Cassette Beasts is a creature collector with a substantial single-player campaign and a permadeath difficulty option.

You could also have permadeath as a house rule, which would let you play singleplayer games with traditional campaigns. For example, you could play Elden Ring or Borderlands 2 and commit to deleting the character upon death.

A weird suggestion: Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes is a co-op puzzle game about defusing a bomb. The player who’s streaming will have the bomb but stream only audio, not video, and everyone else will have to use the defusal manual to guide them to safely disarm the bomb. You’ll have to advance level by level.

You want us to sell fewer controllers?!

I clicked on this post because of the jazz in jazzstronauts.

There actually is something that could be called jazz, but you’ll have to finish the entire story for that.

How did you get all the images at once, upload beforehand (whether to Lemmy or somewhere else offsite) and that is how you have a link? Repeated editing so Lemmy accepts each new image upload?

I actually published a mini-site on yay.boo containing this post and all of the media. The pictures in this Lemmy post are hotlinked from yay.boo. The video is hotlinked from Imgur because yay.boo did not like it when I did that. In my previous posts, I did directly upload everything to sh.itjust.works, but I wanted to try a different way this time.

For my previous posts, like this one on Gunfire Reborn, I went to the “Create a post” form and used the “upload picture” button on the toolbar of the main body text field.

I have actually been playing multiple cat-themed games in recent months but have been too lazy/busy to bother writing about them.

Will you be waiting at the finish line to cheer for the 365th?

You’re buyer!

I was really impressed with the demo during a Steam Next Fest last year.

On top of the games already mentioned, here are my recommendations.

First, I must mention:

• Crosscountry Canada (1991)

Quebec City

• Just Shapes & Beats — rhythm bullet hell with lots of EDM

Montreal

• Ultimate Chicken Horse — build your own platformer level and race your friends
• N++ — platformer focused on momentum and agility
• Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided — cyberpunk stealth and action

Ottawa

• Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes — defuse a bomb while your friends read the defusal manual

Toronto

• Super Time Force Ultra — side-scrolling shooter with time manipulation
• A Short Hike — a short, open-world hike

Vancouver

• Beastieball (in early access) — creature collecting with turn-based volleyball
• Crypt of the NecroDancer — rhythm roguelike
• Rift of the NecroDancer — “guitar-like” rhythm
• Inscryption — spooky card game… at first

I don’t even remember what led me to this, but watching the Amazing Race has been my latest guilty pleasure. The Amazing Race Canada, too. TAR still has all the super-dramatic reality TV editing and music but is way less focused on interpersonal conflict. It’s the places and tasks that make it interesting.

Compared to the US show, the Canadian show is way lower budget and milder in vibes, but the Canadian host is way more enthusiastic. He actually does the challenges while explaining them.

Fantastic movie that deserves its Golden Globe

Denuvo. Shame.

I’d say it’s a step more “serious racing” than Kart. Transformed had more complex drifting and boosting mechanics to emphasize good racing skills. There are still powerups, but they’re relatively weak. The closest blue shell equivalent is the swarm, which summons a swarm of giant wasps to sit in front of the race leader, but it’s always dodgeable with good steering. The medium-level pickups require good aim or awareness of who’s near you. The Kart strategy of only caring about the last lap is still possible in Transformed, but trying to get ahead as far as possible is also a doable strategy.

Really hoping this can be a worthy successor to Transformed

I’m sure someone at Valve also had fond memories of that toilet.

Amazingly, I played this game when it came out and discovered it has Steam Controller binds out of the box!

At this point, the fact that Portal is in the Half-Life universe is just a fluke. The plots of Portal 2 singleplayer, co-op, and PTI are very “distant” from anything happening with Half-Life. The two series are tonally very mismatched. Their strongest connection is that Aperture bumbled their way into possessing Half-Life plot-critical stuff and then losing the boat that contained it.

Free tech tip: https://cht.sh/ serves practical, usage-focused help on common command-line tasks. You can visit the website, or even better, curl for what you want.

$ curl cht.sh/touch

gets you this:

 cheat:touch 
# To change a file's modification time:
touch -d <time> <file>
touch -d 12am <file>
touch -d "yesterday 6am" <file>
touch -d "2 days ago 10:00" <file>
touch -d "tomorrow 04:00" <file>

# To put the timestamp of a file on another:
touch -r <refrence-file> <target-file>

Append with ~ and a word to show only help containing that word:

$ curl cht.sh/zstd~compress

Result:

 tldr:zstd 
# zstd
# Compress or decompress files with Zstandard compression.
# More information: <https://github.com/facebook/zstd>.

# Decompress a file:
zstd -d path/to/file.zst

# Decompress to `stdout`:
zstd -dc path/to/file.zst

# Compress a file specifying the compression level, where 1=fastest, 19=slowest and 3=default:
zstd -level path/to/file

# Unlock higher compression levels (up to 22) using more memory (both for compression and decompression):
zstd --ultra -level path/to/file

Now I’m curious why it hit general release at 3.2.

I’ve always thought it was funny that panic has an exclamation mark in Rust. Among all the macros, it’s the most fun one to yell.

It would be more concerning if it wasn’t.
