You can get a used sas controller for cheap in most cases. Or try your luck with the generic stuff on Amazon.

Pancakes or waffles.

My outfits tend to have small pockets, my phone fits snugly with absolutely no room for anything else.

So maybe you just need smaller pockets or a watch phone thingy.

I suspect a big part of the process has shifted focus from making an enjoyable experience to how we can milk this for every dollar it’s worth and then some.

It’s risky trying to explore new avenues as a large company you’re expected to deliver unimaginable returns on your investment. So copying the games that did well will hopefully perform better that quarter. As opposed to spending resources on expanding the engine or trying out a novel idea.

On top of that I suspect the executives are envious of the addictive cash burning cycle that gacha games provide.

I feel like too many games have and continue to copy the formula established by Minecraft and Far Cry 3. I find the experience of exploring a new zone, climbing a tower, unlocking material xyz then rinse and repeat. To be boring and unimaginative. But it seems like I’m the weird one here and people seemingly adore it.

I thought the inventory management of BoTW was awful. It’s not fun to complete a cool quest line get a cool item and for it to break forever after two fights. Wtf

Crafting games such as Valheim have nothing to do aside from grinding for the sake of grinding. Sure building a cool house had some appeal but it’s overall just intentionally tedious.

Baldur’s Gate III was a breath of fresh air. I actually have been thinking for a while that maybe I just didn’t like games anymore until it came out.

I’m also about to start my first Elden Ring run with a group of friends for the first time soon. Excited for that.

The Dark Pictures Anthology has some fantastic stories if anyone is interested.

The amount of metadata sometimes stored in pictures can be insane

😱

Betrayal at House on the Hill

Great board game for 3+ people. Best with a full crew. You and your mates explore a mansion. As you explore a new room you place a tile and something can happen.

It’s meant to have a lot of replayability as each time you play there’s a booklet full of potential end games that you can trigger. Such as the mansion is burning down and you need to escape.

I don’t donate anything but I might buy merchandise. I think the people that do continue to donate are looking to get some sort of perk like a jump scare or some other silliness.

Pokemon, not bad could be much worse I was playing rimworld before that.

If they frequently reference memes IRL, says “lol” with their voice, complain that you don’t answer messages immediately, sit idle in a voice chatroom, notices the the typo, anime profile pic, uses x.com.

I’d suggest broadening your scope.

There’s lots of nerdy ladies out there, but you’re most likely to meet people at conventions and other hobby events. If you’re near NYC that will likely be where to go for that stuff.

You could also explore online forums and support groups on discord. But please understand that these places are not intended for you to seek out women but to meet like minded individuals. Continue to respect the community and people’s boundaries.

You could further your education and try to meet people at college.

The meatballs are optional.

italian wedding soup, so yummy.

It would be fun to do a wonderlands movie instead. Call it bunkers and badasses and do a cute and violent short story.

I found the best way to meet people has been EDM festivals and hobby events.

Boost was really good for Reddit. Not sure about lemmy, if you try it let me know :D

Have you tried playing video games in the language you’re learning?

There’s a bunch of bilingual people in my life and they told me that’s how they learned English.

Imagine using LinkedIn in 2024. 🤣

You might be able to meet someone in a MMORPG. If not the escapism of creating a character and exploring a new world could be appealing.
