Alwa’s Awakening

It was challenging, but fun. Looking forward to playing Alwa’s Legacy soon which apparently made some improvements.

There’s also a huge Linux community, and Linus Torvalds is a Finn. Possible connection, or just coincidence?

I always second guess if Mexico is considered part of NA. I did look it up right after posting but was too lazy to edit with the findings. Thanks for mentioning it.

North America? It’s still “free” in Canada, for now.

When I look at your profile and go to posts section, I see one page, and all but the last few are to Erotic Art. Your profile only shows Cooking under the “Moderates” section.

Maybe whatever instance the Art and Design community is on is defederated from my instance (Lemmy.ca)? I’m not sure.

Whether I’m blind or not is none of your concern, and saying that isn’t helping your cause.

You moderate Cooking, but all your posts are to Erotic Art. I took a guess based on the information I see. My other points still stand.

You’re getting downvotes because you are insulting real people, and you didn’t ask a question.

Why do you care so much about followers? You’re not going to monetize your Lemmy account. If you stop posting, your community will see less activity as you discovered.

I looked at your profile and I have to assume the community you’re talking about is the “Erotic Art” one. Personally the only time I visit NSFW communities on here is so that I can block them. Maybe enough of the regular user base browsing All did that and now you see a decline in traffic. Or, maybe there is some demand for it and you just need to keep posting consistently to see growth.

Either way I think you should delete this post and reflect on how you’re behaving. It’s ok to get frustrated, but taking it out on all of Lemmy isn’t going to help.

Tunic

Just finished my first playthrough and I’m in love. Play Tunic.

Also check out the Blossom Tales games. I have not played yet, but I got Blossom Tales: The Sleeping King because of how Zelda-like it looks.

Get some sort of speaker or use a smartphone. Play some music or video and put your volume around your talking volume, or a little louder. Then leave the room and close the door. This way you can get a sense of how much noise bleeds outside to your roommate.

Have you all received any updates about beef strogonoff lately?

Why? Did something big happen?

• Be in MS Teams meetings all day and talk with your hands
• Delegate software and system changes with confidence based on the sales pitches of vendors who over-promise and under-deliver
• Be a punching bag for executives when the solutions that were meant to save money for the business end up costing more time and money than before

I’ve heard about that and through multiplayer have been able to experience it. Honestly I prefer the base game without either DLC. Even the Void DLC is too chaotic for my taste.

The cost of doing laundry is insane. I started doing mine by hand at home.

TUNIC.

My goodness this game feels like it was made for me. I feel the magic of Zelda (LttP, maybe Link’s Awakening) and Dark Souls, and I would say the game wears those influences on its sleeve.

The game drops you into the world with no explanation. Signs are in a foreign language. You can collect pieces of the instruction manual which includes map pieces. The manual is littered with the occasional word in English, just enough to guess at what you can / need to do. There’s basically no hand-holding at all. Combat is similar in that it can be difficult if you find yourself in an area you aren’t ready for yet (like I did).

There are lots of hidden pathways, ladders and chests to find. They do a good job of showing you treasure chests and shortcuts that are just out of reach, and you have to really observe and think about how to navigate to get there. To me the world design has big Dark Souls 1 energy in that way - already I’ve had that same “omg it’s Firelink Shrine?!” experience as I explore and open up paths.

The 100 hour mark is a tough one to hit - even some of the best games I’ve played aren’t that long or replayable, and the ones that are usually cost more than $10. Still, here are some to check out if you want. I’ll list the price on Steam in Canadian dollars and my current total play time.

• The Messenger - on sale for $5.19 - 35 hours
• Infinitode 2 - Free to play - 47 hours
• Ori and the Blind Forest - on sale for $6.24 - 23 hours
• Risk of Rain 2 - on sale for $9.56 - 81 hours (new to my library, less than 1 month)
• Undertale - on sale for $2.74 - 28 hours

What about other stores?

They’re $75+ elsewhere. And I refuse to buy from sketchy “marketplace” sellers on sites like Best Buy where I see reviews saying they’re used but advertised as new, missing components, etc.

Yeah, I shouldn’t have been surprised. This is normal psychopathic behaviour for a corporation.

I tried and I got, “Wayback Machine has not archived that URL.”

You didn’t happen to take screenshots did you? It’s something that should be reported to the media as well

I wish I had thought of it. I tried the Honey extension which sometimes shows historical prices, but no luck this time. I couldn’t find any other way to double check the previous prices either.

They are ridiculously expensive to begin with, thus my waiting for a special occasion to spend that much money to get a first-party one. Here it is, probably priced lower than the others because of the ugly colour that I kind of like.
