Ahh I see. I like that more I think. Cool!

I believe it's full coop. Not like from soft games. Seems to be a kinda 3 player roguelite thing. 3 players get random builds and weapons and make their way to a spot where a circle is closing in to fight a big boss together. Not a live service. Full game for one price

Yeah thankfully I have a built in group to play with haha. I can imagine randos being toxic

If you're into puzzles you can check out puzzmo.com and add it to your home screen. Works great on mobile and has really fun daily games!

Obra dinn is great!!! You should check out case of the golden idol and it's sequel if you liked obra dinn!

I am admittedly part of this problem. I have posted YouTube videos with little context (see here)

The comment there is kind of what I was hoping to see discussed. I thought it was an interesting perspective on public hearings. It was a short 15 min video that didn't seem like a huge commitment.

That being said, I agree with the post here. I didn't give any details beyond the title. No length, no summary. Not a great post in retrospect. And I get the same kind of annoyed feeling when people post just YouTube videos with little context on gaming. So I'll definitely make sure I don't do a similar thing in the future.

As a mod for gaming I am definitely willing to encourage some sort of best practices when posting videos. Though I am not sure I want to go all the way to removing posts for not doing it. But I've been monitoring this and mod talks to see if we want to do something more official. So stay tuned I suppose. In the meantime I'll be encouraging YouTube posts on gaming to add more details to a post

I don't think blueskys that bad. At least not yet. I'd prefer a fully featured federated thing but the fact is mastodon just doesn't appeal to most people.

Blueskys moderation capabilities at least are quite nice atm

From the UFO 50 website:

AUTHENTIC BUT ALSO MODERN - We carefully chose what elements to modernize. Every game shares a unique 32-color palette and we took great efforts to make them look and sound like actual 8-bit titles from the 80s. On the other hand, it was important to us that UFO 50 was fun and surprising for modern players, so we chose not to limit ourselves to the genres and design conventions of the past.

They've said in interviews as well that they choose to view UFO soft as a game company that was very ahead of its time

My goty and one of my new all time favorites. It's the best bundle since the orange box. Every game is unique and awesome and very well thought out. These are not mini games, they are well well thought out, clever, and fun games.

Not all are for me, but I've had fun stumbling around each game and figuring them out. Favorites include:

• Mini and Max
• Party house
• Rail heist
• Night manor
• Overbold
• Warp tank
• Mortol

Eh. They've been great at that but I dont see this as it. Handheld stuff is cool and popular right now. Don't get me wrong, they definitely could self sabotage here. They 100% did with the vita and their egregiously expensive memory cards....

But the PSP and Vita were great devices aside from that. I could see this working

I saw them mention this in their recent update video. Def giving this a listen haha. Sounds insane

Hey a fellow 2042 defender. Def agree with you that it gets too much hate. It def is a lot better now but I didn't hate it on launch either tbh haha

Picked simply because no souls era from soft games go above 60. I would absolutely take higher but I don't expect it

Best news Ive seen all week!

Few things I want more than PC bloodborne 😔. I'd settle for PS5 remake / remaster just to get 60fps

Disagree. Caitlyn Jenner fucking sucks but we don't have to invalidate her perfectly legitimate, valid, and real gender identity to express disdain for her

Yeah 2066 is a bummer. I think the one this article talks about and the capital gains tax were way more important to shoot down so I am at least thankful about that. And yeah Heywood absolutely is filling the Eyman shit hole and I am not looking forward to it

What I've held onto post election is my city (Seattle) and state had really good outcomes for elections. One of the few places in the country that swung more left.

There were 4 initiatives on the ballot, all put forth by a conservative millionaire to repeal good laws. One looks like it will unfortunately pass (I 2066, to get rid of electrification initiatives for housing, which is a bummer) but the other 3 lost by a lot, including the one this article mentions. We also replaced our awful 3 time losing city council member who was appointed. And we passed our very necessary transportation levy. Not to mention our former AG, who was one of trumps biggest enemies last administration is now our governor.

The next 4 years will not be nice. But I'm privileged, happy, and thankful I get to be here for them
