I’m using Stream Cleaner on Twitch, still works. The cat has not won yet.
I already have enough zillion-hour games to grind, I don’t need every game to be that. As much as I love JRPGs I have a hard time setting aside time to finish one these days since I have too much else I also want to play.
Are these mutually exclusive?
They already did, Reroll came out in 2018.
Ew, crypto.
Place was good once, but you’re not missing anything now. Trying to recapture that magic just feels like Reddit is out of ideas and just desperately trying to remind people of the one good thing they ever did. It’s like Al Bundy still hyping up his high school football career because the rest of his life has been downhill since then.
Greatest of all time had to be the Nintendo DS. Such an amazing library full of games that weren’t afraid to try all kinds of crazy experiments.
Current-gen, my loyalty lies with Linux, even if the state of native ports isn’t so great.
Golden Sun holds a place in my heart as the first JRPG I played that had me do more than just click Attack for the majority of turns. A lot of older titles suffered in that regard, but Golden Sun addresses it with regenerating PP and free Djinn actions to encourage you to explore your toolkit. Puzzles were also fantastic.
Skip the DS game though, it’s bad.
I’ve been thinking about getting one of these mini handhelds, but I kinda want to hold out for something that could eventually run SteamOS. Deck is nice but I want something that fits in my pocket.
Splatoon 3 Side Order please!
I’ve got a few games I sink tons and tons of hours into, mainly Skullgirls, Them’s Fightin’ Herds, Splatoon 3, and Slay the Spire. I’d like to make more time to finish story-driven stuff though.
So the Star Player mode isn’t a ripoff of Splatoon, it’s actually a ripoff of Kid Icarus Uprising.
God I wish they’d bring that game back.
Splatoon 3 - Getting ready for a LAN tournament in Philly tomorrow. Excited.
Persona 5 Royal - Finished the third palace.
Them’s Fightin’ Herds - Casual practice session, by which I mean terrorizing a lobby for a little while.
Slay the Spire - After over 800 hours of vanilla, I’ve just started fooling around with different mod characters, while watching Youtube in the background. Currently playing The Shaman, has some really cool mechanics.
CrossCode - Phenomenal action RPG. Combat is fast and explosive, dungeons are very obviously Zelda inspired but with way more puzzles. Packed with tons and tons and tons of sidequests, many of which put unique twists on the combat system to keep you on your toes. Make sure to grab the epilogue DLC.
FOOTSIES - Minimalist one-button fighting game, with rollback.
OneShot - Fairly reminiscent of Undertale, if you liked that you’ll probably enjoy this too. And like Undertale I don’t want to say too much, take my word for it and let it surprise you.
Petal Crash - Absolutely fantastic versus puzzler, and a perfect entry point into the genre. I wrote a very long review of how in love with this game I am, so I’m just going to link that.
Them’s Fightin’ Herds - Another great fighting game, been waiting a long time for this port to bring us up to a grand total of two good fighting games on Linux. Has a lot of really cool features like a big story mode with overworld exploration, a cute lobby system with cosmetics to collect and treasure chests to fight for, a dynamic music system that reacts to the fight, and even a semi-cooperative dungeon crawler mode. Has crossplay with consoles as well. Full review.
Ultimate Chicken Horse - Start on a nearly empty platformer map, each round everyone adds one object somewhere on the map then you all try to finish the level. Whoever finishes gets a point, plus bonus points for whoever finished first or collected coins that have been placed. Then you add another set of objects and repeat. Quickly becomes hilariously chaotic as you try to figure out how to balance screwing everyone else over while still making sure you can win, only to realize that after a few rounds you have all built a horrifying monstrosity. Has full crossplay with console versions.
Anything by Zachtronics - A bunch of different engineering puzzle games where you have to write code or build a machine to solve problems. Once you’ve solved the puzzle, you can see a histogram comparing your solution to everyone else’s on a few different metrics, encouraging you to go back and try to optimize it further. I recommend Opus Magnum as the best entry point.
Would be nice to have some sort of native crosspost function similar to Reddit’s, so that threads are connected to each other rather than just reposted separately.
I’ve been on Pleroma for a while, @missingno
I’m intrigued by the idea of being able to talk to other Fediverse apps, but searching for my Pleroma account at @missingno to test this out turns up nothing. Is there some way to force discovery?
I’ve gone ahead and created !fgc@kbin.social and !splatoon@kbin.social. Would like to have focused subs for individual fighting games (Skullgirls, ThemsFightinHerds), but that’s probably not practical yet. Generally I’d just like to look up whatever game I’m playing right now and find a community for it.
Would also like to see /mahjong as well, may set that up myself later.
I picked up a Miyoo Mini Plus earlier this year as an impulse buy, and ended up liking it enough that I regret not buying a higher end model with analog sticks. Still, don’t know if it’s worth trying to upgrade now - I’m waiting for the day we can get a full SteamOS device in this form factor.
