So kind of you to say!

Six of these so far, and considering how happy they make me, I don’t expect I’ll slow down any time soon! Just glad people find these as interesting to read as I do writing them!

dinckelman, do games w Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition | Review Thread

That’s really great to see. I’m excited to get the game when i can

For me, Elden Ring. I enjoy open world exploration and collecting-heavy games, and I also enjoy soulslikes for the strategic combat and variety of options. So ER was like two of my favorite ice cream flavors combined into one delicious meal.

50_centavos,

Came here to say the same thing. 2 of my favorite genres rolled into one epic game.

Before Elden Ring my favorite was RDR2. Didn’t think it was going to get bumped down anytime soon.

My nostalgia faves are still The Longest Journey and Grim Fandango. My love of stories told with games started here. I do need to think about what my all time favorites are, though. That's a big question.

oh man, The Longest Journey has been on my todo list for eternities. Ages ago I was being a pixel-peeping-perfectionist and I hated the aliasing on the character models - but now that ScummVM does the game perfectly I really have no reason to wait… but… here we are.

Since the game is dear to you, how about some motivational sales pitch for it? Why should I drop everything else and go play the game right now? :D

One thing I really loved about it was even though the character models were as weird looking as you'd expect from the era, the backgrounds were beautiful and when i played it years later with more modern sensibilities, I still was fond of them. The story took advantage of the fact that the main character was an artist, so there were a number of colorful or visually interesting segments.

The whole experience felt so vast, and even not being a child any more (which can make stories seem vast because of your own imagination), there still feels like there's a lot to both worlds. And history to characters, just out of view.

It also lives up pretty well to its name. There's a lot of it. A lot of lore and locations and puzzles. Some of the puzzles are obtuse to the extreme, and silly. There's one that's almost legendarily bad, so it has that bit of history if you're interested lol.

It's tough to say what's nostalgia and what's my preference and what's genuinely great. You'd probably have to play it to find out!

Oh sure! Love the lowpoly/pre-rendered backgrounds aesthetic. The aliasing thing I mentioned earlier is just a “petpeeve” of mine, I can’t stand the jagged edges / lack of antialiasing. The rough pixel edges of the modes look so out of place when the pre-rendered backgrounds are so smoothly antialiased.

Though, there’s an argument to be made that when playing in modern high resolution, the character models are a lot sharper than the upscaled/blurry backgrounds :D

Some of the puzzles are obtuse to the extreme, and silly. There’s one that’s almost legendarily bad, so it has that bit of history if you’re interested lol.

I guess same goes for pretty much every point&click adventure game, sometimes you just need to be in the same “headspace” as the puzzle designer to get it, otherwise you just don’t.

But, sure I’m down for some history of a bad puzzle! I love obscure tidbits of old games.

I remembered the level skip code waaaay before I was old enough to know what ZAPHODBEEBLEBROX meant hahahaha <3

Rai,

Addendum: my parents wouldn’t let me get The 11th Hour cuz I was 10 :c

I STILL HATE THE CHESS PUZZLES FROM 7TH GUEST AAAAAAA

Rai,

Addendum2: my partner and I are stuck on a chess puzzle but I know that BrutalMoose did a 7th Guest playthrough that we are now going to watch.

I also have hints here youtu.be/T5rBc_T8x2g

Rai,

Oh you fucking ROCK. I forgot which puzzle we were stuck on, but we’ll boot it back up and check out your hints <3

I can’t believe I beat this game when I was younger, especially without Internet!

Rai,

Random memory: I put disc two in my new discman when I was super lil and my mind was blown when the entire (incredible) soundtrack started playing.

And yet they’ll grip that game right out of your library whenever they want to. The world that people complain about is the world they go wrong with. Once the fuckery started, that’s when I stopped giving these companies money. I haven’t bought a video game for probably decades.

I usually manage to push through now. It initially feels like it’ll never be comfortable… but it rarely takes more than an hour to be right back in the swing of it.

!deleted269 avatar

Od czasu zasłyszenia z pobliskiej budowy “KURWA БЛЯТЬ!” (“kurwa blać”) jest to jeden z moich ulubionych bluzgów. Sam mieszam, czasami ma to sens, kiedy faktycznie brakuje słów, ale jak ktoś po pół zdania bez powodu zmienia język to mam trochę… cringe? :P Mam poczucie, że jest to jednak zaśmiecanie języka i robienie z tego jednej papki zależnej wyłącznie od popkultury. Do tego anglosaski imperializm kulturowy. Eh. Idę książkę poczytać.

Tak btw. jest społeczność !jezykpolski :)

HK65, do gaming w System76 or Framework for Linux gaming

I had both, Framework hands down.

nickiam2, do gaming w What games have the most toxic communities?

League of Legends by far has the most toxic community I’ve ever encountered. I left in the middle of a match due to toxic players and got a temp ban. Never went back.
