Would you be my new best friends?

I think it was recently that people doing speedruns of Mario 64 only just figured out that a common shortcut they'd been taking to move up to a higher floor faster was actually taking longer than just... running up the stairs?

Summoning Salt is a GOAT.

Also being arrested for LPs sucks real hard, but I also wonder where twitch streaming comes into it since that could also be infringement. Although that lane is fortunately guarded by literal cute anime vtuber girls nowadays

Gonna be that guy and stumble into the conversation to remind everyone that Lego was a design stolen from another, smaller company and then Lego went on to try and destroy competitors with litigation, they are monsters that don't need your defense

I didn't know that. I watched some documentary on Lego once and they didn't mention that but the whole thing had a super weird vibe to it so I didn't finish it

I decided to try Starfield since it's on GamePass and I'm not feeling it so far. The first 2 hours felt like a lovely version of Disco Elysium what with going back and forth talking to NPCs and doing errands. Feels like a step back from Bethesda's previous games since at least in those you can go somewhere and kind of get lost exploring and maybe end up Somewhere Interesting. Here, due to the way traveling (there's no way "just quick travel to planets" was the original vision for this) and random planet generation works, there doesn't seem to be any of that. What little combat there is so far was somewhat fun in a basic shootbang lizard brain level, and because it was nice to actually have to do something instead of following a marker and listening to AAA video game writing. The UI, especially the universe map, is super confusing to go through and I don't think I'll get used to it. I might play it for a while longer and see if it picks up, but so far my thoughts are that it's super boring and 3 hours of my life I'll never get back.

wayneradiotv just finished streaming the best game of all time: GENIUS VS ANTICHRIST 1, a religious edutaintment game (?) game about famous historical figures (Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Edmond Halley) finding their "warrior side" (?).

Steam description posted:

11 DIFFERENT AMAZING DARKER LEVELS .COSMOS POSSIBLE OPEN WORLDS .

STYLE OF PLAY : RPG STRATEGY GAMES .. AS DARKSOULS .... HARDER .

INSPIRED BY DANTE'S INFERNO PS5 AND GIORDANO BRUNO AMAZING HISTORY .

WELL YOU'RE WELCOME TO PLAY THIS AMAZING GAME BUT HARDER AT THE SAME TIME . SEE YOU SOON !

here's a clip, a LOUD clip:

https://clips.twitch.tv/SpookyDifferentSwordSaltBae-drXY7MMAXqtT1riK

I haven't laughed like this in months. It has the craziest spells I have seen since Dragon's Dogma, movement tech like Tribes, shock and awe like Asura's Wrath. Einstein has capoeira moves in this one

My hot take on Starfield is that they made a bunch of cool ideas for spaceship exploration and decided it would get in the way of all the good on foot RPG stuff and replaced space with menus.

I haven't played Starfield but all the complaints about it already makes me hate it a lot

Other games that are pretty mid like FFXVI still don't even get half the complaints that Starfield does

Starfield is mid but like that's fine. A game being okay at worst is still miles better than a lot of real poo poo out there. Starfield's problem is more marketing, hype and reviews making a game appear as some sort of big leap forward when it's just a new coat of paint.

Did you have fun in Fallout 4? Congrats you'll have fun with Starfield.

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."


I'm disappointed that nobody laughed at my excellent half bladder press joke in the speedrunning thread.

I mean I could say that most space mods probably suck but Starfields space stuff is mostly fast travel menus so :shrug:

A switch 2 that doesn't cause my hands to cramp up the instant I pick it up would be an interesting value proposition. Unless they port triangle strategy to ps in the meantime in which case it would be useless to me

Catching up but the Hori alternate joycons are a godsend in that regard, complete night and day difference.

Leveling jobs helps a lot (and it’s quick if you orbital laser your way through the arena!), it doesn’t really seem like it since only a handful of combat skills can be inherited but all the Stat + 10 skills carry between jobs and can be a big power boost.
