    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.

    How is there not a supercut of just the dropout parts of this episode yet? From what everyone is saying the episode isn't worth watching if you aren't a fan of the show already, so if you just want to see the dropout parts, I expected someone would have cut together those scenes by now.

    I don't just mean the description of the movie. I meant the reason why someone is saying this movie is worth watching. What makes this movie worthy of being on this list and worth people giving it a shot. Sometimes the hook in the description might be enough, but usually it isn't.

    The thing I hate with lists like these is that it's just the title. Which is not enough to go on. I wish they would give a brief one sentence description of WHY this movie deserves to be on here....

    The thing I hate with lists like these is that it's just the title. Which is not enough to go on. I wish they would give a brief one sentence description of WHY this movie deserves to be on here. Is it a gut wrenching story about a family's loss or a unique premise or setting that hasn't been done before. Or an example of the best of its type of genre.

    Not everyone is going to like every film and I guarantee any random person you picked wouldn't like every single movie on this list. I would be surprised to find a single person who loved every single one of these films if they watched them all.

    There's plenty of films people swear by and I watch and hate it or films that the majority hate but I love. People have different opinions and titles aren't enough to tell if it's something worth looking into for your personal tastes.

    It's weird cause "yellow alert" and "red alert" are relatively mainstream terms at this point. Weird to go for amber alert that has a totally different meaning.

    This seems a bit too good to be true. But if it does do as it claims I sure hope our medical system doesn't take advantage of this is any way instead of just bettering humanity.

    Yup! Exactly! Especially once the storm gets worse and you're trying to navigate between buildings. Got turned around a few times with that! Gotta utilize the rope and light poles!

    Just played Near Death over the weekend. It was a fun little exploration survival game. Only takes about 2 hours to play through, but the simplicity of the game makes that the perfect amount of time.

    You crash next to an abandoned Antarctic research base with your only communication a typewriter that's linked to another base a few hundred miles away. The people at that base try to help you with information as a huge storm is bearing down on your location so no one can come in to get you.

    As you progress you'll have to scrounge for supplies to keep you warm in the -80 degree storm and repair parts of the base that have broken or fallen into disrepair. The base is a bunch of different sets of buildings all separated by a good distance of outside so you have to run through the storm to get to different areas for supplies and parts.

    The simple mechanics are super engaging. The only danger is the cold and you have to find ways to keep yourself warm or you die. Had a lot of fun with it and highly recommend to anyone who finds that concept interesting.

    I'm curious why you seem to think social media has no affect on attention spans.

    I think it's pretty obvious it has had an effect. I've noticed it in myself even. How much of an effect depends on the person. And it's not the only factor sure.

    But I find it wild to claim that it has no effect and am curious where you are coming from with this deduction.

    Yeah there's currently the main starting planet and two moons with the base game, and 2 DLCs that have a new planet each.

    And they announced they'll be adding another free moon sometime this year.

    It's an amazing game, I started a new playthrough since I've done everything in my main save, and it's hard starting over. So I can't wait for the new moon to have a reason to come back.

    Amazing game
