in chulip you go around and kiss people until you're good enough at kissing to kiss the girl of your dreams. not everyone wants to kiss right away though so you have to surprise them or do tasks for them and it's fun. it's probably not on steam but maybe on vita through ps2 classics or something i don't know how it works

I have never heard of it. I did ask for suggestions a few days ago. What is chulip and is it on steam?

Chulip is a PS2 game where you, a lovely and poor kid who just moved to a sleepy Japanese burg, must kiss everyone so your romantic heart can become worthy of the literal girl of your dreams.

It's also on PSN

That actually sounds like a ton of fun! I'll have to check psn.
I did try and pick games I thought were most appropriate from my steam library but I'm trying to play games I've never touched so I might have gotten it slightly wrong.

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Dang man I started today with strong opinions about stux but his last half-dozen posts have been solid gold truth. I don't know what to think any more.

VideoGames, you should enjoy video games and not make regimented plans that will result in rushed experiences. Also, add Tokyo Jungle to that list so you can meet the requisite bloodthirsty Pomeranian quotient.

Chris Sawyer: My "pet project" at the moment is an ambition to bring my old PC game RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 to modern mobile and tablet platforms - not an easy task given that the original game was written in low-level x86 assembler code which only works on the PC. But with the success of Transport Tycoon on mobile and with the experience and willingness of the small team from Origin8 to continue working for me it was looking a lot more feasible, so they're working with me to create a very faithful conversion of the original PC game.

I beat Metro 2033 Redux, and it was fantastic. There was evidently an alternate ending I completely missed, and there's also one in Last Light. Is it worth trying to get the one in Last Light or should I just Youtube it like I did the one for 2033?

To all who share concern about my Crimbo list here's what it ended up being:

Final Fantasy XV
The Last Guardian
Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Dragon Quest Builders
Dragonball Xenoverse 2
Dark Souls 3
Dragon Quest 7
Paper Mario: Color Splash

The first three were all I could come up with a week ago, so I'm probably getting those and some of the rest.

They're just like two-minute cutscenes IIRC, if you don't care about trophies or achievements I'd probably just YouTube whichever ending you didn't get.

Ugh. Stuck on a part of SLAIN that is really hard for me. Decided to watch a youtube video. I'm watching this guy and I'm like "what the gently caress, he really sucks, he's taking all kinds of damage during the skeletons phases before he even gets to the miniboss, I must be missing some dumb gimmick to beat the miniboss..." and then he gets to the miniboss and dies in one hit. Thanks guy. Great video. I guess you never claimed you beat him, but what is even the point of a video of the same experience loving everyone's gonna have if they don't know what the gently caress they are doing.

If you log in your Japanese account and then go back to click the link that usually works. Assuming you can remember what it was, but you should!
