Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it’s even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!

Also tea people should check out [email protected]! The only tea community I’m aware of on lemmy. Though it’s super inactive right now; I should probably contribute…

Yeah I drink tea, now what am I supposed to believe in?

Tristan Newcomb? I get all my gaming news from him. His Donkey Kong Country review is great.

Even better!

Make it extra crust with pieces of crust as a topping and it’ll be perfect.

I don’t know if you were around for the launch, but it was a pretty infamously bad because practically none of the promised features were present. Landing on asteroids, fighting space stations, significant factions, big space battles, sand/water planets, complex crafting, creatures affecting the environment, etc.

I think Hello Games has done a great job turning things around, and shown that they do respect their players, but the launch was definitely a disaster.

I just started using it casually, I mostly follow art stuff. Here’s a few of my favorites:

• enchantedbook - illustrations from old books, often folk tales
• pintoras - women painters, usually traditional art
• weirdzoology - weird zoology
• cazadoradehonguitos - mushroom photography (hasn’t posted in a month though)

Ohhh it’s connect four without gravity! I thought it was baduk and was wondering why they’d be mad when they’re going to win, but then I remembered you don’t place the stones in the squares.

Warframe. Always coming back to Warframe. It’s just too fun making my murdermachines look pretty, and there’s always something new to work toward. The game also runs incredibly well for how good it looks and how much is going on at once, I should NOT be able to run it at max settings 4k at 60fps with a mid-range gaming PC.
Plus it’s really fun getting those big red damage numbers on enemies with the right builds, and I still haven’t played another game with a movement system as fun as this one.

I’ve also been having fun with Armored Core VI, minus the out of place bosses. They definitely just put them in to be like “Look! We have the FromSoft™ bosses!” I ended up making a cheese build to effectively skip them. The actual mech combat parts are really fun though, and I love trying all the different kinds of loadouts! Runs well on a Steam Deck too which is always good.

Awesome! The AI summarizer is very useful, and it gives quality search results from my experience with the free trial. $10 a month still seems a little high for a search engine, though I’m definitely eyeing it more now…

Hopefully we see more competition in the future with paid search engines, this seems to be new territory where everyone is still pretty unsure of the right pricing. I think $5 a month is going to be the sweet spot for me.

I hate that it gets dismissed as just being cosmetic. I love making cool looking characters in games, it’s really fun and is part of the content for me, especially if it’s multiplayer.

Magic Wand - 48 reviews.

This person makes some weird games, most of them free. Just check out their beautiful website!

This is a trippy isometric RPG, takes maybe an hour to finish, and plays like a total fever dream. It was weird and mostly didn’t make sense and I loved it. I think it’s all told out of order too.

I found this developer sometime last year and just really enjoy their general philosophy on making games.

If you don’t know what a videogame is or what they’re supposed to do with one that’s cool, nobody else does either. Chew up garbage media and use the mulch to make cool hives to store the tiny, stupid things you care about

Maybe Tetris? Such a simple concept, and it’s one of the most popular games of all time.

Minecraft for similar reasons. Even if it has become more complex in recent years, the core of it is just…you can break everything and build anything. It’s hard to say that isn’t a perfect sandbox.

More personal opinion though, maybe Super Mario Odyssey.

If you see sugar kiss/origami/orange candy melon I recommend any of those! Melons are in season right now where I am, and those three are pretty much the best. Honeydew or sliced kiwi make a nice color break too! Then throw in some blueberries and you’ve got a rainbow!

You got it!

Yeah!

Nanaaaaa nanananana na naa na

Animal Crossing! (DOOM?)

We need a c/reddit/r/tumblr, it is the only way.

Warframe is a nice one, at least once you’re past the initial learning curve. I’m at the point where I can just zone out and play casually, no need to farm much of anything. There’s so much content, so many weapons and frames to unlock, that once you’re in the endgame you can really just jump around and passively collect stuff. Plus making your character look cool is something I enjoy doing in games, I can just spend an hour messing with loadouts like that.

Old arcade are always fun too. And Kirby’s Pinball Land on my GBC. There’s definitely a charm to a lot of them, lots of unique choices being made before things got a little more standardized within each genre.
