    This is surprising considering Jim Carrey seemed to be done with acting with the exception of Sonic which he loves doing

    It's just so antithetical to what games mean to me. I game to relax and have fun and escape the harsh reality and society we are forced to live in. Every day in this world is a struggle and like fighting just to make an inch. I don't want that in my games.

    I do the same but usually blue eyes and a ponytail. It's just aesthetically pleasing I think. I absolutely love red hair and always pick it as my go to hair option. And the ponytail just seems practical. We're about to go through a bunch of shit, whatever it may be. No reason for hair to be flopping everywhere while running and jumping and fighting and whatever.

    Anything too difficult or grindy isn't fun. I don't see the appeal of Soulslikes where you bash your head against a wall 50 times over 3 hours to defeat one boss that should take 3 minutes of it weren't stupidly difficult. I will never understand how people enjoy that.

    Such bullshit. Yeah let's not do a faithful continuation with a bunch of passionate people who were involved with the original run because we can't alienate the audience by making it broad appeal instead.

    Fuck off Amazon. This is why people hate reboots and rehashs. You can't have it both ways.

    Congratulations! This is a really cool take!

    Minor note, you hold to mark mines which is good, but most minesweeper type games, you can hold a number if it has exactly that many open spaces left to mark all open spaces. So if there's a 2 with only 2 open spaces left, you can hold the 2 to mark both instead of marking each space as a mine. Would be cool to have this added if you plan on making updates!

    I was really looking forward to getting them, I had plans for couch co-op with the lady cause she's expressed interest in some of that. I thought these would be perfect, and was waiting for them, which originally were to be released in Q1, then delayed due to the Ram issues for the Machine and Frame.

    But they finally put these out and Im ready to go, and then this shit happens.

    Who knows how long it'll take them to restock. It could be months or longer. I've been waiting since they announced all this back in what November I think? And now waiting yet again.

    I think furious is justified when its an issue that shouldn't have been a problem. They do thousands of payment transactions every day, for decades now, this should not be a pain point for this kind of thing.

    And they already had a system in place for queuing they used for the Index and the decks, why didn't they utilize that to cut down on the server load?? Lot of balls dropped here for no reason

    I am furious, I had two in my cart and was stuck with the damn payment error. People online were saying to keep spamming continue and it'll work.

    I did this for the entire 30+ minutes until the error changed to say the items were sold out.

    Such fucking bullshit. How did they not anticipate the server load needed? And why did they not do a queue like they did for the Index and decks??

    Such a waste of time. I was so looking forward to getting these and now who knows when they'll come.

    Was not expecting to see a sequel to this but I'm excited for it. Trailer looks cool. I enjoyed the first game, very interested to see what they do with a second.

    Finished Prison Escape Simulator yesterday. It was so much fun. I don't know what it is about these low budget, silly, simulator games but they have an addictive gameplay loop and this one was a lot of fun. Something about digging a big hole and getting loot and selling it to upgrade your tools/stats. It's simple and highly effective and entertaining.

    The only part that sucked was I was doing one of the challenges where you have to do it in one shot and can't save, and had a bug where the guard came back earlier than the timer when I was 80% complete so I had to do the whole thing again. Which takes like 2-3 hours to do in one go

    This is the dumbest take. People want to play games, a majority don't care how. If you put your games everywhere you reach the widest audience. Who cares if it's on Steam or PS5? They shouldn't worry about "their ecosystem" they should worry about how many people are playing their games. And they're losing a massive player base by doing this.
