Far Cry 3 was the game that got me to stop buying Ubisoft games. I enjoyed the game, but when someone invited me to an online match (something that almost never happened for me) I found that playing online required some U-Play account or whatever they called it, and it cost $10. I tried the free account code that came with the game, but my brother already used it. So at that point I was pissed. I didn’t play online often, but it would’ve been nice to play with one of the very few friends I had without being expected to pay more money for the game I already paid for.

Fuck Ubisoft. I hope that company burns.

La-Mulana would have to be one of my top picks. With the catchy music, the “fuck you” difficulty, and the classic adventure theme really makes it stand out in my mind.

There’s !animalswithjobs@lemmy.world.

Too much paperwork.

A coworker once started a conversation with “I wonder how much it would cost to purchase a child”.

It looks like there are a few games I was slightly interested in trying at some point, but not enough to buy them, but having so many together as a single purchase, I couldn’t resist. I even paid the default price of $20 instead of $10.

Cool. I’ve got a couple recommendations that I feel are criminally underated (less than 200 reviews on Steam). I should post about them later.

You don’t want your cherished memories (and darkest secrets) being automatically uploaded to facebook? What’s wrong with you?

I just finished playing Among Ashes and I thought it was quite good but I finished it in about 7 hours. This isn’t an old game though, but it has a retro style for much of the game.

Any tips for fitted sheets?

I think he’s about 12 now.

Maybe not that guy specifically, but the Goods Unite Us app is basically a big list of brands and products and which parties they’ve donated to.

My mom was a nurse (now retired) and she worked night shift part time, so she was never able to get into a regular sleep schedule. It got even worse when they switched her to 12-hour shifts two days a week. She still has trouble sleeping through the night, except now it’s mostly because of the cats.

I think that fox news and other right-wing propaganda media must be dealt with first. Otherwise they’ll continue to demonize any movement that attempts to fix things and ensure that nothing changes.

Cat vomiting somewhere in the room.

I’m a software developer, and I sometimes if I’m asked how something works, I can find it difficult to explain things in a way that would make sense to the listener, whether they are a PM or the client.

Other times, depending on the question, I simply don’t know the answer, and it could take hours for me to gain enough understanding of the project to even respond intelligently.

When my cat had to go to the vet, someone else would drive while I held the carrier open and pet the cat and let her look out the window. She would still cry, but not constantly.

Would fans pay to watch a short, fat guy write code while wearing nothing but his underwear (and sweat pants, and a slightly over-sized t-shirt)?
