Dance Dance Revolution 3rd mix. It sounds stupid, I know, but hear me out. I really sucked at this game at first. My friends use to play every weekends at the arcade, so I really wanted to get better. So I really trained hard and became the best player in our group. People gattered around the arcade when I was playing. I was good enough for tournaments.
Now when I face something difficult, I’m confident I can overcome it if I really want to. I wasn’t like that before. Thanks Konami.
Still addicted to Maze Mice. It has definitely been worth the purchase.
I have also been slowly chipping away at the latest release of Plants vs Zombies Universe. Difficult fan game and I’m love it so far. Just wish I could get it to run through either wine or proton without needing to figure out the right prefixes and other such things to get it to actually run under Linux. I really hope they’re able to release a full game before EA and/or Talkweb ( the people currently behind pvz2 chinese edition ) put the kibosh on the project.
Otherwise it’s just been the occasional Slay the Spire or Dungeon Clawler runs.
I also just installed Sonic Lost World and need to figure out how to get the mod that improves things like not losing speed when turning right or left working. The 3DS version I got on console from Hshop is fun and all, but I wanna try the PC version. Got the DLC mod working, so I can run through those when I’m ready.
In recent memory God of War got me pretty good. The struggles that Kratos would go through attempting to communicate with his son reminded me all too well of my dad’s relationship to me. I’m fortunate enough that I don’t have the same issue with my children, and that game definitely had me doing some self reflection.
I loved and competed in various trading card games throughout high school however once married with kids I could no longer afford the hobby. Dominion caused a surge in the deckbuilding genre and ultimately led to my first published game design. Now board games and tabletop RPGs are a favorite for spending time with family and friends.
Can’t say any one game was life changing for me. They are more a collection of experiences that I reflect upon. Hundreds of games, that have refined me my thoughts and feelings over the decades.
Life is Strange 1 - There are just a lot about life that I wished I could change. Lots of regrets. I think about the idea of butterfly effect a lot. I know a lot of movies also show this, but they often portray in a very “high stakes” scenario which its hard to feel relatable to, since its so far detached from realism. Meanwhile, in LiS, the portrays a scenario that’s more localized, it “hits home” stronger, especially that part where…
spoilerMax was able to go all the way back to childhood. Like… that shit just triggered one of my childhood memories where I was being abused by my older brother and I ran away from home. I could’ve died that day, or worse, tortured and trafficked, or they could harvest my organs. I was supposedly a common thing the country I was from.
Life is Strange: True Colors
Some people might relate less, but for me I can relate to the Alex a lot, the emotional aspects of life. I wasn’t an orphan, but I feel practically like I’m one. I wasn’t originally supposed to be born, I kinda feel like this life, this “timeline”, is an anomoly. Everyone in my family hates me, kinda like how
spoilerIn a flashback / dream sequence, prospective adoptive parents would reject Alex, just like how my home country’s government have legally rejected (tried to, at least) my existence, and my parents, my older brother, they all hate me. And I don’t even have a “Gabe” like Alex has. Which hurts even more That family argument thing before the dad abandoned them is also relatable. My parents would frequently threaten divorce, and threaten to abandon us. There are arguments all the timex between my parents, and my mother and older brother, and then my they would turn their rage towards me, the youngest in the household. I didn’t even have headphones to tune out the yelling. It was miserable, it was agonizing. And I relate to how Alex never felt like there is a “home” And also the ending how almost nobody really believed her (choice dependent, but I fucked it up somehow) I don’t even have the ability to feel emotions, yet everytime I hear those arguments at home, I feel like as if I was Alex, like I had her abilities to sense feelings. And those feeling are explosive and contaminates the entire house.
I haven’t played much (under 10 hours) but I started one of the “easy” starts and it isn’t going poorly. I always hit the point in complex games where I’m not exactly sure what to do.
