It’s a little janky, and the blocky aesthetic may or may not be your thing, but it handles the idea of detective work better than any other game I’ve ever played. It’s not just “Walk around in detective vision until you assemble enough clues for the character to tell you the solution.” You have to actually think about things, examine the evidence, assemble a theory of the crime. Which is doubly impressive given that every crime is procedurally generated.
Witcher 3 for sure.
Control.
Dark Souls 3.
Bloodborne.
Not exactly action, but Shadows of Doubt has moments of action, lots of exploration, and amazing detective mechanics.
Valheim
Subnautica
The Little Big Adventure remake.
Metro Exodus
I never said it did.
Understanding that Nazis are human beings, with human thoughts, feelings and emotions doesn’t change the fact that their ideology is utterly intolerable. That’s the price of fighting fascism. You don’t get to make it easy on yourself by pretending that they’re something less than human.
Fighting Nazis… Killing Nazis… Is sometimes the only reasonable choice. “The only thing a tolerant society cannot tolerate is intolerance.” But you have to understand that when you talk about killing Nazis, you are talking about killing people. Human beings with lives and feelings and families and dreams. You have to be ready to take the cost of that on yourself. It’s easier if they’re not. It’s easier if they’re just NPCs to be moved down for points. But reality doesn’t get to be like that. Antifascism isn’t just a thing you do for the aesthetics. It’s not a cool badge you wear, and a slogan to shout. It doesn’t get to be fun and easy.
And you’re solving this by getting angry at the person trying to help you?
Learning is a process that you engage in. It’s not a thing that’s done to you. You can’t learn anything if you’re not willing to be a productive part of that process.
I get that you’re frustrated. Learning is often frustrating. But you’re only going to magnify your frustration by turning it on other people.
It sounds to me like you need to read through the PyGObject tutorials. If you’ve already read those, maybe try telling us exactly where you got stuck.
It would probably help if you were more specific about what part of the example you’re struggling to recreate. Maybe try sharing the relevant section of your code? Talk about what this particular component is supposed to do? Context is really important to these kinds of questions.
That’s the term I was looking for. My cousin has one. He’s a real dingus (affectionate).
100% agreed on this. Don’t let dumbass millionaire Instagram influencers hoodwink you into thinking that only people who can afford to motorbike around the world with their dog in a sidecar are doing dog ownership the right way.
Dogs want very little from us. Shelter, food, enrichment and love. Give them those things and they will live a very happy life.
Criminal behaviour honestly
Is that a nude collie?
Not pictured, her alternate “tornado” mode.
It’s Justin Sun. He’ll mint an NFT of the poop, fractionalise it and sell it as a new stablecoin.
Fuck it. It can’t be any worse than all this maga bullshit.
We’ve had this little goober for exactly a week, and I would fucking die for her.
Yeah, I guess in that sense we’re saying the same thing.
I think calling this “low effort” maybe misses the point. Don’t think of this as an artwork in the classical painter sense, but rather as a performance. The effect comes from the process as much as from the result.
And yes, it’s easy to say that there was no skill or craft in the performance, but that too is part of the point. Sometimes it not that no one else could do this; it’s simply that no one else did.
In a sense you’re right that this is intentionally low effort. But I think that also dismisses the creativity, insight, and brazen audacity it took to actually pull this off.
I think someone else mentioned that the sale included “instructions” on replacing the banana. Which is obviously a joke, but the whole thing is obviously a joke. There’s a real “My grandfather’s axe / ship of Theseus” thing going on there.
It’s not just about resources, it’s about connections. A lot of people don’t even know where to start looking into something. Asking a question is sometimes the most effective way.
And sometimes it’s not even about questions. Sometimes it’s about living in a small town full of conservative Christians where, as far as you know, you are the only gay kid. And you don’t dare breath a word of that to anyone around you. But online you can be your authentic self, or at least a version of it. You can connect with other people like you, and you can commiserate about what you’re struggling with, and you can maybe not feel so fucking alone.
I’m not sure you really understand just how damaging that kind of isolation is. Not being able to express yourself honestly to anyone is unbelievably destructive to your mental health. It leaves scars that last a lifetime - and in many cases, it cuts that lifetime very, very short.
A social media ban, for a lot of kids, basically locks them into solitary confinement. They live around people who may never love and accept the person they really are. They need some place where they can feel some sliver of human connection. Where they can feel loved and understood. It is, genuinely, very often the difference between life and death.
The reason why the internet is such an effective tool for people in the situations I described is because it’s so incredibly accessible, and because it possible, to some degree, to do so privately.
You can create an LGBTQ club at school, but that doesn’t help the kid who isn’t allowed to go because their parents are hardcore Christians. And I say 'You can…" but the reality is that you actually can’t because this is smalltown Alberta and any attempt to do so would get you tarred and feathered.
The internet can reach at risk people in places that your “local alternatives” will take decades to be accepted in. Place still matters, and even in more progressive countries and states, there are still plenty of localities where local resources simply cannot exist in a way that will take the place of online resources.
You’re talking about abandoning those kids. The ones who need it the most. The ones who can’t talk to the people in their own lives about suicidal thoughts, depression, questions about their sexuality, or whether or not it was OK for the pastor to touch them there because they live the kind of fucked up backwater where you simply cannot have those conversations with the people around you.
The internet, not only the resources, but also the friendships and human connections it provides, can be a lifeline to young people in incredibly difficult circumstances.
There’s a lot of fucked up shit online, and it’s doing a lot of damage, but we have to find a way to address that that doesn’t involve throwing the baby out with the bathwater. These kinds of blanket bans are impractical, impossible to effectively police, and will cause far too much harm for the little good they can accomplish.
Dark Tide (Warhammer 40K). The combat just flows so well, and the relentless hordes of enemies lay on the kind of pressure that forces you to use every tool in your character’s arsenal to its maximum potential.
