[Games that could use a follow-so-and-so command?]

I was playing Minecraft online for the first time with a friend, and thought it would be handy if there were a way to automatically follow her around instead of having to do it manually. I don’t think there is? What are some other video games you feel should have a follow command?

[If you have a PS5 (specifically), how do you clean the vents?]

I have a lot of dust in my PS5 vents. These vents are particularly huge, and as a result, I am worried that if I use canned air, it will just push the dust further in. If you have a PS5, how are you cleaning out those big vents without making things worse?

[Quests where the game interprets the result differently than you expected]

What are some quests in games where you were confused and surprised by how the game interpreted your actions/result?

For example, in The Outer Worlds, I tried to do a solution for the Edgewater quest in the beginning that seemed optimal, and that would result in the faction I wanted to have power winning. But the game interpreted my solution differently and actually scolded me afterwards for dashing the dreams of that faction.

 

[References to developers in video games]

I am replaying the Minerva’s Den DLC in BioShock 2, and ran into the name “Brandon Pham” on a piece of paper that was being printed out by a machine. I looked it up and wasn’t surprised to find it was a developer’s name. It made me curious what other references to developer names have been spotted in various video games?

[How much does lazy dungeon design annoy you?]

Sometimes developers cut corners with dungeon design. In the worst cases, they may reuse the same few dungeons again and again with small modifications and/or different items and enemies (looking at you, Dragon Age 2).

When you run into this sort of laziness, does it annoy you a little or a lot?

[Games with surprisingly long DLCs]

What are some games that feature surprisingly long DLCs in relation to their base games? As an example, Minerva’s Den is quite a long DLC in relation to BioShock 2.

[Games that are simultaneously stressful and relaxing?]

Are there any games that make you feel both relaxed and stressed out at the exact same time? So far, this is the impression I get of Minecraft. But maybe the stress part wears off once I figure out what I am doing.

I thought I would start a thread where we can share screenshots of anything cool we have built in any game (Minecraft, No Man’s Sky, etc. etc.).

[Is there no tutorial at all in Minecraft?]

Does Minecraft have absolutely no tutorial? I feel quite lost trying to get started without one. So far, I have largely accomplished dying many times.
