Comment on itch.io reveals just how much AI slop is flooding gaming storefronts in ~games

I didn't personally experience it but I've had friends tell me about it. The system apparently self-regulates (?) because voting against the majority too many times means you lose access to voting altogether. I'm not sure how you'd begin the selection process but I think there are a lot of passionate people who would be willing to donate their time to something like that.

I might double-dip in some of the categories for extra games because I belatedly remembered I technically have three libraries but mostly filled out the card with ideas from my "main" stash...I'm not going to commit to finishing ALL of them but I am going to sincerely try playing 30 minutes of each one before I allow myself to check it off the bingo card. I might try to do a little mini write-up on my thoughts for each but I won't let it be a dealbreaker.
Here are a few that I'm particularly excited about!
- Has permadeath: Cult of the Lamb
- Popular game you never got around to trying: Terraria
- A solo-dev project: Undertale
- Has cards: Balatro (I really hope I hate this one because I've heard it's addictive)

I've been caught up in thinking about death a lot recently and this really got to me. I need to go hug my parents now. I really appreciate the share @chocobean.

I suppose I'm trying to understand the appeal because the video said the game is pretty old and there are lots of other new MMOs (one of my fave streamers has been playing Monsters & Memories recently and my friends have been hyping AION 2 to me). M&M has retro graphics too but Idk if they're emulating a different MMO style that makes it irrelevant to the conversation and obviously A2 is more akin to Lost Ark but it's still very popular.

But certain settings being turned on seemed to make it not want to open the game at all? A lot of the advice online seems to boil down to "Have you tried turning it off and on?" which was not super helpful :(

I could have sworn I saw something alluding to a port but I can't seem to find the article and I'm wondering now if it was just AI slop? :( Sadness. I briefly gave it a try on the shad emulator (maybe two weeks ago?) but playing with keyboard and mouse felt uhhhh very difficult. The very first encounter gave me crazy motion sickness so I decided to revisit it when I feel more patient to see if I could find some settings that work for me. I've been told by everyone I know that I should be playing these games on a controller but I have yet to find one that feels comfortable for smaller hands...Maybe someday!
I know there was a tentative rumor about the DeS remake eventually getting ported but I think I will put it in my waiting pile. If I figure out my Bloodborne issues then I will try it out sooner.
I really loved Elden Ring for the lore and exploring more than anything. I don't know anything about DS lore so I think DS1 is a good place to start :) thank you again!

Bloodborne is on my list but it was recently-ish announced that it will get a PC port and I'm waiting for that.

If you like, I found these related things on some (new to me) terms: polychronicity and monochronicity, their relationship and individual characteristics, this one more focused on polychronicity. I've put them in my "to read after work" pile but wanted to share because they seem neat :)

Spoiler: That proportional theory is incomplete and there are other factors that matter to our perception of time so the "18 is the magic age" thing is probably not that true? At least that was my understanding after the duckduck browse I had for 10 minutes :)
That little side quest of random research (on my otherwise normal Wednesday) did make the last 15 minutes feel a little bit longer than "normal"...Yay! The dopamine I receive from this will also increase my temporal awareness and then I'll be feeling so smug that I'll be insufferable and time-aware aaaall day. Now to do this for years and years. I'm sure that will be super easy...

Hello my fellow tildestians (tilderinos?) - I'm looking to upgrade a very old home router (a hand-me-down linksys of some variety). I game quite a lot (my computer is connected via ethernet to the current router) (often while others folks are streaming shows elsewhere in the house) so preferably something that is able to handle that? Maybe something that would allow a later upgrade with mesh? I don't know what a mesh is but I see them recommended in a lot of these "best router of 2026" lists so maybe that's something I need to look into.
I've seen a lot of recommendations for asus and tp-link and ubiquiti? I am not super technically inclined so ease of set up is a nice bonus but I'm willing to put in the effort if needed >_< Budget is around ~300 usd. Blessings be if you have the time and knowledge to spare for me :) thank you!
(also, if this is in the wrong topic please relocate me with my sincerest apologies)

I'm pretty much a keyboard and mouse player exclusively (even for things like Elden Ring) and inputs don't always translate the best.

Comment on Looking for low-mess wild bird feeder or birdseed recommendations in ~hobbies

If it's specifically the shells from the sunflower seeds that concern you then you could also get a bag of hulled sunflower seeds which would result in less mess overall. Semi-related, if you're having fun with seeing the birds, I'd HIGHLY recommend getting the Merlin Bird ID app. It is SO helpful with things like identifying bird song but also a lot of fun to record all the birds I see day to day.

I really hope more characters become available soon. I'm by no means the best slayer of spires but I love puzzling out what makes a deck good or bad and trying new things. It's given me a lot of inspiration for my own game (where progress feels like it's at a crawl but I'm trying my best!).
Other honorable mentions of the month: No Rest for the Wicked, Ravenswatch, and Cat Mail Co. which have all been very fun and different experiences. Cat Mail Co. actually has me puzzling over whether or not I'd like to try my hand at a 3D game but Blender scares me!

I'm curious to know if it's worth a try while I wait for the next DLC update. It's absolutely my favorite roguelike next to Slay the Spire.
(Or are they both roguelites because there are unlockables that persist between runs? I still get the term mixed up...)
Hello fellow ADHD-er! This gave my brain the envy even though I have uh, mediocre at best sewing skills? But the kit makes it seem so approachable. I really like the patterns and the thoughtful items in the bundle. If you ever make them available to purchase online I would love to support you :3 Thank you for sharing a new thing. I am inspired to look up more patterns to admire and maybe find one to be a new phone background for winter~
