Tunic, big spoilers: i got the three medallions, just like in Zelda (they’re even colored the same!) and freed the ghost fox lady who’s been reviving me the whole game when I died…who then turned around and killed me, which left me as a ghost, which kinda loving sucks since being incorporeal means my upgrades are gone.

The end of Superliminal hit me way harder than I expected :eyepop: Think it's just a game that I played at the exact right time in my life but I really enjoyed it's message right now. Pretty fun little series of perspective puzzles too!

Triangle strat, if I may:
Kinda wish in cutscenes they just had the speaker’s portrait in the dialogue box. Possibly a skill issue but with the slightly washed-out aesthetics some unique sprites look kinda similar to me and I still haven’t memorized anyone’s name so I’m hitting the “who is this?” button all the time.

Also is there just, like, no choices to make re: unit development, outside which very minor stat benefit to get in which order?

Lack of portraits in text boxes is valid criticism because I feel the same way

movie list

1. RRR - I think this is pretty close to "what if they made a Yakuza movie"
2. Everything Everywhere All At Once - Like many of you, presume, I have spent my life writing little things here and there and having little ideas. This movie made me go "Oh, they did the thing I wanted to do, but better, and also they actually did it instead of just having it in their heads"
3. Glass Onion - A lesser Knives Out sequel is still a good movie
4. Nope - Jordan Peele's worst movie is still a good movie
5. ScreaVm - My wife fuckin loves this poo poo and I'm happy to report that this movie is good

TV list

1. Severance - Fuckin, what if labor was alienating???
2. Barry Season 3 - it's Barry
3. Kaguya-Sama Love Is War Season 3 - I'm more invested in the love lives of this student council than I've ever been in my own
4. The Resort - incredible stand-alone season of mystery TV that was doomed to fail because they put it on fuckin Peacock
5. Spy x Family - shock!

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Very successful game, of course there were bound to be copycats.

Yep, no real character customization at all, at least not in the long term.

The materials you need to upgrade weapons are pretty limited in a fresh playthrough, though, so you will have to make some real decisions about who gets upgrades and which upgrades you prioritize. But with the game's NG+ system you can expect to eventually max out everyone if you do multiple routes, and there's no class changing system.

IMO it's for the best because it means the game has a cast of 30 completely unique characters and it's more about team composition than individual character customization.

I think for most people it's just a thing that's in games now and they don't think about it.

I don't care much about the battle pass (the sooner people come to terms with the fact that there will never again be a big budget online game without a battle pass, the better) but the fact that it seems to be a chapter-based linear game instead of a free roam Arkham game is the worst part of this to me.

the dev cycle on AAA games is so long they're pushing out titles aping the success of Destiny 9 years later or whatever

I really, really appreciate the indie scene for this, they iterate so rapidly that there are often games solving design issues that are bugging me inside of a year of a popular game coming out (assuming it's something indies can replicate of course)

Colored loot was invented (or at least popularized) by WoW a lot longer ago than that

Heh I started playing the stranger of paradise demo so now I get those jokes

There's a good brawler in there somewhere if it just ditched literally all the RPG stuff and didn't force me to choose between +1.3% resistance to wind damage and -1.4% magic break recovery time

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


If you can't feel a 0.3% difference then your gaming senses need to be more finely attuned.

I don't know why Team Ninja loves the loot thing so much when I've only ever seen complaints about it but in Stranger of Paradise I just hit the optimize equipment thing when I reached a checkpoint and then there's a setting in the options to automatically dismantle all the terrible loot you picked up at the end of the misions (I set it to dismantle anything that's the lowest rarity which is like 100+ pieces of equipment per mission)

peak game design is devoting engineering and art and ui and qa and localization resources to solving a problem you created

I never used the auto equip in SoP because I wanted to dress my team up in cool outfits and not just wear whatever clownsuit gave me the highest item level

Naturally that also made the game more tedious and might contribute to why I didn't love it as much as some of my fellow Final Fantasy sickos did

I would totally wear the clownsuit but I did get annoyed that my highest power head slot item was a face mask that hid Jack's scars and grimaces and probably would have made the bit where the princess points out the small cut on his jaw make even less sense

Likely DikuMUD around 91. The internet tells me Magic apparently only introduced it in 98.
