Just bought and replayed Bully cause of the Steam summer sale, and it might be the best Rockstar games and in my top 10 list tbh. I realized while playing it that you can really see the foundation of the "immersive sim" experience that Rockstar would carry over into RDR 2. But what I really like is how solid the core beat em up gameplay is and the fun collection of minigames. This is sorta a vacuous statement, but Bully is a videogame that really FEELS like a videogame, and the sound design is phenomenal and it has one of the best OSTs of all time imo.

The layoffs today were all corporate, mostly merchants and ecommerce people. Allegedly they are going to reinvest that into all the brick and mortar stores they keep closing, but they completely dissolved one of the teams that was pretty vital to getting products onto their website so it sure seems like they're putting ecommerce waaay on the backburner. Pretty sure they're just using retail stores to fund their NFT venture at this point.

:( I’m sorry you got laid off today. I hope you’re able to bounce back and get back on your feet quickly.

The soundtrack is absolutely GOAT. Shawn Lee nailed greaser and prep themes and drat near everything else, it cannot be overstated how much flavor and life the soundtrack gives to the game.

Are... are your buttons properly working? You should be able use them as long as you don't have negative TIMIEs, and if you have those, use the negative TIMIEs on an action with a short time duration.

Idk guys, all I know is that if I do something that takes a significant chunk of time like 60 seconds and select one the game tells me “TIMIE will not be used? Proceed anyway?”

If you're playing the first game you need to select the timie you want to use and then press a button to activate it.

This could be worded better but it's the game trying to tell you that you're doing a big rear end selection without a TIMIE

Bully is so loving good, yeah. I remember when I first played it I didn't have a controller and it was a miserable experience with m/kb so I abandoned it. Played it later on with a controller and holy poo poo what an incredible game.

Ah, it's been about three months since the Switch Pro was totally coming, time to do this nonsense again.

September? Bullshit. If it's coming it's going to be with Breath of the Wild 2, so they won't say a word until November IMO.

I've never seen 'the wave' before. I've seen a lot of 'the salute' though.

I presume that 'the salute' is both a friendly greeting but also an acknowledgement that they're only here because they slammed the daily roulette button. o7

It just says "new Switch" so I'm assuming it's another limited design like the Splatoon one. Maybe one to go with the rumored Metroid Prime remasters, that seems like it might be their big holiday game.

I played and finished a short puzzle game recently called Cats in Time. It's a game where you have a 3D diorama and you do little easy puzzles in order to rescue a cat. There are 4 dioramas per era and I think about 8 eras in total, with 10 cats in each diorama. Each diorama also has 3 pieces of a postcard hidden in it and collecting every postcard lets you unlock a secret bonus diorama but for the most part it was just a game about clicking on cats who managed to time travel and trap themselves in a variety of mechanical vaults and safes throughout history.

I also found out that the devs pledged to donate to their local cat shelter charity thing for every 100k cats that players find. Their page about it mentioned that by the end of last year they were already at 8 million cats, so that's cool that this little Croatian developer has tied their game and player progress to a charity thing. :)


Since I finished playing that game though I decided to try out Romancing SaGa 2. I'm hoping I don't manage to permanently screw myself over somehow. I wish I could rebind the controls but oh well. I've just gotten to the part where the game asks if I want to go after the goblin outpost or not. I'm not sure if that's still in prologue territory or not but it's at least after the whole inheritance thing is introduced. I really wish this game would let me read item descriptions from the equipment menu instead of having to swap back and forth from inventory to equipment.

I'm not sure how it's possible but the situation you're describing is the reverse of how it's supposed to work and how it has always worked for me. That message only shows up if you don't select a timie for big stuff. Either you're misinterpreting it somehow or something weird I can't explain is happening but that's not the normal behavior.

The Skull and Bones gameplay reveal has convinced me that it's time to ban developers from using resource collecting and crafting as a gameplay mechanic for the next decade or two.
It's in loving everything, it's always the same goddamn tedious process, it sucks poo poo and is empty grinding to pad out the playtime of a game.

Full disclosure I'll likely get it anyway because I'm a complete mark for pirate poo poo so I'm aware I'm part of the problem, but that doesn't mean I'm not right.

Remember when some British tabloid or whatever decided that a game called Bully was the sickest, vilest filth imaginable and successfully made the game change name in Europe to some weird latin phrase?

It'd be pretty nice if resource collecting and crafting were innovated on but so many games just kinda toss them in and they're more akin to fetch quests or those mmo "kill x monster" quests
