If you get tickets for the PNE, get some food, get some beers, maybe see a show, uber/cab there and back, tips, it's easily a $300 night for two adults.

I became an electrician for a while. I really enjoyed the random things that would happen when working on physical things in physical locations that just never happen working on games. When I came back to games, it was the random encounters and happenings that I missed the most.

Understandable. For people that want to get closer to that aesthetic, they can work within those limitations. It was a big part of the PS2 look.

PS2 textures were mainly 64 x 64 and 4-bit (16 colors per texture) to fit the PS2's 8k texture cache. If you wanted something larger, you either reduced the colors or you took a texture cache miss.

You should read about Russell Hurlburt's research. He's found that approximately 60% of people do not or have very little inner monologue. They do not make their decisions based on logical argument. There are disagreements with his work, but I think it makes sense based on the behaviours we see.

Maybe something like this. I think the midpoint works, the hardness is in the ballpark but I think you want a different sort of contrast.

Sick. I fought for years to get designers to add mic-activated features to mobile and VR games, and they always refused. You gotta do things yourself, so well done.

I had an idea for a game called Depressed Pong. It's pong, but the paddles have depression.

Noita - always surprises me
Hunter: CotW - I love the stealth mechanics in this game.
any Fallout Game : I love exploring a wasteland, and killing stuff. The missions are usually interesting enough, but I enjoy seeing the end result the most. Tenpenny Tower mission in Fallout 3, for example.

Ubik is a little confusing on the first read, in my opinion, but it's a great book. The most straightforward PKD novel is Dr. Bloodmoney. I am shocked it hasn't been made into a movie.

It's a nice spot for ice fishing in the winter, but the ice is thin so I would fish from the walkway.
