Not aware of any of these, which is nice, but iddqd caught my eye since that's a Doom reference! Overall I always thought the Doom community was pretty positive (at least going by Doomworld forums, and various Doom streamers, as I remember them). I thought surely it must be some misunderstanding! Oh maybe they didn't reply quickly enough to take down some drive-by hate speech, but that was it.

Anyway, holy shit, do not go to that lemmy instance. It's rotten to the core. I'm going to go take a shower and play through Episode 1 to cleanse myself now.

So just to translate for non Americans: Social Security is a kind of guaranteed old age / retirement pension, by the looks of it.

cover reveal for solarpunk mystery novel ( slrpnk.net )

I’m dancing-on-photons happy to reveal the cover by Rita Fei for my upcoming solarpunk novel, Murder in the Tool Library. You can pre-order it on this site as well as on some more mainstream ones. The paperbook will be available on Barnes and Noble closer to the release date on Dec 8th.

That's a great way to put it, thanks. I do see @Mr_Blott's point, but as long as we we're in charge of what is and isn't acceptable in this community, then the slippery slope can only slip so far.

It's interesting you bring up the controls, because that is one of the things that instantly grabbed me about the game. Before I even knew what was going on, I knew I absolutely loved moving around in the world. I used to spin up the game just to zip about for a half hour.

But of course everyone is different. Not every game is for everyone. I really grew to love Outer Wilds more and more over the days.

Not this particular example, maybe, but the concept of a device remaining usable in failure runs counter to planned obsolescence.

The iPhone is just the cherry on top

I mean that looks legit. I've got no nostalgia at play here, having never seen that intro before.
