spoilerAll living things are trapped in “The Cycle”, and no one likes it, they all want to die and be free of the burden of living. They called this “The Big Problem”. To try and find a solution to “The Big Problem”, people* built 3 AI that would constantly be running to try and compute a solution to The Big Problem. This requires a ton of energy, and an ocean’s worth of water to keep them cool. The AIs are generating so much heat that it evaporates oceans worth of water, resulting in periodic violent rainstorms (thus the name of the game). People moved to structures built above the clouds to be safe from the rain. One day, one of the AI finally solved The Big Problem, notified the other AIs that it was solved…and promptly died before sharing it. The remaining two AI (named “Looks to the Moon” and “Five Pebbles”) continue to iterate on solving the problem, but both have all but given up hope. You play as a Slugcat, a species specially evolved by the AI to squeeze through pipes and keep their systems clean. **I said “people”, but I don’t think it’s ever established what planet you’re on or what race of creatures built the AI.*There is a ton of detail I’m skipping…
…but when you start the game, you are merely trying to survive and explore a living ecology full of hostile creatures. The game doesn’t care if you understand any of the lore, it doesn’t care if you “finish” the game, it’s just there to be experienced.
I finished Resident Evil: Village. I was a bit skeptical at first since I don’t really care for the more action RE games from 4 onward, but I ended up really enjoying it.
Other than that, I’m playing Project Diva. I’m trying to get past 8* extremes but I’m struggling with reading, especially when chords appear.
I spent a lot of time trying to set up Sound Voltex with wine and could only get it to work in Bottles using wine-ge, as otherwise gstreamer wouldn’t load the proper codecs. I ended up getting a spare drive and installing windows on it which I’ll keep around for situations like these.
Still grinding World of Warcraft: Legion Remix. Less raids this week, I’m only clearing each one twice every day, instead of three times, but did a couple more Mythic+ dungeons to knock out achievements.
The next phase will start in a few days, along with new quests, but more importantly another raid to farm every day.
I’ll try and believe in the guy to not be a troll.
It could just be bad UX from a Lemmy app. In voyager, for example, it isn’t always clear while browsing a feed, that an image post also has text in its body. But the app lets you reply from the feed view. So, you see a screenshot in your feed, tap the image instead of the post, so you just see a bigger screenshot, and there’s no hint in this view, that there might be text in the body. So, you just type up a reply from there.
Alan Wake. And on a grander scope almost all of Remedy’s stuff. They put everything together where it feels like there’s more out there. There’s no seam in the metaphorical stitching. It feels like even when you reach the end of something there is more.
From less of a deep standpoint? The 3DS fire emblem games. They do some really cool stuff that connects them together.
I always wanted to read a book on the first Bioshock game. I couldn’t really get into the gameplay so I never got far into it or the sequels, but I love the premise idea a lot.
