Making your own protocols means vulnerabilities are more likely. Better to use one that’s been tested and audited (unless it’s following something like this EU thing of course)

Oh my god that trailer was so good

A tower defense game with a microprocessor theme

Does anyone remember that club penguin tower defence game where you defend against computer viruses?

Here’s an underrated game recommendation: Patrick’s Parabox. Probably the most well designed puzzle game I’ve ever played.

Pseudoregalia mentioned!

Also lol at “worse graphics” for Rainworld. An amazing looking game. Though it probably doesn’t actually mean worse graphics, just less realistic graphics

the world also needs more concise games

Yeah!

those 20-40 hour masterpieces

…wait, concise?

Nice. Won’t be playing it till the full release, I still have Hades 1 after all, but all this attention will probably make the game even better than the original

Balatro, game of the year for me so far

The app also doesn’t let you add your own music, though… Very annoying, cause some songs aren’t on streaming services

However long it usually takes Nintendo to approve updates. Dev said approximately a week or two

I agree I always get cramps whenever I play mario kart in handheld. That’s why I buy as many of my games as I can on the Steam Deck instead.

I think you still need a phone number though. I think that’s just for if you don’t want to give out your phone number.

Yeah signal, telegram, and whatsapp all want phone numbers I think. And I don’t think I’d be able to convince my mum to use Discord or Matrix. She’d probably end up using something like Facebook Messenger/Messenger Kids

I’m definitely waiting. If I have a craving for some Hades, I still have the first game

The email vendor doesn’t really matter though unless you are sending or receiving emails. Phone numbers require you to pay a carrier every month. And while most people have phone numbers, some don’t, especially children.

My mum used iMessage to communicate with my sister before she got a phone number. If she switched to Android, I guess there’s Google Chat, but you know how Google is with their chat apps.

Ideally you’d be able to choose between phone number OR email. Like iMessage.

It’s not about worrying that I won’t be able to do stuff again, just the existence of the ever-looming timer is stressful. And you have to water your crops every morning, and harvest them when they’re ready. You can only plant certain crops in certain seasons. There are requests on the bulletin board that have time limits. Shops are only open on certain days, and I know if I don’t do that thing today I won’t be able to tomorrow because it will be closed. If the timer didn’t matter, then there wouldn’t be a timer.

Don’t get me wrong, I like Stardew Valley. But I stopped playing it, partly because I found it too stressful. Which isn’t great cause people always advertise it as this really relaxing game, and I’m sure it is for them, but I guess my brain just works differently. And I really want to like Stardew Valley more, I want to be able to play it and relax.

I’m not even trying to minmax or anything, I try to take my time, but it doesn’t really work. I can’t just ignore the timer, cause then I’ll pass out and wake up with hardly any stamina.

Edit: Also “you can just focus on one thing” sure, but then what do I do for the rest of the day?

Huh, I thought they didn’t. Maybe I’m confusing it with the Google Pixels, I switched away from them because they don’t have headphone jacks anymore. I feel like there was something about the new Zenfones that I didn’t like, idk

I bought the Zenfone 9, but now the new Zenfones don’t have headphone jacks, so I don’t know what phone to buy when I end up needing a new one. There seems to be no phones with headphone jacks that aren’t huge, except for the budget phones

Don’t know how to post the boomerang, but passed everything else (I think) as a 20 year old gen z

You just got lucky, I guess. Or maybe you don’t use the joycons as much? I had to send my joycons back because of drift 3 times. Joycons aren’t full on falling out, but one of them will come out without pressing the button. Kickstand is also pretty useless, falls out from a tiny bit of pressure.
