I wasn’t aware about the similarities with Dark Souls, and about the designer’s previous interests.

I guess what I needed was a strong recommendation. Just purchased the game on Steam after checking for its compatibility on ProtonDB (it is platinum).

Thank you for the recommending the game, and for taking away the chore of deciding what to play this weekend.

Again, I am really glad we had this conversation.

Is the funny thing here the absurdity of the whole thing? Genuinely asking.

Thanks again for the recommendations. Blue Prince looks refreshingly good and different. I did hear quite a bit about Clair Obscur, but turn based gameplay never appealed to me. I did not play Baldur’s Gate 3 for the same reasons, in spite of it being so well received.

I agree with your criticisms about Ghosts of Tsushima, and have made similar observations as well. However, Ghost of Tsushima and Spider-Man are my comfort games where I just soak in their music and atmosphere while I do something else like talk with someone.

Thank you for making me notice. I cannot not see it now.

“Chalmers, is that you?”

¿Por qué no los tres?

I have been very lucky at times because I got to work with people who got the point I was trying to make through my ramblings, especially during the start of my career.

Of course there have been many occasions where people had little patience, and it drove me to make my points simpler and direct.

This is taking “testing in production” to a whole new level. How did this get past the regulations?

On second thoughts, does any country have concrete regulations for self driving vehicles? I am curious what they would be, and how they would quantify the thresholds since no self driving solution would be 100% accident-free.

I also have felt that in my older age I'm gravitating more towards medium-length games with a proper story that you can finish and put away, as opposed to the endless MMOs and grindy ARPGs I enjoyed in my youth.

You could not have captured it better.

I am glad we had this conversation. Please do recommend me some more games. if you do not mind.

I was on a long break from gaming (almost a year) due to life, and plan to resume weekend gaming soon. For the same reason, I have been scouting these communities and threads for recommendations.

As of now, I zeroed down on the Mass Effect trilogy on the Steam Deck but I am also considering a second play through of Ghosts of Tsushima. I would prefer a light(er) game which is easy to get into and allow me to take breaks as I don’t think I will be able to pull off hour long sessions initially.

I guess I am lucky that it does not refuse to work since it is my default browser across all my machines.

Why?

Does one reboot their entire system after updating Firefox on Linux?

I never do. I don’t even restart Firefox after updating, if it is already running.

I like when a game isn't deliberately wasting your time.

Well said.

Also, PoE is a game that I have not visited in almost a decade. How is it now? When I played it last, it felt like Diablo 2 but with very little explicit story to experience (it had lore that one could discover). I gave up on the game after a few days since without a proper story, the grind got boring very quickly.
