I don't see it here so I'll mention Ty the Tasmanian Tiger! Really fun collectathon platformer. Played through the more recent remaster on PC and realized it's very easy, but I spent a huge amount of time as a kid just running around the maps and hub area.

Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it's even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!

Also tea people should check out !tea@possumpat.io! The only tea community I'm aware of on lemmy. Though it's super inactive right now; I should probably contribute...

Yeah I drink tea, now what am I supposed to believe in?

Transcendental Youth - The Mountain Goats

Title track and closer of one of my all-time favorite albums. The horns are just perfect and the lyrics are beautiful. Makes me think of those little moments of getting lost in something good during bad times, a short escape you know won't last.

Yeah but you'd have to write it across like, 10 post-it notes along the top of your monitor. That'd get expensive!

Big mushy! Some kind of bolete? I really like the light and focus effect.

Idk someone could probably brute force it in only a few trillion years, I'd make it longer if you plan to be using Twitch long-term.

I really want to like Mirage more, but I just don't like her 3...or 4...or 2.

I know her 2 has some meme-y fun potential so I may have to give it another try. Her 3 and 4 are ruined by the light dependency for me though. If she could control the light level around her somehow, or toggle between the two buffs of her 3, she'd be in a way better place for me. Right now if I go back to her it would be after subsuming over her 3 most likely.

It's too bad because I really love her deluxe skin.

Looking up local stuff definitely seems best. Lots of good wildlife rehabs around me, that's usually my go-to.

I spend 1/3rd of my life asleep, and the pillow would guarantee that third is good and memorable. Absolutely the pillow.

Even better!

Make it extra crust with pieces of crust as a topping and it'll be perfect.

I don't know if you were around for the launch, but it was a pretty infamously bad because practically none of the promised features were present. Landing on asteroids, fighting space stations, significant factions, big space battles, sand/water planets, complex crafting, creatures affecting the environment, etc.

I think Hello Games has done a great job turning things around, and shown that they do respect their players, but the launch was definitely a disaster.

I just started using it casually, I mostly follow art stuff. Here's a few of my favorites:

• enchantedbook - illustrations from old books, often folk tales
• pintoras - women painters, usually traditional art
• weirdzoology - weird zoology
• cazadoradehonguitos - mushroom photography (hasn't posted in a month though)

Ohhh it's connect four without gravity! I thought it was baduk and was wondering why they'd be mad when they're going to win, but then I remembered you don't place the stones in the squares.

Pan's Labyrinth
The way it's telling this dark fairy tale with the backdrop of fascism in Francoist Spain, combining real world and fantasy, is just so incredibly well done. It also has one of the most memorably evil antagonists of any media I've experienced, and some very creepy and beautiful creature designs done with practical effects. Everything just comes together perfectly in this movie.

Warframe. Always coming back to Warframe. It's just too fun making my murdermachines look pretty, and there's always something new to work toward. The game also runs incredibly well for how good it looks and how much is going on at once, I should NOT be able to run it at max settings 4k at 60fps with a mid-range gaming PC.
Plus it's really fun getting those big red damage numbers on enemies with the right builds, and I still haven't played another game with a movement system as fun as this one.

I've also been having fun with Armored Core VI, minus the out of place bosses. They definitely just put them in to be like "Look! We have the FromSoft™ bosses!" I ended up making a cheese build to effectively skip them. The actual mech combat parts are really fun though, and I love trying all the different kinds of loadouts! Runs well on a Steam Deck too which is always good.

Just about at the end of the first season, so lots more to see

I like the perspective, really cool!

Oh they're really impressive, Overtime is another great one.

I've really been enjoying Adventure Time lately, so I'm glad to hear this! I don't know why I didn't watch it when it originally aired but I've been missing out; I'll be checking this show out once I finish up for sure.

Awesome! The AI summarizer is very useful, and it gives quality search results from my experience with the free trial. $10 a month still seems a little high for a search engine, though I'm definitely eyeing it more now...

Hopefully we see more competition in the future with paid search engines, this seems to be new territory where everyone is still pretty unsure of the right pricing. I think $5 a month is going to be the sweet spot for me.

I hate that it gets dismissed as just being cosmetic. I love making cool looking characters in games, it's really fun and is part of the content for me, especially if it's multiplayer.

Magic Wand - 48 reviews.

This person makes some weird games, most of them free. Just check out their beautiful website!

This is a trippy isometric RPG, takes maybe an hour to finish, and plays like a total fever dream. It was weird and mostly didn't make sense and I loved it. I think it's all told out of order too.

I found this developer sometime last year and just really enjoy their general philosophy on making games.

If you don't know what a videogame is or what they're supposed to do with one that's cool, nobody else does either. Chew up garbage media and use the mulch to make cool hives to store the tiny, stupid things you care about
- Excerpt from the website

Their range is so impressive. I especially have been enjoying Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms, and Lava! One of my favorite albums of the last year, and has some elements of jazz fusion/funk (though I guess you wouldn't exactly call it a jazz album lol).

For folk I've gotta recommend The Mountain Goats! Specifically their earlier stuff, the newer is maybe a little less folk and more just indie rock (but also very good). The Sunset Tree and Tallahassee are what people usually recommend for the first album, but We Shall All Be Healed is my absolute favorite, and what I'm recommending.

This album specifically deals with themes of struggle and addiction. They have this very "everything is fucked but we push through" way about a lot of their songs that I just love. My favorite song off this album is Letter From Belgium. This band is an amazing source of emotional support through hard times and the community is fantastic!

"All of the songs on We Shall All Be Healed are based on people John used to know. Most of them are probably dead or in jail by now."

Maybe Tetris? Such a simple concept, and it's one of the most popular games of all time.

Minecraft for similar reasons. Even if it has become more complex in recent years, the core of it is just...you can break everything and build anything. It's hard to say that isn't a perfect sandbox.

More personal opinion though, maybe Super Mario Odyssey.

Horrifying that these tools exist at all, the article brings up it has a "greater negative impact on students from low-income families, black students, hispanic students, and those with learning differences" as well. It sounds like this just harms everyone. I do not trust the excuse of the tools being intended to prevent harm in the slightest.

Schools should be a place students can trust, acting to uplift and support them. But if the schools don't even trust the students, how can we expect it to be a safe place?

Woo! Welcome new people!

Accidentally killing the Scout as Driller with C4 is a time-honored tradition. (Sorry Scout mains)

The angle kinda makes it look like a 2d sidescroller, cool shot!

If you see sugar kiss/origami/orange candy melon I recommend any of those! Melons are in season right now where I am, and those three are pretty much the best. Honeydew or sliced kiwi make a nice color break too! Then throw in some blueberries and you've got a rainbow!

You got it!

Yeah!

Nanaaaaa nanananana na naa na

Animal Crossing! (DOOM?)

I saw your pfp on another post and wanted to get a closer look at the gills, then immediately saw this post. Beautiful mushroom!

Oh I love this, really nice style!

Oh I'll have to subscribe to that! I'll see if I can figure out cross-posting it.

I knew it would upset me, yet still I clicked. Nice job on it!
