Man, Paradox really just burned every ounce of goodwill they had in mere months, huh? Skylines 2 being a disaster, and now cancelling this. Just unreal.
The game is a little too fast paced to be played on controller (for me, at least), but I'm glad they made the effort anyway. For folks who break out the mouse and keyboard with their Deck, it'll be a welcome help.
Compatibility with Gollum? HELL YEAH LET'S GO SMEAGOL BOIS
I swear this company used to have its shit together.
I bought Forza Horizon 5 on sale, and then immediately fell into buying Sea of Stars. So splitting time between the two.
Edit: Oh! And Bomb Rush Cyberfunk! Forgot about that.
They actually remastered it for free in 2022. Like, if it's in your Steam Library, you can redownload it.
I'll give OWL this: they took big swings. Some of them were big hits: I think that first season was really something special. Holding every event live at the Blizzard Arena allowed an organic culture to grow around the league. They had a cast of broadcasters that knew the game, and a broadcast package that looked modern, yet was easy to follow. I'm still split on the regional team names, since the format was always going to be more or less a "travelling roadshow", but there were people who definitely bought in because "well it's Philadelphia".
And yeah, some of this can be laid at the feet of the pandemic, but there were also a lot of mistakes made as well: putting roster roles in place on the pro level makes some sense, but forcing it into the game proper via Role Queue killed off a lot of the casual player base, which meant killing off your pool of viewers. The move to YouTube Live may have meant guaranteed revenue, but the viewership numbers never came close to what they were on Twitch. And, yeah, the absolute fumbling of Overwatch 2 hasn't helped either.
Glad to hear Minuum is still up and running. I couldn't get super comfortable with it, but I love the concept... and I still remember that first, awful announcement video with the poorly mixed vocals that made it sound like the founder's name was Will Wompwomp.
Ohh, that one was a masterpiece. It even included the original script, so you could read some of the stuff that got cut/rewritten.
Promedica says the concert is being called due to "circumstances beyond their control", and full refunds are being offered.
Oh, it's more than PR. They get to donate your money and get the tax break for doing it.
Hello!
Seeing as /r/toledo was one of my more visited subs on the old place, and I didn't see one yet across Lemmy, I figured one might as well get made. I don't expect much activity here, but you're all welcome to it. Normal, regional community type posts will be the usual: news, events, "best Mexican restaurant" (it's Cocina de Carlos), etc.
For the record, I really don't have interest in modding... well, at all, really, but definitely not alone. So, if you have an interest, and plan to be active, hit me up. And if any of the mods from /r/toledo want a piece of this, they're more than welcome to it.
Enjoyed this one on the Switch, definitely a fun time. Some of the music is earwormy in all the good ways.
"Gonna hide it where he least suspects it..."
115 hours, just notched the win yesterday (Happy Independence Day, Hyrule). Did all the main quest, cleared all the lightroots, but not all shrines yet. I have a lot more couch time coming up this week with a medical procedure tomorrow, so I'm planning on spending a lot of time cleaning up shrines, finishing side quests, etc. YOUR HAT WILL BE MINE, CECE.
Hello, Matt from Northeast Ohio, I am Matt from Northwest Ohio.
Think we can get the other two corners of the state?
I originally was going to get just the "Progress, not Perfection" done (a hard lesson that I'm still learning), and I had it in the back of my head that my second tattoo would be something to go along side it, and I'd wait for the third one before getting something gaming-related. And I pretty much knew it would be Hollow Knight when it happened.
Then, while thinking about it before the appointment, it occurred to me that The Knight would work perfectly next to the lettering. Metroidvanias, by design, necessitate doing the work to find the progression items to move on. You're not expected to do everything right away. (And, story wise, the pursuit of perfection has it's own consequences.) It worked too well, and I'm glad the artist was able to modify what we originally discussed.
