I do challenges for the fun of doing them, not for the reward.

Dark Souls at level 1 is absolutely worth doing if you’re replaying the game. It’s a lot of fun, and much easier than you’d think during your first time playthrough.

Surprisingly enough, playing Getting Over It 50 times over for the achievement is one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had. The skill curve is just awesome to experience, my time dropped from 18h all the way down to 10 minutes.

Challenge not worth doing : all achievements on Rayman Legends. The game itself is amazing, but to get the last achievement you need to play daily procedural levels for MONTHS unless you’re a god at the game (and I’m pretty sure the top times are always cheated anyway, so you’re never getting the highest point reward anytime ever)

Cairo Station is awfully difficult, don’t think I will even attempt par time there

I bought the collection a few years ago and played nearly all the titles.

There’s something about these games that makes them feel “off” for me and I can’t quite put my finger on it.

I mean, there’s guns and aliens to shoot, huge buildings and large terrains to cross with cool vehicles. Yet, it never clicked with me. It feels like the games have no soul.

It’s a weird feeling that I could never explain properly.

Fair enough. There’s some games that are big that I can’t get into like that

I didn’t do all the optional bosses in expedition 33. I finished the plot and was so powered up the story bosses didn’t even get a turn. But fighting the billion hp “dodge 13 hits in a row or die” just wasn’t fun for me.

I’ll only answer the first one.

Achievement systems full stop. People who value completion through achievement systems are fucking uncreative persons who need to find a different hobby or reconsider why they enjoy theirs. From a dev standpoint it’s just a way of lazily padding a game.

I’m not talking about completionists of actual game content like collecting all the stars in a Mario game, or catching the 151 pokemon, but moreso the “silver trophy” for killing 2000 grunts or whatever bs achievement ideas they decided to arbitrarily create. You’re diluting the art form.

I’m borderline necroposting, but I just picked up humble’s decked out collection (still available for a little over a week) and noticed Haste, which looks like it has very tasty movement and might be up your alley.

It’s never too late for more recommendations. Haste looks really good. It’s on my wishlist!

This seems to be the source:

…nasa.gov/…/global-image-of-io-true-color/

Thanks! My opinion is that images from NASA, ESA etc should always link to the source. They always include interesting information about what is in the image. It is also nice if I don’t need to search the database for ages.

porcoesphino,
@porcoesphino@mander.xyz avatar

Yeah… I kind of wish it was a request of the channel. I’ve found a few of the sources now and it’s mostly on this channel people seem to post other people’s images with no references

@baguette@piefed.social avatar

I guess OP found this in yesterday’s ‘Astronomy Picture of the Day’, which includes the link you sent. Would’ve cost a second to include it in the post.

I wonder what we can do to help motivate including links to sources

I messaged the moderator asking if we could update the channel description but haven’t heard back

The Steam version of Steamworld Dig had a hidden area with an old bombed-out games store with posters for Half Life 3.

Not true color. This is an “enhanced” photo.

Mac,

Indeed.

This color mosaic uses the near-infrared, green and violet filters (slightly more than the visible range) of the spacecraft’s camera and approximates what the human eye would see.

bear,

It world also appear much darker.

@porcoesphino@mander.xyz avatar

I didn’t think about that. It almost looks metallic, or like the shading you see with 3d modelling software

sukhmel,

The source claims that enhanced is this one: …nasa.gov/…/global-image-of-io-false-color/

Filling out your arsenal with adversary weapons in warframe gets easier the more you do, and a lot of them are really worth while… but maxing them out? Hell no, that’s 5 forma a pop, and the valence bonus is NOT worth re-grinding out. I’m glad DE has made the Infested Adversaries easier to deal with, so the valence bonus is easier to max out but good god. that’s too much forma.
