I can't even imagine who the target audience for a new LSL game is. It was a dad game 30 years ago.

Germans, the only nation left that still loves clunky PC RPGs and gross point-and-clicks.

i'll admit i'm just in an extremely foul mood atm but when i think of playing things up for laughs i think of irony (or at least the "irony" people typically think of) and just how "ironic" an awful lot of things, ideas, and people have turned out to be over the last few years

Well I guess but like precision mentioned they were at least self aware enough at some point to have Larry be like "huh weird schmoozing on girls like a creepy loser doesn't work anymore, almost like it's been 20 years". And yet they made another one, because time is a flat circle I guess

Yknow how the 'DING' effect when you level up in WoW became so well known that you probably can still imagine the BWOMMMM sound and the 'yessss' feeling you got from it even if you haven't played WoW in years? Slot machines I mean gacha is that but on every screen stuffed into every corner all the time.

I'm pretty sure the "DING" effect was from Everquest and everyone just called the one in WoW "ding" since the meme had already been established at that point. I could be wrong though, I've never actually played EQ.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

I feel like the good poo poo Cross Code does with its interface should be acknowledged more. You have a way to quickly go through incidental dialogue from NPCs in the world, and if a relevant keyword pops up in a box you can talk to the character at that point. The quick menu is also good.

I finished the first dungeon of CrossCode at a point where I already wanted to kill at least one person with a sliding block and talked with a buddy who had completed the game already about it and he was "Yea, it gets worse but it's worth it." and I'm still not sure it is worthy. There are good things there, definitely, but that was one hell of a cold shower on my expectations.

I guess I should have picked an example from something I've actually played, oh well. My point was, gacha type games are an experiment in taking that tiny feedback loop and implementing it absolutely everywhere and it turns out it still works even without the whole video game aspect happening to precede it

It gets even better after the end where Vinny hunts through the file directory for the game because he can't believe that was it. and he does find something !
