There's a ring right in the center man. I'm not sure what the symbol is supposed to invoke...either two hands gripping a steering wheel, or two hands holding a tablet, or a man stretching his butthole out?

it's two hands holding a Wii U tablet with an image of goatse on it

And it made one-eighth the difference.
It's a Switch without JoyCons (because they were sent in to fix the drift).

pretty telling that goons would focus on the ring no ring or the middle of the abyss, but check the orientation of the thumbs.

Target fixation like that will see you drive straight into a piranha plant or banana peel.

The violent ending is canon anyway.

That feels really weird given how the game frames the actions to achieve each ending, but oh well.

I finished Metro 2033 Redux and for the 5 bucks I paid that was a pretty cool experience of a game and it ran excellent on the Switch. Unfortunately I got the violent ending though because I *checks notes* killed too many nazis? Yikes, I don't think that's what you were going for game but crikey, you sure did put in a lot of pacifist points earned by hearing nazis out. :eyepop:

STALKER the film is on HBO Max in the States. Legitimately one of the best shot movies I have ever seen. I watched in a college film class many many years and and revisited last fall and it's just amazing.

And yeah every should read Roadside Picnic. Not the same as the game but similar.

I bought it a couple of days ago and been having a blast. Some load times are a bit long but nothing that’s not manageable.

Yeah I'm having a great time getting back to it but mine randomly hiccups pretty frequently especially with flashy enemies or lots of elemental effects on screen. Annoying for sure but not a deal breaker

If the load times are getting increasingly longer, I usually restart the app and that seems to help a bit

Loved Link to the Past :) Got Twilight princess, then Breath of the Wild still to come this year.

Will play DK64 at some point but I think due to my flailing around in Banjo Kazooie that it has been requested to see more of my depth perception problems and more laughing at my magooing through things. I probably will also play Banjo Tooie first but I have not decided as I have Metroid Prime Remastered and Chronotrigger to take on way before them.

As someone who really loved Banjo Tooie as a kid and never played the first one, I replayed them both years later, loved Kazooie and found Tooie so boring I couldn't finish it

I honestly wasn't expecting to dislike it on replay as much as I did, especially after loving properly playing Kazooie for the first time - thought it would just be like that but with slightly worse level design. It genuinely made me a bit sad lol

I had a similar experience when I replayed both on Rare Replay - Kazooie was great, tightly designed and enjoyable throughout, whereas Tooie felt like an unnecessarily bloated slog, full of all the worst excesses of that era’s mindset for sequels (bigger + more stuff = better)

Banjo Kazooie has been a real highlight of the year, I gotta agree.

The music whips, the levels are great (Rusty Bucket Bay and Click Clock Woods being my faves) and it controls really decently.

I do hope I have fun with Tooie, though.

I am still kind of chasing the high of battling a personal demon from last year where I played SM64 and at the urging of stream chat went for all 120 stars and was successful. Me and jumping in the third dimension does not go well and I though it beyond me. I am so happy and so proud of doing all 120, even the wingcap level that nearly destroyed me, that I want to work my way through all the big name Nintendo mostly 3D platformers.

I am tackling Super Mario Sunshine (from the 3D all stars package) in a few games time.

I replayed BK making a bunch of maps for it this winter. I had never played BT, was definitely surprised how it was considered mixed reception and not just more of the same, like I assumed. Hard to tell if it's worth a play or not?

On a similar note, I got all the collectables on Banjo Kazooie 3: Legallie Distinctie Yooka Laylee and very almost completed it but the last boss is just ugh. Overall, a decent game for the genre but it can't quite hide the fact it's a kickstarter game. It definitely feels like it was made with a somewhat inconsistent cashflow/workflow and slightly too many 'rewards' and goals to fill. The "retro" stages were particularly painful.

this is a really big overstatement. the old strategy guide I used to own had maps of each level, they’re not that convoluted. Grunts Industries is the only one that’s really at all confusing.

It was one of the formative games for me where I was massively hyped going into it, and gradually build up more and more cognitive dissonance as I gradually realised it wasn't good. I think the straw that broke the camels back was going through a train tunnel joining up levels and it dawning on me that it was just more pointless travel time. Still played it to completion, but I can't see going back to it like I could Banjo 1.

There's definitely times where it feels like Tooie bit off more than it can chew but it's still a good game imo, just don't go into it expecting it to be as good as Kazooie b/c it's not
