Its a mix of CS:GO, The Long Dark and Assetto Corsa for me lately.
I just got the Project Rome mod for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 so I’ve been playing that quite a bit as well! To any BC2 fans out there, make sure you get Project Rome and start playing again! It’s just as fun as it’s ever been.
Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.
To me, Hyper Light Drifter is an all-time legendary game. Gameplay is perfect. The atmosphere is perfect. The soundtrack is absolutely perfect. The game is just perfect.
My gut reaction to this is not good. I don’t see how a 3D game could ever achieve the same level of greatness and immersion that HLD did. They set a ridiculously high bar with HLD and I’m sad tobsee that the next iteration from Heart Machine won’t expand on the foundations they laid. I can’t help but feel disappointed after seeing this but regardless I’m absolutely willing to see what they pull off with this. Fingers crossed.

I have the same experience. I police my algorithm aggressively to the point where I can immediately tell if they’ve made adjustments to it. I’ve blocked american sports channels repeatedly over the last couple years, for example. Youtube shorts contain the highest ratio of right-wing rage bait. Despite never, ever engaging with these videos and actively downvoting and blocking these creators outright, right-wing rage politics are regularly injected into my recommendations, a feed that is mostly focused on music, games, science and technology.
Lmao Google won’t see your money… except when you give them hundreds for their flagship phone which will collect every last bit of data from you that it can.
My brother/sister in christ, please put GrapheneOS or an equivalent on that phone when you get it lol

Well those are some conflicting stories… What was it then? A bar-side cardiac arrest, or a deadly elbow to the face? How can this possibly be confused?
On vacation last fall we ended up hiking in the Lauterbrunnen/Grindelwald area. Took this pic on my Samsung A51 after a quick lunch. Other than the A51’s limited auto PP, there are no edits or adjustments to this photo. Not bad for a cheap phone, eh?
Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

It really does help. I’ve been heavily policing my Youtube feed for years and I can easily see when they make big changes to the algorithm because it tries to force feed me polarizing or lowest common denominator content. Shorts are incredibly quick to smother mebin rage bait and if you so much as linger on one of those videos too long, you’re getting a cascade of alt-right bullshit shortly after.
