Unicycles's review of Donkey Kong Bananza | Backloggd It’s 2030. Nintendo finally makes a new F-Zero. It’s stunning. It sings. It’s developed by the Mario Odyssey / DK Bananza team. Auto-acceleration is on by default. Auto-steering too. Opponents are cap...

Sure, I wrote about it a little bit here

Yeah, I get what you mean. Though for how cheap it is, I find it hard to criticise too heavily. I had a fantastic time with it and felt it had more skill expression than the other racing games on the console.

Nice! It's a total joy screaming through those tracks. Such a delightfully weird game.

You NEED to and then you need to talk to me about it because I am quite literally obsessed

I think I'd enjoy Mario Kart more if it relied on skill rather than abusing the strict rubber-banding and insane catch-up mechanics.

Legends ZA just has no friction at all and they simplified an already simple single-player experience further.

Bananza is the most brainrot game I've played

Objective and true tier list of Switch 2 games I've played since owning the console.

Caves of Qud and UFO 50 are some of the best games I've experienced in 35 years of gaming. I didn't expect these to be the reason I bring my Switch with me everywhere.

@capcomusa.com Give me a milfy Ada Wong you cowards

Resident Evil 4 Remake DLC - Ada Wong's flat voice acting continues in this otherwise fantastic extension to the main game. A more nimble, condensed way to play the excellence that is RE4. A good challenge, too.

I'm having a great time with this.

Any metal band formed after 2010 can't play...all they know is breakdown, date underage girl, "blegh", autotune they vocal, pit karate and cry

AI has ruined endlessly doom scrolling through insta reels for me.

So that's one nice thing this trash technology has done...in a roundabout terrible way.

It's deceptively great! It was gifted to me and I didn't expect to love it so much. Amazing how much gameplay they got out of one button.

Amazing stuff

A sophisticated conversation about Resident Evil (please watch before you play Requiem).

Oh exciting!

I took in SO much more on a second read. It was incredible...and I never usually re-read books.

I remember Gibson saying something like he *wanted* to leave people confused with the rapid pace of tech. Wanted to make us feel like folks in the book scrambling to keep up.

Fair. I was telling her how much I loved Neuromancer and how Gibson isn't afraid of readers feeling lost, almost intentionally sometimes. She said Hail Mary was more her speed and didn't like the sounds of Neuromancer at all 🀣

Hahaha I totally misread your post. Sorry! Based on some of the things she was saying, it tracks with your criticisms.

I got into a fight with a nasty robot and ended up having to chew witchwood bark to give me some more muscle.

But things were getting really close so I scrambled to inject my healing serum, but the witchwood made me dyslexic and I ended up falling in love with myself instead

Caves of Qud is 10/10

As much as I love Diablo II, the grind to 99 is absolute bullshit. Never again.

If Discord implodes, I'll miss my little communities. There are few small safe spaces still left online.

But maybe we can revert to message boards and forums. That would be a good thing.

Old forums are such a goldmine for expertise and knowledge. They were also generally self-moderating - if you were an ass on a popular board, you could expect people would be an ass to you too.

Now so much info is "check X Discord!", temporary and not archived. Behind doors.
