The adage that helps me the most is that children are the most annoying with those they love/trust the most, because the feeling of safety lets them explore boundaries to the absolute limit. OF course since those limits are then yours, that's not very pleasant.

There's a big ol' thread over here https://www.idlethumbs.net/forums/topic/8934-hearthstone-because-what-magic-really-needed-was-f2p-mechanics I'm always up for a game, my battle.net thingy is in the collected ID thread.

Congratulations! I was extremely happy to read this book when I got my first. A lot of common sense, but also a lot of somewhat counter-intuitive things, mostly backed by research.

At the moment for me it's - Hearthstone arenas/tavern brawl - Destiny - Heroes of the Storm dailies - Crypt of the Necrodancer (occasionally) I'm feeling quite low-energy at the moment though so the vast majority of my game-related time at the moment is actually spent on twitch looking at others play games. Kind of sad.

This is the dumbest derail. If TB cares so much about unlocked FPS the curation list should index those games. A curation list purely for negativity sucks, and especially with his known shithead followers he should be a lot more careful than he is.

Be warned, I thought a MUD would be a cool thing to practice scripting during my first year in uni and it (along with IRC) ended up eating most of my time & cost me a bunch of grades/subjects

It's ludicrous either way but I'm in camp tberton here. Things like

That really does look fascinating. If I had to describe it I'd say something like "a mix of dark souls and third-person shooter, focusing on combat, mainly dodging and responding" - I'd probably also say something about the aesthetic, I dig the battlezone look.

I get a cramp from the ps4 controller when I play Destiny. I think it's because I'm using the left trigger more than any game.

There's a toggle switch in the top-left. Your game sounds very intersting, I'd like to see it.

I don't think anyone is arguing that using a controller doesn't take skill; quite the opposite if anything.

BSG was a big hit in my playgroup for a brief period but it also faded away quickly because a significant portion found it both too stressy and too boring. There's a large amount of rules/component fiddling, there's a traitor mechanic, there's unwinnable and unlosable situations - just too many things most of us don't like. I'll say in its favour that it definitely does replicate the feeling of despair/tension well at times. That's not really something I'm too interested in feeling from a game though.

Ridiculous literally means worthy of being laughed at, which I did at least the first couple of times I saw it. I dunno. I think the Literal Cannibal Shia song primed me to find things with him enjoyable. I've got that problem with funniest home videos style people hurting themselves, I just go ouch instead of laughing. e: also screw IRC, timezones plus no archive means no asynchronous enjoyment. Selfish!

Oh, bravo!

As I believe it says in Pronouns 3:14...

I played through this with my wife in two sittings. We loved the experience of piecing together the puzzle but were as down on the plot as most people. Also the existence of a 100% experience without a non-tedious way to actually get all the clips was a big sting in the tail. I greatly hope that this concept is done again, but with a better writer.

I tend to violently dislike console shooters and Destiny feels OK. The demo's what roped me in.

Exactly, thank you. Sorry to be so vague.

I'm pretty convinced we would have managed with some more practice - good times either way & cool to hear you got it down!

I know that modern pickup raids in WoW are about that time. It scales a lot with difficulty though.

I'm so sad that terrible Tom Cruise vehicle basically ruined the expansion for me :/

I don't have a name for it, but I used to do it with friends with Kermit the frog and Paulus de Boskabouter. In Dutch so it won't really translate.

For what it's worth, the punk stuff to me was entirely secondary to the point (but I loathe punk anyway so what do I know).

Are you trying to imply the rest of us weren't?

Congrats Jon! I couldn't log in all evening yesterday due to PSN issues, which ended up irritating me a lot more than I expected. This game is good at getting you to want to play it.
