I mean, he’s an airheaded out-of-touch fellow-kids piece of shit, but he’s not entirely wrong about restarting a game if it starts getting fucky after several hours of continuous play.

Also, I’d suggest to just about anyone that they should probably at least get up and walk around, maybe get some fresh air, if you’re gonna be gaming all day. Your devices need breaks too.

Have you tried Wonderlands? I really liked it, and would love a sequel/more of that one.

Closer to 1 month-a couple weeks.

Is that graphite encasing it?

A lot of that same stuff could be said for a lot of other games. Even in the exact same genre (Ori and the Blind Forest?)

My first thought is a dock of some sort for the Deck

It’s still just another Metroidvania. I honestly don’t understand what makes it stand apart from others like Metroid or Dead Cells (aside from the fact Dead Cells is a roguelike)

Damn. Try some more stuff

I meant Hollow Knight.

Sure, but there are other games that have worked with that gimmick before. Maybe not as directly, but still.

I’m reminded of Kreia from KoTOR 2, with all her bullshit about free will and chaos.

Silksong Hollow Knight and Undertale

One is pretty much just another Metroidvania, and the other is way too indie/hipstery for my tastes.

I need to be able to kill things in video games without having to feel bad about deleting pixels, thank you very much.

Edit: I meant Hollow Knight, and I stand by what I said.

It really is just another sci-fi game. But that’s okay.

I’m the first game, you play as Andrew Ryan’s younger clone/son, who is apparently only like three years old by the time the game starts (accelerated aging I think), coming back to Rapture even though you have no memory of it. It’s all weird and convoluted.

I think people like it for the whole spiel you hear in the recording on the way down: “‘No,’ says the man in the Vatican; ‘it belongs to *God.’ I chose Rapture.” or something like that

I’ve heard the original manga in Japan was super hardcore. Like full-on dismemberment, pokemon would actually die instead of faint, and pokemon would regularly attack humans.

Generation Zero has bicycles as the main “silent” vehicle to get around, so you don’t alert the machines.

Parcel Corps (I played the demo a while back, I don’t know if it’s fully released) is about bicycle couriers, in a cool vibrant city. It kinda reminds me of JSRF in a couple ways, as you ride around on your bike and do all sorts of cool tricks, and there’s a funky soundtrack (from what I remember).

Eta: holy shit I forgot about, imo, the GOAT of bike gameplay: Bully. I remember trying so hard to get all the way through Shop class to get one of the best bikes in the game, and doing the paperboy side quest as much as I could just to experience that feeling, and earn tons of money. I ended up getting really good at it too.

Those are infinitely better

Spaghetti-pocalypse? Spag and sword fantasy?

Almost all YouTubers do it, especially video essayists and vloggers. I think they’re cutting out anytime they pause or say “um” to keep the video going so there’s not a lot of bullshit.

But who actually knows, I’m just guessing.

Why not your own basement?

There are so many mods for Zomboid, some of them are staples that never leave my modlist. I have a mod that replaces almost all the headgear on zombies with a headcrab from Half-Life (you can loot and wear the headcrabs too), as well as a couple “occupations” based around a Black Mesa security guard, or an HECU marine.

There’s the whole host of True Music add-ons, which all add actually listenable music to the game, in the form of cassettes, records, or CDs. There is also a collection of mods called True Action, that give you more emotes and animations for your character, such as dancing or actually sitting on a chair or bed instead of just the floor. Tons of vehicle mods too; plenty of real-life vehicles from all kinds of eras (the game takes place in the 90s, so I usually like to keep the 90s aesthetic) but there are plenty of “lore-friendly” ones that have made-up names for the cars. Mods that add interiors to RVs so you can have a mobile base, mods that make you able to add a basement to your house/base, new maps (one I have called Project Russia, and it’s basically the surrounding area outside Moscow, also a huge map)…

I just liked taking things apart, so I hope there’s just more of that. Maybe even bigger ships we can work on? And modded ships, so people could make stuff like the Millennium Falcon, the Serenity, or even the Rocinante; maybe even bigger than those?
