyment being taken away, you couldn't have if you tried! It was just a strongly worded response to my own post. You didn't do what most people would do and devolve into slurs or other demeaning statements used on those who have contrasting opinions.

ROFL The Onion saves the day with hilarious satire, as the news is fucking grim with a mix of hope. https://www.theonion.com/crying-man-refuses-to-take-boner-pills-unless-they-stra-1851454962

A dark, but delightful The Onion satire post! It's giving Midwestern vibes and gross, absolutely perfect to me! https://www.theonion.com/mall-still-hasn-t-removed-rotting-santa-claus-1851423144

Ah, The Onion is wonderfully on the mark with this satire post once again! The smell of piping hot satire in the morning wakes me up. https://www.theonion.com/walmart-baby-registry-questionnaire-includes-checkbox-f-1851416496

Me talking about something and then suddenly...The lexicon of words that exists in my brain vanishes. I pause and use sounds that are like words (said differently different) to get my neurons back on track. Also, I can have a passion for a movie, anime, or book but barely remember anything about it aside from how it made me feel. I might remember some character names or events that happened which were strange or cool AF. ROFL

I honestly feel that Life by You is going to be a banger...Yeah, it's experienced several early access delays. However, I think the approach Rod Humble is taking with this game is a mature and intriguing one. I am absolutely stoked about this game! https://www.gamesradar.com/unlike-the-sims-life-by-you-is-absolutely-pro-nudity/

Ah, telling on themselves in a way which is easily made viral, nice!

sigh Well, it shows they learned absolutely nothing about their misstep with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game. J.B. Perrette and the executives meddled with this game and soiled it due to their rampant greed; if only they'd left the developers who were passionate about this project just work their magic. There are so many games in the mobile and free-to-play markets it's not likely any of WB's trash will get much traction there either.

An offline mode is the only way I'd consider buying and playing Nightingale; I do love survival games, but I need them to be offline adventures balanced for single-player experiences! As an introvert the last thing I want to do is encounter another person in a game.

I'd love to see this...Real consequences for this lame excuse of a human being! However, I'm sure some republicans will come to Trump's rescue as he has all of them by the balls/ovaries. A shame as this tanning spray-stained fool wields no actual power. It's his followers that hold the power of a cult.

@mike591 I'm excited for this game because they've built up a lot of sensible gameplay elements so early on in development. The social system seems more interesting than The Sims 4, where you could become best friends and marry someone on the same day you met them (I've done this so often, even with conflicting personality traits). It takes both time and effort to befriend the other Paras! That is what I desire from a social sim, investing time into creating the story for my character and having that time feel meaningful.

I've been enjoying Nexomon- Extinction so far, it's a sassy game that's quite fun to play! The game mechanics work as intended and there were only a few things which I questioned before an NPC provided an answer. Leveling up my Nexomon seems like a potential slog though, I've gotten used to experience sharing in Pokémon games; I must unlearn this behavior. There are cores which can act like an Exp Share, which is nice because there are two party members that don't need to hog a large chunk of experience! I've been juggling those cores around to passively level up Nexomon which were behind in levels while using stronger creatures to tank damage.

I appreciate the game's aesthetics because it reminds me of older Pokémon games, while remaining unique. The setting matches up with the desperate situation this world is currently in as there are settlements and camps throughout the land outside of their one big city. Humanity seems to be close to potential extinction. Nexomon Tamers are responsible for desperately keeping the wild Nexomon at bay so others can labor on in safer surroundings. I'm going to keep playing today and get further in! As the need to know what happens next is strong, I felt that similarly with Coromon too.

@DNU I'm close to finishing the game myself, Nexomon- Extinction has been a solid adventure! I have a higher opinion of the story only because the satire really vibes well with me!

ROFL There quite a few of us who do! I've been having a great cup of Darjeeling tea in the morning with breakfast for quite a while. Admittedly plastic bottled teas are more commonly enjoyed by more people which is certainly the cause of increased microplastic consumption. It's rare to see bottled tea in a glass container (at least in my area of the USA).

I think even the more compelling games I've played used fast travel...Not as an excuse to reduce exposure to a tedious world, but to respect a gamer's time! I prefer fast travel to hubs and allowing me to make a short journey to wherever my next objective is. No Man's Sky has my favorite system for fast travel: Teleportation Portals which you can use to create a network of fast travel spots. It makes exploring previously settled planets a lot easier but still encourages the player to explore their unique universe. It's limited, but in an elegant way which I find to be pleasing.

I can only think of one game that made travel boring: Skyrim. The main reason is that once you've experienced one random event...You've seen them all as there's no flavor to those random on the road events. Fast Travel to any point on the map was designed to hide the blandness of Skyrim.

Even Hideaki must realize that travelling the same road repeatedly will become dull because one can only pack so many random events in a game...I hope that he makes for an option to even avoid that level of tedium in the extremely late/post-game. Else his game will become the very thing he's critiquing.

The narrative director had little to do with the technical elements of the game; that jab should've been directed at the higher ups who forced this game to be pushed this game out the doorway too soon! I'm sure the developer team was disappointed with the broken launch of their game, but we need to be reminded that CDPR doesn't get off scot free. The hype they're trying to build needs to be cooled with reminders of their past behavior.

Larian Studios made a beautiful game without microtransactions, battle passes, and other BS! I think not being on GamePass is quite alright as they deserve the full asking price for this wonderful game! I am going to buy Baldur's Gate 3 for my Xbox because I love the game so much (I also want to create a Charismatic Terror character...This gives me the excuse to do just that).

The card art is very pretty! Vulpix and Ninetales have a dream-like quality to their art on these cards...It's very enchanting to me!

It's a shame that I had to sign up for Lemmy to view the spicer subs...As a lot of posts weren't accessible from kbin when attempting to view them without an account. Still, the end result is all I care about at the moment.

Good, I hope more join in and walk until Hollywood caves...They won't like this negative attention. 😁

Screw around and find out, Elon Musk...That man's choices lead to this outcome, and I want to see him simmer in the shit stew. Keep the great news rolling in! 😏

This should be a career ending statement, it's fallacious and trying to incite hate against the Trans community! However, I have a feeling this fool who speaks out of pocket garbage will get more votes than a saner candidate. 😬

This is why I'm constantly getting involved in politics, local and national...We need to counter this shit before it becomes a reality forced upon all Americans. We need to bring back consequences for saying such out of pocket shit.
