COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING

Seriously, back in the day there were people posting on the forums threatening legal action on Tuesdays because they had a maintenance period. WoW and its player base have never changed

Perfect!

The warning message,"THE SLAYER HAS CONTROL OF THE BFG!" is also a great moment.

I am so glad I stuck with this game after the annoying first couple of levels.

I was watching a challenge run of Skyrim (“beat the game without using the left analog stick”) and the player did an exploit that made shouts have no cooldown and I thought, “drat now this looks like a fun game”, just zipping around and breathing fire like a true dragon

I just fell into Last Call BBS this evening and I can already tell I'm gonna love this game (the sentimentality of it being the final Zachtronics game may weigh on this but still)

With the vaporware that is UFO50 never showing up, this is hitting that spot of "grab bag of games with similar design sensibilities" and it's really doing it for me. There's three or so of the Zachtronics-style programming/assembly line games, but they have wildly different aesthetic styles (including a 1990s Dark Seed one wtf). There's also a tile-matching game that's in-world a Japanese ROM running in an emulator so who knows if there's some secret layer to it (there's an overarching story as a kind of retrospective of this computer system and 1990s early internet stuff in this fictional world, shades of Hypnospace). There's also a Picross/Minesweeper hybrid that feels really robust just as its own puzzle game, where you reverse-engineer a dungeon layout based on specific rules. Also there are two solitaire games. Sure, one of them is just regular solitaire and the other one is the same one from Eliza (shared universe...?) but it's still two solitaires! Also a bunch of the games having fictional cracktros with jamming chiptunes owns.

I will finish painting and applying decals to this gunpla tomorrow


Edit: that was a lie

He's retiring from games development. He started a new career as a high school computer science teacher.

The ending of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is bleak: In search of a cure to their father's illness the older brother gets killed by a spider-lady. The last shot of the game is the father breaking down in tears in front of his wife and son's grave while the younger brother helplessly tries to comfort him. Let alone that during the game you stopped a man from committing suicide because his wife and kids died from attack, having to navigate through a battlefield filled with giant corpses that you have to slice and dice to get through and you have a game that was a lot darker than I initially thought it would be.

Considering how absolutely compromised that project was by EA meddling every step of the way, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't really want to revisit that one.

I started playing dying light last week but unknown to me I started during an event where kicks were superpowered so the zombies would go flying for yards sometimes. I only realized what was going on after the event ended.

Anyway the game was kind of slow and boring without it so I found a nexus mod that activates super kicks permanently. More games need to lean into silly stuff like that imo. Give me a superkick, let Skyrim players shout constantly, who cares! That’s why I really respected Control, if all you wanted to do was cast Throw Scenery then the designers were happy to let you do that. No little blue bar that depletes quickly and recharges slowly.

These are also the same people that were accusing the new Monkey Island of being leftist based entirely on the art style because it looks like a modern cartoon and they're still mad about Steven Universe.

It's hilarious that they claim the leftist SJW would be the ones to censor the game when it'd be their more aligned conservative prudes who would censor the T&A they love so much.

I played tunic. it was pretty alright. Was disappointed that one of the movement tech pieces the blink dash thing comes so late while you're in the shadow realm. I guess you can skip to get it early, but following the normal path it seems like it's designed to happen then.

The manual stuff was super cool.

I love the manual stuff I just wish the game hadn't pushed towards the Souls difficulty level. It would be a pretty chill Zelda explore em up, if I wasn't constantly worried about dying to everything

I wandered into the quarry really early on through what's apparently the back route past the mountain before i knew how to turn the power on and hoo boy did it suck. I thought because the save point was dead that it was the proper entrance.

Yeah one of the neat things in Tunic is that there's tons of open back routes into stuff, no 'the door doesn't open from this side', but due to the perspective you don't realise they're there until you hit them from the other side.

Probably great for speed running, less so if you accidentally wedge yourself into somewhere you shouldn't be.

was lollipop chainsaw ever even a thing! did people actually play it... i only remember that it's it's one of the lowest tier violence game genres, zombie killing, and that they didn't even have a gimmick besides the character you play as wears a short skirt??

The gimmick was the main character kept her (still living) boyfriends head with her all the time. And the chainsaw I guess. And yes people played a Suda 51 game produced by James Gunn (or was it the other way around....)

Okay maybe not that many.
