CIRCLE WITH A DOT

so forza horizon 6’s recreation of tokyo is really cool and all, but it makes me wonder: what do the people of tokyo do while the horizon festival is going on?

like, tokyo has a population of over 10 million people, tons of them rely on walking around the city, but they just… can’t anymore? sure, some of the sidewalks have barriers protecting pedestrians, but how are they supposed to cross the street without getting hit by some lunatic racer going 100+ mph down a city street?

not to mention that there is way less traffic on the roads than what should exist in a city this large. does the entire city just move out during the festival? where do they relocate to? or is it more of a covid-19 lockdown situation?

@yassie_j i would just assume that the camera was on a drone or something

@thermia happy thermia day!

stephen colbert was going to do WHAT??

really wish my brain would forget about stupid things like a panic attack i had as a kid, and start remembering useful things like whether or not i did the basic tasks that i do every damn day

@yassie_j nini! sweet dreams!

@thermia i haven’t really played d2 since the final shape, but i was a huge destiny nerd since the first game. im kinda sad to see that the d2 era is coming to an end, but at the same time, it’s been long overdue ever since they started removing content with new expansions (rip red war, my beloved)

i highly doubt they’ll just end the destiny franchise at this point tho, they are hopefully just gearing up to do d3 to get more hype into the series and refresh the engine and whatnot (and maybe add linux support )

this quiz lies. i’m not buppy

does anyone know if there's a firefox extension that makes duckduckgo searches default to displaying only results from 2022 or before?

i'm so sick of llm generated garbage sites when searching for literally anything

my day is saved

omg! i forgot! new game changer!

@yassie_j (high school for me was the latter half of the 2010s to put that into time perspective)

@yassie_j back in high school i had some friends that would regularly get <1mbps (despite their family paying for 10), and whenever we would want to play a new game i would have to download it on a flash drive and give it to them the next day at school

which was still faster than them downloading most games

you’re always in my long-term memory (i’ll never forget about you)

i just finished the currently available story in subnautica 2. took me a bit over 11 hours. very fun game. you can clearly see that it’s in early access, there’s a lot of content that is in the first game but is not yet implemented in this one. a lot of quality of life improvements are needed, as well as just more content (especially regarding vehicles)

the map is especially big. it’s been a while since i played the first game, so i don’t quite know how it compares. this game’s map is so large though that a lot of my time were just holding ‘w’ towards a beacon in the distance (hopefully they add better vehicles in the future for this issue)

the story is pretty compelling too. obviously it’s not complete yet, and what’s currently there does not tie up the major plot lines, but i can see the vision and am eagerly awaiting the continuation

as for bugs, i only really encountered 5, which is pretty good for a newly released early access game:

1. sometimes items will just disappear if dropped close to the surface of the water
2. sometimes when driving the vehicle, it’ll just randomly respawn in the docking bay (only happened to me twice, and it was when i was going home anyway)
3. some audio was missing subtitles, and it would then repeat the last played audio’s subtitles instead
4. sometimes dialog wouldn’t actually play the audio, but the subtitles would advance through the conversation
5. the game lost all lighting stopped during a long play session. a simple restart of the game resolved it

oo concrete! i hope it’s reinforced with rebar like a biscuit in a candy bar

@MiaWinter i now need to listen to my e-reader in a completely quiet environment and see if it does it too

@sodiboo happi sodibirthday!
