Do you find you switch back and forth between games quite often?

the screen hoopla shouldn’t have happened in the first place if they just ignore the 4:3 purists :P

What was the issue there?

Mind doing a side shot? I’d be curious to see how thick they are compared to each other.

Also do the sticks and buttons touch the screen? I thought I heard that was an issue with some clamshell handhelds. Whoever the reviewer was I believe speculated it may ware down the screen protector.

Mount Your Friends is an Xbox 360 era go-to for me. Very easy to get into and gets people competitive (in a good way). The only downside is it’s probably not the most appropriate game to play with kids for your situation

Are the later seasons of Westworld worth watching? I stopped watching just as samurais entered the picture.

Also did you know there was a sequel called Futureworld and a TV show called Beyond Westworld?

The TV show is pretty trash. Not in a fun way. Wouldn’t recommend.

Is anyone surprised by this? I feel like similar things have happened in the past with back breeding

I’ve done this a few times in different Civilizations games to see how the computer would react to things like an abundance of gold or over powered for the current turn units.

A lot of the time it was underwhelming with them not really utilizing what was given to them or switching up their strategy. With gold they wouldn’t buy units or tiles and would still demand gold during trades or for peace for example.

On Bedrock you can just edit a text file to increase the loaded distance. I feel like there’s probably something similar for Java

I was thinking earlier today what Legate Lanius would have thought seeing the Courier use every single chem in his inventory before talking to him.

It feels a bit like Ali Express pricing with games being listed as $100 but being discounted year round for 50% off to give consumers the illusion of getting a deal.

It also seems like a lot of titles don’t go down in price as they age as often as they used to.

I wonder if they would reuse the scraps similar to how Lego reuses defective bricks

Maybe it has to do with how the card is setup. For example if the phone believes it’s a portable device versus something for internal storage it might not provide the option in case someone encrypts the card not realizing they will need decryption software on other devices they want to use it on.

I believe they are sold in the same size box as any other soap so I don’t think transportation would really matter.

Yeah. “Dairy products” and ice cream is an example I feel like more people are aware of.

That was what I was getting at. From what I’ve read online Dove’s use of synthetic detergent and claims of moisturizing are reasons why it can’t be labelled as soap under the FDA

Thanks for the reply.

Why isn’t more soap oval? Economics. It’s far more expensive to mold mass-market soap in round shapes. It’s dramatically cheaper to make it square.

Would it really be that expensive?

From my understanding soap is usually pushed into some kind of oval plate to be trimmed before being pushed again into a press that shapes and stamps it simultaneously. If a company already needed a custom mold for a stamped label would the shape make much of a difference? Other than that I think the only alteration would be the plate the soap is pushed through. At a large scale the expenses related to not being able to use more common parts might add up I guess.

This does make me wonder how diverse large scale soap manufacturing equipment is. Maybe there is an industry-standard bar of soap and I’ve never noticed how similar different bars of soap are in shape to each other.

I feel like that has to be pretty hard with how corporate pretty much every “AAA” game publisher is. So many are subsidiaries of subsidiaries and the parent company wouldn’t hesitate to push them to the curb.

They might also be worried about getting into a Duke Nukem Forever situation where they end up endlessly in development. They would end up having to fix issues while also keeping up with gaming trends.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t go digging through the commits myself. I read in a few places that updates were exclusively about updating the FreeSO version rather than actual Simitone specific developments.

It does seem like it’s lost a significant amount of momentum since 2019 though and according to posts on Bluesky some individuals have stopped contributing after FreeSO ended.

It might not be dead but I’d say it’s pretty deep in limbo.

Didn’t CD Projekt Red have a couple other bad releases?

I’ve read Witcher 3 had some pretty nasty bugs on release for example but it did seem like Cyberpunk 2077 was order of magnitude worse.

I thought there was another game released by CD Projekt Red that had some major issues on release but I don’t have the time to dig for articles about it.

Older news but the project was pretty neat and I only found out a couple weeks ago after visiting the website.

That sounds like how sizeable chunk of YouTubers play
