Hey, make sure you get a balanced diet of board sports though.
You got your downhill longboarding racing with Driftwood

and your realistic, park/trick focused realistic snowboarding with Shredders

All part of a healthy breakfast
For me it is loading up Xonotic to strafe jump around and blast bots. The movement in Xonotic is hypnotic, and while I usually play in short bursts I don’t think I will ever get bored of returning over and over again to learn the nuances and creative opportunities of combat and movement in Xonotic. All it takes is the first strafe jump to put a stupid smile on my face.
Also I love open world driving games and Motortown is my jam. I do urgent taxi jobs and just let my mind relax as I drive like a complete madman. The tire grip and burnout mechanics along with the vehicle handling in general is the best I have tried in any game.

Also Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead!
Also see Voidigo, Blazing Beaks and of course Nuclear Throne!
I want to see someone take an actual slot machine rip out all the evil bits and replace it with a computer running Luck Be A Landlord with custom flashing lights for when you win, the slot machine lever and all that stuff.
It would be pretty awesome
The pathetic thing is games of the ilk of balatro and luck be a landlord (also OG peggle) are actually the kind of game that plays with your gambling impulses but in a healthy and fun way, these games should be celebrated for subverting the language of gambling to make something beautiful, how pathetic to have so little actual understanding of video games and yet have this kind of power to impact the industry.
Beyond All Reason is one of my favorite games ever, here is a good beginner tutorial
Here is an example of what high level play looks like.
They won’t, indie gaming will pick up some of the slack but we are witnessing the end of a golden era in game development.
Also I could care less about the AAA studios themselves. What is tragic is that without AAA studios the stepstones for advancing in a career of game development has become an order of magnitude farther apart and less realistic (especially if you have a family or something and need some amount of consistency).
Also the taller the building is the more potential passive air circulation on hot days.
There is no way this person will be apprehended alive, they could walk up to a police station naked with their hands up get on their knees and beg for their life, every single police officer they could possibly encounter will universally pull out their handgun and immediately murder them in broad daylight and they will be cheered on by Good Morning America when they do for keeping everyone safe.
If you think the police will do otherwise you misunderstand the essential function of police, especially in the US, which is to protect capital and the owners of capital and sustain inequality through violence.
Exactly, what makes an act evil or not is a really complicated question unless the action in question is mass murder. In that case, there isn’t a debate, it is evil, there is no slippery slope. The CEO undeniably caused the deaths of countless people and maimed and permanently hurt many more. At least the person who killed the CEO actually carried out the act of taking someone’s life themselves and bore witness themselves to the horror of taking a human’s life. The healthcare CEO on the other hand was the most cowardly kind of murderer, someone who has killed far too many to name but simultaneously would be utterly shattered by exposure to actually witnessing first hand even a tiny fraction of all of the people they murdered suffering and dying right in front of them.
It is the ultimate form of violence to kill without a desire to know, to understand, to emphasize or even to remember because it zeroes in and underlines what makes violence horrific, the erasure of beautiful things that had a history, a past and a future… and that is all healthcare CEOs really do at this point, kill without a desire to know.
They aren’t exclusive entities when you consider the careers of game developers who may have otherwise been able to leverage the stability and opportunities that came from working for a large company to advance their career and eventually create successful indie game studios themselves. This is ultimately bad for indie game development though I understand the schadenfreude.
In 5 years people will realize we were in a golden age of video game development and corporations murdered it by doing this over and over again.
I wouldn’t call it cold blooded, the CEO was cold blooded. The shooter presumably only murdered one person, the healthcare CEO was undoubtedly a mass murderer.
ughhh multiplayer would be amazing
Xonotic is from a different reality were competitive movement shooters never died! It is the active fork of what used to be called Nexuiz.
Xonotic runs on the darkplaces engine, it isn’t just stylistically of the arena shooter era it is directly descended from quake and the lot.
Playerbase is small but consistent, Xonotic is very easy to download game (it is on several linux repos for one) so there are always new people wandering in and a solid community of veterans.
High level competitive gameplay is absolutely wild!
Xonotic “defrag” is a community of people who just strafe jump race, Xonotic is very popular for that given the buttery dream-like highspeed movement.
(beginner tip the blaster is your best friend, you always spawn with it and it massively elevates movement in Xonotic)
Is the mobile version kept up to date? Does it have multiplayer?
Thankfully we have Xonotic
One of the cheat codes for xbox ghost recon did that, the genius came from how terrifying the chicken sounds were post explosion audio slow-mo fx. The xm24 grenade launcher hybrid gun became a portal straight to foul hell.
The cheat is listed here, it is the best kind of cheat though in that it isn’t really a cheat at all, just an invitation to laugh about a gag that is waaaay more funny than it has any right to be.

I don’t give a shit generally about AAA games but the value of having large stable game development studios goes beyond the direct games they create, this is a crucial stepping stone for would be indie game development studio founders detonated and destroyed and mark my words the collapse of stable, consistent employment in the game development industry will play right into a brutal deleveraging of worker’s negotiating power and lead to further consolidation in the industry around AAA studios that have to try less and less hard (and pay their developers less and less) because very few indie studios will be able to weather these manufactured and designed shocks to the system.
This is the same old strategy cut throat robber barons/capitalist oligarchs always use to steal from workers.
