I'm still not over how they ruined Rocksmith. The first two were amazing games, they improved my skills so much and I had so much fun playing them. And I kept waiting word for a Rocksmith 3, because the team behind it is amazing so I was really hopeful. But then one day without ever hearing of it being announced I stumbled upon Rocksmith+ and that's when I realized this is where the license had gone to die, in a shitty closed Ubisoft online subscription, a shadow of its former shell. I hope one day we get a better spiritual successor that isn't in the hands of such a trash company.

Yeah replaying all the RE now and it's crazy how this very early choice of two playable characters in the original series allowed the remasters to feel much more modern in their writing. Jill feels like the modern badass main woman a lot of game which they could write properly.

The absolute burning irony of Medium asking me to subscribe to read this article :|

That was my immediate thought, it's space exploration, it's meant to cost more than is reasonable or affordable, because monetary rationale has never been a factor in it. Even if it did pay out in the long run with inventions and discoveries in the past, it's never going to make budget sense because exploration and pushing our specie's boundaries shouldn't be. It's a miracle what space agencies are/were able to accomplish with super strict budgets in the past, but in the end there's only so much you can do by cutting corners and letting the private sector fill the gaps

The worst part is that often people telling you what milk should be or not don't even know how the milk they drink is made or where it comes from. The number of non vegan people who think cows "just make milk" all the time for free and that it's carefully harvested by a dude while rubbing her back when the reality is so drastically more horrifying.

They're not even on the same shelves, there was never any confusion possible, just like people don't think "fruits de mer" are fruits or "lait de corp" is milk. This is just a completely meaningless power move from the lobbies but to be clear it is not in response to people overwhelmingly being tricked into gasp eating healthy products. Now it's the other way around and it's confusing for vegetarian/vegan people because stuff like soy milk is now labeled "soy drink" and is shelved next to the ACTUAL soy drinks with sugar and stuff in it, and so on.

The fact that you can play it with all the infinite goodness from the Workshop is a really strong selling point because it's thus the only mobile version of Isaac that is actually up to date + modded compared to mobile/console versions.

I'd say ActivityPub has the advantage to be maintained by the W3C

Talking purely about Soulsvania not pure Souls game. I've played and loved Hollow Knight, Blashphemous and Salt and Sanctuary. What draws me to these games is the bestiary and the crazy monster designs, that's what I love most and what makes me progress through the difficulty.

At the moment I'm playing GRIME and I love how unique and dark the universe is, with a lot of body horror elements throughout. What are other cool soulsvanias with great horror elements (ie. not Ori etc)?

As a webdev I only consider alternatives that implement ActivityPub which is what drawn me to Lemmy. Other parties have come out with Reddit-like but a lot are still closed gardens under unknown people's control. I trust the W3C on this one.
