I’m pretty certain it’s an enemy drop I’m thinking of. I think it’s from a fish that allows you to go under water.

Metroidvania games can be pretty good for this sometimes. One that really got me was Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. You have to get an ability to progress at a certain point that is a random drop from an enemy. Any game that relies on RNG for progression is going to make me go running in circles. I love the game, but did not love that part.

Not saying people can’t like doing whatever they like doing. I guess maybe my wording should have been closer to that it’s crazy that people still believe this game is going to see a full release and/or giving money for it. It’s an insane amount of money that has been poured into this game at this point to still be saying there’s no full version available still.

It’s really crazy that people still have interest in this game.

I’d rejoice, but I’ll believe it when I see it happening consistently. I want smaller, denser, and richer worlds. Not giant, sprawling, and barren. It doesn’t add anything to a game for me if I have to walk or drive 10 minutes to get to my next location and it’s just empty in between.

I watched his video doing a walkthrough of the damage yesterday. It’s really sad. Not just his collection of all this stuff that he is so passionate about, but his whole house. So much damage caused by nature. I hope he’s able to get things back to semi-normal soon.

I love Hellblade. That said, it probably isn’t for everyone. It’s very much about the story and the atmosphere. The puzzle solving is kind of unique and the combat gets the job done. It’s a beautiful game game with great storytelling and atmosphere.

I don’t know what these would really be alternatives to, but I impatiently await every new game from Daniel Mullins Games. Inscryption was a fantastic deck builder and I more than got my monies worth out of it. I also follow Stranga Games pretty closely. Very small developer makes story focused retro style adventure games. No combat at all generally. So if you like a casual experience and that style of game, it might be something to look into.

The Resident Evil 2 remake. It’s pretty awesome honestly. I’m actually pretty surprised how good it is. It’s easily my favorite RE game behind the original release of RE4.

I keep a basic log in a notebook. I just log all each game as I complete it. Organized by year I completed it. I started as a way to help me make sure I was doing hobbies I enjoyed.

Awesome. Thanks!
