Loved Outer Wilds, but yeah, some clever “time dilation” could be applied while exploring inside of planets or particularly complex segments or close to a goal. So many times I had to go into Ash Twin to try to finish a puzzle before the sand rises. It does help that translator pauses time though, and options let you pause conversations too.
Liked Witcher 3, but absolutely hated Gwent that most people seem to love. What do you mean players use their own cards? How could this be even remotely balanced? I ended up simply running out of cards three times I tried to play.
(The sentiment applies to IRL card-hoarding games)
F-Droid (the FOSS software repo for Android) has been getting more and more AI slop too. Just yesterday, I was looking for a SSH/terminal app, and top/recent results have Claude as author.
Sometimes difficult to tell, but what I notice:
Edit:
Misommar was meh. Yes, it had a new and unusual aesthetic for a horror movie, but that’s about it. Cults prey on the weak and traumatized, we get it. I don’t remember there being much of a plot, just weirdness and violence for sake of weirdness and violence.
But then the bigger issue is all the ignorant people who start associating flower crowns and Nordic (and even Slavic) traditions with “just like Midsommar!!”. Same happened with Kazakhstan (" very naice!") and Eastern Europe (after “Hostel”)
