Is the stickied “What are you playing” post going to be updated? The current one is over a month old.
Anyways, I’ve been playing Penny’s Big Breakaway, and I am enjoying it thoroughly. It’s like a blend of Cappy mechanics from Mario Odyssey with a THPS style combo chaining system, and staged in levels reminiscent of 2D Sonic but transposed into 3D. The skill cap is way higher than your typical 3D platformer, and personally I find this type of design to be way more interesting than a collectathon.
It’s awesome if you get a lot of enjoyment out of combo chasing and improving your times, but I can tell it’s going to be divisive for those expecting a more conventional platformer. I have a feeling that this is going to end up on many “hidden gems” lists in the future.
A buddy of mine gifted me a copy of Helldivers 2 the other day, so I've been spending some time spreading Managed Democracy across the galaxy. Mostly going back and forth between Helldivers and The Finals lately.
I felt like going back to swtor. My main account was disabled, expired or something and I can't recover it without calling some dumb schmucks working for EA support.
Went in on a secondary account I used to bypass the character restrictions and now I'm scratching the itch until it finally dies for good.
It has a daily login reward, some kind of battle pass, everything is paywalled, limited number of rewards, they changed character creation and unified classes, but pvp is active.
Planetbase, it doesn’t take long to figure out but I’m trying to unlock the other more challenging planets at the moment which just takes time.
I’m on the lookout for challenging survival management/city building games if anyone can recommend one? Something like Banished, This War of Mine or Frostpunk.
Always loved that the second I was doing better than they were or just got to a further point than them they’d rip the controller away and say something like “I got it I got it, stop hogging the game!” Then would cry and scream if I beat it for them because inevitably 12 minutes later they’d ask for help again and no amount of showing them would help them figure it out.
It’s kind of dumb but honestly fun as hell if you can find a working peripheral: DJ Hero honestly still rips. The music rocks and you can change the music on the fly
On a more accessible side Hades does a good job increasing in intensity as things get more chaotic
Like a Dragon/Yakuza. Its not dynamically adaptive, but you definitely feel the soundtrack and they sync really well to fightsz. It also is synced perfectly to boss intros!
Depends on the stone. The coefficient of heat flow in stone is very low, so the heat will take forever to flow through the stone. But it should be quite evenly warmed at the top in a few hours if you keep feeding the fire. And it would be more or less immune to flare-ups and other issues.
However, you’d need to use a big slab of granite or something with more-or-less uniform properties, zero porosity (so no moisture or air bubbles are expanding or flashing to steam), and there’s still a chance that fast heating or cooling causes it to crack.
Or just use a metal slab with a pizza stone on top.
