It's less outright scary and more just deeply unsettling and creepy, but Immortality

This is one of those games I always wanted to check out but keeps slipping under my radar. I should get to it at some point!

Interesting! In the central US where I'm at summer break is usually May 20th - August 20th more or less. I think that's part of why I internalized summer being over before Labor Day.

School is still going in Toronto on June 22nd??? Wow that seems late. Schools near me have been out for a month by now. When do kids go back to school, is it not until September?

I hate it because it just makes you feel bad after overcoming a tough situation that should feel triumphant. You survived a tough boss by the skin of your teeth with one person left alive? Well too bad, nobody but that person is getting XP!

Galleria is the #1 game I wish more people played because I want to discuss the plot *way* more often than I ever get a chance to

I've seen a lot of random info already being posted about E33 and I can't start playing until Friday. Which shouldn't be a big deal, that's *one week* late is all! It shouldn't be hard to not post spoilers for a freaking week or more.

Hard to believe but it's only six weeks on the dot until launch day. An entire week less than the time between Switch 1 preorders to launch day!

I just wanted to say thank you for being such a welcoming, genuine person and making the new crew feel like we belonged. Wishing you all the best ❤️

I miss Borders so much. I used to practically live there in college, chilling at the cafe and doing so much homework before grabbing a book on the way out

My one of these is realizing that the weird stylized symbol at the beginning of the Disney logo is actually just a letter D. I somehow didn't figure that out until I was in college.

He looks like a teenager his mom forced to dress up for an event, so he put on his dress slacks that he hasn't worn in three years that don't fit anymore and he snagged a tie out of his dad's closet

It's almost worth it for the music track, but yeah, I agree. One iffy fight and lore annoyance doesn't tank the DLC by any means but almost literally anything else put there instead would be an improvement

I forgot about Numbers! I used to love that show in the first few seasons when they really went hard with using math in cool ways. Toward the end it felt like it had turned into just another action crime drama and they kinda forgot about that part.

I think as a Souls sicko that isolation and loneliness really spoke to me, yeah. I also thought the plot and characters in Magnolia kinda fell off a little bit in the last 1/3 or so, but it's still a fantastic game

They're so good! You have a favorite? For me, Magnolia has better mechanics, combat, and polish - but Lilies really nails atmosphere, melancholy, and story/tone SO well. Really great ending.

Maybe too soon but it would be *gold* to see a playthrough with Steve or someone who hasn't played it before on your let's play channel

Yeah, the skill basically is entirely in build crafting and knowing how to put all the pieces together and craft the best gear and all that (which is extremely complex and difficult!) - while actually *playing* the game involves almost none.

People got used to the way PoE had become a race to become ludicrously OP and clearing maps in like 15 seconds. The power creep will come later!

Is the GVGCast coming back at some point? I miss you all!

I love the world map design and a lot of the ideas, but it also veers into gimmick territory a lot at the expense of platforming and gets too cute

As someone who grew up in the Christian church this is a pretty common refrain. Rarely ever do anything much at all and just kind of trust that things will work out because God is in control, etc.

There's a reason I have over 1000 hours in Path of Exile

I like its loot system! But I am fully Diablo-pulled, so any game with rainbow colored random loot drops makes my brain go brrrr

One of my least favorite tropes of all time is the "I won't kill you because <X> reason" when they should 100% just do it and it would solve so much. I hate in when the good guys *or* the bad guys use it!

If you haven't played A Space for the Unbound yet... do it. It hit me directly in the feels, repeatedly, but it has one of the most beautiful endings to a game I have ever played in my life.

If I recall correctly it only works *after* you start moving down from the previous jump. So you have to time it after you hit the peak.

It has a lot of charm and a unique feel to it but the gameplay, controls, and level design have definitely been surpassed several times since. It feels dated in a way that nothing Galaxy and beyond does.

I get why it's usually seen as a Christmas movie but it's almost solely responsible for why Auld Lang Syne makes me emotional

I'd play the hell out of that. As long as it had plenty of sax, too
