| I've been working on a 2D platformer using Godot. I'm impressed by the simplicity of it in terms of the built-in functions, the scene/node structure, and GDScript itself. You don't really need to know how to code, you just need to understand logic. Building a system of state functions (and making a ... |

| Sold my Quest 2 recently because I wasn't really using it. It is impressive, truly, but I also think it's a bit faddy. I don't know how long it'll last. I sort of agree but also the Quest 2's lens is really bad. I tried one before my current headset (Pico 4) and it seemed barely useable for all the... |

| I've been meaning to seriously try a Touhou game for a long time, but I always heard Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night were the best ones. Or at least, those are the ones I keep hearing about. Those are commonly listed as the easier ones, but they can be slightly harder to access becaus... |

| the 19th mainline Touhou Project series game, "Touhou Juuouen: Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost." is my favorite video game of all time. I keep playing it and keep loving it. Sure, gameplay can get a bit janky, but ZUN had half a year to make this as he started in winter last year and... |

I was playing Kuro no Kiseki 2 but I'm taking a break while I play Lies of P and the new RE4 DLC. Might also go for my first Cyberpunk playthrough since the game came out, on account of the new upd... |

Sonic Mania really feels like what it could have looked like if they made another 2D Sonic in the same style on Saturn, the level design is top-notch too. |

| I believe I read somewhere (or just made it up in my mind) that the direction of the voice acting was inspired by David Lynch films, specifically Rabbits (2002). You can find the short film on youtube. Listen to how the actors deliver their lines. I should watch some Lynch films. I just have a real... |

| :twisted: Another aspect is the refresh rate. Some modern high-quality monitors have a 100hz refresh rate compared to the standard 60hz rate in older monitors. While this provides a more fluid graphic experience, it can *also* cause dizziness... Funny you should say that faster refresh rates cause d... |

| I played through Doom VFR and I think I'm close to the end now. This game got a lot of negative attention and, to be fair, it has its fair share of issues. For one, you have to enable smooth turning using the console. The first few levels are also quite basic; it feels as if they don't trust the pla... |

| Out of the trilogy, Silent Hill 2 is my favorite. The ending made me SOB when Mary was reading the entire letter. The fear of nothing is one of my favorite horror aspects too? If that makes sense. You do not know why you are scared, you cannot see beyond the void, you start to think of what could b... |

| I feel the same way, it's sort of like other people get something from socialising that I don't. I like interesting conversations but, otherwise, being around people is just a burden and not something I enjoy. Finding people with similar hobbies as mentioned above is probably good advice, but it can... |

/me rides into the thread on a white horse, puts horn to mouth and declares "I LIKE THEM FOR THEIR PERSONALITY!"
Haha, but seriously though, I want someone who's a bit dishevelled simply so I don't have to worry too much about my own appearance. We need that as an option. |
