That's actually what I tend to do, but would be nice (for laziness) to have two different settings. Or for cases where games don't allow adjustment after starting.
Funny you bring up Kena, because that is actually probably a prime example for me too. Loved the rest of the game, but the boss fights were a bit too difficult imo!
That sounds amazing, it is good to hear there are still some groups that have kept in contact, even after all that time!
Just makes me wonder if the same thing happens in other communities. Say someone posts a photo of a National Park, are there replies how they've hiked most of the trails at that park and decided it's not worth visiting?
I can see both sides too, "well we are informing people about the cons of that park, so they aren't eaten by the vicious bears!". I get that, I do! People have an opinion they want to share, nothing really wrong with that. Does that understanding make it enjoyable for me as the person just sharing the photo? Not so much...😂
I'm really a sucker for physical maze type stuff like this... Maybe just me, but feel like there's an untapped market for well designed top-down physical puzzles / mazes .
The closest thing I've seen is something like the perplexus, but not a huge fan of that form factor.
Something more like a natural progression of the old tilt marble Labyrinth. Does anyone know of something like this?
Started reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler. I really like the style of writing, so much detail into the main character's mind.
It is also impressive just how relevant the topics are today, for a book written back in 1993 (climate change, wealth disparity, etc.). It's really fascinating (scary?) to see what the author thought the U.S. would look like in 2024 and onwards.
There are some archives of the service here -

Supposedly most of the videos, and 20% of the screenshots? I'm not sure if there's a way to easily search the archive contents, rather than download.
There's quite a few profiles on Web Archive too -

It was definitely ahead of its time! Not really sure why it faded away, I guess pressure from Steam (pun intended), and games moving to private in-game server browsers? Along with many other options for voice chat.
Checkout Wool by Hugh Howey. The Silo TV series is based on it, great story!
Instead of weighting posts, could also just do alternating posts from each list. With deduplication as well.
I'd also like this, I think highlighting the 'points' with the vote color is good enough for me.
It's a fantastic game! Since it requires co-op to play, one neat thing the dev did was require only one person to own a copy (you friend can play free).
They did you with their previous game, A Way Out, as well. That one was also great!
Right? When I was a kid I would specifically enjoy the "challenge" of trying to beat something over and over. Nowadays though... I just like playing a game for the experience. I still like feeling "progression", so things go from difficult to easy as my character advances. But having to repeat something multiple times? Eh... just not my jam anymore.
