Strong disagree, balatro plays on the same things that vampire survivors does: overwhelming the enemy with enormous domination.

And let me know when in the casinos (authorized) SKILL USE is the most important part.

I don't disagree that AAA games have horrible practices at time, but poking Balatro is a big mistake.


It depends, if you consider how much it costs to feed the human to power it, it doesn't become as clear.

But to be fair we don't consider the health benefits of a human powering it either


Wasn't the first tesla in like 2017?

I hate the idea of dynamic pricing but whenever I see it applied to McDonald all I can think of is:

So, what? Their food taste terrible, just don't go there and it will solve many problems!


And this should be illegal. This is blocking resale and creating waste for no reason.

Same question: I exercise and eat healthy, but I sit for long stretches

It's probably not too healthy to sit for too long. If unavoidable, eg. in schools, best thing is to periodically stand up for a while before contining with more sitting...

No I work from home and could definitely get up, but when I get in the zone I literally forget, and getting up is often detrimental to my focus.

Doesn't mean I can't do anything for it though.


And yet it is a great starting signal, possibly better than "I like the other person physically".

One of the best ways to have a long term relationship is by talking to each other, having stuff in common is a good way to set the stage for that


Yeah but the cost per passenger is in the hundreds due to private car ownership


Isn't Activision Blizzard, which implies they make call of duty which is one of the games that makes the most money out there?

I don't like any of that, but they do make money.

As for good games, the last one was warcraft 3 maybe


Yeah they still make good money.

I think calling WC3 the last good game is immoderately scornful though.

I regret the time I spent playing WoW, but it was category defining and a cultural phenomenon.

StarCraft 2 was excellent, perhaps to this day the best RTS ever made.

Diablo 3 was highly regarded.


> Diablo 3 was highly regarded.

Lol, Diablo 2 was the last good Diablo (it has a great remaster now btw).


Fair point on WoW and I totally forgot Starcraft 2.

Diablo 3 I played extensively, yet I felt somewhat disgusted by the end of it.

But it's a product of that time. If I think about the games I played recently, nothing holds except Warcraft 3 with the custom maps.

I have little time so I play only what I consider "top" for my taste and drop everything else, even in the "good" category. Due to that my last few years have been games that last me hundreds and hundreds of hours with high satisfaction, or shorter games with high satisfaction.

Either way, I would never play diablo 3 the same amount of time I did back in the day, the only reason I played was because of the friends I had


Diablo 3 got such a harsh reaction that one of the lead game developers quit the industry after


Diablo 3, no, it was horrible

The rest you've mentioned were bangers in their own ways however.


Oh god YES! I paid for paint.net on Windows because it's the only software I find reasonably simple AND reasonably advanced, covering all my usage.

The lack of a linux version was a huge disappointment, especially since most of my computers are switching to windows (I have 2 more on windows and was evaluating moving one of the two over!)
