I have a decent sense of time and an abundance of options to verify it

We’ll have to see how Beast of Reincarnation turns out. Gamefreak’s other side games weren’t anything spectacular, except for Smart Ball.

Sounds like a marketing opportunity

It’s never a .NET compatibility issue

I had a minor loading/stuttering issue in games that plagued me for months. Turns out the SATA cable was loose. I had no idea those could BE loose.

Highly recommended. It’s unintrusive and fast, and you only have to check it now and then to switch up your activity. Every time I go for a run or get groceries, I look forward to what I’ve found in game :D

Haven’t actually played these two but from what I gather, they definitely fit the list!

Prey, System Shock 2, Outer Wilds, and Undertale are fully-realized microcosms where the primary game is unfolding the complex origami of the setting. All of them absolutely beautiful to experience.

Have you played Prey? Only other game to scratch that same itch for me.

One ring to rip a bong

Yeah I think it became such a meme partially because the comic itself was out of place in CAD, but mostly for Buckley’s reputation. Plenty of other serial webcomics had similar range of tone and style.

Eh to Netflix’s credit, both their backend and frontend are much better than their competition. Much better ux, and streams much more consistently. We pick up a sub for a month here and there. But AI ads will make me never go back.

Yup. Fan projects and indie games can fill this niche. Pokemon is the most profitable media franchise EVER. They should be innovating and improving, not chasing nostalgia.

Big appreciation for Undertale, which has 3 major endings but hundreds of variations for each. It’s nice to have the game acknowledge what you did and give you resolution.

Cave Story really isn’t a metroidvania. The path splits at points, but there’s very little choice where to explore. It’s just a platformer action shooter.

My favorite metroidvania has to be Aquaria. Vibes of the game are on point. The story is great for a game in that genre, and the traversal and combat are unique and tons of fun. Soundtrack is phenomenal.

Check out Gato Roboto if you want a metroidvania similar to Cave Story!

GPT4o was a little too supportive… I think they took it down already

Chiming in with why I love SV: While the game itself is a new thing (well 9 years old at this point), it really feels like a product of an earlier time. And not just the graphics, music, gameplay, and plot. It lacks all the dark pattern mechanics and monetization that’s nearly inescapable in modern games. It just feels good to play, but always feels good to put down.

I just find the game endlessly charming. Every time I pick it up it reminds me of my childhood playing SNES.

The team is 22 people… so that’s definitely not AAA

Wait 4chan is back up?
