Games should not have preset color options for people with colorblindness. Games almost NEVER do them correctly or offer good enough options. They should just give users full-blown color pickers for whatever gameplay elements require them and let users decide for themselves what colors work best.

SCmSTR,

I’m very curious. Can you elaborate on how that would work?

I just want a exit to desktop button always available. I don’t always have time to go all the way back to the title screen just to edit out.

frongt,

Alt+F4 usually works for that

Sonic 06.

If you try to play it casually it’s absolutely awful because there’s no guidance on what to do and some of the tasks are awful if you don’t know how to skip them.

But if you watch enough speed runs and LPs of the game you start to figure out why the game breaks, how to do the bad parts, and how to intentionally mess with it. And it’s hilarious to do so. It’s like an unintentional broken sandbox. And the best part is even when you’re not trying to it breaks anyway.

Also the physics in the game are absolutely WILD. It’s one of the few games on earth that’s so bad it’s hilarious.

Kingdom Hearts. The writing is equally sappy and edgy fanfic crossover slop. But there’s something so satisfying about the combat, especially after the introduction of the command deck.

FatVegan,

I remember back when streamers and big YouTubers weren’t a thing. I watched a complete play through of kingdom hearts when i was sick. No commentary nothing. I’m still not convinced that game isn’t a fever dream. Somehow i never really heard of it, just the name and i don’t know anyone who has played it.

When it comes to games, I have no guilt anymore. I enjoy some games and despise others. I think the only one that comes to mind for this category is E.V.O. The Search For Eden (SNES). I prefer it with a patch to improve the translation.

zod000,

A classic. I loved how in the last phase you could make the right combination of nonsensical choices and end up with human and do really well. Not as well as my hyper-evolved Rhino-montser, but really well.

Pretty much most of the CoD series… But then again I’m mostly a multiplayer guy, and I only really buy CoD games if I like the beta enough. BO7 is something I kinda do like (MP only with the occasional Zombies) but I have to agree with the fact the campaign is absolute cheeks. It’s like Treyarch wanted to make a horror game campaign but they’re stuck making Call of Duty so they just shoehorned it in. Which sucks, cause I KNOW they’re capable of much more, the BO6 campaign was actually quite great.

Stranglehold. I friggin love this game. It’s the John Woo videogame that is technically a sequel to the movie Hard Boiled and has Chow Yun-fat as the lead. I don’t know but I just really dig this game. Similar to it Enter the Matrix I also love. I go back and replay both every so often.

It’s also a bit of a comfort type of thing as those came out in the early 00’s when I was in my early 20s and still living at home and had more money than I knew what to do with hah.

History of my preorders or full purchases:

Full price purchase:L4D+L4D2 Diablo 3 - Probably the only culprit here. But cmon, Blizzard was good at that time. It Takes Two Binding of Isaac Rebirth PUBG Psychonauts 2

Preorders:Portal 2

The rest is just acquiring good games for low price. Especially humble bundle (that specific one was extremely juicy IYKYK)

Friendly reminder to never buy anything at full price, even if it’s stuff to help good devs.

Flipper,

There are a few games that never go on sale, like factorio.

StarvingMartist,

I have absolutely bought factorio on sale before

Flipper,

It used to be cheaper, yes. They increased the price for the release. Maybe you bought it on a key site at a discount. But you certainly didn’t buy on steam, gog or their site on discount. They have state the will never do discounts.

SCmSTR,

Uh… unless I’m reading this wrong, they are correct that it has never gone on sale before. Games like this do exist. It’s rare, but it happens. Like they said, maybe you bought on a key site or maybe a different platform or currency? But on steam in usd, yeah, doesn’t go on sale.

ayyy,

Why?

Lfrith,

Getting in the habit of willing to be patient and reducing money spending are pretty good general habits.

ayyy,

That is true but it shouldn’t be a hard rule. For example, do you not think the launch price of Hollow Knight: Silksong was fair?

Lfrith,

Shockingly good price, but that doesn’t tend to be the norm. Its more an outlier with retail price of games these days with even games with f2p monetization charging way higher.

Credibly_Human,

You say reminder like you just made a factual comment. Its literally a completely subjective value appraisal by you.

There are plenty of reasons to buy at full price:

  • You want to support the dev (many of these reasons can be suspect to me but its still a valid reason for a perspective buyer)
  • You want to play the game right now, as opposed to waiting to where you wont want to play the game
  • Many multiplayer games are most fun initially before the awful meta and hyper online people screw the fun out of it/force it all to be competitive af/necessitate you needing to look up guides
  • Speaking of multiplayer, you might want to play with friends/be social
  • It’s just not that much money to you

Personally, I’ve stopped trying to do any sort of trick to save money on games because I realized I actually probably ended up spending more on games that were on sale that Id just never actually bother playing than when I just bought a game the second I felt like playing it and then played it. It ended up being a bit of a fallacy for me, and I imagine its the same for many other people.

Darkness343,

Buying at full price is evil. It means you were coerced by the devs to pay their whimsical inflated fake price.

Credibly_Human,

Is buying literally anything at full price also evil to you then? Everything that isn’t rare loses value to time.

Darkness343,

Of course. Gotta cheat the system and buy at discounts. Fuck the economy

To me, killing off the ender dragon is the end of minecraft but this run was with friends in a server so we did a speedrun of it. My friends are extremely experienced players so we beat the ender dragon in just 4 days of starting the game. We’re currently building stuff in our server and exploring end game content

SippyCup,

Years and years ago I had a server with a few friends and we built a massive city populated with villagers. It got to the point where you couldn’t ever have the entire thing loaded at once because there were so many.

Then they did an update and we stopped playing and that was the last time I touched it.
