If you're really enjoying yourself I'd considering picking up Phantom Liberty as well. I played through the main game shortly after it came out on PS5. I was very 'meh' about it. But I recently picked up Phantom Liberty and started a whole new game, I probably doubled my play time, and still spent 4-5 hours after I'd finished all the story missions, just bumming around bc I was still so enamored of it. The story missions in Phantom Liberty are, in my opinion, better, bigger, and more emotional than the main game.

I've heard people say you should start a new game. Which I did. But I think you'd be ok to jump in if you wanted. There's a new neighborhood that it mostly takes place in. To start it, you have to complete some main game story mission about 3/4 of the way in, if I remember correctly.

This is a shame. But I'm honestly surprised London Studio lasted this long. I loved Blood & Truth, but I'm surprised that they were sustained on Sing Star games for two decades. I mean, I know from a corp perspective they want to buy up people to stifle competition and then they don't need the people because they never intended to utilize the output. But like, gosh, use what you've got. How bad could their fantasy London game have been for them to not only axe it but shut down the dev...

Alba is a really sweet game with a photography mechanic. It's short and usually cheap and well worth the time you'll spend with it if it sends like something you'd like.

It's grim. Obviously twitter still holds sway over a lot of people. And spreading malinformed propaganda is bad.

But it really underlines that anyone with any conscience whatsoever needs to disengage from it. It's not okay for governments to engage with it. And though I don't suggest that capital cares has any sort of conscience, but engaging with it has been increasing in cost and decreasing in benefit. NPR recently left, for example, and saw nearly no impact whatsoever. So the cost of leaving is low.

Ideally people would deny it any money, advertising or otherwise, until it ceases functioning. I suspect Musk will continue to be a delusional asshole for years to come. But at least twitter will be dead and gone.

It's stupidly easy and works well with any sauce that you're happy to dip bread in.

Pan-fried eggs in sauce is a really versatile technique. I think what tried to say was that any quality of tomato sauce you like will work well to make a good shakshuka, from jarred to freshly made. But you can also use other sauces: green salsa, and pesto eggs are good too. I do like to have some kinda starch ready, if it's saucy. Or just for runny yolks. Pita, tortilla, crusty loaf; whatever's most appreciate

I'm a vegetarian, so I'm...whatever. But I see no real difference between cow/horse. I saw the six downvotes and was, if I'm honest, hoping for a little drama in the comments. But it's not here. It seems like kbin/lemmy may have plateaued re user growth, at least for the time being. And I've been a bit bummed about it, generally. But this was a pleasant surprise.

I've been waiting for years. Before RDR2 came out. But you're absolutely right. Waiting for a couple months and I'm confident we'll see a real sale. The whole reissue/not remaster game is not playing out the way they'd hoped. Remember the GTA Master collection or whatever the hell they call it?

It really is a charming game. I think this article does a good job describing some of is delights. What really struck me though is that the main mechanics are things that you'd find in a leechy freemium mobile game. But they're layered in complimentary loops that make the whole FAR more than the sum of it's parts.
