@RefractiveENT :) The idea of a low friction/mental burden ARPG really sounds great and I'm a bit fried on metroidvanias lately so I'll be sure to give it a try come Early Access.

I Decided to Upload my "Lost My Job, Risked Everything on my Game" video to Youtube. With a fun thumbnail haha. If you haven't seen it, Link is in the comments.

@favoga_ Yes, except the obligatory sewer section. Only bad JRPGs have good sewer sections.

当時リアルタイムでプレイしてた人に聞きたい。FFⅦって発売当初からすげぇぇてなってたの？

@MrAwolf I miss this. Blowing wind and snow are miserable to stand in, but alongside a full moon no sort of weather feels more epic with a full beard.

OK algorithm our new bastard god you may be ignoring me, but I will continue to post. Here is more Atmosphere of my game. Entrance to The Ice witches Castle. Indiedev Pixelart Witches

@lotfgame If it's funny it should stay, just make sure it's not too easy to trigger and that it doesn't hard or soft lock players.

Bug of the week. Do we keep it in?

@Dearme2_ I left the room. It was a good room. Computer desk, two closets, mini fridge, SNES in the corner. Just leaving for long enough to get outside and out of my own head left me the possibility of not failing and it turns out not failing for long enough is the same as succeeding.

During your darkest period, what was the best thing you ever did for your mental health?

If Warner Bros. had to be sold then I'm glad Paramount won over Netflix, but I wish they hadn't been and Paramount had acquired Lionsgate instead. Paramount+WBD is bad for competition, WBD+NetFlix is worse in the current market and NetFlix losing is far better for theaters.

@Kanekrii @SamHain31st It has the worst maps of any 3D game I've ever played with most levels consisting almost exclusively of long, nondescript hallways. Good bosses, combat, and music, but any backtracking is actively painful on account of the above.

@SamHain31st i really loved first Lord of Shadows, but i never seen anyone who played Curse of Darkness say a bad thing of that game, idk never played

Which one of these games translated Castlevania formula into 3D well? (Including the Resurrection demo)

@inkfycreates It's made by the Blasphemous devs, I'd be very surprised if it's NOT good given how well their prior games stood out in a crowded genre (Metroidvanias+Soulslikes).

I'm confused because this looks good. The spritework is detailed, the environments looks up to scale and the backgrounds look nice. Pretty standard for an AA/budget title!

@TheNCSmaster Smaller, simpler games that don't require a ton of effort to learn the systems or a big monetary investment to keep up are going to be necessary if the industry doesn't want to rely on an aging cadre of gamers who grew up alongside the 2600/C64 through PS1/Win95 eras.

It’s kinda sad this game is getting poked fun at cause PlayStation would benefit a lot from more games like this Smaller scale projects with conservative budgets is what a lot of companies need right now instead of $300 million for countable nose hairs

@grandriser @Steam @CapcomAsia @CapcomUSA_ Everything else from the mid to late 90s is getting a sequel or rerelease announced this month, why not Megaman Legends too @CapcomUSA_ ?

Where is MEGAMAN LEGENDS on stea m? @Steam @CapcomAsia @CapcomUSA_

It's hard to think of a better developer to handle this (and I loved all 3 of Mercurysteam's releases too). About dang time Konami!

It's that time of year again where I get to discover the name of some random player from the 60s to 80s who deserves the HoF nod less than Darren Woodson when they're voted in over him.

@RefractiveENT Need to give it another run through or two first. The one I did was decent, though mining was a bit awkward and I haven't tried fishing yet.

Hey YOU! yaaaaa You... The ones who played our demo recent, liked it but DIDN'T leave us a nice review. tsk tsk (Link in the comments) (feel free to NOT leave a review if you hated it haha)

@SneedTech The auto-unlock part specifically sounds like a decent trade-off. It should also make the secondhand device market a bit easier to navigate.

Verizon wins big here. They are no longer the revolving door, easily losing customers because devices are unhinged to a carrier lock. Churn rate will improve due to this & also being more price competitive. 365 days on the network required but phones will automatically unlock

@muscleforlife While I normally like your takes a lot none of the big power lifts are necessary to become stronger and they are all much more likely to result in injury if your technique isn't good. Being able to fail safely is a big part of testing your limits and DBs or cables provide that.

Want bigger biceps? Do curls. Want bigger balls? Do squats and deadlifts.

@evleaks I'm dropping all micro transactions that don't actually save me meaningful amounts of time, which is virtually all of them. Also limiting the hours during which I allow myself to doomscroll about geopolitical events.

Anyone care to share any phone-related new year's resolutions that they're making? Like, "I'm gonna reduce my screen time in 2026," or "I'm not gonna give Samsung/Apple anymore money to sell me the same phone year after year." Whaddaya got?

@MuseumCommodore Bejeweled. It basically made PopCap, inspired or predicted the direction of Facebook and mobile phone games for the next 15 years, and barely gets a mention. Along the same lines - Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. There's a ton of games like it now and were none then.

What’s a video game that was massive when it was released but barely anyone talks about now?
