also you should play pizza tower imo

I should but I probably will not, it looks cool but really isn't my kind of game.

Instead I will Octopath 2.

I looked back at my 2023 gaming log and honestly forgot I played a couple of them.

Kinda perplexed they ever thought that would fly, like I know it’s technically legal or whatever to own emulators themselves, but lmfao if they seriously didn’t see “Steam immediately contacts Nintendo to cover their rear end, Nintendo says no and makes it prohibitively difficult to do the ostensibly legal thing” in the cards.

That reminds me, I should get around to setting up Dolphin on my Deck…

RetroArch is on Steam just fine so I get why they'd try. I don't get why Steam is being weird about it.

good game but horribly run and they pretty much destroyed its player base in the first season. looking at gbo2 pc next which is sad because i love gbo but the pc version barely works

The killing blow besides the dogshit monetization and backfill and random kickbanning because of its bad netcode was how obvious it was that the devs didn't play the game when they went to balance it

My favorite example is the Tracer equivalent, the Zaku II. They thought it wasn't capable of killing well enough at first, so they gave it three extra bullets in the magazine. Then it was too strong (supposedly, this had no real impact and nobody cared), so they removed two. Meanwhile another suit had a grenade they buffed to be stronger than most ults in the game. They balanced this by removing a few bullets from it. Good work guys.

The game had a really good shot especially when OW2 hosed up its launch but man they fumbled every step of the way

This week's free Epic Games games are The Elder Scrolls Online, and also a puzzle game Murder by Numbers. ZOS retaliates against workers trying to invoke FMLA by giving them demotions, though, so I'm not giving them any money

right now i'm playing tails of iron, and it's fine, but it's way too padded. story progression is locked behind doing sidequests (you have to raise money to restore your castle)

game developers, if your sidequests are required to beat the game, they're not sidequests lol

Sleeping is WotY. way too easy, takes too long, cutscenes don't make sense, and if you don't log in every day you're too heavily penalized.
