Of all the fucking things to be upset about across the entire world and this is your fight your gonna spend your limited resources on earth on? Starting shit online about a stupid topic to feel like you actually mean something today? You got some weird shit going on man and not the good kind IMO.
But first. Its not an arch like in a movie, its not a narrative. Its a complete story. The narrative to that story is subject to change but is still based around the actual events. Which played out redemptively at some point and is a part of the established history now.
Secondly. You are constantly asking for a logic to the emotion of it all over here and asking to have someone explain that to you like it’s so easy. You are going to need to read some psychology if you want to validate your noticing/noting the parallels between nurturing and being a baby and vulnerability and all that and that making us susceptible to emotional attachment to free things given freely over a period of time if you want but stop asking here its not the time.
He felt bad about situation. You ever run a studio? Building? Never? Professional obligation mixed up with your personal human judgement? No? Fantastic then assume that its not all fun and promises get made for 1000 reasons. Nervousness. Overconfidence. Obligating yourself to do it later because you said you would. These are everyday practices in that area. He got his big boy pants on and went to the interviews and lied (read: manager promised). (Why he “promised” is subject to opinion and thus the “narrative” you suggested divides right there) ‘Promising’ like that, however, doesn’t work well in that fan type of environment. And he felt bad about it. It actually really bothered him. We arent always who were trying to be. He fucked up. He let real people down by being impulsive. He stopped interviewing I think completely. And its likely mostly his fault that this all happened (unless the studio was talking to each other about those features and making unofficial promises internally which would help explain some of the false promises made)
That would have been the whole story if he/they had just walked. But it appears theyre just not that kind of people. Sean is, however, CLEARLY total shit at promising stuff 😂 (and thus the twitter emojis to announce updates) But they could have wanted to do those features but probably also said don’t tell the media that shit which happens all the time in studio productions. They’re were likely things they didn’t yet know they could do (independent studio and all) but wanted to do very badly and were literally working on. (Fuckin’ Creatives you know? Amirightoramiright /being sarcastic here don’t be too offended)
So. The updates ARE the fucking apology bro 🤦 and a love letter to the whole embarrassing ordeal.
Or at least they were for few years or however long it took them to add everything even VAGUELY promised that wasn’t clearly “what are our intentions are for the game how is it supposed to feel” type talk. (That people hold him accountable for even now, like star wars nerds and George Lucas. Honestly that energy had to go somewhere 🤓) Now its an entire, see how far we can push this game, sales are stable so why stop, corporate is just us anyways, Terraria-esqe love-of-the-game, the community has been good to us and they love us and that’s how we love them back thing.
But your social engagement consists mostly of this so I’m worried you don’t really get emotions outside your own views and probably can’t be trusted to change that big ol’ galaxy brain style opinion of yours this but I’m sure trying here anyways, good practice if nothing else 🤔
A person put in the time, to create an entire post, about how this guy is romanticized and doesn’t deserve it, for attention on the internet and I’M the one who is taking it personally huh?
I’ve seen shit like this posted and reposted for like 8 years now. Did my thing here inconvenience you for what, like 30 seconds? Sorry for giving a frankly good goddamn answer to his direct question addressed to me personally on this public forum thing 😤
Youre not taking it personally enough, cause it is in fact meant personally
I think the company is shit for delivering a shit product. It is less shit for finally delivering some of what was promised but it’s still a shit company
Do you like puzzle games? I played Blue Prince with my wife and that was pretty fun. She’s not much of a gamer, so I just drove and she took notes. We talked about decisions/speculated on puzzles together.
I heard puzzle games and am legally obligated to shill Petal Crash (and it's upcoming sequel). It's a great accessible entry point into versus puzzles, and tbh it's practically the only good thing to happen to the genre in a decade or so.
Can also check out Panel Attack as a FOSS clone of Panel de Pon, and FightCade for emulating all kinds of classics with netplay.
Seriously? How has no one suggested Untitled Goose Game or did I miss it? It is frigging hilarious and if you both like humor and fooling around as a mischievous goose, it is perfect! I played it with my 7 year old and we had tons of fun, plus the ending was the cherry on top!
Edit: also, similarly hilarious but a bit more stressful to play, Pizza Possum, my kid was and is nornally absolutely not into fast-paced gaming, but this one was an expection and is also hilarious to play together and it was a blast collecting all the gadgets. We still come back to both games regularly.
Bokura, 2d puzzle platformer played with 2 players
Minor gameplay spoilersBoth players are seeing a completely different world. Different art, different puzzle elements. It is about communicating exactly what is happening, and puzzle solving.
It requires Steam, both players need to own the game, and two separate devices to play on (one for each player). Iirc networking goes through Steam, no way to selfhost.
I’ve posted about this somewhere else too, maybe a different account idk.
But for games to play with people that aren’t really “gamers” I actually prefer single player games with light amounts of fast paced action or none at all. The “coop” comes from taking turns with the controller.
This works well with puzzle or logic games with generous reaction time requirements (again, or none at all), as well as story based games with light action. A lot of these games also come with natural pauses in the story that provide opportunities to either swap who is driving or put the game down for the day.
I’ve had a lot of success playing through many of these titles with partners. I’m sorting these roughly by category and then how strongly I recommend them. Some of these games I haven’t actually played yet, but I know them to fit the overall vibe.
Puzzle/Logic - no reaction time required
Chants of Sennaar (HIGHLY recommend, requires decent notes and map making, so the person not using the controller still has a job)
Strange Horticulture (HIGHLY recommend, also requires some light note taking to make life easier)
Strange Antiquities (sequel to above, have not played yet, high expectations)
Return of the Obra Din (have not played yet, high expectations)
The Case of the Golden Idol + DLCs (STRONGLY recommend, got a bit burnt out by the end, but very fun, also light note taking)
The Rise of the Golden Idol (sequel to above, have not played yet, moderate to high expectations)
Baba is You (HIGHLY recommend, nice learning curve but becomes brutally difficult towards the end of the game)
Myst (HUGE game, very good, but daunting and little to no hand holding, detailed notes required)
Kind of a category within a category, haven’t played these, but they’ve been referred to as 1.5 player games.
Spiritfarer
Chicory
Child of Light
Puzzle/Logic - aim and reaction time needed
Portal 1
Portal 2 (and its coop if you have 2 devices)
Portal Reloaded (community mod adding a portal through time with some seriously mind bending puzzles)
Portal Revolutions (another mod, haven’t played yet but looks fun)
Viewfinder (HIGHLY recommend, spiritual successor to Portal IMO and a very, very good game)
Superliminal (HIGHLY recommend, a “Portal-like” that uses perspective as the core mechanic)
Story Based - some action sequences requiring aim and reaction time and some puzzling
Stray (just a cute good time with some spooky, heart rate spiking moments where you really don’t want your kitty to get hurt)
Alien Isolation (if you’re horror movie people at all this is like an interactive movie)
Shadows of a Doubt (might be a miss for a lot of people, immersive detective sim)
Firewatch (played this a long time ago, might not hold up)
Dredge (spooky but cute fishing sim with good story)
Summertime Madness (not much reaction time needed, but still some aim or speed based puzzles)
All of these that I’ve played were on either Arch (custom), Arch (Garuda), or NixOS based systems under Proton. Two of those systems were installed from scratch and they performed flawlessly, so if you’re on a system that handles all the audio and video driver installation for you things should be very smooth. The Garuda machine is a laptop from 2016 that is plugged into my TV and actually saw the most play time for these titles. It held up perfectly. The other two systems were back to back installs on my fairly beefy desktop, but installation and running the games was smooth after the initial effort to get the systems fully functional with drivers and controller support.
These are the good ones (the ones where I felt like she was having a blast) which should run on anything. She’s also not good at games and has a fairly low-powered laptop. Looking back at them I can‘t believe we‘ve played that many lol
We‘re currently playing Schedule I but it‘s so buggy in co-op that I can‘t recommend it…
@Innerworld could you please add the link to the source(s) to your posts?
I guess you are just pasting the Astronomy Picture of the Day in here, which is nice. But maybe link to the relevant post (or its original source), so that people not aware of this can learn from the added context the sources provide.
