1 day agoAll my suggestions are up there already, just happy to see ReCore being mentioned still. Metal Arms and Jet Force Gemini are excellent.

So, you’re talking about a dedicated ‘sit down and listen to this album in whole’ kind of experience? I don’t think even most albums are great for this, but yeah video games typically aren’t good for this because of the different moods they go through. I listen to a few straight though though:
https://dotemu.bandcamp.com/album/wonder-boy-the-dragons-trap
https://c418.bandcamp.com/album/wanderstop
https://sundaemonth.bandcamp.com/album/diaries-of-a-spaceport-janitor-original-soundtrack
https://supergiantgames.bandcamp.com/album/bastion-original-soundtrack
And the modern scene is still going strong
Hell yeah. I’ve listened to the Mario Christmas medley every year since it debuted.
Switch 2 had record-breaking sales FYI. This story is really about the overall economy and how fans already bought it.
Just look at this comment section, it’s popular to hate Nintendo. It’s mostly justified, but this story isn’t.
Personally, Edith Finch and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter really played to some themes of family and nostalgia that hit home. Something about returning to a place you moved from and seeing things in a different light now that you’re older just makes for a beautiful story.

Multiple thousands!? My phone was like $250
He was white as a sheet, and he also made false teeth
I guess it’s the combination of two industry gameplay types: “voice on the radio” like in Bioshock, and “branching dialogue trees” like in Mass Effect. You choose when to start a dialogue with your counterpart over the walkie-talkie after things you notice, or you can choose not to mention something.
It’s been like 10 years, but I still feel guilty I never bought Oxenfree after watching a Lets Play. I did get the sequel.
He’s a nut! Crazy in the coconut!
A big factor with Palworld is building up your automation with good base design and Pal management. You assign them to build, sew seeds, water, harvest, transport, mine, chop trees, manufacure items, power generators, etc. As you progress, the systems you maintain get more complicated but provide better services/items/convenience. Exploring is a lot of fun, with Pals you can ride, traversal mechanics like the hookshot, and gliding. Plus all the usual open world mechanics like enemy bases to clear, warp points to unlock, powerful world bosses hanging around, dungeons, and resources to seek out. I’ve sunk probably 200 hours in it with friends.
Yeah I love Pokemon and everything, but this kind of Nintendo apologism is gross. They don’t have a copyright on dog monster or derpy dragon. These are all based on animals and yokai, so obviously there will be similarities. But the idea that there was plagiarism/re-used assets was complete fabrication from the start. If you want to see an ACTUAL ripoff, watch the trailer for Palworld then watch the Pickmon trailer. I’m certain this game indeed plagiarized Mammorest at least, and the game design is identical.
3·10 days agoPolymarket is a place to put bets on anything: if the groundhog sees his shadow, if a hurricane makes landfall, if the US bombs Iran. You know just fun betting. Except now people put down huge sums, and just prior to the Iran war, insiders were putting down MILLIONS on the war starting that day. It makes it immediately obvious there are dangerous conflicts of interest.
Yeah I’m perfectly fine telling Big Data that where I walk is a walkable path or that the PoIs I pass exist there. There are just as many positive uses of that info as negative.
A splash of Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Most of the songs are meant that way, but some (cutscene music for example) take the forefront. A different use case is normal though. It’s kind of like saying you’re not supposed to enjoy anything not prepared by a 5* chef.
