    Thank you Skƶvde
  • Quebec also has a disproportionate amount of successful games for similar circumstances. Video game salaries are pretty well subsidized (although it was originally only meant to encourage Ubisoft to open a studio then other companies joined or got created so they kept it). The current government is threatening that though. That's on top of socialized healthcare, low electricity cost, and the Canadian Media Fund but those all apply to the rest of Canada as well.

    Quick list on top of my head: Indies: Outlast, Dead by Daylight, The Messenger, Spiritfarer, Ultimate Chicken Horse, Fez... AAA: Deus Ex, R6 Siege, For Honor, some of the better Assassin's Creed and Farcry, Batman Arkham Origins

    Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform
  • Oh cool there's an Android app, that's gonna make it so much easier to recommend!

    Edit: I just read about how it's centralized and not encrypted, I'm not sure how this can become anything but Discord except open source and less popular. Matrix + Element seems to cover my use case for a project a bit better, I'll give that a try.

    Dissapointed in Xbox Elite Series 2 Controller
  • It's not widespread BECAUSE Microsoft refuses to include it in all their controllers. It's been a standard in Sony, Nintendo, and even some 3rd party controllers like 8bitdo.

    Mastodon Is the Good One
  • Filter by Hot, Active and Top Day are godsends for Lemmy. I understand the lack of blackbox algorithm but zero control over your timeline outside of Chronological and tags kills Mastodon for a lot of people.

    New Covid vaccines are on the way as 'Eris' variant rises
  • You can still get long-covid symptoms that lasts months (or forever) while boosted, so I really wish people still masked whether they are boosted or not.

    Best sub-20 hour games?
  • I'm usually way more into short arcadey yet narrative games like Hotline Miami, but based on your list I'd wholeheartedly recommend What Remains of Edith Finch. It's a bunch of very short story vignettes, so even if you only have 30 minutes you know you'll complete one.

    Night in the Woods might also interest you. I would always play one in-game day (which is about 1 hour each) to relax before going to bed.
