I can second this. I had a really nice time playing Stray.

A fellow alt texter!!! The blind community appreciates you. (I’m not blind, just an ally)

Valve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn’t happened by this point, I don’t see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.

I personally use DigitalOcean and find it to be quite user friendly.

They use what they call “Droplets” to create a VPS. You can have multiple at once and it only charges you for the time you use it, and you can delete add more at any time. They’ll just bill you at the end of the month for the usage.

What’s nice is that it also has a marketplace, so if you want to spin up a Docker Ubuntu server, or a vanilla Debian server, you can do that with one click.

It’s cool that you can understand a topic without being a huge fan. Cool to keep up with the entire industry as a whole. Good stuff.

I think you spoke on the most important point. New Super Mario Bros lasted its tenure for far too long, basically killing the entire 2D Mario franchise. This breath of fresh air will continue to inspire future generations of developers to continue to care about 2D Mario. Feels good, considering my entire childhood was spent playing 2D platformers on Nintendo consoles.

Yeah I definitely don’t pre order games anymore. But I’ll be picking this one up on release for sure.

I was going to post a comment similar to this. We’ve made history here!

HI YOUTUBE!

The o is a head and the 7 is an arm. It’s meant to look like somebody performing a salute.

ie: Marine Captain Space Ranger Robert, reporting for duty, sir! o7

I saw this coming from a mile away. Sad, but no longer necessary.
