3·2 years agoI love this app. It’s got like 3 dozen different games, all of which you can scale in difficulty, and works great offline. It is my go to bathroom diversion.

5·2 years agoOri and the Will of the Wisps has some great emotional moments that are complemented by a fantastic soundtrack. Learning about Shriek’s backstory after being hunted by her the entire game was just too much.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you walk the line between not wanting to impose on the host and understanding they want the space to show their hospitality?
13·3 years agoWhen accepting a favor would impose a financial burden, I usually push back twice and then relent. (1) “Are you sure, I can absolutely get this?” (2)“It’s really not a problem, I don’t mind paying.” If they’re still insisting at this point, I’ll pack down, especially if it’s obvious they’re trying to do a nice thing.
I used to be more reluctant to accept that sort of help from folks, but there’s a quote from the Thomas Covenant series that goes something like “in accepting the gift, one honors the giver.” It’s kinda stuck with me since I read it; let people give you gifts, it makes them feel good. Graciously accept, and think about how to pay it forward/back.

I’m actually very proud if this one. I made a Kenku warlock for a one shot whose background was that he had previously been an actor in a traveling troupe that performed “The Great Wars of the Astral Plane.” Being a Kenku, he only spoke in quotes from the play, which he mimicked perfectly.
For the entire night, I only communicated via Star Wars soundboard. It was glorious.
His name? Ujheddye the Fourth. “I am Uhjeddye (a jedi)…like my father before me.”
