Just a reminder that A Link to the Past Randomizer exists and is also quite fun

I think they said GoG provided technical support or something, right? I imagine there was a clause in whatever they did heavily encouraging releasing it on GoG. In any case, for me at least I much rather prefer it being on GoG than steam just for DRMs sake. I’ve transitioned to always buying on GoG first, rather than steam.

The story was alright for me, up until the twist for Henry I guess. That was pretty awful. Up until then I enjoyed his little arc, even if it did kinda lose the premise that you’re a nobody. The combat on the other hand I actually enjoyed and was surprised when after I beat the game and googled some reviews that people were knocking it. The only issue I had was when there was like 5 guys on me, other than that I enjoyed it.

Interesting. Next game I play that has one I’ll report back and show you how it went lmao

Every time I try to create anything with any of these “never before seen levels of customization” character creators I end up feeling like dr Frankenstein with the monsters I create. Basically every game I play it’s just the default model with like heterochromia or something lol. I have no idea how some people create the works of art they do.

I took faulty to mean buggy, but that’s really just semantics. Either would affect your view of the game pretty similarly.

I mean you basically stated it as a matter of fact. You didn’t go into any explanation of your thoughts and just dismissed the game as buggy and boring in a single sentence. On a post about how they potentially plagiarized pokemon that seems to be a little inflammatory.

Why did you so casually dismiss it? Just because you don’t like a game doesn’t mean it’s boring with a lot of faults. The game was at 20k players average on steam last month, putting it above valheim, bdo, rimworld, risk of rain 2. That doesn’t really speak to me as a boring game.

The literal endless abundance of things to do. Idc if my place is a closet if I’m never in it. Obviously if you’re raising a 5 person family it’s harder, but if you’re solo or DINK then why wouldn’t you

I get the sentiment for sure and nothing looks worse than seeing 5 of them knocked over on a sidewalk but they were pretty nice. Here in Seattle it’s hilly as fuck so walking down a hill to downtown then scootering back up was nice. Hopefully a good bike share can replace them.

Nah I covered that with my second paragraph… Basically anyone over 100 viewers is like that.

I watch forsen a lot on twitch, and his chat streams at a hundred messages a second so no one will ever see your individual chat. It’s awesome because it’s like a hive mind at work. Everyone is spamming one emote, and then something on stream happens and then every single chatter simultaneously starts spamming another emote in reaction to that. It’s fun.

For me smaller streams aren’t fun because everything’s (generalizing here) super moderated. No unrelated chat, nothing negative, no backseat gaming, etc. It’s basically post something positive about the streamer or the game and that’s it. Of course if you’re watching your buddy with three other guys not applicable.

This was moments before I remember my knee pain

An argument I’ve heard against it is that it’s overly harmful against non-western religions, specifically Islam. A pretty common tenet in Islam is some kind of head covering for woman. Banning that is a pretty sweeping reform. Christianity and Catholicism don’t have anything like that, and if you really wanted to wear a cross you could just hide a necklace under your shirt. And Judaism, most non -orthodox Jews don’t wear a yamaka 24/7. So in the end (typical) white religions aren’t affected while minorities are.

Personally for me I don’t care about wearing a religious symbol as long as you’re not pushing your agenda. I don’t care if my boss has a Bible on his desk any more than if he had a copy of dragon Ball z.

I fucking loved this game. I “acquired” it one night just to see how it was and ended up getting completely wrapped up in it and played through to the morning. Immediately bought the whole game next day. Not sure how updates and stuff are but the core gameplay is so much fun.

Every tech article I read nowadays I feel like has the appendix, “which is illegal in the EU.” Lol

I mean, a lot of people. I have a pixel fold I use naked, and when I had iPhones I never used a case. I paid a lot for the phone, I’m not gonna cover it in a piece of tpu. They also just make phones even more unwieldy than they already are. If you have kids I get it I guess.
