Yeah I’ve regretted it ever since. But in my defense I got it in the summer before my freshman year in college and by the time I beat WW, multiplayer Halo over the university’s intranet was about to take over my life. And to be honest, that’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had gaming so oh well.

I'm still mad as hell that Silicon Knights shat the bed after Eternal Darkness. Even if they did put the gang back together, it's clear that game was more a happy accident than the product of actual talent. :sigh:

I really want another Eternal Darkness.

e: While I'm here, how far have people got in Dandara? I'm at the Dreamlands now and it is getting unfun hard. Incredibly difficult to navigate, more enemies in any given screen than any other region combined and severe punishments for dying, ugh.

I think I remember reading an article that implied the success and general goodness of Eternal Darkness was due to Nintendo being up their buttholes at every opportunity. This helps explain why Twin Snakes was also good, while Too Human was Too Human.

Nah, it's fine. I have no golf game experience either, and I still beat every story challenge first time. Usually by a fair margin.

Some of the side content can be bonkers.

There's maybe a couple optional side quests that are hard but the majority of the game is pretty easy.

Tiny Build are a pretty big indie publisher, their strike rate is pretty low though. A Switch port of Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor would be cool though, and a port of Punch Club is almost certain since I heard it did pretty well on 3DS.

So, is there a thread recommended HDMI switch? With the arrival of my SNES NT, i am now at 8 HDMI devices and relegated to having something plugged into the front panel HDMI on my receiver.

Probably doesn't need anything super fancy (like 4K) because I'll probably just use it to switch the NES NT, the SNES NT, and my Wii U. 4 ports would be nice in case I ever HDMI mod the N64.

They started the stream with a 20 minute countdown, ran a few trailers for PC stuff, accidentally restarted the timer so are just starting early.

E: And now the audio on this pre-recorded video is massively hosed. Also they started again.

Well it's a pre-recorded video, so if the audio was hosed the first time it's not going to be fixed the second time unless they somehow reencoded the whole thing in under a minute.

E: And now there's no audio at all.

Hello Neighbour really isn't great, its whole gimmick of having a learning enemy who counters what you did last time starts to fall apart pretty quickly.

Hello Neighbor is kinda neat but it's like 40$ on steam and that's just not worth it. (There is a demo if you're curious.) It also has a big youtuber clickbait jumpscare following.

And it’s not really learning so much as a simple if/then kind of setup. The player has very limited routes set to actually get into the Neighbor’s house. So if the Neighbor sees the player do something or go through a certain scripted door the next day a preplanned response is put into place. It seems neat until you realize it’s smoke and mirrors with the level design more then any kind of learning action

Enter the Gungeon is still buggy as gently caress even after the update. I got to the 5th floor with an awesome set of guns, awesome passive items and a whole bunch of health and armor. The game crashed, I reloaded, and now I'm back at the start of the 5th floor but with 0 weapons and 0 items. I don't even have my starting gun. Thanks game. Suck a dick.

Streets of Rogue is also coming to Xbox One and Hello Neighbor just got leaked to have a PS4 release as well (both it and the Switch version are getting retail releases). I could give Punch Club another try but if I wanted to play Hello Neighbor I'd probably get it on Steam or PS4. Streets of Rogue looks pretty rad though and great for a portable.

The biggest problem with Punch Club is its really aggressive stat degradation that requires you to spend a huge portion of each in-game day training just to break even, leaving very little time to accomplish anything else. It’s a real slog.
