  • Love that your example was riven. Was my first thought on the title.

    The myst games, their newer game Obduction, the Talos Principle. Those puzzle games all are awesome and take some pen and paper.

    Escape from mystwood mansion, the house of da Vinci are a couple others that feel the same way.

    Less adventure, more “must optimize!” games like Satisfactory, Factorio are other games that require me to bust out pen and paper or at least a website, spreadsheet or calculator.









  • I think they came to the wrong conclusion. Yes those games were cheaper, but really they were just good, and mostly finished at launch. Didn’t feel like we were nickle and dimed for more DLC or season passes or mtxs, we got whole games that were fun.

    All the big “AAA blockbuster” games anymore are reskinned, half finished versions of the last version, and the only thing they’ve put a ton of time into is analyzing how to get addicts hooked and spending the maximum amount on micro transactions.





  • Why should a company get to use my work and data for free to train their AI, for which they’ll make a ton of money, without compensating me. At a minimum they should be informing me so I can make that choice with full knowledge.

    This isn’t a university or educational research either, this is one of the largest companies in the world with Billions of dollars in annual revenue. And to top it off, I already have to pay them for their operating system and annually for their office suite. So not only am I paying them for their product, they’ll then steal my data to train an AI to try and sell that to us too?

    That’s not even taking into account any concerns with “AI might replace me at my job” that a number of folks have.
