stringere@sh.itjust.worksto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?3·7 days agoDrop Duchy - Roguelike Tetris/card/city builder. 13 hours in and it’s solid./L Description from the Steam page does a good job of explaining an unconventional roguelike.
Drop Duchy - Build your duchy piece by piece in this refreshing hybrid rogue-lite game. Use block-dropping mechanics to collect resources, recruit troops to fight against belligerent armies, and let every block shape your realm, leading your path to victory!
Webbed - This deceptively simple metroidvania is based around using spiderwebs as the main mechanic for puzzle solving. You have two web modes: swinging or pulling yourself to a surface or creating persistent webs. The webs stay when you leave the current screen/room so when you spend time making yourself a ramp to get somewhere you don’t need to redo it again when you return to an area.
I also thought it was a cool touch that they made it accurate to nature in that the male spider is a riot of color and the female is grey/browns. I think they’re based on peacock spiders and the protagonist is the female.
stringere@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•After saying negative reviews 'might just cause our death' and 'we've got a few months left in the oven', No Rest for the Wicked CEO claims he never said they were in 'immediate financial danger'English3·7 days agoI loved the Ori games and No Rest for the Wicked was shaping up to be a great game. Hoping my refund request to Steam wallet goes through; 67 hours played. I included in my refund request that I want to take that money and use it to support a studio that isn’t run by an asshole (but worded gooder).

I was really liking this game but I’m not supporting trash people with my money. Sucks for the developers working there. Refund requested and review with reasoning posted.
I was unaware that Thomas Mahler was such a goon, bad boss, and puts out misleading press to bolster sales. I have requested a refund and will not be supporting anything he is involved in going forward.

stringere@sh.itjust.worksto CanadaPolitics@lemmy.ca•(Nat Post) Anthony Koch: The U.K. is ending open-borders immigration. Canada should do the same11·7 days agoThe reckoning is coming. If Britain can face it head-on, surely we can too. Better to shape the future on our own terms than to be overwhelmed by its arrival.
What does this even mean
Translation: I’m an anti-immigrant bigoted racist.
2.65 gallon: moon jellyfish
3 gallon: shrimps and snails
20 gallon: tetras, corys, upside down catfish, siamese algae eater (eventually going to other tank), yoyo loach (also bound for other tank if it outgrows the 20), plecos, just had a mystery snail clutch hatch successfully, shrimp
75 gallon: dojo loaches, angelfish, plecos, a panda cory, pictus catfish, synodontis that thinks he’s an upside down catfish, peacock eel, mystery/narite/rabbit snails…loaches ate all the shrimp in Phishadelphia (where it’s always sunny).
21 gallon salt water: clownfish, firefish, diamond goby, lawnmower blenny, lettuce sea slugs, rockflower and bta nems, peppermint shrimp, turbo/snails galore, tiger conch, assorted corals. These are all bound for the 120 reef tank we’re designing.
I can now as well. My connection’s been wonky all morning.
stringere@sh.itjust.worksto The Eternal Playlist@crazypeople.online•Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam2·7 days ago- Technotronic’s other hits include “Get Up! (Before The Night is Over)” and “This Beat is Technotronic”.
- “Pump Up The Jam” has a BPM of 125, the same as the heartbeat of a cat at rest.
- This song is the National Anthem of Canada.
- The lyrics give clues to the location of a buried golden hare that has never been found.

I still won’t justify using a human shield.
Just don’t accept blankets from Colonel Henry Bouquet.

stringere@sh.itjust.worksto Games@sh.itjust.works•A note about the security of your Steam accountEnglish8·7 days agoI also pro-rate the value of my games like this. For instance, Helldivers 2: paid $39.99 (€35,76), played 537 hours. That’s $0.001 (€0,0012) or 1/10th of a cent per hour of play. Even if I add $2000 (€1.788,61) for the PC I play on that still only comes to $3.79 (€4.24) an hour.
Hard to beat that price per hour of entertainment.
My Steam spend over the lifetime of my account comes to $25 (€27,97) a month which is a decent monthly entertainment cost. Of course that doesn’t account for additional spending on other entertainment but putting the total spent amount in perspective is definitely good to do, so thanks for pointing that out for those who need it.
Edit: added € costs
stringere@sh.itjust.workstoworldnews@sh.itjust.works•One Side Routinely Uses Human Shields in Gaza—But Not the Side That’s Usually BlamedEnglish1·7 days agoUsing a human shield is a choice. I think they were making the point that what you said is garbage justification for using a human shield.
