I might grab in half a year since I skipped Switch 1, and Steam Deck frankly doesn’t emulate well enough, however much I love it.

I only remembered it was being developed from watching a Nintendo Direct half a year ago, and then only heard about it after launch due to performance issues and Randy opening up twitter again.

The worst part, it’s apparently really good, which I didn’t expect. But I can’t run it on anything and won’t for a while.

I was a big hollow knight hater and I recently replayed it. I also found silksong to be the perfect difficulty.

Jokes aside, I enjoyed HK, just thought the backtracking got tedious and the endgame bosses were over the top, so I called it quits after main game 100% (and the final boss being hell). I only got Silksong to see how hard the game is before the nerfs come, and yet I loved it, I also found it perfect with a consistent 5-10 tries for most bosses from the early ones to endgame, and the true final boss only pushing it into 15-20 I think.

I went to HK in the middle of it to see if I’d change my mind, and most of it is still boring, but bosses melt like butter, including the DLC ones so far. I don’t know why, I thought I started getting worse at games in recent years. Maybe going from stick to d-pad? Or Silksong prepped me for being more observant of boss tells?

What is this AI garbage? Those shoes are neither classic, nor soap, nor any others I’ve seen, and I somehow doubt someone made a new model for this.

Does CO let you roleplay a communist disco cop who sweettalks everyone into his bidding despite being a total idiot?

It is to my understanding that CO is closer to being a JRPG than an RPG, with little in terms of choices. Which to be fair, a lot of them are inbetween, but makes comparisons pointless here since these two are on opposite sides of the spectrum.

I expected potentially shitty management of next gen Valve employees to ruin Steam, not this.

Worst case scenario if it get worse, what will the alternatives be in the future? Since most stores use these processors, would a store need to open up without them, or can the current ones decided to stop using them? I assume Steam won’t pull out even if they could, since it sounds like financial suicide when most of the customers are there for convenience.

Half of the soulslike appeal is the world design and exploration, which I assume AC is all about, as I haven’t played any. Elden Ring also explicitly gave people summons which make the game easier for almost every fight, so they can be approached by more casual players, and it worked.

Lastly, Dark Souls fans are tryhards that will tell you you’re playing the game wrong for using magic, summons, or sometimes even a shield. Dark Souls 1 for instance is way easier early if you have the Heal spell, and the game’s practically begging you to learn it by giving you all you need before the first real area. The “Prepare to die” slogan was introduced after DS1 hit mainstream.

The first pirate software video I saw, was claiming he made an unpiratable game because it used Steam achievements to track progress.

I’m no expert, but I think that if it wasn’t pirated, it’s just cause the pirates didn’t give a damn. And it sounds like it could cause a lot of problems like bad syncing, or making the game unreplayable w/o steam achievement manager.

That works just on Steam’s side I think, the trick would be emulating whatever the game itself asks Steam.

I looked up the video in question, the game’s called Champions of Breakfast and it’s a pretty small $3, so we probably won’t know because nobody gives a shit.

I only really like STALKER I think, because it’s generally compressed and dense rather than stretching out over nothingness. It’s technically multiple levels than being overworld I guess.

I didn’t get Breath of the Wild.

The character designs are better than I remember, but thet still seem a bit generic. Maybe it’s just because we didn’t see their character yet though.

Despite common sense I bought The Hundred Line at launch, but thankfully it is indeed a very solid game. To the point I spent 25 hours playing it over 3 days. It’s more or less a Danganronpa game, so it might be too cringy for some people, but having gained enough tolerance to those things it’s wonderful. Probably better than DR, but it’s apples and oranges in some aspects.

One “problem” is that the game is really easy, and the whole SRPG part is mostly to enchance the story. It’s still really fun, I think that like with Kirby they intentionally wanted a game that anyone can approach. And though I’m just getting started it also does indeed appear to have 100 endings, I ended up on the romance route from my first set of decisions…

I don’t follow the genre, but I heard that apparently Steam is also very inconsistent in terms of banning visual novels. And the fans seem to be pretty dedicated to them, so you have an example right there.

I’m personally all for “everything goes”, since the adults only settings exist, which might as well double as “disturbing content” filter. At the same time, it’s Valve’s choice what they want to host, and I don’t know a good balance of “reputation vs freedom”, which they realistically have to keep.

What’s up with Darkwood’s popularity recently? I know Pyrocynical made a video about a week ago, but I started it before that, because of a friend recommended it to me like a month ago. And I think I saw it mentioned elsewhere somehere inbetween too.

I generally don’t play horror games, so Darkwood scares me enough that I only play for maybe half an hour during daytime. Might take a month to get through.

Darkwood and Disco Elysium, as games recommended by friends. Darkwood scares the crap out of me, maybe because I’m more alert to sounds in general. Disco Elysium is very interesting, but a tad slow, and not as engaging as other games.

Most of ny playtime now is Dark Souls 3. I only played 1 and 2 before, and this is about what I expected, more, slightly better and different Dark Souls. I’ll probably replay it more than DS 2, but that depends, because I might prefer 2’s less linear progression.

Also, still grinding supports I want to see (which is a lot) in Fire Emblem Revelations on bus rides.

Overall great, but the movement, mainly during all the backtracking, just wasn’t fun enough to carry it. You have a dash and that’s it, the charge dash is too situational.

It might not be Metroid with Shinesparks and such, but maybe up the default walk speed at least? The rest of the game wasn’t outstanding enough to make up for it either, besides the map being very open, even for a metroidvania. I like how there are 3-4 ways to enter the area with the Dream Nail.

I still play my 3DS on bus trips all the time, and trying to find people IRL who recognise it. There aren’t many here.

By far my favourite console ever, if DS and GBA libraries (and ease of modding) are included. I didn’t even get through the most recommended games, let alone the obscure ones (like an Atelier-like game made by the Etrian Odyssey devs, Nora and the Time Studio I think, it was weird but interesting if somebody wants to try)

Don’t actually care for the 3D effect by now, but I’m happy it’s there, if only for showing off to people. Fire Emblem feels made for dual screens, and EO was literally so - I’m hoping they’ll manage without them. Besides that, mostly just good game library.

I’m really hoping someone will step up once the second-hand sales start going up, though it might be hard to emulate the 3ds itself on a small handheld like that.

The demand should be higher compared to other systems you can easily experience on PC or even Switch emulation.

That’s a pretty specific game I’m surprised I recognise. Not a good one, but an interesting one.

I played the 3DS one (unless there more) as one of my first 3DS games, and I just couldn’t get into it. To put it simply, it wasn’t clear what I should be doing, even when I understood and did the objective.

The developers who made Big Rigs probably wouldn’t have the budget to make an AAA game nowadays. A better comparison would be indie games, and there’s more of them (or it feels like it) due to easier development & distribution. (Which does involve shovelware). Even excluding Indies, AA games without subscription models are plentiful too.

Edit: (AAA games are a better example of being worse, I haven’t played them but comparing Assasin’s Creed or Metal Gear back in the day to now is better to show the bad practices. Thankfully, like I said, there’s just a ton more games and you don’t need to play the crappy ones)

Had it for a few years now, still playing it, on the bus and such. Including DS games, and maybe even some of GBA library, I’m not even halfway through my backlog for it. The favourites would be all the main Etrian Odyssey games but there’s so much other good ones. Radiant Historia is budget but has some cool ideas, Fire Emblem (besides Awakening, I actually disliked it more than Birthright, didn’t play Revelation yet), all of the Shin Megami Tensei games… and I’d add Kid Icarus or Mario 3D Land so it’s not just JRPGs.

So you just explained why it’s actually a no.

The devs are making Project Terra, so eventually
