What is your opinion on Lies of P?
  • I enjoyed it. I 100 percented the game and it really scratched my Sekiro itch. I preferred the combat of Sekiro more but Lies of P was as close as I’ve come to Sekiro. I really enjoy parry mechanics, but I had to fallback more to the dodge behind and attack mechanics for several of the bosses. I found the boss battles difficult but not that difficult. Usually I’d be able to overcome the boss in under a dozen tries and I don’t remember having to run very far to retry any bosses. The lore felt lukewarm to me… but so does every other souls like. It left me excited for the DLC. It helped that I got it for essentially free when I picked up the Xbox game pc pass.

  • Washington State Ban on the Unhoused
  • Gonna risk going a bit against the grain here…

    I have a lot of empathy for their situation.

    I don’t know what the solution is but it isn’t the status quo. A lot of the west coast cities are having a disproportionate problem with homeless. It’s not clear if people are bussing their homeless or the housing prices or what.

    The amount of trash generated by these homeless camps is nuts and ruins virtually every public space. In Portland, it is common to find hypodermic needles littered in the parks. You’ll walk past people on the sidewalk passed out with a needle in their arm or actively doing drugs. Human excrement on the sidewalk. I wish I had some solution but the current situation sucks for everyone.

  • Hades II - Early Access Showcase [4K]
  • So far I’m enjoying it! It has a soft progression limiter where you get cursed in such a way that monsters get increasingly more damaging every encounter… this goes away after you run into this person a few times.

    My only concern is that I’ll feel the need to replay it once all of the content is there… which I guess isn’t too bad!

  • Is there any demand left for 'game systems developers'? As in, people knowledgeable on Win32 or POSIX API, PE/ELF, Compilers and Interpreters, etc, when it concerns games exclusively? (+UNIX engine?)
  • Keep your head up!

    I’ve worked with many Iranians here in the US and all of them are excellent engineers. At least one of them managed to get over here without a college degree and work his way up to a comfortable software job.

    Not having a degree is going to be rough as far as immigration goes… but you’re capable of figuring out complex systems so you’re capable of figuring this out. Easier said than done… but if you keep pushing you’ll get somewhere. If you accept defeat early, you’ll get nowhere.

  • Looking for recommendations!

    I’m a fan of slice of life type movies that showcase a point of time in someone’s life, a relationship, or culture.

    Big fan of movies like About Elly, Twelve Angry Men, Ikiru.

    I have the Criterion and Arrow video streaming services and like to pick random movies on there from time to time.

    Any recommendations would be highly appreciated!

    Ready, Set, Bet - Success!

    I have a monthly board game meetup with my neighbors, who are mostly in their 60s and 70s. I’m a bit younger than them but it’s usually a good time. Complexity of rules, eye sight, and maneuverability are all big concerns when I host.

    I decided to give Ready Set Bet a go… and it was a hit! I shared my phone screen to a good sized tv in the room and let the app run the race. I sat the less nimble folks closer to the center of the table, with younger folks nearer to the edge. Additionally, I read off the extra bet cards every round and did all the math for everyone when they won. I was worried the VIP cards would be too much, but everyone seemed to enjoy them. Lots of shouting and racing to bet.

    So, if you have a party of 9 or fewer consider giving it a shot.

    If you have any suggestions for party games that might fit this crowd, I’d love to hear them.
