Scaling UI is the ideal IMO. I've had both Switch games with tiny text and games where the huge subtitles are shouting at me.
But if that's not possible then testing it approximating the user experience might work, so further away for console games or tiny screen size for switch and steam deck.

Sometimes I regret that I didn't buy into bitcoin (then sell if for real money) back when I first heard about it, around 2012. Then I see things like this and I'm glad I didn't.

I like that you emphasised 'median'. No counting Horses George who somehow managed to play 28 hours a day 😄

First time I played it I went through the whole game waiting for the plot twist where you find out he's evil, entirely because he seemed so creepy at the start

As the article at the start of the thread shows they're scrambling to find uses for it and paying educational institutions to push it on students is one of those attempts

But if this is the 1st year they're offering it there's a good chance it is just "how to ask chatgpt things you could have googled in 1/2 the time". My data analysis course, and all the others from the same provider is doing that.

"This games horse genetics are so realistic and detailed and inspired me to learn more about real horse genetics so I eventually worked out it's missing one specific coat colour" would be a weird complaint to make IMO. 😄

Oh, and I'll never get to find out what's beyond the mysterious castle gate in the forest.

Also I feel like I have to say Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch met all my expectations. My only "complaints" are there aren't enough side-quests for me and I can't get a flaxen chestnut (aka Epona) but I didn't know about horse genetics when I bought it so I didn't know that would be a problem.

Yeah, your expectations are important too. There's a big difference between "I want to help fund them so they can try making their dream game" and "I am pre-purchasing this game so I can play it". The first one

(I had played dungeon crawlers and possibly rogue-likes, but mainly DnD style ones on PC so I didn't make the connection, and I didn't know until much later they were a whole thing.)

I bought Azure Dreams for the Gameboy because someone told me it was a Pokemon rip-off. It was immediately obvious it wasn't a Pokemon rip-off and I wasn't quite sure what it was but I loved it and played it for years.

Among other things ICE will kidnap anyone they suspect isn't American and even if you're there legally it might be weeks before you get a chance to prove it

It's still saying it's down for me. Is the maintenance longer than expected, or do I need to clear cookies or something?
