if goons were capable of being decent then vtubers wouldn't be a forbidden topic

I thought it was a forbidden topic because goons are all old as hell and don't understand newfangled internet culture like vtubers and tiktok.

okay holy gently caress this is worth it just for this alone:

This bundle contains the Dread X collection... all of it! That's 50+ weird experimental horror games, curated so you can be sure they're Not poo poo (TM). Hell yes. There's other stuff in the bundle too but nothing has as much bang for your buck.

Also I just want to say. I'm bad at Elden Ring but having a lot of fun? I've got a new morning routine where I smash my face against Margit (the first gatekeeper boss), lose, then go explore elsewhere and find cool poo poo like a crab to fist-fight.

I didn't realize how satisfying "dark souls but open world" would be and I really love it. Hyped for the expansion!

PS for purest gaming bliss, when you face Margit, put on Tenacious D's Tribute as your background music. It mixes extremely well and you feel like a badass.

I beat Margit on my second attempt as a caster, amazing myself, and then proceeded to suck utter poo poo on basically everything else after. Panic rolling, always with the greedy extra swing that some dark knight punishes savagely, picking the absolute worst fights, and I have never parried a thing intentionally (just lucky late blocking).

Amazing game and I loved it, need to go back to it for sure.

They really did something to the formula that makes it works.. I nearly bounced off of the game completely after dying to some wolves a bunch of times (I had no previous Souls experience), but once the controls clicked I couldn't stop playing (and have since 100%'d it on PS5 and PC).

What really strikes me is that something like over 70% of players have stuck with it and beaten Margit, which really, really speaks to how effective the difficult-but-fair (and fun) design is. I can't name another game that has such a large player base of different experience levels willing to say gently caress it I'm gonna beat that boss and bang their heads against a wall over and over until the mechanics finally click (and believe me, Margit took many goddamn attempts for me to beat)

I played that game for the first time last year and boy was it an experience. There was a mission I remember I had to repeat multiple times before I finally beat it just because I was getting wrecked constantly. Basically brute forced it to completion.

Margit is so much drat fun to fight even though he can destroy me instantly. I'm playing as a sword n' shield classic and having a lot of fun - and a friend said to me "if you meet him and don't ragequit at the difficulty and instead like learning what he's trying to teach you, this game is for you" and they're RIGHT

:hmmyes: I bounced hard off of every souls game and souls-like since DS1, but the open world really changed that for me. I have complaints about ER (its too goddamn long and i was supremely checked out by Farum Azula), but very few games capture the stranger-in-a-dangerous-land vibe I've loved so much since Morrowind.

I honestly could not tell you quite what I learned from Margit, and it took more tries as a dual-wielding melee sort when I restarted, but insanely fun.

Also! While I'm on a roll:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2117930/Drakkon_World_Builder/

Drakkon World Builder is on sale for 2.39$ and I think it's really cool. It's not so much a game as a map and dungeon generator, and it works beautifully with some PC solo rpg writing. It has built in oracles, dice rollers, etc - all kinds of useful tools for "I want to sit down and write a little adventure".




It has different tile sets and other neat stuff too - I'm really happy I found it, it's been nice for just, y'know, some creativity.
