LCD, Please (opens in new tab)

> an experimental feature which is disabled by default

Good luck trying to figure out that is the issue if you don't keep it in mind at all times. (No matter how obvious it seems - hindsight will never not be 20/20.)

Random coincidence... This is the second post this has popped up in today. Another frontpage post mentioned this in regard to getting blocked by Cloudflare. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37049016

Yep! Sorry, didn't mean to imply it wouldn't work at all. I'll edit my post if HN still allows me to.

I'll note that apart from a handful of sites where it causes additional checks and occasional breakage (noted them in another comment below), I'm really happy with that setting. I leave it on by default and only have to break out a fingerprinted Firefox profile on rare occasion.

Woah, thank you. I have always set dom.event.contextmenu.enabled to False, which does the job permanently and for every website. But some websites require you to en-/disable it again and this shortcut is a nice little QoL improvement. I wish there was a complete list of "hidden" features like that.

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.

Resist Fingerprinting was enabled. I updated my comment to note that.

Counterpoint: I use Firefox with every privacy setting maximized and several extensions installed, and I can't remember the last time I had an issue with something posted here. This game works fine for me as well.

The only apps that are noticeably worse in Firefox for me are Google Docs and Google Meet.

I think part of the reason nobody tests for it anymore is just because web standards have largely gotten so good. I don't often test in FireFox these days myself largely in part because it just hasn't been a problem in years.

I'm old enough to remember the days when every change I made I had to roll through multiple versions of IE all the way back to 6, and different things would be broken in different versions.

I feel first we need to validate the original premise that there's something wrong with this game in Firefox.

I'm running Firefox, with containers enabled, with ublock origins (and as such "somewhat privacy conscious over and above the defaults"), and this works fine for me.

There could be any number of things that cause an individual issue, which may or may not be related to Firefox itself :-/

The description of how he solved the dithering problem in Obra Dinn is mind blowing, and made me appreciate software as a craft, where you have a problem you chisel at for days on end.

Software as art and personal expression, rather than software as a deadline and meetings with your manager.

Obra Dinn is a fucking masterwork. Love this guy.

The game in a way, is supposed to stress you out, or at the very least, make you feel uncomfortable.

Same. I couldn't get into it. I've heard a lot of good things about it but I think I was expecting more like an interactive story (which I think is an actual genre of "game" now). Instead it's actually hard and I only play games to relax.

Get your orders in early.

I had a similar experience. It's unfortunate since I hear it get praised constantly for being a masterpiece and I am a big fan of puzzle games, but it just would not click for me. I think it's also to do with the nature of the puzzle being kind of abstract (and at times almost subjective since I think multiple answers can potentially be correct for some causes of death). The game tries to handle this with the evidence book that you can refer to, but it's a massive thing that just feels clunky to use due to the sheer size of it.

I played the demo at release (as I'd liked Papers, Please), and it completely failed to grab me—aside from the art style, which seemed to me to be "wasted" on such a dumb gameplay concept.

then I picked it up years later, earlier this year, and was absolutely hooked. I practically couldn't put it down until I finished. one of my top games of all time. a perfect example of how video games, as a medium, can tell stories in ways that other media never could—an excellent counterexample to cutscenes and dialogue trees being the accepted industry standard for storytelling.

I can't even do this aesthetic. Instant massive eye strain.

I'm a little bit the same. The look and feel is wonderful, the idea is great and novel. I just couldn't get that far into it. I think I may have also gotten distracted by the release Elden Ring around the time I started playing it, too.

Careful, you might end up with the return of your Obra Dinner.

I had similar problem. I can't play Borderlands 2, but surprisingly turning off the comic outline effect in that game works. Obra Dinn is a great game, and I have to endure that by playing at the smallest resolution, which somewhat help. Also take frequent breaks, like 1-2 scene then hours of break. It help you think as well as I often found breakthrough by sleeping over the game.

The Case of a Golden Idol is a game in similar genre but in 2D, in case you can't get into this game. I'd say it's not better, but the last level in the main game is quite close to some of the harder puzzle in Obra Dinn.

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

That would be excellent.

It's shipped, the preorder is for the next batch. They sell them in batches.

I recently got an email asking me to confirm my address before... today or so, so the next batch is on its way. I ordered one for my girlfriend, she really digs it, I hope it'll be here before christmas... but not too far before because else I'll have to give it to her sooner :p.

Got mine recently. Nearly an entire year after ordering. It's alright.

Mine arrived a couple weeks ago--two years after I initially ordered it. Their ordering transparency really does leave a lot to be desired.

I saw a guy with one on the train a couple months back. I think a friend got one, too.

I've had mine for over a year.

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