7 d. ago Bernband’s alien landscape is the perfect place for digital wandering – just don’t expect a map

With distinct, discrete areas that you can visit at any time, this is not a traditional open world adventure, and it resists gamification with the mantra ‘there’s no goal but to stroll’Here is poetry in the form of a game description. Bernband is “a sci-fi exploration game for people who like to wander ”. Players will be able to simply walk around a colourful and unusual world, wandering in the glow cast by streetlights and ducking beneath zigzagging overhead flags. They’ll tour hallways where strange green life grows politely in planters, and they’ll even get the chance to snooze on rattling otherworldly subway trains while hand grips – tentacle grips? – jiggle as they hang overhead. “There’s no goal but to stroll,” the game’s Steam page promises. “Where will your feet take you?”There’s something intoxicating about a game that just lets you wander. But it doesn’t mean the game itself is easy to make, of course. “Wandering [as] the main goal is quite difficult for many reasons,” say...

9 d. ago My wife has had more than 50 sexual partners – so why won’t she sleep with me?

After 12 years together, she told me how many people she had slept with before we met. It has made it harder for me to accept how rarely we have sexI’ve been with my wife for 12 years. She recently admitted she has had many more sexual partners than me, more than 50 for sure, but it could be 100. She has only had a couple of long-term relationships. I didn’t think the number bothered me: I didn’t know her then, it was before we got together and we can’t change the past. However, we hardly ever have sex (only once every three to four months) and her sex drive dropped off a cliff after our first child was born almost 10 years ago. She says it’s the stress of children but I can’t help feeling she just doesn’t find me attractive any more. Rightly or wrongly, I now feel upset that she was willing to have sex with so many people before me but doesn’t want to have sex with me.When a partner’s libido drops, it is very common for the other to assume that the partner no longer feels the same ...
