Well, I listen to Shadowheart’s story and since I’m a warlock who pacted with an evil master just because I wanted to do cool tricks, I felt I shouldn’t judge. (Also she is a ride or die goth girl).

Though the frog lady is the best.

“Thank you for coming. It was nice of your friend to help us meet.”

" I was there. I was there 3000 years ago … when Isildur took the Ring. I was there the day the strength of men failed. I led Isildur into the heart of Mount Doom, where the Ring was forged, the one place It could be destroyed! It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. Isildur kept the ring. The line of kings is broken. There’s no strength left in the world of Men. They’re scattered, divided, leaderless."

“…o-kay. Would you like to share some entrées or … Let’s order some drinks first.”

Every character is a DCL. The base game will be like $70. /s

I mean… “scary island” is probably one of the top genres in Japanese horror/mystery fiction. Then again, I guess this is a case of “there’s no bad publicity”.

Being able to filter what works from what doesn’t is a great way of weeding out possible disappointments.

Corollary: All news are old news.

I wish though they were a bit more friendly towards Proton/Wine. Knowing what games are compatible and to what degree before purchasing them would make me happier.

The Yamaha chip (YM2612) really gave it a super grunge sound, perfect for games like Comix Zone. That said, it still felt at home with new age music like Ecco’s.

The fact that we had a synthesizer playing live music is still mesmerizing me.

I hope they make an effort with the soundtrack. For me that was a big highlight on all games (specially Sega CD).

Get your slop 'ere! Fresh from the data center!

Switch Sports was quite bad tbh. I’ll rather play the original Wii game.

Lovely cassette futurism* design.

*Honestly I don’t know what to call it.

I dropped smaller consoles on my face to build up tolerance, so probably I’ll be ok. :)

Question to those that use it: Don’t you get your arms and/or neck tired playing? I only used smaller handheld consoles in the past and I can’t imagine myself holding this around for an hour.

Initially you’ll probably hold a bit to not hurt his feelings, but quickly you’ll start sweating. (That’s my experience)

Maybe I could buy Road Rash?

I wonder what EA IPs have just died right now?

With Subnautica 2 we will get the trifecta.

What about my n-gage?

Honestly, memes right now are the best publicity Valve could get.

Hardened criminals? They are monsters!

A bit off topic but, ew they are wearing shoes in bed.

This reminds me of the CG studios going bankrupt at the same time the movie they worked in incessantly is released.

Is this the final step in enshittification?

He’s like that shitty husband that keeps cheating and getting caught, and keeps saying he has changed.

Cyberpunk 2077, you have to save two of the most incompetent cops that exist. For such a dark and depressing universe, whenever there are hints of humor those always get me.

Me loves litrure too.

Oh so like a remake of the old G-Police or at least in its spirit.

I still play the original so I’m very happy to hear abput this one.

Cryptmaster is both hilarious and fun to play. Maybe the art choices aren’t for everyone, but I did love the old ttrpg illustration style.

Sometimes I will just throw weird words to see if there’s a recording of it.

Wined L lover rides? Got it.

If you’re interested in TR, then also try the Uncharted collection.

Great looking and it plays without hiccups (had a couple of crashes in specific places due to forcing my GPU).

Note though: has a bumpy start but after the first level it is all smooth sailing.

Snatcher and Policenauts would be majorly welcome, though I don’t have high hopes being published by Konami.

Why is it RetroDeck sync a deal breaker? Ok, I checked the demo and understood why.

That’s mostly what I do with new games. Whenever there’s an offer, I ask myself “Am I going to play this for at least one or two hours right now?” If the answer is no, then I don’t buy it.

That’s not the same for local cooplayer games, though I have way enough to fulfill two lifetimes, and recently we’re just playing through the Wii catalog.

(I didn’t want to be dismissive of this approach, I was just airing my grievances)

The funny thing is I play less than once per week, but I own so so many games I am ashamed of confessing that if I tried this approach, it will probably take me decades.

It looks like Golden Axe.

My body is ready.

disappointed that isn’t a space flight combat game thing.

This was a triumph.

I’m making a note here: BIG SUCCESS

It’s hard to overrate my satisfaction.

FTL, diablo II, The Sims (build music), ecco the dolphin (sega cd), hardspace shipbreaker
