Have you all received any updates about beef strogonoff lately?

Why? Did something big happen?

  • Be in MS Teams meetings all day and talk with your hands
  • Delegate software and system changes with confidence based on the sales pitches of vendors who over-promise and under-deliver
  • Be a punching bag for executives when the solutions that were meant to save money for the business end up costing more time and money than before

I've heard about that and through multiplayer have been able to experience it. Honestly I prefer the base game without either DLC. Even the Void DLC is too chaotic for my taste.

That sounds awesome. I look forward to seeing updates!

So, what kind of game are you thinking of making this?

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 5 points 8 months ago

The cost of doing laundry is insane. I started doing mine by hand at home.

TUNIC.

My goodness this game feels like it was made for me. I feel the magic of Zelda (LttP, maybe Link's Awakening) and Dark Souls, and I would say the game wears those influences on its sleeve.

The game drops you into the world with no explanation. Signs are in a foreign language. You can collect pieces of the instruction manual which includes map pieces. The manual is littered with the occasional word in English, just enough to guess at what you can / need to do. There's basically no hand-holding at all. Combat is similar in that it can be difficult if you find yourself in an area you aren't ready for yet (like I did).

There are lots of hidden pathways, ladders and chests to find. They do a good job of showing you treasure chests and shortcuts that are just out of reach, and you have to really observe and think about how to navigate to get there. To me the world design has big Dark Souls 1 energy in that way - already I've had that same "omg it's Firelink Shrine?!" experience as I explore and open up paths.

The 100 hour mark is a tough one to hit - even some of the best games I've played aren't that long or replayable, and the ones that are usually cost more than $10. Still, here are some to check out if you want. I'll list the price on Steam in Canadian dollars and my current total play time.

  • The Messenger - on sale for $5.19 - 35 hours
  • Infinitode 2 - Free to play - 47 hours
  • Ori and the Blind Forest - on sale for $6.24 - 23 hours
  • Risk of Rain 2 - on sale for $9.56 - 81 hours (new to my library, less than 1 month)
  • Undertale - on sale for $2.74 - 28 hours

What about other stores?

They're $75+ elsewhere. And I refuse to buy from sketchy "marketplace" sellers on sites like Best Buy where I see reviews saying they're used but advertised as new, missing components, etc.

Yeah, I shouldn't have been surprised. This is normal psychopathic behaviour for a corporation.

I tried and I got, "Wayback Machine has not archived that URL."

You didn’t happen to take screenshots did you? It’s something that should be reported to the media as well

I wish I had thought of it. I tried the Honey extension which sometimes shows historical prices, but no luck this time. I couldn't find any other way to double check the previous prices either.
