Same. The game is impressive and I respect it, but it's better when someone else is playing it and not me.

Yes, it's the best. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want.

Ditch or change plans if you don't feel like it.

Fart freely.

Go to the lobster soup place twice in one day. And again the next day.

Wander off into the fog.

Stop on the side of the road to meet the horses.

Travelling with others is fine, but you should definitely experience solo travel too.

Gym bros would do well to put on a little makeup and smile more

Demon Tides. The sequel to Demon Turf. It's an open world 3D platformer with a pretty deep move set. Definitely has some Wind waker influence too.

Also been dabbling in Hades. It's good and fun, but I'm not quite as blown away as I expected to be based on all the hype.

GeoGuessr. I'm both better and worse than I expected to be at this.

I played Demon Turf recently and enjoyed it a lot. Never got around to trying the Demon Tides demo, but still intend to buy the full game. I find it interesting that the reviewer says the game was "held back", yet still gave it a rating of 8.

I completely agree. As a fellow souls-liker, it's way more punishing than those games. It teaches you lessons, but there are a lot of them to remember, and even then, shit happens that you can't always prepare for. It might be nice to have a checkpoint system at the last Holy Mountain you visited, but then again that might take away from the replayability. The difficulty is kind of part of its charm!

Noita. There is still so much to learn.

Close your eyes and think about the caboose

 

I love 3D Platformers, but Steam does not seem to have many good recommendations for that tag (lots of non-3D platformers in the mix for some reason). Maybe there just aren't that many out there. What can you recommend?

Here are some that I have already played and want more similar to these:

-Cavern of Dreams

-Castle on the Coast

-A Hat in Time

-Demon Turf

-Frogun

-Sapo 3D

-New Super Lucky's Tale

-Yooka Laylee

-Toree series

-Pseudoregalia

 

Steam is having a Racing Fest sale until August 4th and I thought I might like to try. I used to play a lot of Gran Turismo 2 and 3 back in the day, especially the rally modes.

Any recommendations for me? Prefer anything under $10, no EA games, no Ubisoft games, and realistic although it's not as important.

I'm also interested in Garfield Kart - Furious Racing if anyone has an opinion on that.

 

Homemade crust, pepperoni, red peppers.

The crust was just flour, water and a little salt. About 1.5cm thick. Once the dough ball was consistent I coated it with more flour to prevent sticking and then pressed it down into shape.

Pepperoni was sliced off a tube. It looks kind of greasy, but it wasn't too much, and I really like that it curled up a bit. I put the oven on high broil near the end to get it to crisp up a bit.

 

Context: I noticed I have some clothes from 10 years ago that are still good to wear, and some newer things I have barely worn yet. I wondered if I reached a point where all the clothes I own would be enough to last for the rest of my life. There is a dresser and a closet worth of things.

For the sake of this question, let's say you can't buy, borrow, steal, receive as a gift, find, or make anything new to wear. All you get is what you have now. Is it enough?

 

Canada has implemented a new tax savings from December to February for some things like taxable groceries, crafts, and gaming physical media. I wanted to get a new Xbox controller and found the best price at Walmart for $55 a week ago. The tax holiday starts today and I now see that the $55 has increased to $62 and change, which is about how much tax I should be saving. Great to see this thinly veiled attempt to help Canadians ( /s - win votes) is just going to be extra profit in the corporations' pockets.

 

Currently I have a 1060GTX 6GB (Evga I think?). It struggled to run Elden Ring but was tolerable for me on medium settings - still it frequently drops from 60fps to 40fps or so, rarely able to stay at an even 60.

Can you suggest a modest upgrade compatible with my build? I'm not obsessed with getting max settings, but something that will work decently for 5 years or so would be nice. I don't have an exact budget in mind, but the absolute maximum I would consider is $400 Canadian (approx $300 USD). Prefer to save some money for performance and keep it around $200-$300 CDN, if possible

Here's my parts list started in 2016 - GPU listed is not the current 1060

It started about a week ago. I noticed a sticky feeling on my hands so I washed them (as I do regularly). Unfortunately it wasn't long before the feeling came back. I've started noticing it on everything I frequently touch - mouse/keyboard, Xbox controller, phone, on and on. I tried household cleaner, rubbing alcohol, water/soap on these surfaces and it seems to help for a short while, but it comes back within hours. Just now I gave my phone a good wipe with soapy water and as soon as it dried it feels sticky again.

I'm not sure what else to try or how to get rid of it.

Possible culprits I can guess at: -pollen? the cars around here have been covered in greenish yellow powder which I have seen before, but never experienced this stickyness. I don't use my car / touch the door handles very often.

-some sort of plastic or rubber is degrading, maybe my phone case? It's an Otterbox that's over 6 years old.

-a little weed container I bought around the same time this started, maybe the store had vape juice spilled on it? But I don't touch it often enough to warrant the spread of this profound stickyness.

Any ideas are welcome. It's driving me nuts.

 

I sure don't feel safe just ignoring it, considering the frequency.

My Linux Mint Cinnamon won't boot up. It's getting stuck on this screen and I don't know what to do to proceed. Before this screen appears it shows the LM logo for a moment.

I'm a total noob and just been using this for a month or two. Did not make any recent changes that I can recall.

 

I always wanted to try this game when I was a kid. When checking out reviews on Steam I noticed someone mention that Sega was giving it away for free for their 60th anniversary (a few years ago), and that website is still up and running. Long story short, I tried it and it works. Replacing the localhost part of the URL was necessary as the screenshot mentions.
