Takes like this is what gives soulslike players a reputation of condescending elitist gatekeepers. They don’t even have a steep learning curve, early souls games are just janky in how they teach the player the basics.

In case you’re interested (you’re probably not), even soulslikes games usually put the tutorial messages in one place where you can come back to them to reread them

Balatro is turn-based and is easy enough to control. I myself play on mobile, but Steam Deck shouldn’t be very different.

For me, Elden Ring. I enjoy open world exploration and collecting-heavy games, and I also enjoy soulslikes for the strategic combat and variety of options. So ER was like two of my favorite ice cream flavors combined into one delicious meal.

Yes, that would be the context I’m talking about

Yeah, there’s a balance. If you comment every row of your code, you aren’t naming things clearly. If you never comment, the context is always incomplete.

I treat my future self a few months from now as a separate person who does not remember anything about why or what the specific code fragments do. And I’m grateful to my past self for doing the same.

Plus, you never know when you need to actually delegate supporting a particular piece of a solution to another person.

Next you’ll tell me media isn’t the plural of medium.

Absorbing heat from hapless critters that happen to brush a banana leaf to g r o w

Considering this is US, at least they’re not using football fields

I’m sure they can find another publisher if it comes to that, with how good their games are

I mean, you can choose any denominator, as long as you’re using the same one to compare statistics

It just keeps growing back!

It’s load bearing

This one and Balatro have consumed many hours of my phone’s charge

This is why I’ve never really gotten into either League, Dota, or, lately, Deadlock. The matches are just too long and most of the length is padding.

Overwatch has its issues, but at least even the worst match is over after 15-20 minutes. And the stomps are even faster, reducing the amount of time you spend not having fun on either side.

Line of code… right?

Eh, they won’t find out until a few centuries later anyway

Imagine is one of the favourite games in my IRL friend group whenever we get together. It’s basically Alias, but instead of explaining the word verbally, you use transparent cards with shapes drawn on them that you can overlap and move around. It’s chill, fun, and fits any group size.

Calico is my personal favourite, because the concept of making a kitty blanket is just too cute to pass on.

P. S. The link isn’t where I bought the game - I just googled the English version and posted the first link I found.

How about “Go Nazi get shot in the head”
