Sorry - I'm not trying to pick a fight I just thought you misunderstood something

I mean this in the politest way possible, but I think you've misread what @matthijs-den-daas.bsky.social said. They're saying that just because some disabled people beat a game that does not mean all disabled people can beat a game. They didn't say anything about gen AI

All UPROPERTY Specifiers Sample code, screenshots and comments for all specifiers, including undocumented ones.

If you're comfortable with C++, adding a custom picker to a property is pretty straightforward. @unreal-garden.com has a nice explainer here: unreal-garden.com/docs/uproper...

Not even remotely correct. FF16 is not a competitive game, the whole goal is to destroy the crystals not steal them back, the main character is not the "True King"

Seconding this one!

I like it, but I'm pretty biased since I worked on it ๐Ÿ˜†

Oh, yeah! If it's part of the premise or basic knowledge about the game (like DK getting costumes is a major feature!) then I don't consider it a spoiler, even it's a departure from the series.

Though maybe someone would be surprised that the final boss is DK's dad or something and that'd be a spoiler to them, I dunno lol

18.06.2025 20:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But that's *generally* speaking. I don't think DK: Bananza will have any significant plot other than DK wants his bananas and Pauline wants to leave ๐Ÿ™‚

If Nintendo has a twist ending where Donkey Kong dies at the end of Bananza, and you told me before I played I'd consider that a spoiler

18.06.2025 20:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think every new game is its own thing and you can play like it's your first ever experience with the series - that doesn't preclude you from having the story spoiled

18.06.2025 20:26 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Like I'd consider it a spoiler if you told me at the end of DQ: 25 that the villain was actually your dad because if it's a meaningful twist within that entry's story, even if the story beats are the same as the other 24 entries in the series

...unless the villain in *every* game was your dad

I think you can have spoilers within an individual story regardless of the series lore, though I guess it'd have to be a somewhat engaging story and I personally am not expecting any deep story within DK: Bananza

"Hey boss, I fixed that issue where a random fault _might_ cause a crash?"
"Oh good, so the car won't crash now?"
"You're not gonna believe this, but..."

I'm jealous! When did you place your order? I placed my order on May 10th and it's still stuck on "Preparing to ship"

How's the taste? I'm trying to diet more and having a food that instantly fills you up sounds great

If you like shoegaze at all, maybe My Love is Cool by Wolf Alice?

I hope it's not the price for all of the games!

If they're going to be evil, better that they're incompetent I guess?

Unfortunately most of the genres you listed I don't play too much (and my backlog is so large that the only one I've play on this list is Stasis ๐Ÿ™ƒ) but hopefully there's something there that looks interesting to you!

In terms of lo-fi/retro cRPG's there's Space Wreck. I don't know much about it, but the few reviews I've seen look positive

16.03.2025 21:39 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I've bought and haven't played either yet, but I've heard good things about Caves of Qud or Streets of Rogue.

If you like indie point-and-click adventures, there's Stasis: Bone Totem. Caveat: it's in isometric 3D so I don't know how well it will run on older hardware

Depends! What kind of games are you looking for?

Just saw Mickey 17! Loved Robert Pattinson as multiple weird little guys!

Completely unrelated to anything going on, I find the claim that any group protesting Elon Musk is funded by a secret cabal laughable and wouldn't believe a word out of his mouth

Unrelated to anything of course

This is tough because they're all great lil guys, but I'd have to go with 3
