Frostpunk hits 5 million copies sold in six years, boasting average playtime of 24 hours
  • I mean, for one, that’s the only metric you chose to measure games by, so I’m not sure what else you would expect. Should we reply as if you used an entirely unmentioned metric?

    Second, I specifically mentioned “many”, not you in particular. That’s not strawmaning, that’s talking about a general trend.

  • $1200 Graphics Card Opens Two Extra Google Chrome Tabs
  • I dunno. If someone's building a PC, they are most probably using it for more than just chrome-level stuff. And for me at least, if I'm going to spend the time and money on new components, I'm going to get the biggest and best that I can afford/justify. The higher end comments are going to fair much better as tech develops further along, and I consider them an investment into not going through the same process again in just a few years time.

  • Taking in the best moments while you can
  • You're getting downvoted unfairly here. Yes, it's the "right" choice to maximize the time with your kids when you can as those moments will go by faster than we think they will, but it's also not the wrong choice to make sure you take care of yourself. Every parent is going to make their own decisions, and nobody's "doing it wrong" as long as the child is reasonably happy and healthy (to the extent uncontrollable forces allow). We're all just getting along here.

  • Could we use this sorting algorithm on Lemmy?
  • Not really interested in anything that even remotely mirrors "engagement" driven algorithms seen on other sites. It's predictably resulted in siloing of information and the explosion of "rage-bait" content that's pretty much taken over. Lemmy being different than that is a boon, not a deficit.

  • How do I stop hating children?
  • Could be worth looking into Misophonia. Basically it's an irrational anger response to specific noises that vary person to person. I don't know enough about it to say how it can be dealt with, but it may be something you could find a specialist for.

  • Dark Souls? A Rogue-Like? What?

    This is from the Categories portion of the Steam home page. Flabergasted me and I had to snip it.

    Do I just completely misunderstand what a Rogue-Like is?

    With Steam's Next Fest over halfway done, what demos have you played and enjoyed most?

    I've only gotten through a few, myself. House Flipper 2 seemed like an interesting iteration on the original (from what I played of that). Not necessarily for me, but I think it'll please those that are looking for that. I played quite a bit more Kingdom Eighties than I expected I would. Having just played the first Kingdom for the first time not too long ago, Eighties had a lot of changes that I was pleased with, and the theme is great. I will say that making an army of young children is...a bit iffy, hah. Though playing the "big kids" trying to protect their town is pretty nice.

    Still have a The Invincible and Lies of P to check out this weekend, and whatever else seems interesting. Any recommendations for other demos that shouldn't be missed?

    Reminder for Set Releases - Don't forget your quests and wins reset with the update on Tuesday!

    Make sure to finish your quests* as you will get a 3 brand new ones after the update. Your weekly wins will also reset, so if you need or want the XP for your Mastery Pass, finish them up before then as it won't carry over.

    *Worth noting that there is occasionally a glitch where the quests will get "stuck" right before the update, but still award gold. So they can be "completed" over and over again for extra gold. It's happened at least twice so far, afaik (most recently with MOM). Up to you if that's worth saving a quest or two and playing right before the update just in case.
