    That's good to hear! I'm in the middle of another game at the moment so I'll probably start Satisfactory when I finish this one. Can't wait!

    Maybe this won't be the case, but rather than get hyped to finally play the game, better to let it get to a working state to jump in. I played it for about 6 hours a few months ago and was enthralled, but stopped cause I wanted to wait for the 1.0 since it was so close.

    That sounds like FTL, is it rogue like?

    It's an amazing game with so so so much to do. And just insane that it was all developed by one guy.

    I just started a new playthrough for the 1.6 update this weekend and I'm nowhere near getting to any of the new content because there's so much original content to play through first before you can get to the new later game stuff.

    Every system is so well designed and perfectly complex while maintaining a simple interface/interaction for the player. It truly is a masterpiece

    I finished Darksiders Genesis this weekend. It was very meh. I don't think that genre works well with these games. And having it set so far in the past that it barely has anything to do with the main storyline makes it very forgettable and weak.

    It was nice to get a little characterization for Strife finally, but it also didn't really develop much on it either. They played with the idea he had a dark past but didn't do anything with that or explain what happened at all.

    All in all very disappointing. I hope they return to form with whatever the new thing they teased a couple weeks ago is. Hopefully Darksiders 4 with Strife having a full mainline game.

    And then hopefully a final conclusion to the series that doesn't take a years and years to come out.

    My gf subscribed to dropout a couple months ago and we've been watching so many of their shows. It's so good.

    I actually watched an interview with the host in this clip (who is also the owner of the company) explaining his philosophy which in a nutshell is, doing worry about profits, just make good content with good people, and make enough in revenue to support those creative people and their content but don't go crazy trying to grow and fall into the pit of capitalism.

    After that I'm sold on this company and what they do. Not to mention most of their content is hilarious and fills a comedy void that streaming services destroyed.

    I'm excited for this. Loved the Links Awakening remake and was frankly shocked they did nothing else with that engine/art style after all the effort put in to make it so good!

    There was a lot of potential to remake the Oracle games or Link to the Past in that art style. So I'm glad to see it being used again!

    Oh that I don't remember, I haven't used in years at this point, but it was very useful the few years I used it.

    9 years ago I got an Amazon Fire tablet which I jailbroke pretty easily to remove their bloat and install Google Play store. I used YouTube, VLC for watching shows, and a Bluetooth keyboard for some writing. I used it on my lunch breaks at work and it was fantastic.

    I don't know if that's still feasible but it might be worth looking into cause they were super cheap

    With the way the world is these days, it's nice to see news like this. Just some good old technology innovation and hope for something good in the future!

    Only in the context of podcasts, but I use a podcast app for my podcasts so I've never done anything with RSS feeds specifically

    That would be fantastic, I refuse to use Epic due to their terrible business practices. If Remedy can get out from under them that would be so good.

    It's an ethical thing I suppose. I try not to use companies that have blatantly terrible business practices, and reddit pulled a lot of shit over the years and that was just the final straw for me. I almost exclusively browsed reddit on my phone using the RiF app. The official app was so garbage I refused to use it. The rare times I used reddit on a PC I always used old reddit. The new UI is horrible.

    And yeah it has been a real struggle not having the dozens of subreddits I used to for all my interests. I look a little on steam forums for games and YouTube videos/comments for some other things but it's not the same. I know there's discord but I find it really hard to use discord in the same way.

    I don't really care about Ozempic personally, its more the fact that the situation showed me I have a glaring gap in my knowledge that used to be filled by reddit, and that Tildes has only partially replaced. When I was on Reddit, something of that caliber would never have been missed. It's not like I need to know every detail of the story but knowing that it's in the zeitgeist (and important enough for South Park to make fun of it) and it was brand new to me is where this came from.
