  • If you’re willing to hunt for a 2009 oldie, I have a guilty love for The Saboteur.

    GTA/Assassin’s creed esque where you play a race car driving Irishman helping the resistance in WWII, Nazi occupied Paris.

    Gameplay can be repetitive, but free roaming Paris was a lot of fun. Plus, when I finally travelled to Paris IRL, I had a few “I know this place!” moments that felt really cool as a first-time visitor.




  • Random factoid: Way back in the early PlayStation days, the O button was the default “accept/enter” buton, and the X was the “cancel/back” button, because that aligned with the national consensus of O = correct/confirm, and X = incorrect/cancel in Japan. But when the console was introduced in North America and Europe, they started remapping the X and O to align with other western consoles using X, like the Xbox. That said, I distinctly remember early PS1 games being a sort of wild west of which button would be confirm, so I suspect it was also done in response to western gamers struggling to adapt.


  • (Playing tongue-in-cheek devil’s advocate) In order to lose weight, a body needs to be undernourished in relation to the minimum required to maintain that weight. Being undernourished at a non-starvation level produces hunger drive. I doubt any of the humans who decided he needs to lose weight speak fluent cat, so he didn’t have any say or insight into what’s being done to him. As such, from his perspective, he -hasn’t- been fed enough, and doesn’t have a reason for being hungry. So this cat should not be called a liar. He’s out there bravely sharing his truth with the world. He should be applauded and then fed.


  • They’re saying they’d rather have had the money that went towards the purchases of switch 2s left in the form of cash, rather than spent for them.

    It’s a relevant critique because with their latest releases, Nintendo’s doing the same ‘cost increase to the detriment of employees and customers’ dance as the other big gaming corpos.

    A person can agree something is better than the horrible baseline, and still bring up a topic of discussion on something that isn’t great.

    Also, re: 2 weeks paid time off; look outside of 'Murica once in a while. The global average of paid days off is ~25. So 2 weeks, while lovely for America, is below normal.
