Does anyone have any strong opinions on the following games I will probably buy at least one of them to play through this weekend:

omori
klonoa collection
touhou luna nights
the sekimeiya: spun glass

i like metroidvanias but kinda bounced off of luna nights, basically cus the combat wasn't really fun to me but at the same time each room has a bunch of pretty tanky enemies so you spend a lot of your gameplay time fighting stuff

yall all realize that the tiny list of "PS5 exclusives" is 99% not because of the handful of PC ports the hundred-million-dollar-marketing-budget crossplatform GaaS blobs
it's because of PS4/PS5 crossplatform games
which makes perfect sense, since the ps4 is already just a general purpose computer in a box and the ps5 is just a ps4 with higher specs. there is no game on earth that you can make on ps5 that you couldn't also have made on ps4 with a bit lower fidelity graphics (which 99% of gamers are just fine with). that is why there are no ps5 exclusives

the PS5 released on nov 12, 2020
there have been 413 playstation 4 games with release dates on or after nov 12 2020, according to wikipedia's list of ps4 games. that's more than one release every 2 days.

there are plenty of playstation games
there have always been plenty of playstation games

The sponsorship is from MilkPEP which is effectively an advertising collective co-owned by a bunch of different milk-producing agri megacorps from around the USA.

Milk in America should be nearly free considering it's a by-product of the bloated beef industry. Also it's disgusting plain, but I occasionally like ice cream and chocolate milk.

It's not though, different breeds of cows are raised for milk vs beef (the most common breeds are Holstein for milk and Angus for beef).
The beef of an old milk cow is tough and low quality, and the male calves on a dairy farm are slaughtered for veal instead of going to the expense of raising a Holstein cow for beef.
The same thing happens with chickens raised for meat vs eggs except, the egg farms just toss the male chicks directly into a shredder as soon as they separate them from the females.

Mutton is (or was) a by-product of the wool industry though. As synthetic fabrics got more popular over the 20th century and less wool was grown, mutton consumption dropped off a cliff. Nowadays you pretty much never see it in America.

Somehow flamethrowers often suck @$$ in fps games. Maybe that’s realistic though

i haven't played a single fps game with realistic flamethrowers, for example the US's ww2 era M1A1 flamethrower could shoot napalm a distance of 45 meters
meanwhile in most videogames flamethrowers act more like a lighter and a can of hairspray, shooting a cloud of burning gas 2 meters in front of you and then dissipating to nothing

Also like wasn't the point of cloud gaming that you didn't need a special computer to do it? Like, as long as your internet connection is good. If you're going to get specialized hardware, just go all the way and get a gaming computer.

yes, but part of the reason stadia failed so massively was that for the first half a year you couldn't actually do it on your own device, you HAD to buy the special $130 dongle

you can use ""pirate"" clients like cockatrice or xmage to play mtg over the internet while freely selecting from any card in existence for your deck

So I only have like a passing knowledge of MTG. I was under the impression the setting was like medieval fantasy or like lord of the rings. But now there's like space stuff and aliens. Does that stuff still take place in the same setting? Is it the future or an alternative reality?

MTG has a history of making jokey "un-" sets aka grey-border sets which are not tournament legal nor canon.
Those two space cards are from the "unfninity" joke set.

It has a bunch of goofy cards third-wall-breaking cards, like the handy-dandy clone machine and chaos confetti here, which enable an insanely impractical and overcomplicated "combo" that, as written, lets you tear your opponent's hand (their physical meat hand not their hand of cards) into confetti.

Does anyone know of any decent video games where the primary gameplay element is "novel research" or "discovering the rules of the world" with bonus points for "figuring out how to use them"?

It's hard to explain what I mean by that, but a very basic example would be, like... Zendo. Yeah, Zendo is a good example, I think. For those unaware, it's a very basic inductive reasoning game played between two or more players. You usually have pieces split into 3 shapes, each of which can come in 3 different colors, and 1 uknown "rule" that governs whether any arrangement (called a "koan") is "white" (follows the rule) or "black" (does not follow the rule). The rule can be almost anything, but by default they are quite simple, like "Contains exactly 3 red pieces". The goal of the game is to figure out the unknown rule by building koans.

So that's an example of what I mean. You have a small world with things you can interact with (shapes) and some world properties and the goal of the game is to experiment until you can figure out what those properties.

I have played a few video games that are sort of like this - for all the hate that it seems to get, I will always love the Witness because its one of the few games where this is a central component. BABA IS YOU is another example. Both of these games are very interested in making sure that you figure out all the rules really quickly though, and go out of their way to make doing so as easy as possible. They "teach you". Both of them are also largely dominated by very narrowly scoped puzzles that isolate you from the larger world (although both of them have interesting moments where you break out of those limits as well, BABA especially).

While puzzle games are fun and I'd love recommendations for more similar puzzle games (those are the only two I know of where this is a major mechanic), I'd especially love a recommendation for a game that is not a puzzle game, maybe something more open-worldy and sandboxy, where they give you the pieces and then step back to let you figure it out on your own.

It's quite possible that sort of game doesn't exist, I'm sure it would be niche of niche, but maybe it does and I've just never heard of it (or I have and didn't realize it had that sort of thing in it) so I figured I'd ask!
