Reply to is gone home still good? by toasthaste
my Gone Home love was largely a result of it being so disappointed with Bioshock Infinite and driven so insane by how much that game was adored, that I was utterly transfixed by a game that had all the immersive sim stuff that seemed to be leaving the genre while also being a story about the gays that I connected to. it's so much less fresh now, and its flaws easier to see. the dimensions of the house are complete nonsense and not in a cool way, the game is kind of devoid of style, lots of what it's about is shallow.
but yeah, these days we're four Arkane games deep, Firewatch happened, NITW and Disco Elysium happened, every game has gays and it's cool to hate Bioshock Infinite. not even getting into the Steve Gaynor stuff, we don't need gone home lol

homestuck is a webcomic that grew out of a forum game where someone would draw a starting panel, someone would suggest the next thing that happens, and if the artist liked it they would draw that panel. andrew hussie already did this once with a detective style comic called problem sluth, that grew increasingly out of control into like, magic and space monsters and shit. homestuck started out as the same idea but about cartoon teenagers who have to solve adventure game puzzles to figure out the mystery of what happened to their world and stuff.
hussie eventually stopped taking suggestions and just wrote what he liked, which became increasingly convoluted. you basically can't follow it without checking the wiki over and over. he kept the spirit of audience participation by basically building a little group of fans who would produce work for him to put into the comic (one of these people is toby fox). this eventually ended up with dozens of people working on this increasingly profitable comic enterprise for free, and gave hussie a big ego that resulted in a lot of pretty big issues when he tried to develop games based on the concept, like a ton of miscommunication and delays and thrown out work etc.
but yeah the thing that attracted people to homestuck is that it's about teenagers talking to their friends online about silly crap, which meant teenagers who talked to their friends online about silly crap would talk about homestuck, and make homestuck fan stuff, and then eventually work on official homestuck stuff. it created its own little world and it sucks that it's kind of been in limbo because the creator couldn't manage the beast he created

it's some security stuff, that you might be able to fix with like a dongle or something if you really wanted to down the line. it also makes the developers happy to not have to support older hardware. and of course it's to push people to buy a new laptop lol

no, there's too many bugs, but in like two years it'll be an easy recommendation. the settings app is much nicer, it fixed some display switching issues I had, and otherwise it works just like 10

Lol, its really more a windows mobile thing. a big part of windows 10 was that you could write apps that would work on windows mobile, xbox, and windows pc at the same time. "universal windows platform". it became clear that no one was going to do this almost immediately, with mobile failing and xbox refocusing on gaming
a big part of why windows 11 exists at all is to remove all the stuff tied to uwp

"tiles" lmao. a slightly useful idea to put information about what's inside an application into a widget that's used to launch it, but never caught on and devolved into ads in the start menu. removed in windows 11 but they'll probably find some other way to advertise to people
