Try out Aero GPX! It's an indie game w/ a demo on the steam store and it absolutely nails the physics from GX

Eh I played through the game with the rides disabled and didn't find any impact on my experience. It did feel like the only way the combat was fun was on critical mode, despite still being floatier than I'd like.

Dlc content slaps tho

Everyone needs to be warned about the danger of Beefbrain

Ha I sent a letter to my representative about this a while ago and got back a reply that amounted to "thanks but we don't care"

Yep! It's real bad, I had to wait in a line around a building on a Tuesday morning the first election I voted in. One of the big things too is that there are fewer polling centers in the city, and usually more in the suburbs (proportional to the amount of people there).

So while you have a quarter of the eligible voting population in a city go to a single voting center, in the suburbs you have a much smaller group with a less crowded (& usually more convenient) polling area.

One odd holdover from TABOR (giant tax structure from the 90s that is still around in one way or another) is that any issue affecting taxes MUST BE PRINTED IN ALL CAPS FOR THE ENTIRE TEXT. It's so funny to see

Since I moved from a red state to Colorado it's been mind blowing how painless and accessible it is to vote in this state.

Before every election all registered voters automatically get a mail-in ballot, as well as a detailed book explaining every issue & candidate on the ballot with sample arguments for & against. You can then either mail the ballot or drop it off in very convenient drop boxes that are usually less than 10 min from your place. In some ways it's difficult to not have at least some idea of the political landscape for most voters.

Remember Our Promise

I love this thread! I've been definitely shying away from AAA games towards Indies with lots of love. Here's my contribution:

Venineth: One of the best entries in the niche "marble rolling" genre. You explore beautiful alien worlds, solving puzzles, and going very fast. Each world is incredibly unique, and has its own set of challenges to conquer. There is no dialogue and all text is in an alien language, which does an amazing job of immersing you into it's landscapes https://store.steampowered.com/app/976500/Venineth/

Hypnospace Outlaw (Just above 3,000 reviews): Late 90s Internet simulator with a lot more to it than meets the eye. The game weaves a complex tale of people's lives brought together by their community found on the Internet, and the havoc wreaked by a company in pursuit of profit above their users. The soundtrack is amazing, and I was genuinely surprised at how attached I got to the quirky Internet pages by the end. https://store.steampowered.com/app/844590/Hypnospace_Outlaw/

Going Under: A rogue-lite adventure about unpaid intern Jackie treading through her startup's basement to fight the monsters of former companies. The game's tone and humor is amazing, and the "corporate marketing" art style works so well. The gameplay incorporates a lot of Breath of the Wild elements such as weapon durability, locking onto a single enemy, and throwing weapons. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1154810/Going_Under/

Ah that's a shame about Mother 3, I really loved it. Seeing the gradual decay of a town affected by tragedy after tragedy (& a heaping dose of capitalism) become a shadow of itself was so beautiful. The pacing of the game is a bit odd at times, but overall I was surprised how much it resonated with me.

I played CoD 4 on the DS back in the day as well! Agreed the double tap iron sights were terrible, but I was surprised at how much they preserved the setpieces of the game.

Have you played Metroid Prime Hunters? Thats probably my favorite shooter from the DS area. The single player campaign can be backtrack-heavy with no real plot, but the shooting is fun and the multilayer mode with bots is a really good time!

Try the Submersed mod, it adds full motion controls!
