Firewatch has been on the periphery of my attention for a while. I’ve heard generally good things about it, but it didn’t actually pique my interest until Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe

I figured if it was good enough for the Stanley Parable devs to feel it was worth referencing, it must have been an indie gem that I was sleeping on. I was wrong.

Firewatch was a recent purchase for me which I mildly regret.

As a walking simulator it’s wholly dependent on the quality of its story, and the quality just isn’t there. It starts strong but the ending is rushed and without a coherent resolution. It does so much work to set up multiple dramatic mysteries and then haphazardly solves half of them out of nowhere and forgets the rest in the final scramble to finish.

Nice graphics. Great voice acting. Neat concept. Needed more time to cook and left me feeling like I wasted my time getting invested in the story.

A recent release? Diablo 4 I guess. I don’t really regret it since I knew what I was in for. I bought it to play with my best friend, and we had fun together until he got bored and frustrated. My hopes were high but my expectations were minimal and it still barely managed to meet them.

That is a load-bearing “(no explanation necessary)”.

I’d love to see an explanation. How did we get from ‘clowder’ to ‘destruction’? Gaining a syllable and losing alliteration is not a typical linguistic evolution. Who’s actually using this term?

The closest I’ve seen actual examples of is a tongue-in-cheek ‘catastrophe of cats’, and that never went mainstream as far as I’m aware.

Ditto. Clowder of cats is the term I’m familiar with.

“Destruction” of cats is new to me. I don’t think I like it. Doesn’t roll off the tongue well.

The author of this comment has been sacked.

I use it daily for connecting it to my car stereo, and about once a month when I mow my lawn or have to fly on a plane. I’ll never buy a phone without one.

I prefer wired headphones. I don’t want to worry about keeping them charged, and the few pairs of wireless headphones I have tried died or had the buttons stop working after a few uses from getting waterlogged with sweat, while I’ve been using the same pair of $6 wired headphones for 10 years without issues.

I don’t care for Bluetooth or USB audio connections as they don’t always work intuitively, they might take multiple button presses to set up, and every manufacturer seems to think they need to be set up in a slightly different way, while the auxiliary audio cable just works with no setup.

Just above the cast, write on your foot:

FOO

I heard they quietly dropped that as their motto several years ago.

Hidden games hides them from you, in your own library.
