Does CO let you roleplay a communist disco cop who sweettalks everyone into his bidding despite being a total idiot?
It is to my understanding that CO is closer to being a JRPG than an RPG, with little in terms of choices. Which to be fair, a lot of them are inbetween, but makes comparisons pointless here since these two are on opposite sides of the spectrum.
- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles 1 week ago:
I expected potentially shitty management of next gen Valve employees to ruin Steam, not this.
Worst case scenario if it get worse, what will the alternatives be in the future? Since most stores use these processors, would a store need to open up without them, or can the current ones decided to stop using them? I assume Steam won’t pull out even if they could, since it sounds like financial suicide when most of the customers are there for convenience.
- Comment on Ubisoft CEO responds to the Stop Killing Games petition, stating the publisher is 'working on' improving its approach to end-of-life support, but that 'nothing is eternal' 2 weeks ago:
Half of the soulslike appeal is the world design and exploration, which I assume AC is all about, as I haven’t played any. Elden Ring also explicitly gave people summons which make the game easier for almost every fight, so they can be approached by more casual players, and it worked.
Lastly, Dark Souls fans are tryhards that will tell you you’re playing the game wrong for using magic, summons, or sometimes even a shield. Dark Souls 1 for instance is way easier early if you have the Heal spell, and the game’s practically begging you to learn it by giving you all you need before the first real area. The “Prepare to die” slogan was introduced after DS1 hit mainstream.

Doesn’t Lemmy have a ton of tankies on some instances?
If it’s fine because it’s a different instance, doesn’t that apply to different 4chan boards?

- Comment on Open World Games: yay or nay? 2 months ago:
I only really like STALKER I think, because it’s generally compressed and dense rather than stretching out over nothingness. It’s technically multiple levels than being overworld I guess.
I didn’t get Breath of the Wild.

The character designs are better than I remember, but thet still seem a bit generic. Maybe it’s just because we didn’t see their character yet though.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 27th 3 months ago:
Despite common sense I bought The Hundred Line at launch, but thankfully it is indeed a very solid game. To the point I spent 25 hours playing it over 3 days. It’s more or less a Danganronpa game, so it might be too cringy for some people, but having gained enough tolerance to those things it’s wonderful. Probably better than DR, but it’s apples and oranges in some aspects.
One “problem” is that the game is really easy, and the whole SRPG part is mostly to enchance the story. It’s still really fun, I think that like with Kirby they intentionally wanted a game that anyone can approach. And though I’m just getting started it also does indeed appear to have 100 endings, I ended up on the romance route from my first set of decisions…
- Comment on Developer of 'non-consensual sex' game withdraws it from Steam after bans in the UK, Canada, and Australia 3 months ago:
I don’t follow the genre, but I heard that apparently Steam is also very inconsistent in terms of banning visual novels. And the fans seem to be pretty dedicated to them, so you have an example right there.
I’m personally all for “everything goes”, since the adults only settings exist, which might as well double as “disturbing content” filter. At the same time, it’s Valve’s choice what they want to host, and I don’t know a good balance of “reputation vs freedom”, which they realistically have to keep.

According to google, they need to birth one calf a year after a 9 month pregnancy, so they are pregnant 3/4 of their adult life, that sounds close enough to constant. Also, did you need to make 5 different comments?

Don’t we help bee populations by building homes for them?
Also, and I did wonder about this, what do homestock want out of life more than food, getting laid, and taking a walk or run? I think even the smarter ones like octopuses just want to get food and live until making kids.

Darkwood and Disco Elysium, as games recommended by friends. Darkwood scares the crap out of me, maybe because I’m more alert to sounds in general. Disco Elysium is very interesting, but a tad slow, and not as engaging as other games.
Most of ny playtime now is Dark Souls 3. I only played 1 and 2 before, and this is about what I expected, more, slightly better and different Dark Souls. I’ll probably replay it more than DS 2, but that depends, because I might prefer 2’s less linear progression.
Also, still grinding supports I want to see (which is a lot) in Fire Emblem Revelations on bus rides.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 29th 10 months ago:
What’s up with Darkwood’s popularity recently? I know Pyrocynical made a video about a week ago, but I started it before that, because of a friend recommended it to me like a month ago. And I think I saw it mentioned elsewhere somehere inbetween too.
I generally don’t play horror games, so Darkwood scares me enough that I only play for maybe half an hour during daytime. Might take a month to get through.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Hollow Knight 10 months ago:
Overall great, but the movement, mainly during all the backtracking, just wasn’t fun enough to carry it. You have a dash and that’s it, the charge dash is too situational.
It might not be Metroid with Shinesparks and such, but maybe up the default walk speed at least? The rest of the game wasn’t outstanding enough to make up for it either, besides the map being very open, even for a metroidvania. I like how there are 3-4 ways to enter the area with the Dream Nail.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Nintendo DS 10 months ago:
I’m really hoping someone will step up once the second-hand sales start going up, though it might be hard to emulate the 3ds itself on a small handheld like that.
The demand should be higher compared to other systems you can easily experience on PC or even Switch emulation.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Nintendo DS 10 months ago:
I still play my 3DS on bus trips all the time, and trying to find people IRL who recognise it. There aren’t many here.
By far my favourite console ever, if DS and GBA libraries (and ease of modding) are included. I didn’t even get through the most recommended games, let alone the obscure ones (like an Atelier-like game made by the Etrian Odyssey devs, Nora and the Time Studio I think, it was weird but interesting if somebody wants to try)
Don’t actually care for the 3D effect by now, but I’m happy it’s there, if only for showing off to people. Fire Emblem feels made for dual screens, and EO was literally so - I’m hoping they’ll manage without them. Besides that, mostly just good game library.

That’s a pretty specific game I’m surprised I recognise. Not a good one, but an interesting one.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Monster Hunter 10 months ago:
I played the 3DS one (unless there more) as one of my first 3DS games, and I just couldn’t get into it. To put it simply, it wasn’t clear what I should be doing, even when I understood and did the objective.

Had it for a few years now, still playing it, on the bus and such. Including DS games, and maybe even some of GBA library, I’m not even halfway through my backlog for it.

- Comment on Yakuza 5 Remastered 1 year ago:
I installed Proton GE but I don’t think I changed any settings, so I thought default worked. Unless I started setting GE out of habit… Either way, one sucky thing is that audio between cutscenes is sometimes scrambled, even cutting the video short. Seems there is no fix.
