Rumors say there is a proper "next gen" version coming so probably wouldn't hurt to wait a bit. Games not going anywhere :)

~~hollow knight silksong~~

  • Hollow Knight
  • Islets
  • Ender lilies
  • Ori and the will of the wisps (don't love blind forest personally)
  • Blasphemous 1 and 2
  • Pretty much all the 2d metroids, especially Dread
  • Guacamelee 1 and 2
  • The messenger kinda
  • Steamworld dig 2
  • Animal Well

Oh and what I like about them. Exploration is 90% of a good metroidvania for me. Unlocking abilities and finding secrets in old locations is just my favorite gameplay loop. I don't tend to love super linear metroidvanias a-la Metroid fusion, though it's still a good game. But exploration usually can't be all of it. Combat if it's there should be decent at best, puzzles are always good. But really if exploration isn't there just right I probably won't love it. Also most of these I play on steam deck / PC. Except metroid

Just so devastated. Just ranted at my parents for still supporting the nyt after all this shit. Like it's these media groups that are responsible for this. They platform the arguments directly used in the supreme Court case. Im just so sick of mainstream legacy media both sidesing every fucking issue. They are going to lead us to our downfall. They move the Overton window. Like yeah I know the supreme Court is conservative whatever what I said isn't wrong. The NYT are partially culpable here. Fuck me there goes my week / month / year whatever. Can't take this news rn

I had a similar experience and didn't think I would do ng+ but still pretty much immediately started it and did another playthrough lol

 

Late thread sorry!

I've been playing switch 2 still as well as season 2 of playdate. Been really enjoying it so far! Favorite game has probably been long puppy. Really cute and clever game

Wasn't old enough to have any opinion of him but I just asked my dad who's been living here since '89 and he thinks our current mayor is worse lmao

Elections are this November. A ton of seats up. Shitty center right mayor. Shitty right wing city attorney. Shitty right wing city council president, among others.

The current city attorney was voted in 4 years ago in 2021

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

I mean if you really think the right wing accurately portrayed a nuanced issue that's certainly a take

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Except that's not really true. She didn't run on that at all. It was a tweet from long before the election that the right wing used to tarnish her

Friendly reminder that Seattle's current city attorney is a trump backing Republican who was elected all because Seattle at the time was too scared of a candidate who once talked about abolishing the police.

The author here is running for the position and if you're in Seattle I highly encourage supporting him. We have a chance to drastically shift the center right city government that has plagued our city these last few years

I need to. Loved her on Kinda Funny. Big loss for them when she left. Sorely lacking women voices on there

Janet really is the best. And yeah she did such a good job here

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The people showing up to defend trees at the city council these days are nimbys who don't want higher density. They fail to see that adding more housing in Seattle will prevent hundreds of trees not being cut down in the new suburbs being built in our forested areas

 

What have you all been playing?

I've been playing switch 2 as I was able to secure one at launch. Mario kart is pretty phenomenal. That being said I do think $80 is too steep for it.

Also finally finished Zelda echoes of wisdom. Great game! The switch 2 overall feels really nice. Very premium, screen is gorgeous. Pretty happy with it

 

Happy June! Whatcha all been playing? I've been continuing Talos principle 2, as well as playing the original rhythm heaven game. It's a good time! I have better rhythm than I thought lol

Holiday weekend... Forgot to post. Whatcha all been playing! I've mainly just been continuing with Talos principle 2. It's good! The story is definitely a lot bigger in scope this time around but I am enjoying it so far

 

Hey y'all! What have you been playing this week? I played a bunch of the recent Talos principle remake. It was cool! The story hits differently with the way the world is with AI but I still thought it was enjoyable. Now I'm starting up the sequel!

 

Whatcha all playing?

Sorry for the late thread! I've been playing the Talos principal reawakened. I never played the original and I'm having a really good time!

 

What y'all playing?

I've been taking it easy mostly. Playing some 3ds. Wario ware, PICROSS 3d. Not a lot going on
