Spinda too but well, with all due respect Spinda sucks ass, though this is Pokemon so Im sure it wouldnt take too much to make up for that but the Psychic Pig is funnier IMO

There is a 4th option. Use the CHAD Grumpig with Own Tempo which prevents confusion thus nullifying Norman's cringe strats completely

Dog I literally just saw that too. I know hes probably just distancing himself from the guy due to the controversy or whatever and Im not really well versed in MGS, but would sympathising with an nationalist guerrilla be that "opposed" to the series values? Either way, insane to quote a single rando

Lol. Reminds me of Pokemon Red translating "Counter" (a counter-attack) as "Contador" (a literal counter like, a number to count how many things you have). In that case its cause they just gave em words to translate without context, might be the same here or just machine translation.

Happy Birthday!

'Interfacing Simulators' a list of games by LordDarias | Backloggd Not too sure what to call this sort of game but essentially its a subgenre of simulator all about learning to interface and problem solve with a novel control scheme theres a spectrum from really mini...

Yeah theres so much "X Simulator" garbage its hard to get at the good shit. Anyways shameless plug for my backloggd list about cool Sim games where you get thrown into a big interface to learn backloggd.com/u/LordDarias...

it looks like the thing sonic would break to get a shield

Ah. Thats...eh

I remember reading the book and thinking there was no way in hell it would ever be adapted faithfully. Havent seen this one but SPOILERS : in the book it ends with the main character doing a 9/11 against the organizers of the contest. Im guessing thats changed here

I believe you. I told my Mother about it (shes in her 60s) and she said she still has them every now and then.

Despite joining the workforce and not being in school for months now, I still get dreams where I miss deadlines and shit for assignments. Very cool.

I think the site is just slow, so people are prolly not refreshing their feeds as much

To which I say “It’s Bond mate. Nobody cares about the lore.

Bond's first outing in Dr. No was released in 1962, where he was meant to be in his mid 30s.

He has appeared as seven entirely different people since then and should now be in his 90s. Get on with it.”

LordDarias's review of Hypogea | Backloggd Rather excellent little platformer built around a unique pole vaulting mechanic (although it almost looks more like "Salto del Pastor" from my homeland) that works quite well as a traversal and puzzle tool. As expected from a physics-ish based platformer made mainly by one guy, its quite jank; but not enough to ever seriously fuck with the experience, largely because its a fairly forgiving game.<br><br>The usual wordless storytelling works well enough, largely because your Yorda equivalent (theres a few direct ICO nods funnily enough, so Im not just bringing it up for no reason) doesnt need to be defended from Monsters.<br><br>The collectible artifacts make for a 1-2 punch of being higher skill challenges to reach than the critical path and also provide some insight into the "lore" of this world with ocassional hidden flashbacks to the backstory of the place.<br><br>I noticed in a few of these a few WW1 allusions which might explain why the main character's head resembles a British "Tommy" helmet. Suffice it to say a mass produced army of robots being sent to die in the trenches by humans who could not give a shit about their well being is barely even a metaphor for the carnage of the late 1910s.<br><br>This theme also ties into the usual visual metaphor of the Megastructure as an unfathomably large beast of iron and concrete you can never escape from, which I have to admit, might be starting to wear me out a bit. Its done well here, and in Metal Garden and Lorn's Lure and the like, but its gonna start to get old real fast if the trend keeps up. I know its a cool setting, and most importantly one that is rather cheap to achieve compared to others, but there is such a thing as being overexposed IMO.

Wrote a bit about a short and sweet platformer that just released recently. Quite liked it

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore.

Prog should implement a loading screen minigame. Maybe add some badges for doing well at it

Gonna use save states forever because someone was annoying about it on a public server

Because it wasnt tank controls but on rails for K7 and full analog for SWC. I dont have an issue with tank controls per se (RE4 is one of my favs) but combined with fixed camera AND having to use a dpad in 3D space it mostly just makes me want to go back in time and blow up the PS1 prototype.

Provides a good catch all solution to when the camera wont fucking show you what you want to see. There were even a couple instances of hidden stuff you had to go into FP to see although not enough for my liking. Also I might as well out myself as uncultured swine but I also enjoyed it partly

Camera "cuts" it has in sequence with changes in direction and shit. Ill admit I have a poor track record with those types of games, namely cause I dont like horror games and the aforementioned motion sickness. Being able to go into first person to aim at the cost of movement is great synergy and

Playing through Sorry Were Closed made me wonder why it and Killer 7 seem like the only games to try combining the fixed camera angles with first person view. Maybe it makes people dizzy? I genuinely got more motion sick trying to play RE1 than K7, though thats probably cause of how many more

Finished Playing "Sorry We're Closed". Was pretty good Id say

Dont disrespect the Goat

I joined in mid 22 but somehow my fraud ass got to be immortalized in that particular frozen moment in time cause you needed to sub someone in for the half life review lmao. But yeah its almost a graveyard for formerly active users in there and I know little of the even older oldheads you mention

That seriously fuckin blows. Glad you at least found something else.
