Agreed. There was a fantastic time for mobile games before things went downhill.
I have a strong memory of being in an apple store, finding a display iPad, and becoming enraptured by Plants vs Zombies. I would eventually get my own and put dozens and dozens of hours into the game.
Then EA took it over and turned it into trash.
I feel like I could have some fun with a remake of Descent 1 and 2.
+1 for sea of thieves.
Yes, this! I rarely ask for permission on that sort of thing. I’ll just do it as part of my work and see if anyone calls me out on it.
Fair point, appreciate the clarification!
This is true. I know I’ve gone through a few gasket replacements myself. I can tell it’s starting to fail when the pressure starts to feel weirdly weak and too easy to press down on.
I love my aeropress, but this seems highly unnecessary to me. I think it’s great that I’ve had the old one for over a decade, I can chuck it in the sink or a drawer and it’s practically indestructible.
I can’t say I’ve ever once noticed my cup being cold after pressing so claims about heat loss feel suspect.
I suppose if you just want the same experience but to feel fancier while doing so and you have cash to spend on it, then go right ahead.
Heck I still chuckle when I am reminded of the aeropress XL. If folks aren’t aware the aeropress company was mostly bought out a few years back which may explain the recent burst in new fangled products.
I had a bad feeling when I saw another developer had picked it up. This sounds worse than I imagined.
Oh that’s very interesting! I will keep this in mind as something to try.
You got the answer right there, it’s cross play. When you have child in the family who wants to play Minecraft on their iPad, and a parent who would like to join in on their Mac, you just can’t do it. And that stinks.
It also feels like relatively low-hanging fruit from a development perspective.
At this price I’m so glad I decided to go for a slim instead of holding out for the pro. Absolutely no way.
I still want to see bedrock on the mac. 😔
I loved Control, but I’m feeling kinda meh about a TV show. If it does happen I’ll keep an open mind and check it out.
Absolutely looking forward to Control 2 however.
Agreeing with all these comments. The game started off really strong in my opinion, but it falls flat very hard after a certain point. Both from a writing perspective and in the combat variety.
The interrupts were interesting to me because I hadn’t seen a mechanic quite like that before. But I suppose it’s true that once you see an enemy charging up there is essentially just one “correct” choice to make, which limits what choices you actually have and puts you on a rail.
Sooooo many moonerangs. That was a big complaint of mine as well. The combat doesn’t really evolve much.
Hmmm maybe I should revisit this game. I got about 3/4 of the way and kinda ran out of steam on it.
I asked and answered a small handful of questions in the mid 20-teens but not really much since. I still wind up finding good answers there on a semi regular basis, though.
I just looked in my profile and my last question was in 2017. I received a holier than thou “what you’re trying to do is wrong” type of response and finally solved it with the help of a coworker who actually cared.
I second rustlings, it’s really good!

Was curious what combat 2.0 meant.
This feels like a good change. I always felt like combos didn’t get much use outside of boss fights due to them resetting every battle. I’m not sure this entirely fixes the other problem wherein I almost exclusively used Mending Light, however.
