mariowiki says Captain Syrup's first name is Maple and I hope it's true

Maple from Zelda grew up to be a pirate in Wario land, went back to being a witch again in old age, and then when she died became Risky Boots. This is all canon.

I have been on an isometric cRPG kick lately, but there is only only so many times you can replay Shadowrun or Pillars. Never could get into D:OS. Are the enhanced versions of the old Baldur's Gate/Icewind/Planescape titles any good? Or are there any other good games in this vein I might be forgetting?

Divinity: Original Sin 2 is great and much better than the first game.

Small clip, but it really assuages my fears it was gonna be too fast like SoR3. Interested, now let's see who's on the ost.

That's SoR3 speed, with added air juggle.

I'm looking forward to this solely because it means we'll get the game's original music outside of the crusty DS sound font.

infectious madness of dr dekker was a fun fmv game with some flaws on top. i wish it had more parser flexibility

also the murder mystery angle becomes a joke on the final day when they just give you a ridiculously obvious clue

What's different? The first game shat a while bunch of super silly poo poo on my lap in the first town, then locked me there with brutal encounters outside the gate. It was a shame too, because it had so much potential.

Silly is good and youre supposed to probe for the direction that has enemies at your level unless you are already familiar with the game.

One of the smaller things I liked about Contradiction was how the icon for Jenks in profile looks like Sherlock Holmes in his deerstalker. I can't find a picture of it right now but I know I saw it and thought it was cute, though I don't know if it was intentional or if I was just looking too far into it.

Hollow Knights artstyle definitely look like something from Newgrounds. It was a huge turnoff for me even before the boring game play. Gris looks beautiful though
