I’m liking it a lot. I’ve never finished Bioshock, but I’ve played a few hours of it, so it may not be a fair comparison, but the environment feels bigger and more convoluted, everything is less linear. It’s more similar to Prey than Bioshock.
Also, the progression of the player is based on gadgets and weapons, there are no powers to level up by using points.
And with Baldur’s Gate I’m playing a thief which a master on almost every skill, but not the best in combat jajajaja.
Finnished Call of Cthulhu the past week, finally finished Prey this one (I’ve abandoned it for about a year), and between all of this I’m playing Baldur’s Gate 3. Now I want to play again the System Shock remake, I’m far in the game and I think I can finish it without much time.
I use it, and combining it with autocorrect and suggestions I find it really easy and fast to use.
More like unknowns about implementation details. Defining in brainstorming sessions how we want a solution makes sense, but I don’t imagine talking about details.
I was referring more about discussing the details inside of an already defined solution, like, for example, trying to use a library, which one we use, or how would be implemented in detail something.
I’ve always felt that pair programming is more useful on early stages of a task, where there is enough doubt about implementation details and discussing them is worth.
This way it felt more of a meeting between two persons discussing details first, while testing them live to check if we were on track second, instead of programming first and discussing second.
By the time we stand on the screen without talking too much we just stepped aside and separate the task if needed.
Any other kind of forced pair programming feels wrong, either because the task was already planned enough to no create enough discussion, or because it was small enough and the discussion was not worth. I’ve found myself on situations where “we needed” to make a task in pair programming and was dull as you say.
Screencheat if you want a game to “pick up and play”. It’s a shooter with different modes where everyone is invisible and you must look at the other players split screen to deduce where they are and shoot them. It’s really fun to play!
I don’t like it. I play with a Steam Deck from my bed and the Wi-Fi connection is pretty bad from there. I easily loose connection every five minutes.
That means I can’t play any games that require constan online connection, which is a bummer.
I’ve bought a bunch of Wadjet Eye games; Unavowed, Gemini Rue, Primordia, Strangeland, Shardlight, Technobabylon and The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow.
And aside from that, Return of the Obra Dinn.
I’ve already played Gemini Rue, and I’m finishing Unavowed.
