Circleflick? Circletoss?

 

Sim, arcade, simcade, anything. I'm kinda disconnected from the genre and want to know what is considered the GOATs of racing games to try them out.

Me personally, I'd say Dirt Rally 2, very addicting gameplay.

Do you think humans can never try something new?

 

Right now, I just take 5g creatine about six hours before, preworkout immediately before, and drink a protein mix after my workouts, but I read an article about optimal creatine use ane now I'm wondering what everyone elsr is doing

Great, start with yourself

I don't think it's entirely a double standard. Yes Steam is still a launcher, but it's also the marketplace I buy my games. If I bought a game on Origin or UPlay, and then Steam popped up when I was trying to play my game, that would still be bullshit.

the simplicity and immediacy of you plug something in and it's almost impossible for it not to work

Amigo, what about the unbearable suffering of "the wires only work in this specific position"

For the uninitiated, crouch jumping is a mechanic where you can increase the height of ledges you are able to jump on by holding crouch after jumping, like a simulation of pulling your legs up in real life.

I never really thought much about it growing up, some games had it, some didn't, but it always felt natural/intuitive, and today I feel like it is a way to increase the ceiling of player movement by a simple combination of two existing movements.

However I've heard that some people dislike it, and some actively hate it. Some of the arguments I've heard is that if a player needs to be able to get somewhere, then ledges should be lower and not gated, and that the whole mechanic is useless and just introduces an extra button press for no reason.

I can see the merit in some points, and others I feel like are nitpicky, but I'm interested in broadly knowing how Lemmy feels about it.
