Hooray! Time to die horribly!

True. I want a bulky ass phone with more power, more storage, more battery life, and more accessory compatibility. I want a BRICK

It’s not the be~st choice, it’s spacer’s choice!

heh, lemme translate. I lost my save file, so I’m starting over with the key knowledge that fishmen encounters are an effective way to build back up the resources I lost.

Playing the Phantasy Star games for the SMS and the Genesis. I lost my save after getting Noah though and I am big sad. Maybe my friends the affluent Fishmen will help me grind through a bit quicker this time now that I know how great they are for mesetas and xp early on…

i’ve stopped bothering. I saw dredge was free there a little while ago, and that’s a game I want to play. Didn’t even claim it.

lumpytouch actually made those fake game screenshots real? Nice

I’m gonna be booting up Pathologic 2 once my new computer comes in.

its the potato chips of video games. You can even add your own flavors

Dwarf fortress. I am bad at juggling metal and fuel, but I got a set of bronze armor for my soldiers and steel shortswords for every dwarf

and then migrants showed up :)

They’re just making the stadia again???

a few games i pirated earlier in the year, heh, and Pathologic 2, Lunacid (as of a few seconds ago), Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 (to check out the openrct2 mod), dwarf fortress, & Odallus the Dark Call.

Lunacid! I forgot how excited I was for that to come out. Swooping in to snag it now, thanks

I’ve been playing a lot of ZZZ since I haven’t been on my computer for gaming all that much. Can’t recommend it if you can’t stomach gacha mechanics, the energy thing and weekly caps on endgame progression suck. I just enjoyed the main story and the character side stories enough to finish everything and grind up my roster to 50/60.

Wow, really? That shoots it way up on my backlog queue then, I’ve always wanted to play pathologic but 2 games are a bigger ask than just the 1.

finally, it’s time for the Ouya to rise from the ashes and claim its place alongside the switch 2

lol

I still think owlcat is nuts for adapting not one, but two full APs to video game form. Those are each six books worth of TTRPG adventure and those can take years to complete

CDDA: it’s basically an immersive sim with zombies and mutants in an ascii new england. Sprites optional;

Stardew valley: haha ancient fruit wine go brrr;

Morrowind: whiff. whiff. cliff racer screech. the sounds of a wood elf screaming from the heavens and splattering on the pavement;

An SNES emulator: there’s like an entire library to play here;

Poot Dispenser Here!

Eeerectin’ a dispenser!

Sentry going up!

Huh, there’s only like, 4 of these games for me total. TF2’s still a bot-blighted hellscape as far as I know, my skyrim install is broken and the process of fixing it or just re-installing it will require a few days off, WoW is dead to me, and I don’t really play warframe any more… so I guess Warframe wins by doing absolutely nothing!

I’m pretty salty at nintendo for abandoning F-Zero in particular. I need more high speed bumpercars racing in my life

boo

balatro. its kind of flawless.

lol

Oh, that’s heartbreaking.

hey, in souls, a win is a win is a win.

The silent hill wiki folks sure are a rowdy bunch. This one’s pretty tame for them though, it’s decidedly lacking in rants about circumcision.

so whats the point of the article then?

finally, i don’t have to stream from my PC to play the funny card game

Through monstadt, it really does feel like a clone. Though as the game opens up, yeah it does carve out its own identity.

At the beginning before you get any good teammates, your party members are basically just the different BOTW weapons, and their skills are the different shieka slate tools. Kaeya’s your Cryo, Amber’s your Bombs, Noelle’s your hammers, and you need them to get to korok seed stand-ins. Domains are obvious parallels to shieka shrines, but they mostly get abandoned after the prologue chapter as anything other than gear grind spots. Even the grind of ascending characters and their weapons feels like doing great fairy fountain gear grinds.

edit: oh, and you climb and glide around to traverse the massive environment; it’s a surface level feature comparison, but worth mentioning.

The comparison does begin to fall apart when you find out that the meat and potatoes of genshin is the (mostly self contained) main storylines, and once you start unlocking character storylines, it becomes even further distinct. You’re not building up to reunite with your sibling by just picking a direction and exploring (or even just making a mad dash to the cryo nation), you’re sequentially building up and knockign down local threats, only occasionally getting glimpses of the main thread. And of course, the mobile game mechanics that permeate the whole thing after AR 30 or so really pull it further away.

genshin, wholly in spite of its fucked up gacha party system. If it was a normal 60 dollar game with less scope and without the gambling, I’d like it better than BotW.

I actually only like random encounters when I’ve changed up either builds or party members and want to play around with it for a little bit. In that sense, I guess you could say I don’t like random encounters, but rather easily accessible encounters.

what do you mean, ‘pirate yakuza,’ RGG? Is Majima only here because he has an eyepatch? is Nancy going to get a parrot rival? Because if so I’ll buy two copies

How is the bootleg ps5 controller market? I don’t have a ps5 myself but it seems like the obvious answer is to just buy the highest quality off-brand at the better price if you don’t want to pay more.

If they don’t shit the bed somehow, I think TES6 will still be successful. Skyrim was pretty much just the video game equivalent of plain salted potato chips in retrospect. So long as they can at least meet that level of quality doing something they know, I think it’ll do fine. They don’t need to make a masterpiece or anything, modders will just be pleased to have a new prettier medium and a new map to loot plants from.

All of that said, uuurghhh, I have so little excitement for more elder scrolls slop. Bethesda seriously needs a total mixup in leadership and direction for me to get hopeful again.

Yeah I’m thinking the same. The X2 was my pick because I wanted something the size of a DS, but its just a little too big for that. I’ll be picking up a g8 to replace it later since it seems like a better fit for using around the house.

I picked up a Gamesir x2 recently and it really ticks all but one of the boxes for me. It’s a liiiiittle too big to carry around in a pocket, and a liiiittle too small if you’ve got bigger hands, but its still great at what it does.

Well, maybe there’s some truth to that. my phone is basically a Switch when I slide it into a controller. The biggest problem it’s facing is the limited library of non-shitty games and storage space. Once I can store a terabyte on my phone and can link it up to my steam library, I don’t think I’d even consider buying a console again. To me, the only thing a playstation has over a steam deck is its exclusives.

I stopped playing MMORPGs around the Blitzchung incident. FF14 didn’t hook me the same way WoW did, and Warframe isn’t really an RPG, but it did end up filling the space.
