[EDIT] If anyone is wondering why it is rendering poorly in Firefox with Resist Fingerprinting enabled, that's because this page seems to serve the game from a random CDN on a different host. https://v6p9d9t4.ssl.hwcdn.net/html/8469963/index.html in my case. Because the canvas is attempting to read pixels, which can be used for fingerprinting, Firefox is blocking this. But because it is being done in an iframe, there…

>Oh, you can also allow canvas fingerprinting, but that seems like a bad idea - maybe in a separate firefox profile just for sites like this one.. No it won't help. That is big problem with finger printing. It basically logs your computer hardward with the profile. So no matter how many times you make new profiles. This can be mitigated via VM. However with bugs such as zenbleed, VM may not be enough. Nothing is priv…

I meant, use a dedicated Firefox profile that you only use for a small handful of websites where you don't want Resist Fingerprinting enabled, and your regular profile for the 99.99% of other sites. You can run both at once even.

My first thought was literally 0 "Papers, Please" came out ten years ago!?

Oh no, I thought we were old because we recognized LCD games, not because we recognized "Papers, Please." Now I feel so much older!

Said Jorji, of all people.

It sucks. Have mine for about a year, barely touch it.

What didn't you like about it?

Hard to see the screen. Crank isn't nearly as fun as it sounds. Games are simple, which is good, but then often cost $10, which is a lot for what you get.

I'm hoping he shadow drops a new game any day now.

He recently made one for that weird console with the crank, so we might have to wait a few more years I'm afraid.

For the Playdate? It's not out yet.

It is not hard but requires you to use the brain a bit. An interactive game should not be like watching Netflix. I don't play games if I'm tired, but maybe because I do not like games with no challenge whatsoever. If you like a story, then this has been approved by Pope himself: https://youtu.be/YFHHGETsxkE

I guess the thing is it's not fun either. I like games like Half-life 2, on easy mode. It's fun and a challenge, but doesn't become annoying such that I can't enjoy the story.

I'm with you. I already have hard challenges that I sometimes fail at, IRL; gaming is supposed to be an escape.

Wait, this thing is STILL in pre-order? When is it actually supposed to ship? I first heard about it when the 1st gen Switch came out, and then silence for years. I assumed it'd come and gone, but it hasn't even actually shipped yet...? Are people still expecting it to, or is it considered vaporware by this point?

I've had mine for over a year.

What do you think of it so far?
