More historically-themed disco, nice!

Doubt. But while they’re at it how about some limits on how much a property assessment can increase each year? My house has gone up 10 to 15% for the last 3 years, which causes property taxes to go up, which causes my mortgage to go up. I’m paying $200 per month more than I was in 2020.

Seems like a great idea to me.

That wasn’t clear to me either, I will try it again.

Pacific Drive had one of the most atmospheric intros I’ve seen since Half Life. It loses a little once you start scavenging and crafting and get your HUD, but still a unique game. Like a cross between My Summer Car and STALKER.

Well yeah, but on Steam and without tricks like launchers and DRM.

I don’t know why it works but it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen.

I had a game watch around 5th grade. It was LCD and had a tiny little joystick at the bottom of the screen. It would play imitations of games like Pac Man and Space Invaders. Apparently I wasn’t ghosty enough because it got confiscated pretty quickly.

I had no idea. The people working on Proton are wicked smart.

You don’t have to do any of that, but just walking around you will get attacked by all manner of creatures so I would take Witcher 3 off the list on that basis.

It’s already happening!

I have others I would like to change, like potatoes. Where does the e come from, how about potatos?

And handful, it should be a simple compound word, where does the other l go?

You think they didn’t make sure the game was square?

The developers of the game? I’d give it a 50/50 shot, how many times do people get so enthusiastic about something that they are more worried about doing it rather then whether they should be doing it? Maybe they are Pokemon fans that saw a big market and weren’t happy with the quality or output of Pokemon games. The company that made the game is called Pocket Pair and seems to only have 3 games:

Palworld (2024) Craftopia (2020) Overdungeon (2018)

If nothing else the creatures are very similar and it’s impossible to know how a court would rule on that. The line between infringement and non-infringement can be blurry and hopefully Pocket Pair is prepared to defend their content.

I don’t know, I used to let my young niece play GTA 4 at least, supervised the whole time of course. The rule was you could drive around until you crashed or hit someone, then we switched players. Generally there is no trouble unless you make trouble. The pedestrians can make rude comments but having the volume low solves most of that.

dan1101 , 5 months ago to nostupidquestions in When people talk about returning the cart after shopping, does that include putting it in a corral, or do you have to take it all the way to the front of the store to be a good person?

It’s not your fault it’s the customers who don’t put their carts back combined with those of us who care about our cars.

I think it’s more like “We are aware of it” and also unspoken “we are investigating legal action.”
