Decided to jump on the bandwagon and buy Vampire Survivors because of all the people singing it's praises here, and uh... It's a lot of fun.

Everyone should pick it up. It's just $3. Probably cheaper than you spend on a coffee.

You have no way of knowing that. This is a years old vulnerability, someone could have been quietly exploiting it in a way that doesn't crash your game or fullscreen a Thanos meme. And now that the vulnerability is widely known, you have to assume people are now looking for it.
To add to this, there's a psychological component as well:
If gray or blackhats know there's a hole somewhere, they're more likely to go search for it than if they don't know there is one - because just knowing there is one means it's much more lucrative time spent than randomly poking code (although statistically, at 100-1000 lines of code per bug, for any software it's just a matter of time).

This is also why governments backdooring cryptography primitives is never going to work out and only cause everyone to lose.

It was a while ago, and it was twitter, and I could be overthinking/misremembing it, but I recall there was some anxiety/frustration/depression here and there from the dev on the negative reception of Minoria and how everyone just gushes about Momodora ROTM above all else, that I'm almost worried they might feel pigeonholed into just creating that same game (and as you pointed out, the same 'giant boss you have to hit in the tits") since it's what everyone seems to want instead of possible new experiments. Again, probably overthinking due to the confusing nature of twitter (if someone followed them and had a different impression I'd be glad to be mistaken) and I'm sure it'll be a lovely game.

Isn't there some law for certain countries where you can't sell a WW2 game with nazi iconography or Hitlers likeness in it. So this game has real "We have Hitler at home" energy.


[EDIT]: The law may also apply to Hitlers genitals / testicle...

based on the note at the bottom it also is the final Momodora game, I guess that dev is moving on to something new

I finished Nobody Saves the World. it was pretty good but I didn't do all the side dungeons because, honestly, the procgen for the dungeons was pretty bad. i was acutely aware they were randomly generated at all times, which you don't really want to feel when you're in a randomized map. but they just use very few variants on the prefab rooms and the dungeons are just differently skinned versions of the same algorithm

Oh, it's out!

Gnosia is super cool and weird, I recommend it. While there are some visual novel elements to it, be aware for better or for worse you will be playing an actual mafia/werewolf style game against AI and it's pretty fun figuring out their quirks and manipulating them. Just don't expect a straightforward VN experience or something like Danganronpa or whatever

FrickenMoron

Good game!
Having just finished Gnosia on the Switch a week ago, don't go in and expect an "Among us" Visual Novel. It's a Werewolf/Mafia game set in a time loop, but it also has a definite ending, good characters and setting/art. There's some very light Visual Novel elements with small events that play out in the overarching story.

Overall it's a very unique experience and I'd highly recommend it.

Try messing with the dynamic range in the options. If you go with a lower range, it should reduce the volume difference between the loudest and quietest sounds.

Also make sure you have the correct setting applied - TV, stereo, or system (for surround). If you have system selected, but you don't have surround capable device, then it's gonna sound weird. Additionally, if you do have a surround capable device (like a headset) make sure the device is set to output in surround.

I have a 7.1 surround headset, and it has a toggle to go between stereo output and full surround. If I have it set to stereo, but a game set to surround, then the audio gets messed up, mix-wise.

Nobody Saves The World came out without much fanfare but it's worth checking out if you're a fan of the genre(s).

It's a mashup of different RPG and ARPGs by the Guacamelee team (which I'll admit I never played), has a decent sense of humor, and has some unique combat mechanics as well - instead of just your typical "level up, allocate skills, and find new equipment" loop it goes for a multiple active character approach where you can switch between any of 15 unlockable characters whenever you want (or need...), as well as mix and match their unique skills to keep things interesting.

Gameplay-wise it feels closest to Deathspank, with Zelda LTTP's map and Castle Crasher's combat without the stupidly large health pools, but it takes influences from everywhere honestly. I had a hard time figuring out why it felt so familiar and settled on Deathspank as the reason, but even that game is just a melting pot of mechanics from other games tossed together. The quest system felt like Tomba!'s, map traversal has some elements similar to HMs from the Pokemon series, wards are a little bit like enemy weaknesses in Octopath Traveler, and it all plays together nicely.

I don't know if it'll keep the pace up once I unlock all the characters but ~4.5 hours in so far and it still feels good.
