aww we hugged it to death

It’s been in development for 15 years. Duke Nukem whatever was only in dev hell for 14. Y’all ever gonna admit you got scammed?

it’s not like the cartridge age and they’re burying them in the new mexico desert or something

do you have access to a console? can you rent games from the library? put in a hold for clair obscur at the library now, buy baldurs gate now. buy clair obscur later. I have been listening to the music from clair obscur even when not playing it’s so good. bg3 is good, but i’ve gotten distracted from it more than a few times. it has more replay value, but clair obscur is going up there in my top 5 of all time. bg3 is top 10, but not top 5.

yeah, i still only buy whatever i’m going to play right then.

and they’re going to prove the same point stardew did, by selling multiple copies to the same people on different platforms and blowing any sales projections they might have made out of the water, that video games right now are ridiculously overpriced.

old blues (think big mama thornton and lead belly), mountain goats and “similar” indieish bands, some easier jazz, those tend to be my casual listening. i’m currently working through the collection of LPs i inherited which has a lot of Boz Scaggs and some original Beatles pressings and stuff like that, got this great classical collection of Soviet classical composers another close friend and former coworker gave to us when she heard we got a record player that she got from her mom that her mom got from a Beach Boy she was friends with I’ve been asked not to name and it’s an amazing collection.

My NEED TO LISTEN TO pile is taller than my NEED TO READ pile it’s a little embarrassing.

so i’ll admit it’s not the genre i’m typically listening to or playing in, but it was fun. without getting technical because i’m not sure how to communicate this technically, i enjoyed the energy coming off the music. i got pumped up. i liked it.

ooooo. this all you or are you collaborating with other folk?

BSG still means Beets and Bears to me

edit: and i just dropped the Beets

i saw one mod that had a digging in the trash skill i thought was pretty neat. i mostly play on console though so <shrugs>

i guess you haven’t experienced capitalized Hunger yet then. like, not eating for two months hunger. trust me, it’s an emotion as well as a physical response.

Oh god you guys, this better be freakin important

I was going to buy my wife the latest Lara Croft trilogy for Christmas a few years ago and then epic gave it to me for free so I had to actually think about her gift

Tell me this doesn’t uh evoke or invoke, maybe invoice I dunno anymore, an emotional response

Did you do the pointing at the screen thing when you fought Clair Obscur too?

omg i just got to the point where maelle’s hair did the thing and i just about died. i’m going to have to buy this one, i got it from my local library.

which emotional extremes? happiness? joy? fear? sadness? terror? hunger? beautiful food? lust? lust for the beautiful food? i got a lot of emotions just right now lets be real, there’s more than two.

beat me to it. That one was a lot of fun. It’s almost halloween, I should play it again.

i mean, i don’t like pirating. i get a shitton of “free” (okay, minimal cost tax-subsidized if you want to pedant. probably a dollar a month that I’m gladly paying anyways) games from the library. i buy maybe one game a year.

tariffs and inflations dude. tariffs and inflation

dammit i will make that trip up to the pie shop and let y’all know how it is in a few months okay

i won’t play it unless there are verification cans you drink for spell slots

dr mario was a tetris ripoff

wait, they made a portmanteau of bonanza and banana? HA! I have to play this game

Misses? There’s good discussion underneath. That’s what makes a good comment.

Most people look fondly on the last time they were truly healthy and energetic. Some people, early in their 50s, some people their early childhood, some people don’t have it.

we’re talking about hats sir

i’ll be real, i avoided 4chan for that reason. i got enough nazis at home.

trust me it’s real easy to OD. try easier metals like aluminium foil before you work yourself all the way up to tin

yesss the game i played in college yesss i was born that year i feel better now jesus fuck.

shut up shut up shut up i am still 27

i haven’t played it. I don’t know what I’m supposed to be looking for. all i see is pretty.

Right? The graphic choice tells me what I’m getting, and they somehow made it pretty. There could be more signs telling me to play it, but I don’t really need them.

in 95 there were a lot of crappy ascii art games bcz there wasn’t anything better technologically

i mean i still have my old 3.5 and 5.25 floppy collection of sierra games published in DOS, pre-windows (since you obviously weren’t around then), that doesn’t use any ascii art. you’re the one throwing out wild anachronisms to make a point you don’t have.

okay i hadn’t played it yet. you had me worried it was

kinda lookin bullshit. i’m not a graphics snob but i can’t go back to that. here’s caves of qud


it’s fucking gorgeous if you ask me, but i’ve just seen screenshots and art is subjective

was it with a kid? then no one cares

I liked the story of the first one better (i’ve got some nostalgia goggles on it tho) and the mechanics of the second one better, but loved them both.

I… probably need to stop buying and picking up games

my library helped me save a shitton of money. i got a hold in for clair obscur expedition 33 right now. two people ahead of me.

Nice Fucking Tacos? Me too friend, me too
