Cape Codder

The only thing I like about wplace so far is that it exposed me to a huge number of Splatoon nerds that apparently live in my area.

Obviously there's also a chance that they just picked a random Ukrainian city in the middle of nowhere to draw their OCs in, and that's somehow even weirder...

Dialogue from the game Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (1 out of 2) Atsuro: That's the girl from last night! She seemed weird then, but she's kinda cute, huh? Protagonist: Not THAT cute.

Dialogue from the game Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (2 out of 2) Yuzu: C'mon, you guys... what's all the whispering about? You two are such goons...

Finally got to play Devil Survivor, and I swear internet slang ruined so many older things for me...

If I had to guess they're targeting erotic games that use disclaimers how "it's all a roleplay and everyone in this story is 18+" while characters are obviously meant to be minors. And I don't even think it's a bad idea, but it's so poorly written I doubt it'll be used for anything good

ESRB rating...
Hoped you guys being UK based means my Switch collection is safe from looking awkward with spine text being all over the place 😓

I obviously haven't finished it yet and there's a chance of it falling apart down the line, but based on things I've read it shouldn't be the case.

Randomly picked up Caligula Effect 2 a few weeks ago and I'm so confused by how practically no one talks about this JRPG. Extremely unique combat, really progressive themes with a great cast of characters and amazing music. You would expect people to talk about it as much as they do with E33...

Still massively prefer Bluesky over Twitter, but god every time I open any big post on here the comments are always full of people with the worst case of "bean souping" and this just makes me not want to use it :/

That one screenshot of a post encouraging people to read books still haunts me...

Had to stop taking antidepressants without gradually decreasing the dose due to financial problems and now I feel like a baby that doesn't know how to walk, probably the worst case of vertigo and imbalance I ever experienced. I expected it to be bad, but not in this way lol

My 2025 in gaming so far, I started tons of games this year, but barely finished any, so it's kinda embarrassing (⁠´⁠-⁠﹏⁠-⁠`⁠；⁠)

Doing my best to dodge Mount & Blade nowadays because I know it will consume me...

I remember back in the day it was THE game in my area, everyone would have their own bootleg disk with some modpack they would trade with other people so I feel like I spent 1000s of hours on it overall.

I genuinely feel like this might kill the game. Even Nintendo aren't going $80 for all of their games for now. The Outer Worlds 2 looks amazing from everything I've seen and I'm extremely excited about it, but I'm not sure if many people are willing to buy it at this price

Not sure what to think about Geoff Keighley hyping up 3 games made with Gazprom money during SGF yesterday. Just feels kinda yucky :/

Definitely waiting for some brighter colour option, hopefully light grey or white. Honestly getting really tired of all the black consoles...

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at its concept feels a lot like a Monolith Soft game. Only a couple of hours in, but it really reminds me of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. The whole Gommage thing even sounds like something straight from that world. Really excited to see more of this game.

Oblivion Remaster is pretty good so far, feels like a huge graphical modpack you would see for Skyrim, bad UI and all.

There are some weird graphical problems (mostly with reflections), but overall it's a really nice upgrade and I hope it makes more people check out one of my favourite games.

This huge banner at the top was made specifically to annoy people like me. It physically pains me to look at it ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Calling myself an Insider now!

#MarioKart

Finally, Lego God of War Adventures!

Star Ocean 4 made multiple who watched me play this game leave during some Lymle moments just from how weird they were, making everyone uncomfortable, so honestly fair. I hope everyone involved in the writing of this character is in prison now...

Still my favourite Zelda game and I'm totally not biased by it being my first...

Eh, we get plenty of games using patents of big companies and this rarely leads anywhere. I still think that the main reason we don't see similar systems is bc they fit really small amount of games and add nothing but dev time

Even its creators seemingly had troubles implementing it in the WW game

I hope one day people will realize that this system wouldn't work/benefit in 99% of games and this patent doesn't stop you from doing something really similar. Because I'm so tired of everyone acting like them patenting Nemesis killed progress in gaming or something..

Always had mixed feelings about Octopath games, they look nice and I see them being praised all the time, but for me character/companion interactions are one of the most important aspects in JRPGs and when it comes to this OT2 is nowhere near something like Chrono Trigger which is a shame..

It bothers me a lot that so many people compare Avowed to Skyrim when it's actually just Dark Messiah of Might and Magic 2...

good luck! 🙌

This world desperately needs more shorter JRPGs, really enjoyed first two Ys games for how "compact" they are, even though sometimes there was a bit too much backtracking for my liking

Hope this means we are getting new DQIV-DQVI remakes one day too. I was never a big fan of the first trilogy, but DQV is still one of my favourite games and it's a shame that the only readily available version we have is old mobile port (⁠-⁠_⁠-⁠;⁠)

To be fair what Garriott talks about kinda stopped being a thing by the next year and even more so in 2000. With more big RPGs releasing, games like Fallout were more separated from games like Diablo. It's just we did a full circle after some time, which I guess bound to happen.

Honestly I was always a bit sad that RPG lost its meaning, especially after 2014~ when levels and equipment got big in every other genre so now everything is an RPG, but ultimately lack the "role play" element

Hope with how popular BG3 is we'll see a comeback of slay/steal/sway RPGs
