I actually want to have someone try the shelving bit to see just how bad of an idea it is

It’s all good.

I did wonder if the article was AI generated, everything just seemed absolutely idiotic.

I don’t actually agree with this list, I just saw it pop up in my Google feed and wanted a discussion around it. I didn’t realize people would have this visceral of a reaction to it.

Not quite “time loop”, but related: Return of the Obra Dinn. I need the developer to make another game with exactly the same mechanics.

Maybe? I mostly mean the reaction time is slow: attacking with your character requires a build up, vs most other games in the genre (Hollow Knight, Ori) that feel more responsive.

It’s fun, but I found the combat to be slower than most Metroidvanias

This is Steam Deck 1.5. They’ve said Steam Deck 2 won’t be for another couple years.

Let me get this straight. Valve decides to break into a market with a niche product few people have purchased from other vendors in the past (GPD, Aya, etc), says “we want this to be affordable and just work”, releases a 1.0 to test the waters, and you think their initial device should have had OLED?

I can see why you don’t run any companies.

That I’ve only played 60% of my 750 games
