slither.io 🐍 Become the longest snek in the multiplayer pit by tripping up other players and feasting on the dead – until the inevitable moment when the same happens to you. Nothing like thinking you’re the very biggest, only to discover you’ve slowly been completely encircled by a much, much bigger snake and no amount of coiling is going to change the outcome.

Such a beautiful game but I couldn’t stand being on edge the whole time. I’m stressed enough as it is.

Playing on the Nintendo Switch was an interesting experience, with a rendering distance so short that by the time anything dangerous pops into view it’s already too late.

I visited that island way too early in the game

This is excellent. Thank you! I genuinely didn’t get it until reading your reply. In fact, I was thinking of posting a meme along the lines of ‘I don’t understand how the microblog feature works and at this point I’m too afraid to ask’. No need anymore.

Now all I DO need is a way to save/bookmark posts for future reference.

Kind of discouraging to be downvoted for sharing a differing opinion. Surely, other people’s preferences merit consideration too?

Just my two cents: I prefer the way it is. The Hacker News way always trips me up, especially when switching from Apollo – where post titles link to the post. I realize how bad this is going to sound, but the OP and the comments are what I’m here for. I judge whether the linked content is worth visiting based on the comments, so that’s where I prefer to start.

Recently discovered Urbek City Builder. It’s similar to Islanders and Dorfromantik except there’s an auto-upgrade mechanic where building tiles respond to changes in neighboring tiles. It creates a wonderful feeling of emergent behavior where putting down a single new tile creates beautiful ripple effects. The experience on the Nintendo Switch is decent but I’ll probably be buying it again for PC shortly

Huge fan of the Kingdom series. Still deciding whether to get this (for the Switch). How would you rank it against previous installments? Is it a ‘haha they put Stranger Things in my Two Crowns’ kind of novelty (which no doubt wears off soon), or does it feel like something that’s as explorable through replay as previously?

For All Mankind and Foundation's are both incredible. Didn't skip them once. Someone over at Apple TV really cares about strong openings.

Taking a page out of OpenAI’s book, I see

On iOS, press the ‘share’ button (box with an arrow coming out the top) and look for ‘add to home screen +’
