I tried to get into this game because I like Rimworld but damn is it so hard to learn. I couldn’t even get past the tutorial.

Gacha games.
I play Genshin Impact and one gacha is enough for me.
How was the concept first explained to you, or when did it click?
I don’t remember. We had classes throughout elementary school that taught us how to use computers. I learned how to read the news and use email from my mom. I learned how to play games like Silkroad and StarCraft from my dad. I don’t remember who taught me how to watch videos on YouTube. It kind of felt natural I guess.
Do you understand how insane it is to have the aggregate of all human knowledge — the only comparable thing once being a physical library or university — one search away? That it’s absolutely insane you can engage in a real-time conversation with someone on the opposite side of the world? That you can find niche communities in an instant?
No, not really. I never thougt about it that way until I was much older.
Were your parents super strict about internet usage? How quickly did you find workarounds?
Very strict. I could only use the internet if it was for school work during the week days. But during the weekends, I was free to use it however I wanted.
There were no workarounds until high school when I was free to play games and surf the web as much as I wanted any day of the week.
StarCraft. I never played Legacy of the Void campaign and I was told the ending was bad. Would be nice to have a StarCraft III though
Dink Smallwood is an old fantasy role playing game. It has a small community that makes mods for it. It’s really dumb but it’s free to play and very short if you have nothing better to do.
edit: Wow! I didn’t realize a lot of people here know this game. That’s actually cool.
I assume it’s fake because they don’t mention the game itself in the review and I see it copy-pasted in a lot of games. I think it’s a way to farm steam point rewards.
I hate those copy-pasted reviews of an old person having lots of fun playing the game with their kid. It’s told in a way that’s emotional and I thought it was true until I started seeing the exact same review copy-pasted on every other game.
Maybe my Gmail account. I made it to play Club Penguin. I still use it when signing up for things.
I have some old forum accounts but I don’t use them anymore. I also had a Minecraft account from before the Mojang and Microsoft migrations. That’s gone now. :(
My League of Legends and Steam accounts are old too.
Win/Super key
I find that pretty safe.
ATM I love the soundtracks of:
Yup, the Hideaki Anno movie! I think it’s one of the greatest movies I’ve seen. There’s a chapter of the book called Sexography that discusses the movie very well. It kind of helped me understand the issue a bit more.
I haven’t seen Ritual yet but it’s on my watch list!
Bypassing paywalled articles.
There’s old movies there, too.
“Sans Soleil” by Chris Marker.
It’s a documentary that only uses “stock footage” and a woman reading letters. It’s about time and memory and other philosophical stuff.
I also really like the tunnels feature. It makes self hosting at home easy for those under NAT/CGNAT or whatever it was called.
The Great Train Robbery (Edwin S. Porter)
Any of Satoshi Kon’s works (Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, etc). IMO, he’s one of the few animation directors who really takes advantage of everything animation has to offer.
