When I played, there absolutely, positively was not a tutorial level. Or even the hint of one. Good to know things have changed!

It's been years since I played. When I did, the only options (at least that I found) were shove and stomp. I guess it's improved since then.

This looks like an ... Interesting show.

Sadly, a cursory image search does not return a picture of a turkey next to Kraken rum and I have only the latter immediately available.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

I quoted a lemmy post using just these words last night.

When I moved to my current house, my wife and kid were at our previous house for a while. I deliberately chose this house for its isolation, so for a while the only people I really spoke to were local cashiers every few days. (Side note: my kid was three at the time and had left a toy triceratops on the back of one of the commodes the day we signed for the house. I never thought a toilet would make me miss someone so much.)

Anyway, I work remotely and had a daily virtual meeting. Most days, that meeting was the first and last time I spoke. I also had some kind of long lived sinus infection going on, so not only did I speak pretty rarely, until I opened my mouth I wasn't even sure if I'd have a voice that day.

If the movie is about Macs, I'm already out.

That seems very likely. I guess my YouTube search skills aren't what I thought they were. Thank you.

I don't know if it's what the original commenter was referencing, but the combat controls - mostly not shown in your list - were extremely unintuitive last time I played it. Otherwise I enjoyed the game.

There's a reason for them! I can't find the original video I saw about it, but this one explains it pretty well:

I also like how sarcastic this person sounds (at least to me) during their sponsor segment.

edit: Removed the timestamp from the YouTube link.

Duke (lemmy.world)
 

This was Duke. He's unfortunately long gone, but he was a good dog. He was the first dog I got as an adult, but really he was my then girlfriend's, now wife's dog. Still, hopefully this clip shows that he loved me as well, at least when she wasn't around.

 

There were a lot of good things that happened, but a lot of things I wouldn't mind having have skipped.

 

Nothing to add here.

 
 

Now it's a genre.

 

I'm not really sure why.

Yesterday I hurt myself sufficiently that I wasn't really able to leave my bed. As such, I did three things: work, sleep and read. I did technically eat, but I couldn't sit up long enough to finish my meal. I did not shower, sadly.

Anyway, because that's not the first time this has happened, I keep a cache of books in my bed to read when I'm immobilized. Most recently it was these two. The one on the right is the one I started last night and the one on the left is the sequel.

Out of the corner of my eye, I keep thinking they're the same book. They're both from 2019, so it's not impossible AI was involved, but it's not terribly likely.

edit: Visuals aside, it's a pretty good series. The books pictured are numbers eleven and twelve and I like the characters enough to have made it this far into the series.

 

But there's something about them I find distracting.

 

I didn't think my cats would care, but since my dog died, Maze has been ... Aggressively affectionate. To the point that I need to shoo her away if I need any alone time. She wasn't this loving any time over her past fifteen years or so of life and didn't seem like she cared about the dog, but she's been completely transformed since then.

 

I mean, just look at it.

edit: For anyone wondering, it's from the first few seconds of HARDY - Sold Out.

 

They almost blend together.
