No love for Against the Storm? Technically it released 8th of December last year, but that’s not enough time for it to be able to get GotY for 2023, so it’s got to fit in here. (also I only played it after new years)

Other than that Balatro has got to be a strong contender for me. PoE2 is looking more and more likely to take it home next year for me.

To be fair, the same argument can be applied both ways.

Depends, he might not be a giver!

I’m in the same boat. FTL is where it’s at (for me).

There are lots of games you can play without even having steam running.

I haven’t played in a couple of years now, since they released the big open world plains. I did install it earlier in the fall, but still haven’t gotten around to it yet…

Haha, you’ll have to ask the AI about that…

Another fun one to try is contexto.me. You guess a word, and an AI gives a score on how close it deems you are to the word.

I got back into Path of Exile a month ago, and that’s still going on. Last time I didn’t do more than finishing the campaign, but this time I’m well into end game and it’s great!

I’ve also started playing Siege Survival: Gloria Victis this weekend. You play as a couple of characters in a city that’s under siege. During the day you need to create supplies for the soldiers in your bastion, and during the nights you’ve got to sneak around the city and gather materials, or scout behind the enemey lines to get Intel for the next siege attack. It’s actually really fun!

Heh, I do have link previews on, and I’ll never forget XcQ. But the joke is on you, I’ll always listen to that banger!

Not really related, but I believe this is the first time I’ve seen an emoji as a link 🤯

I assume so, but I’m not sure where. I’ll have to Google it later

Also based in the EU, and mine were turned on

I don’t know much about the technology, so I can’t comment on that. But I don’t really see politicians pushing for this, at least not succesfully. There are too many rightwing obstructionists in most Western governments right now…

It’s way less than that. 2.39x10^20 is around 4% of 5.8x10^21. Not even close to “almost as much”. Looks like the authors don’t know their powers of 10. So if we dedicate 5% of the total energy for one year it could theoretically be done.

Yep, it’s close to 4% of the total. Not really “almost as much”.

I’ve heard that New World is in a good place now. I’m actually planning to take it up again to see if it’s true.

Sure, but it also only counts book time. If you listen 2x it’s only 7.5 hours.

Nah, what’s worse is that it’s only 15(!) hours per month!

Regular ReVance works just fine. Installed it to my wife’s phone just earlier today.
