Split Fiction is one of the best local co-op games ever created. Simply incredible.

This company is quickly trying to monetize every little thing now. It's still good software but they are really trying to screw over the users. They split the design and development seats and added other blockers so people have to pay multiple times. If you have a pro figma account you can't use it to work with another companies instance. That company has to have a seat for you and they might have to buy two seats for dev and design. It's a race to see how much they can squeeze. I've heard a lot of users are looking for a way out because it seems like it will only get worse.

I remember reading a proposal how music artists could somehow use nfts as digital record keeping so when digital tickets are resold they could get a percentage of the sale each time it was resold. Making more money for artists and disinsentivising resale but you know ticket places would never let it happen. I'm sure you could do it without nfts but it seemed like a really great idea.

This is great. Pastels? Or paint?

Oh right Heavy Rain and all the David Cage games if you want interactive movie style games

Yes. A lot of games but many of them aren't action/adventure. A plague tale is very close to the last of us in tone and storytelling , Disco Eylsum (Lots of reading but it is incredibly well written), spec ops: the line ( I would recommend not reading too much the story has some very good things that could be spoiled), Hellblade senua's sacrifice (headphones recommend), Witcher 3 (If you want open world fantasy).

Honest communication. Even if you don't want to.

Yah true. If episode one is awful I won't continue. Maybe I weight them like episode 1 70% , 2 20%, but by episode 3 10%. So by episode 3 I 100% know if if I'm going to like a serialized TV show.

Interesting read. I think episode 3 is the magic number. The first episode is actually a pilot they worked on and maybe rewrote or recut to get the actors and tone, etc. Sometimes the pilot is very different from the rest of the series. Episode 2 should be the actual tone and feel of the series but sometimes that can be difficult to get right so episode 3 is a make or break for me. By that time I should understand if I like the characters, understand motivations and something should have happened to peak my interest to keep watching. "Story of the week" or "non-serialized" shows I think are fine to check out another season episode if people are talking about it.

Yep. We all learned years ago. Anything that needs an always on network to play an offline game is bs because sooner or later that network is not available.

Psychonauts was always one of those games I was meaning to play ever since it came out. I've played most of the double fine titles but I started it and it didn't instantly click so I put it down and never got back to it. The second one came out and I thought alright time to go for it. Wow! What a debut from double fine! Clever and fun mechanics, well defined characters, engaging story and actually laugh out loud moments! If you have kids the game dialogue is snappy like a Pixar movie. I made it to the tower and just can't wait to see what happens next. There are a few small things like camera angles or controls that can be a little frustrating after all it's almost a 20 year old game but if do yourself a favor and grab it for $2 on steam or Xbox store right now if you think you might like it. I've already got #2 in the queue.
