  • I suppose, but it’s not a side effect that happens to everyone, so if you get dizzy smoking weed and you do it regularly then you should probably check with a doctor to be safe anyhow, it’s not really an intended effect.

    Edit: I’m specifically saying light headedness dizzy like OP describes. There are a myriad of crazy feelings you might have if you don’t consume weed regularly, but if you do and you’re getting light headed I still think that’s potentially dangerous and not something that’s “supposed” to happen, regardless of the variety of things that might happen to a first time or very occasional smoker. Suppose I should’ve clarified







  • Rain World is a sidescrolling platformer in which you play a small rodent who must survive on a planet of other life forms pelted with recurring lethally powerful downpours of rain. You must learn to control your creature (who moves with dynamic physics, along with all other creatures), and learn to interact with and hunt the various other creatures (who have varied and intelligent AI and are not necessarily hostile) in order to gain food to sustain you through the next rain cycle.

    Through all of this you explore a large interconnected world of different areas that show a background lore of a world that previously inhabited intelligent industrial beings (who have vanished) and uncover the mysteries within and find others of your kind.

    That was as succint as I could make it to show off the unique qualities of Rain World. Its visual style is beautiful, its gameplay has a moderate learning curve due to the physics, and the AI of the creatures are successful in creating a dynamic ecosystem wherein the player feels like they’re a small incidental piece of a world that has its own goals and behaviors that the player must learn to fit in with and work within.





  • I play on PC so it’s hard to say how that stuff feels comparatively. Can you move and use stratagems at the same time?! For me, WASD is both my movement and the stratagems, so if I press CTRL to pull up the menu I can’t walk anymore.

    And yeah, different guns have different aim speeds to balance them. That’s where you may find the machine gun too unwieldy and want to try the stalwart LMG instead

    Edit: by default on PC stratagems are done with WASD like the first game, and I just stuck with that. If I rebind to arrow keys then I can move and input stratagems at the same time, but I’ll have to relearn all my Helldivers 1 muscle memory haha





  • Night Dive should’ve been given some of these old Lucas Arts SW games. These were my childhood, and I’ve watched as Aspyr has been assigned game after game of my childhood to be released on modern platforms, and time and time again they either don’t give enough of a shit to do anything more than get them running (sometimes barely that, Republic Commando runs worse on a switch than an original Xbox), or they’re not given the proper time or financial budget to pull it off.

    It’s a crime.
