Can also search through MiniReview. It has a robust filtering system including monetization type, network connectivity, and sub genres that is way better than any other way I’ve seen to find games on your own

AKA nonograms. I found one on fdroid but the interface isn’t nearly as good as the nonograms galaxy on the play store. They have one banner ad at the bottom but I use a DNS ad blocker so I don’t see it

If you don’t talk about LGBT drugs violence Canadians mental health it doesn’t exist. Won’t someone please think of the children?! Let’s keep the internet safe for everyone. I’m starting a petition to remove any content not safe for anyone over 5. Please limit any naughty words to p*opy or d*rn.

I dunno the series and the picture quality isn’t great, but it looks like there are duplicates of the same book several times in there. As far as I could see from the wiki page, there are 64 books listed and only one (The End of Death) has the same title for a 3 volume series. Yet in the picture there are multiple copies of First Heretic, Outcast Dead, Tales of Heresy, etc.

This is a great word. Reminds me of cattywampus.

You should check into the doom modding community. I don’t tend to play many rpg style wads but I know they’re out there. Some use the doom engine but the game is pretty much unrecognizable as doom (called total conversion wads). Here’s one article with a list.

One called Hedon got an official release and is on steam etc now

They also make some hexen levels (I saw Wrath of Cronos being recommended).

Something always gets lost in translation, but how much you lose of the game’s flavor depends on how much you want to spend to get a good translator.

Or https://doomwiki.org/

But how else would I get the past 35 years of Doom WADs?

The Second Wind folks just out out a video about MMOs being a dying genre

I still recommend it solo. I started w friends but most of my time in game has been alone

Just seems to be a basic commentary on how people think about prices in general. The x.99 thing seems stupid but there’s plenty of data showing that it has an effect.

By the time a game shows up on a giveaway it has been out long enough that there’s lot of discounts for it

That’s often but not always the case. For example, the first ever giveaway in Dec 2018 was Subnautica, which was released in Jan that same year. Occasionally other stuff has only been out a couple years, which means it’s showed up with discounts before but probably not deep ones.

Subnautica is good

wrecklessly

It was actually the exact opposite. Could even call it wreckfully

The Second Wind folks put out a video yesterday about what defines an indie game. Short answer: these days pretty much it’s just vibes

One of the yt gamers I watch made a comment about how by the end of Doom the final boss isn’t the mastermind, it’s you. The demons are trying to survive the doomslayer as you rip and tear

Did you play BS F-Zero? It was only available as a streaming service in Japan in the 90s, but someone managed to put a rom together a couple years ago. It mostly just feels like a remix of the first game, but it’s still some new content

People should check out the 1 upsmanship podcast where a couple guys discuss which games are worthy of being uploaded to a “celestial hard drive” for preservation. It went patreon exclusive a couple years ago but there are still a lot of eps posted

Dungeons of Dreadrock is short but a fun puzzle game

Do you use as many conveyor belts as Josh does in Satisfactory?

I can’t decide if the explanation that “our shitty game is made for premium gamers” is more or less absurd than EA charging 80 bucks for a game with most of its characters still locked would “provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment”.

She had nothing on Xenia’s polygonal proportions

They used to think novels were bad for women in the 18th and 19th centuries bc they worried they were too dumb to separate fact from fantasy

Maybe people near Tokyo are shittier about reviews? I dunno what to tell you. Guess I haven’t spent much time outside Tohoku.

First random city I scrolled to north of Tokyo (in Fukushima):

“Dishonoring” the chef makes it sound like there are still samurai running around. I don’t think substitutions at restaurants rise to that level.

When’s the last time you checked ratings on maps? I just looked at Sakata, a small city in Tohoku with no shinkansen line, and plenty of the ratings were above 4 stars. Seemed to be the same all over the place.

I don’t think japanese people are unique for leaving dumb reviews. Pretty sure you can find people in all countries saying shit like “store was closed when I went, 1 star”.

They’re technically not anymore. They used to be good old games but when they shifted to include a large percentage of modern games they officially became just gog.

I liked 1 enough until the first 2 chapters of all the characters were complete, but then it immediately felt like it hit a grind wall. With 8 stories it’s long enough already–why would they pad it out any further?

What’s the indie artist market called?

GabeN has “fuck you” money. He doesn’t need to kowtow to these uptight fucks

I’m guessing minecraft beats it. Or if you look at an individual player with thousands of hours it’s probably one of the mario speedrunners.

Titan Souls is a fantastic boss rush game where you die in one hit but the bosses only take a few hits as well. You only have one arrow to shoot and you need to go pick it up or stand still to recall it to yourself before firing again.

Are these any fun or are they mostly products of their time?

This has pretty much been standard for borderlands games since the inception, as well as looters in general. You just have to shift your perspective on the loot-- starting out you pick up everything, then past a certain point you start ignoring common drops entirely, then you can ignore tier 2, etc.

The way to look at it is that as you level your character what was formerly loot becomes garbage :)

I’m pretty sure you can still find people playing Doom deathmatch online, although these days it might be more limited to various events rather than finding random folks online any given day. The modding community is still going strong after 30 years though

I actually thought kerbal was a bit older. Maybe it was the years of early access or something

I believe that’s roguelite. A roguelike should have zero persistent upgrades between runs (like Rogue did, unless there’s another term I’m unaware of).

ed: However, I think it’s relatively acceptable these days to lump everything in the rogue-ish genre into roguelike. The roguelite term is generally for more technical or nuanced discussions.
