I accidentally downloaded a version of Du Hast back in the day that had a whole bunch of StarCraft unit quotes mixed into it that my dad fell in love with, despite never playing StarCraft. He literally likes it better than the real version lol.

I can third it. It totally feels like you’re playing an RTS but without having to study build orders and practice your micro.

If anyone out there has never played Minecraft with a group you have got to give it a shot. Exploring and building together is really so much fun, it can’t be understated!

Usually I get a few friends to play on a realm or something but they always lose interest after a couple weeks. I just joined a more regular playgroup with a well maintained server, though, and it’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had in Minecraft.

I love me an underrated Bug superstar. In Black I used a Leavanny as mine and it cleaned house. When I played Omega Ruby my Masquerain carried my team and took me totally by surprise.

And God forbid you look for anything involving troubleshooting your home network. Good luck sorting through pages and pages of the same copy and pasted article telling you how to restart your router.

The half life games are right at the limit for me in terms of scary video games. They tread the line just enough imo. I think it’s because it’s not just horror the whole time, there’s tons of non scary puzzles and gun-slinging going on to cool down.

Yeah the irony is that the Fallout games have some of the best environmental storytelling in all of gaming but without storytelling storytelling it’s just like white noise lol

Well I would hope so for accessibility’s sake

My girlfriend and I played through the quest line of where we started in Morrowind (I think?) and had a blast, but once we left we were totally lost! I was really engrossed with the story but all of a sudden we’re just doing something completely different. I was quite disappointed and it left me wondering if we had done something wrong or out of order.

If you like Rimworld the Pete Completes series is pretty good. He puts a narrative focus on his playthroughs which makes them super watchable!

Totally stoked for this! I’ve been craving a good mech game for so long. Pity the Gundam franchise can’t get a decent game.

Pokemon Arceus but the battles are Pokken 🤔

Toads Turnpike, Wild Woods, and the FZero tracks should all be way higher!

I’ve come close a few times. I’m so introverted usually my only friendships are held together through my significant other so if they drift away, so do I. I’ve tried reaching out in the past but it never amounts to anything.

I’m trying to find a new job asap! Last week was really the last straw. I was hired for a technical position but for the past two years I’ve done nothing but punishing manual labor almost entirely unrelated to my job. I don’t mind working outside my job description but the reality is I’ve lost so much knowledge just from being out of practice. I hope it hasn’t ruined my shot at the right job. Its technically possible for me to return to school full time but I’m not sure I could 1) make the sacrifices required and 2) actually succeed. I’ve failed twice already.

I know everyone working out in the field wishes they had a desk job and vice versa, but damn I’d love a cubicle.

The fact that botw and Mario Odyssey came out in the same year is wild. What a great year. Plus Nier on top of that? Damn.

It sure is!

Sounds cool! Really like the idea of an aqueduct boat highway.

I recently joined a Survival multiplayer server on Minecraft for the first time and I am having so much fun. The community around it is so positive I really look forward to hopping on every day haha

It’s so irritating that S/V could have been the definitive Pokemon experience but it ended up being what it was. I guess I can’t really blame them for not putting the effort. I mean why should they when everyone bought it anyway (I did too, I’m part of the problem)

I guess for me there was so much fun to be had grinding out an optimized team by breeding and training them up, and the new games sort of trivialized all of that. Totally understand why, but it took a lot out of it for me.

The open world in them is nice initially, but imo they failed to make exploration rewarding enough, so really it’s like… What’s the point.

I still like catching 'em all but it even seems like they’ve de-emphasized that.

Sorry to rant just an old Pokemon fan who can’t really move on.
