Rocket League. Games are quick, you can play one or many in a session. I don’t know if epic has ruined it yet, but last I played the good old core game was still there.

chance + stakes = gambling
chance + nothing = chance

Yeah lol learning poker hands is all it does, which is trivial. The hard part of gambling is learning odds and how to bet. There is a little bit of odds calculation in the game, but it’s incredibly unrealistic with all the modifiers, and they change on each run.

I enjoy it, started playing recently! All the fun for me is in trying to find good loadouts completely on my own. I don’t want to watch some YouTuber show me the absolute maxed out best loadout, because that’s the entertainment to me. Progress is slow, I still haven’t cleared the game lol, but when I do, I know it will be my own choices that got me there. No shame in researching how to win if that’s your thing, I just love diving into games like this blind.

Excuse me. This was one of the greatest RTS and 40k games of all time, and I will accept no other answers.

I didn’t even know this was a thing. It would not have been great, and may have been good, but Naughty Dog doesn’t really seem to be in the camp of settling for good

Watching the decline of the internet in real-time is fucking depressing. How long before the FTC lets google “verify the integrity” of every data center in the US, completely eliminating all hope? Doesn’t even sound that crazy anymore.

zero part of this is good will.

Somehow, Neopets returned

Feels like this will be a very common occurrence with people rushing to build and use new apps, and host new servers. There are plenty of positives to fediverse vs centralized, but it doesn’t come without negatives.

Did you know you can just play and enjoy games because you want to, and because you like them?

Been playing Halls of Torment, best $4 I’ve ever spent.

In terms of hype it’s the crypto gold rush all over again, with all the same bullshit.

At least the tech is objectively useful this time around, whereas crypto adds nothing of value to the world. When the dust settles we will have spicier autocomplete, which is useful (and hundreds of useless chatbots in places they don’t belong…)
