@muhyb@chloyster I’m wrapping up 16 right now and was debating 3 next. Or maybe a fallout since I watched episode one of the show and haven’t played anything other than 1,2 and 3
But I wanted to point a tangent, from the article you linked:
outstretched middle, ring, and pinky fingers to represent a Roman numeral “3.”
Coincidentally, the Romans would count like 👍👉👌… instead of “thumb, index, middle” for the numeral “3”, because that resembled the letters “IV”, which were the first two letters of “IVPITER”, or “Jupiter”, formerly known as “Zeus”, the God of Gods, and making the “IV” sign in vain was considered a blasphemy… similar to how Jewish people wouldn’t “use the name of God in vain”, which lead to the expression “hallelujah” from “hallelu-Yah***”, meaning “praise Yah***”… in order to also not say the whole name of God. Curiously, Muslim people have no problem with saying “Allah” or writing “ﷲ”, just with depictions of their prophet, go figure.
These sign shenanigans have been going on for thousands of years, only difference is now a “meme” with 10 comments on 4chan, can become a hate sign used by thousands or millions in less than a decade.
PS: another curious one, is the ✋ “Hi!” vs. the Greek 🖐 “I smear 💩 on your face”… best not to confuse them 😉 (“oops, got something in my eye” /s)
@chloyster Guild Wars 2 World vs World and Ghost Recon Breakpoint (which was on deep discount). The latter appears to have been mostly turned around with regards to its release bugs but I am still in the process of gauging the capability of the enemy AI.
The fact that you can tweak the gameplay details on a scale of "the division Style looter shooter" right up to "almost mil-sim" levels is quite impressive to me.
@chloyster I started playing Verdun this week. I wanted to attend to their Christmas event. It's basically a mode after that incident in 1916 when some units of the armies fighting on the Western front began approaching each other. In the game you can play football (and the winning team wins the game basically), but you can also throw snowballs at other players and if they're hit, they freeze for a while. You can also send postcards via email to others if you go to the mailmen. Or via Facebook or Xitter (if I remember correctly). It would be great to be able to send these here on the fediverse, but eh...
@chloyster Still playing Stardew Valley. But I just got a dock to my Deck, and an SD Card. Moved all the remaining games from my PC to my External Drive, plugged that shit into the dock and installed whatever the fuck I'm not finished yet or wanna play. Fuck yea, let the fun begin!
@chloyster good, he's been a plague on the industry. When you see your customers as wallets with legs you are bad for the people and bad for the company.
@chloyster I started playing Surviving Mars on my Steam Deck. Although it shows as non-verified, it's a pleasure to play it and it keeps me in for quite a lot of time if I'm not careful enough. Well worth it.
@chloyster So if I want to reinstall a game I have to decide if it's worth making the dev pay more money due to my game reinstall or install on another device? Is that what I'm reading?
