There’s a few around where I live
I don’t like them though
I can get stuff I want from a normal sized one without having to zig-zag two football fields between aisles to find some damn peanut butter or whatever
There’s like a… reverse bell curve that correlates the size of a supermarket with how messy it is
On the left side there’s Biedronka
Which is the smallest and it’s so messy it’s sometimes hard to squeeze through crates and palettes full of stuff
Then there’s the medium sized 
They’re nice
And then the big chunksters get messy again

of course we wiped on the last level of act one
and you know what that means
yup - it's back to the beginning...
of the entire game
cause you can make only one mistake
this game is a morgue of good game design
good game design doesn't come here to die
it's dead already, it's getting cold and it's waiting to be dissected and examined just...
just...
just wtf happened here?
everyone's enjoying helldivers and i'm over here getting grabbed through walls and getting turned into a desk lamp
which yeah - is a thing that happened to me
at one point a special infected grabbed me through a wall
the game started freaking tf out and my - still alive - character started thrashing around making source engine ragdoll noises
but then i died
and it's not like my dead corpse somehow clipped into a model of a desk lamp that was nearby
oh no

oh yeah btw
i'm going through the footage now
and it looks like this whole desk lamp kerfuffle was too much for the game to handle because it killed me even though i was still at 70 hp
and you wanna know what's even better?
when i died and told my friend what happened he came over and shot that lamp...
which then not only started to BLEED
but it also gave him a green hit marker - indicating he just shot a teammate...
what a truly fascinating piece of software

after complaining a lot about Forbidden West when I started, I have to say after spending the first 10 hours or so unlearning habits from Zero Dawn, after 80 more hours I have to say it's just better and more Zero Dawn, which I didn't think possible
Zero Dawn was already like top 5 my favorite games and Forbidden West took its place I think, I don't think I could come back to ZD after this

Also - what an absolute wet fart of an ending this campaign had, dear lord
It’s just an arena with a handful of stock zombies and some random specials sprinkled in and a boss that has Monday morning energy and a healthbar the size of Wisconsin
And you’re supposed to load this howitzer and fire it 6 times at a blockade and when you do that it abruptly cuts to a cutscene that shows your crew driving away in a humvee and it’s like

No final stand?
Theres no tension there, no music, no drama

I had that one ending where someone dies at the very end and the conclusion made no sense from a storytelling perspective so I thought that it's one of those games that try to push you to get the 'best' ending so I redid that, saved someone (or well, everyone) and the ending was almost exactly the same

Spoilers for man of medan ig: ||I sent Conrad out to the coast guard so he was gone almost the entire game, and at the very end your character is attacked by some monster and you have the 'option' to fight back and when you kill it, it's revealed to have been one of your friends and it's all been a delusion and then you get a few additional shots of your character being sad. The rest of the group gather and drive home, but they worry about Conrad (even though they have a radio, he's with the coast guard and they could just... ask?)||
And the very end cutscene, Conrad comes back to the ship, goes in alone (???????????????) and you get a marvel-esque useless post-credits scene with a terrible jumpscare

ngl I friggin love Fallout 1
I had to kill a deathclaw and just couldnt but I found a random alien encounter and got a blaster and it pulverized the death claw
and also killed a loan shark and 2 of his bodyguards in the hub and nobody batted an eye and got a lot of loot and caps and could afford to pay water caravans for my vault to extend the time

Battle chef brigade was fun lol I was just a little neurotic about it

playing on easy is also worth it for the story. Normal wasnt that difficult imo, it's okay to lose 1-2 units in a fight, it doesnt have battle perma-death like FE

yeah units don't usually die from combat
the main source of "difficulty" comes from the choices in managing the caravan, but even if you completely fumble everything the story continues

Let me be clear: This isn’t a game for casual puzzle players. Simogo fully admits that it doesn’t expect a lot of players to finish it. It’s a high-level challenge that requires patience, intense critical thinking, and some serious note-taking (all documents are stored in a menu, but a notebook is truly required). It’s cut from the same cloth as genre greats like The Witness or Return of the Obra Dinn. Solutions that seem impossible will make sense eventually so long as you trust Simogo’s sharp design and your own ability to obsessively track patterns like Jim Carrey’s character in The Number 23.

Hi, guys!
The UK petition for game preservation was approved by the parliament and is live now!
Please sign it and get everyone you know (UK peeps) to sign it too if you can.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/659071
This is part of the https://www.stopkillinggames.com/ initiative to get international governing bodies to change the laws surrounding how video game companies retain customer purchases once support ends (you may have heard about the recent library wipes by Playstation, Warner Bros, Funimation and Ubisoft with Assassin's Creed 2 DLC servers and The Crew - just to name a few)
For non-UK residents - please go to the above website and see steps you can take for your country!
This is an international effort towards video game preservation and your time and efforts are hugely appreciated! Thank you 😊

kinda reminds me of that one repack of split/second i got
so 👏
split second is a racing game that's klinda like...
burnout 4 directed by michael bay
where everything explodes
and it's portrayed like it's this sort of tv show
so instead of a campaign you have a tv "season"
split into 12 espiodes
and every episode starts with a trailer, then there's like 5 different races
and then you get an ending cutscene with a voiceover that goes like "in the next episode"
anyways
one time, ages ago i got a copy that was compressed to hell and back
and at the end of every episode i got a trailer with a dude going like "tune in next tine for this kind of exciting action!"
and the video was like...
4 by 4 blurry pixels
with sounds of explosions and cars going vrooom in the background
and i showed it to my uncle (who at the time liked racing games)
and he was like "BOI i sure as crap can't wait to see that!"
RIP split second 2, btw 
RIP arcade racing games, while we're at it

seriously though
there isn't a single game genre out there that's as stale and stagnant as racing games

the golden age of racing games was at the time when you couldn't just come up to a car, open it and drive somewhere
then gta 3 happened and the world was like omg
fathom juniper
nah
i think the golden age of racing games was around the time when it wasn't expected from them to have licenced cars
so they could get creative with their designs and gameplay and destruction
but now that every racing IP under the sun ||that is - all 3 of them - forza, gran turismo and NFS|| has to have licensed cars
mr. ford just doesn't want to show their cars get beat up and what not

that was fun

few years ago someone made a new rollcage game just under a different name

locked 60 fps, even on the base ps4

two zones take around 4-5% battery on energy saving
so a full battery should give me around 50 zones, give or take

so that's 10 full runs on a single battery charge
a single run takes about an hour...
...so a single charge should last me an entire train ride
