I’m going to be upgrading my GPU next month and I plan on playing control with RT. I did play it on steam deck a while back and I might try again with the update that included HDR out of the box.

Damn, at a glance I would not be able to tell some of these are from a game.

I visited my brother, his wife and then infant daughter with our parents for Christmas some time in the early 2000’s. He had a small flat so it was packed.

We decided of all the Christmas things to do, we’d watch the exorcism of Emily Rose before we all turned in for bed, and because the flat was so packed I had to sleep on the sofa by myself.

No big deal I thought, until after everyone had turned into their respective rooms one of my nieces toys at the bottom of one of her toy bins started singing, completely unprompted and untouched. It finished its song then started making a child laughing noise before starting singing again.

I hid underneath the blanket and cowered praying that whatever caused it to start randomly making noise would go away. It continued on for what seemed like an age before it finally stopped. When I asked my brother and his wife if anything similar had ever happened the next day, they said any toys in the bins are always turned off before being put away so I’m assuming I either fell asleep and dreamt it or it was an extremely unfortunate coincidence, but it was the closest I’ve ever come to fearing the idea of ghosts etc.

First I’ve heard of Artix, thanks for giving me something new to learn about.

I use retrodeck, I’ll keep an eye out for the dependencies though thank you

It’s funny, I haven’t had a switch in years but I regularly think about animal crossing. There’s just a vibe that you can’t get anywhere else, but I do recall getting bored of it when I was actually playing it.

Maybe I’ll figure out how to put it on the steam deck to scratch the itch whenever it does pop up again.

Understood, thank you!

For those who have played Alan wake II, would you say I’d need to play the first to “get it”? The game looks beautiful and I’m curious about it on that alone. I did play control but eventually dropped it.

I just wanted to say I appreciate you doing these. Usually I just lurk but I had the realisation that I’d be pretty sad if these stopped popping up in my feed one day, so thank you.

Same! I’m shocked it’s free considering how high quality it is

“That I found somewhere” is funnier than usual given the context

Gemini’s responses were surprisingly humorous
