Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn’t feel this way at all when I played it.

I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.

True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.

I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn’t land for people as successfully

I thought the writing was excellent, especially compared to the first game. It also had a bisexual storyline for what it’s worth but I generally thought it was such a great expansion of all their ideas.

Also loved the free teaser game captain awesome, and how it crossed over into the main game.

I feel like they really were stung by the overall reception of it, that we lost the storyline we’d have had if it had gone over well. I thought it was vastly superior personally. That said I’ve enjoyed all the games in the series. Before the storm feels janky at first but does have some decent writing in it also.

Stoked for that and Blood and Rage early next year as well

Thanks for sharing this. I love the series so I will play this, tbqh I’m not sure these events mark Deck Nine out much from the industry as a whole sadly.

Off topic, what did y’all think of LiS2? I thought it was a real shame that it didn’t do as well as they hoped.

Then fuckin’ watch all of Mulholland Drive

Yes, why to do this?

Beautiful game! I found the chase sections stressful though, for such a chill experience

OTOH call out this shit where you see it, and that requires some inertia correction for the ultra privileged. What might be a grown up conversation between two normal people may currently require something different for a normal person and someone who doesn’t give two shits about said person

I was looking at the Nothing Bluetooth earbuds but the unnecessary AI feature put me off them

This is kinda working for me

I like CandyCons!

Kid A was class when it came out

I just gave it a quick go but I’ve never used the app in landscape once in 10 or so years!

Edit: sorry forgot to add that it seemed generally ok to me!

I am using action launcher and I have my search set to duck duck go!

If you use Steam you can search on the category “Choices Matter” FYI

I know exactly the part you mean and same. Amazing moment. I also LOVED the sequel. Criminal that it didn’t do as well as they wanted because I want them to make an even bigger version next. True Colours was pretty good though

That was due to Google IIRC. I think the thing a lot of people don’t really get, is that this app is made by a small team (believe just one person with some general adhoc help).

It’s a fantastic content browsing experience with a ton of features. It might not be sustainable still given the small user numbers on Lemmy. I don’t know.

This user seems to have an edge case that is probably a lower priority. Doesn’t seem to require the PSA really. Obviously no bugs would be great but that’s not really how software works unfortunately.

Second that. The DLC is also worth it because its just more of what you liked

I hope they don’t mess with the format too much
