I also finished it and was like... hm. I think my least favourite part is that it kinda feels like nothing changed? like what did we do that all for then?

Idk still like the game but I think supergiant just aren't great at endings

Consume Me on Steam did you feel stupid, fat, lazy, and ugly in high school? well i did...but at least i made a life-simulation RPG about it!

Finished Consume Me just today. It's a very silly game that effectively uses the medium of games to tell a story. The way the time management encourages more self destructive behaviour as you go on is super interesting.

If you like Warioware-style minigames and time management, I recommend it.

Eris talking to Melinoe in Hades 2: "Whoa, Trouble, you're huge! Like you and Nemmie had a child! Which, come to think of it, is just about the worst thing I've ever imagined. And I've imagined a lot."

Melinoe talking in Hades 2: "Eris... That was one of the worst sentences I think I've ever heard."

Nemesis from Hades 2 with her dark hair wet from the bath and draped over her body. She looks great tbh.

A screenshot of my first successful run's summary screen from Hades 2. I have the rank 5 aspect of melinoe twin blades, the luckier tooth, flood gain heroic level 2, nitro boose epic, addled strike epic, ripple effect and beach ball all pinned in the mid screen.

I finished Hades 2, and it's like, about as good as the first game? There are some things I like more and some improvements but overall both games are fantastic, the sequel is just bigger and still just as good.

Also, predictably, I like Nemesis.
Some silly screenshots below, no big spoilers.

A screenshot of my Nintendo Profile that only shows Mario Kart World and its playtime, which reads "played for 160 hours or more"

I think this counts as finishing Mario Kart World, insomuch as you can do that.
I like it a lot. The online being mostly route tracks sucks, the open world is terrible, but the kart racing is super fun and it's so, so refreshing to not be playing Mario Kart 8 after 10 years.

I think this is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me. Used up all my luck for the year on this.

it absolutely will if you enjoy it as much as I have been

I love long videos, but if I need to explain something, I would never say "please watch this 2 hour hbomberguy video" because it is insane to assume anyone has that much time for your explanation

"Escapist slop" will always exist, of course, but I don't think it's the only kind of game that has been made by a long shot.

No shade to this person but this list would be so long it would take several tweets at least. If you play games other than recent AAA releases there are so many artistically "good" games that it's hard to even remember them all.

Depends on what you consider artistically good, but still.

there's kind of a heaven level in vampire survivors, so depending on your definition bullet heaven really does exist

have you played vampire survivors

This is going to devastate so many studios filled with good people. Leveraged buyouts should be illegal.

it just makes me think of this which makes it less scary tbh

A deserved second place tbh. Getting owned earlier and pulling the shock was actually skill.

this is the way I found out about fire emblem among us

I first read it and was like... fire emblem cosmetics in among us!??? and that would be amazing tbh

I have fallen behind on posting my silly mario kart clips so I'm starting a thread right here. If you hate Mario Kart you can mute this thread and if not, prepare for clips of me bagging shamelessly

Behold, one of my most skillful clips, in which I use a bullet bill in second place

When you're mean to me, this is who you're being mean to

Save 20% on Merge Maestro on Steam Combine 100's of unique emoji based tokens in this roguelike merge-builder! Find ever more creative combinations of Tokens and Powers to fuse unique strategies and beat this ever more challenging twis...

I beat all difficulties of Merge Maestro, a fun little merging roguelite. It has some interesting synergies and is very simple and relaxing. It's still getting balance updates and new content, and overall it was a fun time. Also very cheap, great value given the amount of fun I got.

it's because the tiny town has smaller germs that get into your body more easily

I'm going to make my own Persona game one day. it'll be called Bearsona, cost less than the Persona 5 skins in Overwatch 2, and be less homophobic than the actual persona games

The game was apparently in development of some kind since 2017, but... The open world exploration definitely feels undercooked, misguided, or just not thought of as important.

And if I can think of ways to improve it that the highly experienced MK team couldn't, that's weird.

It feels wild to mix these in with the others. Weird difficulty isn't that unexpected given they've scattered them all over the place and can't control where you go, but these ones are purposefully harder and not marked in any way as different.

MKW's open world design overall feels sloppy tbh

Some people swear by virtual boy emulation on 3DS, say the games are good and it's more comfortable. But doing it this way is like... It's nice the original form is preserved I guess, but you have to stay subscribed, so it's not even a full product. A peripheral where you can't buy games for it.

I will probably not buy a Virtual Boy peripheral unless it's somehow very cheap. It's just not worth it to buy a peripheral more than like, $20 that's only usable with a subscription service to play a list of 14 games that could only theoretically expand to 22.

It is absolutely hilarious for Nintendo to finally do Virtual Boy re-releases after skipping the 3DS, and to make it require a peripheral. If you wanted to purposefully avoid people playing and re-evaluating these games, this is how you would do it.

You had a whole console that could do this!

Happened to get my first bubble tea in ages while the Demon Slayer collab at Chatime was happening. I have never seen Demon Slayer but Tanjiro's Earl Grey Matcha is pretty good.

It tastes pretty strongly of earl grey but has a nice matcha flavour at the end of each sip.

I was just starting to learn unity around about when the big install fee thing happened, and was thinking the same thing, so swapped over. Unity just doesn't inspire confidence, and Godot is pretty similar.

I may at some point use Unreal but Godot has been good to me so far and easy to learn.

There are so many reasons it's bad.
It's a fountain of misinformation and spam for bad actors, destructive to our trust in reality, incredibly good for harassment and making fake photos and videos for harassment, ruins internet searches as a source, eggs on mental health issues, etc.

Even if it wasn't destructive to our power grids, bad for local water supplies, built on theft, not actually 'intelligence', and incredibly wasteful of land and GPUs, I still wouldn't use AI because it doesn't even make you more productive! It's all smoke and mirrors.
