Preorder, no. I don’t usually buy brand new games. FF Tactics remake was the most recent and I needed to see a few days of reviews to build the trust to buy it. Maybe if Fromsoft releases another one-player game I’ll consider that. I’m not sure the types of developers I usually buy games from tend to even do preorder, it seems to be bigger studios from what I have seen.

Early access, yes for a few select indie developers that I want to support. ATLYSS because it’s priced low and looks great. Into the Unwell will be a day 1 purchase once it reaches early access, since I have played the closed beta and know I want it. Trinity 64 will be another one I’m excited for if it gets an EA release. I’m ok with EA for these because they’re the types of games I yearn for and I want more of them, and I know my contribution makes an impact to the devs.

It looks great and it’s been on my wishlist. Unfortunately the price is not right for me yet, and there were other games of higher priority on my wishlist for now. Maybe next year.

Thank you for the recommendation. This is great. Here’s what I got on a quick first try lol

You are correct

Currently replaying A Link to the Past (1991). It’s not even that old.

Thanks, I love it

Did you make this chart yourself from scratch or is there some kind of tracking tool to help?

Pretty spot on video.

I just ordered the plushy because it’s on sale and I love Chewnic so much. I love the fox.

I haven’t played very many, and these might not be pure Metroidvanias, but I recommend:

The Messenger

Pseudoregalia

Tunic

I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules

Every time you switch you have to peel off a layer of dead skin line a cocoon.

Lots of good suggestions already, but I don’t think I saw anyone mention Twisted Metal: Black. It’s very dark and lots of fun.

I don’t know who any of these are. Going afk jungle 30 mins brb

Nothing against the artist, they’re obviously highly skilled, but this (and other) character art is the biggest barrier to me wanting to try BG3.

I really don’t like it and have a hard time putting the reasons why into words. At the very least, the sneering smile, the hand gesture… It’s all too much. Feels like a Marvel movie poster.

Number keeps going up

Yes. Most of them are “fentanyl zombie” followed by a number.

It sounds interesting to me. Whether or not I would play it myself depends on knowing more or playing a demo since it’s not the type of game I usually play, but if someone I know or one of the few streamers I follow was into it I would definitely be interested to watch.

I think it’s important to make the game you want to make and trust your vision. It looks good so far and I’m following you on Steam now to keep an eye on it. Good luck!

Pardon me for checking your post history, but I noticed you’ve posted in the Canada community and therefore you might be Canadian. Is it possible you’ve been eating more local fruit this year due to boycotts? I wonder if there’s some relation.

I noticed my Ontario blueberries were very sweet this year, compared to the imported ones I’ve had in the past that could be somewhat bitter or tart. I have no evidence if this is a reason why they’re sweeter though, I’m just guessing.

If you’re not making at least 100k then you’d better be 10 feet tall
