It’s a bummer today of all days; I could really use any distraction. But you don’t cross a picket line, power to the striking workers.

A plug for the other lovely daily games: !dailygames@lemmy.zip

And for my favorite one: https://travle.earth/

You know what, so will I!

I love Ape, and think he’s one of the best devs out there.

I don’t mind paid DLC like Elden Ring or Factorio 2.0, when it’s basically a whole complete game on top of it. But anything micro transaction can go right to hell

I don’t think it’s so cryptic to be impossible to figure out. It is puzzly, I literally had a “now whay?” Moment that was validated by the game echoing my sentiment.

It’s a beautiful and wonderful game with such cool puzzle stuff. Very unique system of the game manual, and difficulty settings to adjust galore if you want to take it down a notch

Update: sorry to be an OP who didn’t deliver. My buddy never made the measurement. I’m hoping he will. Sorry everyone!

A bummer, as I was really liking forward to binging it when it came out, but much better delayed than rushed.

I trust 11bit to deliver a super solid game, even if it takes longer

This is all I found on their site about it, which aligns but isn’t as much detail as I hoped

With standard and heavy duty foil, it’s perfectly fine to place your food on either side so you can decide if you prefer to have the shiny or dull side facing out.

Okay, my buddy is gonna take foil tomorrow and run it over the profilometer (?) tomorrow and see. I’ll report back with more numbers and less hand waving when I have it

It was a fair few years ago, but yeah, the oxidation on it will be so much smoother than the delta in surface roughness that I doubt it’d make much difference. Lemme reach out to a metallurgist from there and see what he thinks!

Correct. Just a manufacturing decision. It looks a lot more different than it actually is.

“Whatever that means!”

Yup, the lab could tell a difference! Shiney side (so mill roller facing, as opposed to the dull side which faces the other layer of aluminum) was marginally more reflective, but I believe (and a former coworker also remembered it as) it was less than a tenth of a percent (<0.1% for the visual folks)

Anyone who says it affects cooking time or something is mistaken, I’d wager.

Former process engineer in an aluminum factory. Aluminum foil is only shiny on one side and duller on the other for process reasons, not for any “turn this part towards baking, etc” reasons.

It’s just easier to double it on itself and machine it to double thickness than it is to hit single thickness precision, especially given how much more tensile strength it gives it.

Also, our QA lab did all kinds of tests on it to settle arguments. The amount of heat reflected/absorbed between the two sides is trivially small. But if you like one side better you should wrap it that way, for sure!

The sequel to the GBA game on DS was met with mixed reviews, but I enjoyed it enough. I’d give it a whirl sometime!

Just played it. It’s indeed short but fun. I enjoyed it enough to wishlist it

Show me the grim dark future of the 41st millennium on the timeline!

I just wanna say that as someone who designs user interfaces for a living, I always do whatever I can to play with UI/UX in my normal life.

At a gas station, playing ads, I always start tapping and holding the little buttons near the screen. Almost always holding 2 across from each other goes into a mode where it shuts up, and continues pumping. Plus it’s like a fun little arms race of a game for me.

Okay, I like physical games and don’t like the whole gamestop meme thing, so I went to Best Buy a few times for games. They didn’t have Pikmin 4 when it came out, and no one there heard of it. I went to Target next door and they had some promo stuff they gave out and the person working the games section was dressed up like Oatchi.

Guess I’ll go to Target for physical releases, not BB.
