As a programmer who's work setup is on Windows I use command line every day.
There's plenty of fast weapons in the game. The huge range of different playstyles with different builds is a big part of the appeal.
Elden Ring was just a lifeless world that used “open world exploration” to pad the playtime.
This is an ignorant take. It's fine if you didn't like the game but this is just objectively wrong. There's an enormous amount of information to be found exploring the world, it just isn't thrown in your face like most games.
Halo was the first FPS designed to be played on console controllers rather than with mouse and keyboard. That's why it feels like shit and why I hate it.
There's old reports of electric eels killing horses in South America, during river crossings. It looks like there are situations where many eels can end up clumped up together in shallow water or where they've been isolated by flood waters that then recede and the large numbers of them can produce dangerous levels of shock.
In my late 20s I had just started my first real job as a programmer at a small company of about 10 people, I was kinda shy and hadn't talked to people much. One day a woman was talking about her trip to New York and how there was this famous hotdog stand near the statue of liberty and how the seagulls just terrorised her and people buying hotdogs, swooping in to steal the sausages right out of your hands.
People were laughing and chatting about it and I joined in by wondering out loud if you could put a mannequin on a bench there and put hotdog meat in its eyesockets and teach seagulls to think that human eyeballs were made of hotdog.
The room went completely silent.
I'm now married to the secretary from that job. This was the first thing she remembers ever hearing me say.
DCC is the opposite of weird fiction, it is incredibly formulaic and tropey.
The science in Permutation City is truly mind-warping, if you really try to wrap your head around it. One of my favourite books.
Egan's short story collection Axiomatic is full of heavy concept scifi in a similar vein to it.
It's a great novel but I wouldn't call it "weird"?
The Vorrh by Brian Catling. Very strange, dark historical fantasy set in colonial Africa. Exquisite, poetic prose and powerful imagery, one of my favourite books in recent memory.
You're literally a warrior in every game. In BB you're a hunter. In the other games the classes are all warriors of some kind.
