Closest is Terraria. 2D, yes, but very expansive and tons of content

I've heard that the original Switch was supposed to have magnetic joy-cons, the snap sound they using being the sound of the magnetic joycons attaching. However they couldn't get the magnets to not mess with the electronics at the Switch's form factor at the time

Seems a lot like competing launchers, a lot of companies want a slice of the pie that Valve discovered but aren't willing to do the same amount of work. I've heard good things about the Ally, at least.

Walmart's not going to be a good model, there, as while the chance of abuse being the cause might not be 100%, it hangs out near enough 100 to know more than a few intimate things about it.

If you're asking someone to collect your groceries, maybe pay them to do so. Tips are broken as a concept, so whatever there.

Dude's absolutely swamped with work after Dankpods took off. Keeps making different channels for all of his different hobbies.

We have the technology to make an infinite variety of characters and we're just using it to recreate the limitations of real life.

I am unplugged from a lot of advertising, but this seems very much like a game that is spreading due to word of mouth/direct exposure rather than purely marketing driven. I know that I usually wait at least a year to pick up games, especially multiplayer games since I'm almost always playing those solo. Enough people I know actually got this one and praised it, though, leading me to break my habits and pick it up.

Interesting considering "record engagement." I can't imagine that was just a lie, was it?

I don't know how plausible this is, but a way for trans men and trans women to exchange sexual traits. There might be an answer elsewhere in that there are animals that can change sex in certain conditions so there is some biological evidence of possibility in a singular case. However it seems anti-poetic that we have genetic females who want to be genetic males and genetic males who want to be genetic females and the answer that we currently have as society is for them to go fuck themselves.

I guess for more realistic, then deep dive VR.

Talented team, based on putting out some of the only interesting recent stuff in Activision's catalog. I look forward to what they put together!

They don't want it. I don't have a link, but when talking about the lead up to the game it was said that Sega didn't want a Mania 2 because they feel that 2D games don't sell like 3D games

Turns out pissing everyone off wasn't the most profitable of strategies. I'm sure they'll give it a few more tries before ruling it out, however.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if they are legit downloads. Gaming feels like a high tier way of recreation when outside is off limits. You can only build so many snow men before it becomes old

The biggest thing holding me back from getting one has been the console lock. I have a PS5 but would want to use it on PC more. I've thought about saving for an Index but know that the moment I buy one is the moment they announce Index 2

It will know the folly of its ways then and pass the information to all children you have post mortem.

Really wish Sega would experiment a bit with lower budget and lower stakes games with these dormant IP.. Crazy Taxi could be great but I don't think it will be a smash success. There's plenty of room for more good middle shelf games which I think this would be perfect for.

Not to defend this game in particular, but criticizing a game for its length vs cost alone is a bad trend that leads to Ubisoft-esque bloat and padding. There are plenty of shorter games that were well worth the price (Revengence, Titanfall 2, Portal 2, hell, most of Valve's full single player games to name some)

NY main criticism as an observer is that they don't seem to use anything except for the Minecraft aesthetic, as if that is the key to what made Minecraft popular. You'd think these games would have some building aspect to them.

To add to what everyone else is saying, the combat isn't the same in that it's not turn based like you're thinking. Fights involve everyone getting into a fracas at once and swinging, the game expecting the player to regularly pause to give specific commands. Also, in BG1 you start at level one which feels reeeeeally weak so fights will be quite difficult until you're about level 3-4.

That said, I had a lot of fun with the game after I got used to it. Writing is the main star of the show and it's quite good.

Let's put a cap on how much excess energy the body can store as fat. Sure, some amount is fine and has a number of uses, but just let me poop some excess calories out. I'd only need more if I were to hibernate.

Thinking on it, I want to hibernate too, please.

While we're at it from animals, how about upping some of our regeneration? Teeth don't regrow? Naw, constant regen please. I get too big of a cut and I get a scar? Let's let everything regrow from being lost if you can survive without it. Also why doesn't the brain heal? Most important part of the body and each crack's there for life. Let me get my serotonin back already, slacker.

Also what's with this getting assigned a gender thing? You don't even get to know what it means before you have one! And then we build society as if this coin flip was the seed to the tree of life. Let people choose and switch naturally, please and thank you.
