You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA

I suck at navigating it. The whole place looks the same to me and it all feels very limited-access, even if maybe it's not.

Fair enough! I like hotels as a setting, so I dug right into it - and with the right costume you can go practically anywhere - well, everywhere but the front desk. Screw the front desk.

It's a real game too with achievements and everything. Amazing

edit: real talk though Bayonetta on steam would be worthless because it wouldn't come with the Peach costume which makes it so Bowser's fists come out of portals to punch angels in the face instead of her hair fists. Without that what's even the point

Maybe it will come with some unique Valve-based costume? NieR did

How's everybody's night going?

The night has been fine. Been playing a lot of Horizon lately. This past week has been poo poo for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that I got laid off on Thursday. 3 times in 3 years makes it a hat trick, I guess. Friends don't let friends work in the games industry. Don't do startups, kids.

Oof, sorry to hear about the layoff :( what happened this time? Or are you under NDA so you can't discuss it?

It's comparable to a topdown zelda game, but with less emphasis on puzzles. There are puzzles, but they tend to be more along the lines of "find key" or "get key item to get past gate" rather than zelda's more complicated dungeons.

Ys Origin I would say is more like a top-down Castlevania,

God drat that game has a great soundtrack. Makes me want to reinstall it and play it again right now.

My friend forced me to buy this week's Humble Bumble because they're multiplayer-focused but I haven't heard of any of them. Which of these should we start with?

Move or Die
Helldivers
Eon Altar
Ultimate Chicken Horse
Tricky Towers
Rampage Knights

We're just two dudes if that matters

Was playing some of these with my kids tonight. Ultimate Chicken Horse I think was the winner, it's a platformer where you pick a level to play and every round you can choose things to add to the course from a set of hazards. The objective is to survive to the goal while getting as many of your opponents killed off as possible.
Tricky Towers seems like it might be fun in theory, but tetris + physics is a loving painful combination to actually play.
Move or Die would have been more fun except it's probably the most poorly optimized game I've played since Arkham Knight, I don't know how you get single-FPS drops in a 2D game that takes place entirely on one screen.
Helldivers I played with some friends last summer who really liked it, but I found it to be bland as gently caress even by twin-stick shooter standards. I didn't bother spending the extra couple dollars to buy that tier because I know I'll never play it.

If Cave Johnson is going to cross over with any game, may as well be the one with "fly me to the moon" as its theme song.

when i was a kid i was in the hospital a lot for asthma

one night they had to put the IV back in my arm because I bolted out of my bed sleepwalking shouting "I'LL SAVE YOU SUPERMAN"

(i was a huge fan of Superman on Nick at Nite when I was 8 or 9)

now I sleep on my side and i imagine a hospital bed is bad news for me because you specifically can't really do that
