Finished it today. One of the hardest games to rate ever, for me. There were some undeniable highs in there but large parts of the game were just not enjoyable to play through. The final act in particular felt like pulling teeth.

I think I'm happy to be able to say I have played it, but I honestly don't know that I think it was a good use of 20ish hours. Large parts of it honestly felt like just designed to waste your time.

That makes more sense. His phrasing did not convey that to me but it is probably a me-problem.

Every single person that I've ever told about Lemmy has not only refused to join, but outright chided me for having recommended it to them. Every. Single. One.

I have a hard time believing that since it implies every single person you proposed Lemmy to was already aware of it. The reaction I personally tend to get is "...what? Huh. Never heard of it".

It definitely will happen. I've already noticed I'm sometimes getting weird "your IP is blocked" warnings when using old.reddit. They go away after a refresh but it wouldn't surprise me if they're trying to get people to stop using it.

So as someone who has obsessive-compulsive tendencies but definitely not OCD I would define it as such: OCD is when your general functioning is noticeably and demonstrably impaired by your obsessive-compulsive behaviour.

I can get stuck in loops sometimes and I can get hung up on things, but I've seen people with actual OCD around when I've been at my psychiatrist's clinic and it's different.

We had some nice steady growth up until some months back, probably partially driven by dissatisfaction with Reddit rallying behind Trump and further enshittification of it. But predictably the lions share of users just accepted the new normal as the inertia of leaving is just too high to overcome. For another exodus event there needs to be a bigger shock to the system, probably something like turning off old.reddit.

I hope you do, it's been great fun so far!

I wish it was on Steam or GOG. I guess I'll keep an eye on the Playstation store, I do still have my old PS4.

I'd like to imagine I'm responsible for the first!

You were indeed! You're convincing me, I'll pencil this in as a palate cleanser at some point this year!

I think the data collection controversy was addressed in patch 1.2.7?

It's been a great game so far so I hope you'll pick it up, but I totally get overspending on Steam/GOG sales and causing an already bloated backlog to further overflow.

Pretty much same here, though I do like a bit more medium roasts.

You're right, Fallout Shelter for mobile and I guess I forgot about 76. I was thinking "mainline" Fallouts.

New Vegas is an amazing game with an even more amazing modding scene. Absolutely recommend you getting to it down the line, it's a bit closer to the OG Fallouts than the Bethesda ones. Superb DLCs as well, all of them really good.
