I have a certain potato-based experiment I’d be interested to know the outcome of.
Go on…

FYI, the “O” in “GOG” is capitalized; it stands for “Good Old Games” as they originally made their claim to fame by modernizing access to literally old DOS, etc. games that are hard to run onodern PCs. It doesn’t stand for “of.”
With that said, yes, GOG should absolutely be prioritized, as well as itch.io.

I tried a bit of Aquaria but couldn’t get into it… Thanks for the Gato recommendation. I didn’t know it was CS-like.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 3 weeks ago:
Oh. It’s been literal years so I totally forgot that initialism, but while we’re at it, the second “C” in “CrossCode” is also capital.
It’s smooth as butter, yeah, but I think I would prefer a game focused on a different character class/weapon. I remember some progression of concepts but I guess didn’t really connect the dots (even though I don’t think I looked up a guide more than once or twice briefly).

If OoT could be made to look as good as TotK, that’d be something!

Not sure what “VRP” is unless you just mean ricochet puzzles, but mind you, I did play 95% of the game. It felt just too same-y after long enough (it was the plot and environment that had kept me going), and then I just gave up and finished through some YouTuber’s play-through and I confirmed that I had apparently quit at the start of the final dungeon, because it just felt like… more of the same timing-&-angling annoyances with no more originality. Zelda was far, far more creative and I think the game just could have done more with items or different weapons, or something, though I know much of it is based on your character being a specific class that was fixed pre-game… It just ultimately wore me down, sadly.
Right: *successor, not “sequel.”

Hmm… May I watch you stream Vagante sometime? I’ve been iffy over it for a year or more now because of those reviews. Let me see how you die LOL jk.

Cave Story is undoubtedly the greatest Metroidvania made to date of which I know.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 3 weeks ago:
Too bad the developer duo basically disappeared… I had an idea for a 2-player sequel but they never responded.
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 3 weeks ago:
I really hope the sequel does more with dungeons than just ricochet/geometry puzzles. CrossCode’s incessant use of those in dungeon after dungeon was what made me stop playing.

Slice & Dice is the best dice-building roguelite ever and has a free demo that is only content-limited and allows you to already play an infinite amount of runs. I literally played the demo as much as a paid game for a month until I bit down—so hard that, once, when I had my phone in hand and intended to take a shower, I ended up crouching on the bathroom floor furthering a run for an hour before finally pausing to return to the real world.
Clone Drone in the Danger Zone offers awesome online co-op. Noita’s world is just endless (people are still discovering new spell permutations years later). I will never turn down someone’s offer or request to watch a run of FTL: Faster Than Light.
The AAA world is not impressive to me at all, and if anything gets deprioritized in my book; graphics or a third-person view do not a fantastic game make.

Like what else?
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 3 weeks ago:
FTL!!! And yeah, PP is awesome and so unique!
- Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 3 weeks ago:
Vagante’s negative reviews criticize its too-numerous insta-death traps. What would your reply be to that?

And it’s not that short; the island to me seems to be an actual mile wide in circumference. There’s lots to do in the one environment.

“Encore!” 👏
- Comment on 34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think it will ever even happen because the winning party may just always think, “Good, don’t vote; that allowed us to win more easily.”

What do you mean? Are you implying that the non-spiritual can’t do so?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
TBH, yeah, underarm hair is unattractive in Western society (or at least in the US, I think), so I would probably shave them if I took that route. Either way, it looks more like something one would wear at home: super-casual when one should probably step it up at least just a bit when outside among strangers—but that’s just me!

Hazelight Studios, and all of their fans, would like to have a word with anon.
- Comment on Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days 1 month ago:
Sure, but I’m still talking about overall bugs, quality, and presentation.
- Comment on Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days 1 month ago:
The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy (after applying community bugfix mods) is better; with ZRP, Shadow of Chernobyl was bug-free except for the ending.
Then again, I played the original biggest known as Metro 2033, not the Redux ver. I still think there is more interesting stuff in S.T.A.L.K.E.R., though, overall. The environment is incredible in its natural, unscripted interactions and not… manufactured.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 month ago:
I think of words’ pronunciation as I type them, with no literal audio/particular human voice or vocal range. How do you envision words upon/right before typing?
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 month ago:
Brain damage from stress lol. I find myself occasionally typing “there” instead of “their” and have to catch myself. I always reread what I type before sending so I fix it before sending, but I never made this mistake before. Somehow, over the years, probably from stress of various kinds (and this dates back to pre-COVID), I began to process language aurally and less visually, so if it sounds close enough and I’m not really thinking about what I’m typing, I’ll use the wrong word.
I’ve never typed “payed” before, though, and I see that across Reddit increasingly. It’s just crazy that that and “could/would of” have exploded over recent years.

- Comment on Mini Metro -- surprisingly simple but compelling game mechanics and fantastic UI design 1 month ago:
It had a giveaway on Android, and I think iOS, 5 years ago. It’s certainly one of the most creative minimalist games out there, but I just couldn’t figure out how to get up to higher scores.

Some phones can get hotter (which is bad for battery health) when charging wirelessly.
