People still complain about this? I remember hearing this crap when I was 11 years old. Now I'm 26. But learning cursive definitely ranks low on the list of useless classes I've had to take growing up.

Probably simalar.

Currently it is sitting at "Overwhelmingly Positive" on steam, with a 96% approval rating.

It's no metacritic sure, but I've played NMS and Subnautica extensively. NMS is shit. Subnautica is great. Just gotta take my word for it man. Not going to lose sleep if you don't believe me though lol.

But can you even escape the planet? Last I knew the crashed ship didn't even have any content associated with it.

That's the 1.0 update. The game ends when you escape and enter space. Crashed ship? You mean the Aurora? P.R.A.W.N. (powersuit) blueprints are in there, and a power cell that doubles energy efficiency in your submarine. Furniture is there too to scan, and some story content, but those are the main reasons to go there since I last played a few months ago.

Its like the space game that flopped last year but underwater.

No Man's Sky?? Except the ratings are in the complete opposite direction :D

All I remember is getting the weird nautilus looking submarine and finding almost nothing when I went to the deeper water. As I recall, They had big manta ray kinda things and some glowy caves but realized it was very repetitive.

In your case I would direct you to the wiki to find you some cool upgrades or machine blueprints. They can be difficult to find if you are looking for something specific. I use beacons to mark and name everything as I go. Maybe try that to get a sense of where everything is. Sometimes you have to look for materials for another upgrade, but it's all towards an end goal to escape the planet. I found the progression rather rewarding and not grindy imo.

Is there anything to do besides explore the like 100 feet of ocean that has anything in it?

100 feet of ocean???? When was the last time you played?? The map is a good size. Especially for $25. If I were to pick something to complain about it would be the fact that you don't really get real weaponry to take out threats. But that is a deliberate design choice. There are ways to get them off your tail, freeze them still, or push them away. You can kill some of the big stuff, but it's not worth the effort. I can see why people would complain about that. But the map doesn't come to mind to me as an issue to be honest. I never thought it small. Did you ever get a submarine with depth upgrades? There's more to see farther down.

yeah my mom always gets on my ass about it and never lets up....like every so often she's gotta ask "hows your handwriting coming along? you realize nobody will want to acknowledge you If it's not good enough"

Wtf....I've never seen anyone harp on handwriting like that. Unless they're either reading doctor's orders or they are a teacher. I know adults who write like 3rd graders and they do just fine. As long as people can read it. Main thing is you gotta slow down. I have to anyways. I had a really particular teacher in high school that marked off points for it. So that fixed mine up pretty well. I know how to write well but I have to slow it down to do so.
And a perfect signature means so little..unless you are an artist because it's how people find you. It's more about uniqueness than legibility anyways.

In less than 7 hours, it will finally be updated to version 1.0. The price will remain the same at $25.00. But this would be a good time to buy it and get it downloaded if you don't own the game already. That way you'll only have to download a patch. If you live in the middle of nowhere with shitty internet like me, then it's best to get a jump on it lol.

I have owned the game for a few years now, and have enjoyed it thoroughly. It is the best underwater game that I am aware of. Currently it is sitting at "Overwhelmingly Positive" on steam, with a 96% approval rating. I have personally played it about 100 hours total..and for $25.00, that's pretty good.

I particularly like the base building aspect. The way you progress from basic flippers into a submarine with an impenetrable shield powered by ion power cells..is satisfying. It's also a mobile base that you can use to extend your reach into the deepest reaches of the ocean. It's a unique experience. No other game does underwater survival better.

I imagine that a lot of the people interested already own it, but if not, it can give you something to do until Monster Hunter comes out..for sure. It's what I will be doing.

Once I found out about n4g, I've been using that. Gathers up all of the news from various sites and then you can see with a glance how hot any given story is. I can filter it to show me stories over a certain popularity ranking over the course of a week. Quick way to get caught up on anything relevant.
Then there's metacritic for video game scores. Little point to go to ign now other than the random game info that I need that google picks up in their wikis sometimes.

Umm...whoever was arguing about it, soda is bad for your health. That's proven fact. It's just an issue of quantifying to what extent the soda has already affected you, no matter how small. Water is obviously the healthier alternative, which I don't believe anyone would argue with, but I've been proven wrong before lol. A lot of the health problems I see in older folks are a result of the same bad habits that have been repeated for decades. As far as what affects you more adversely, the cigarettes do. Easily.

I did like the cheat codes one, multiplatform games, and no more microtransactions.
I guess mine would be:
1. Mobile gaming to become as close to on par with console gaming as possible.
2. Microsoft to actually make some RPGs.
3. Nintendo to always release first party games with difficulty modes.

For my driving test, not doing the parallel parking correctly resulted in an automatic fail. On the one hand I understand because that's an accident. But on the other I have never parallel parked since my driving test about 9 years ago. There's always a spot maybe 10 seconds farther down, tops. It's never been worth the hassle for me personally.

"...So that brings the tally to 13 minor fender-benders in more than 1.8 million miles of autonomous and manual driving and still, not once was the self-driving car the cause of the accident."

It is common for older people not to trust technology because they don't understand it. They don't care to learn it because they don't see the need when they've been doing it the same way for years with few issues. I see this attitude as an unnecessary way to handicap yourself. New technology is being developed every day for the exact purpose of making our lives easier. I look forward to the day when old people don't have this irrational fear of technology. Sure there will be issues, but nowhere near enough to swear off technology for the sake of being old fashioned.

Also they're not going to ban manual driving. That's just stupid.

At the nursing homes I've worked at, I've always been busy the entire shift. Stuff would commonly get cut out and other things prioritized due to lack of time, or I would have to stay over every day for hours. Corners that were cut were never to put a patient at harm. Usually it was paperwork that got the shaft.
Home health has been much more laid back, often times I am sitting down with nothing to do for several hours. Needless to say I don't work at nursing homes anymore. The slightly increased pay I would get is not worth it by a long shot, especially as a single guy with no dependents.

High sales do not equal a good game. Sales will tell you that it caught the attention of many people, but that doesn't mean that a game that was much less advertised (and sold less) is by definition, worse.
I don't care for Pokemon due to its marginal changes over a 20 year span, compared to other games that reinvent large sections of their game and take more risks. I could go on for pages about that but I don't care nearly enough lol.
Regardless, I would gladly take Pokemon over any mobile game!!!!
We're starting to see the bar raised for mobile games, very slowly but surely. Runescape is supposed to come out for the mobile platform, and despite the p2w aspects, I wouldn't be surprised if it became one of the most dominant games on the platform. (which isn't saying much, but still)

Fair enough. All I can think of is just keep playing them. I mean the more you're exposed to something the easy it will become to see it in theory. This isn't a guarantee of course.

Now that I think about it that's how they get people to manage arachnophobia isn't it? I think I can do it. There's just this disconnect between what I know is logical and this irrational fear. I 100% acknowledge that there is no reason to be afraid. It's strange for sure, but I just started, and I will keep going.

Red. I played it with a friend of mine in first grade. I remember spreading rumors about the Mew in the truck, and that you could use Pikachu to use thundershock on the npc offering fossils to get both of them. There was this other kid who told me that I could get a Mew by catching a Magikarp with a super rod near the S.S. Anne, then you would cancel his evolution until he evolved into a glitched Snorlax at level 40, and then it would somehow immediately evolve into a Mew afterwards. I remember having trouble trying to even catch a Magikarp with the super rod, hell it might not have even been possible there lol.
Needless to say I never got that Mew.

Fast forward several years later and in the sixth grade, I left my GBC in the bathroom. My cousin who I was living with at the time started a new game and saved over my file, which broke my heart because my level 100 Mewtwo was on it.
May he rest in peace
His data was still on Pokemon Stadium though, so I could still fight with him...just never could use him anywhere else ever again..

I've almost died in real life a couple of times and my heart-rate basically remained normal and I just continued about my day. Throw me into Silent Hill though and I'm all "ah! you play!" and chucking the controller at my friend or something.

I've heard so much about Silent Hill. BUT I'll save that for when I am more comfortable with the less frightening games lol.

I wonder if cheap jump scares ever killed anyone. This one in particular got me good when I was younger

You seemed to handle it just fine now though, if that's you in the video. I would imagine that older people or people with heart problems might have some trouble if they're scared badly enough.

Zeus posted...

Yes, that is embarrassing. Especially since most horror games aren't that scary in the first place and most people stop being properly afraid by horror by the age of 12 or 13. Otherwise go binge horror movies until you stop being so easily spooked.

Yea I was just never exposed to it, or avoided it. I mean doesn't it make sense, to prefer funny or happy things? Though recently I've felt like I have been missing out, so I will keep trying.

Maybe they just aren't your cup of tea. Nothing wrong with that.

You know I was leaning that way. But I managed to get through a game like Subnautica. I almost drowned irl, so going into this really deep ocean with huge screaming creatures was difficult for me. But I ended up enjoying the game once I learned where everything was and how to get around it. That's a pretty tame game compared to legit full on horror games though. Maybe I need to take it in small steps.

After last year, I don't care. Divinity Original Sin 2 blew me away. I've been gaming for 19 years so that's hard to do. I played at least 80% of the GOTY contenders, and it was a clear winner to me. But due to its lack of popularity compared to the other contenders, it almost wasn't even a blip on the map. I can't take it seriously anymore. Sure, there are good games competing, but you're missing out if it's all you pay attention to.

My mind goes out of control and doesn't seem to care about how illogical it's being. How long do I have to expose myself to this before it stops being terrifying? People talk about a thrill, but it's been nothing but unpleasant for me. I mean, I NEED sleep.
