  There was space to unpack the bad there. The gameplay was some of the most generic imaginable, coming as a sequel to one of the most original games of it’s generation, the plot was a mess, the characters are poorly written (spend the whole game hyping up two of them seeing each other for the first time since the original, then when it happens, there’s barely a conversation? What a strange choice), there wasn’t much to like.

  Like, it wasn’t merely “I loved the original and this didn’t meet those expectations” it was “this is not a good game”

  This reminds me of that Russian woman who subdued and bound a burgular to a chair, after which she fed him only dick pills and kept him as a sex toy for a week.

  I should risk breaking into Russian homes, I think

  There’s a reference I don’t see nearly enough. Shame about neo twewy, though

  If you want more SM64 there’s a world of mods for it. SimpleFlips, a former speedrunner now more general lets play streamer has been supporting that community for years with events and it’s resulted in tools and mods some of which are incredible. Lots are just more of the same, but then you have examples like BAZR which turn the game into a roguelike deck builder, and it works really well. Highly recommend

  Is this… not AI slop?

  I think there’s a pair of such in Minnesota who share a single body with two heads. I vaguely remembered hearing they got married, but according to wikipedia… Only one of them got married. That must be an awkward sex life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pickmon to Pickmos⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a natural state of the industry. For every big name series, you get a wave of [series]-likes. There are Mass Effect-likes and Call of Duty-likes and Disco Elysium-likes and Soulslikes and the list goes on and on.

  Nintendo has had a stranglehold on creature catcher games for decades and the fact that there’s slop is only news as it relates to the palworld lawsuit. We’ve already had temtem and casette beasts and many, many more, for years. This is an anomaly, like soulslike games getting the amount of media attention they did, not in that there are copycats, but that we’re paying attention to the copy cats.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Game Pass for indie games: meet Indie Pass, a $6.99-a-month subscription launching with 70 titles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fact that payout is based on engagement is kind of disappointing. Was hoping this would be a good middle ground for indies putting out first games or trying to make names for themselves to get their feet in the door, but it sounds like that probably won’t be the case, and thus, I’m not sure what problem this subscription is trying to solve.

  That being said, it might be a fun way to ensure everyone in a group has a copy of a multiplayer game to run on a Friday night

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  iirc, the steam survey data isn’t always well distributed, and so it isn’t the most reliable. Sometimes most of the surveyed are in China and the swings are more relevant to usage there, and then when the next survey comes out the shift is more based on demographic than broad trends. That being said, we will been seeing consistent growth on linux usage across the board for months so I don’t think this is a fluke

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fewer People Playing Fortnite Is Just One of Epic's Many Problems, Analysts Say⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish cooptimus was better maintained. The “Online multiplayer: x-y players, LAN multiplayer: z-n players, combo multiplayer? Yes/no” is so simple and easy to execute and yet nowhere else does it.

  Idk if this is the case on modern console physical releases, but having these numbers on the box, and correctly represented, used to be a hard requirement for getting your game onto a platform. N64 games had it on the front of box. PS2 games in a set of details on the back. It’s such a nice quality of life informational feature that falls between the cracks on steam because of how tags are done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fewer People Playing Fortnite Is Just One of Epic's Many Problems, Analysts Say⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. New set every Thursday

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fewer People Playing Fortnite Is Just One of Epic's Many Problems, Analysts Say⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still not over the statement that consumers shouldn’t need to know whether AI assets are in a game or not, and Epic won’t be doing that even if Steam does. Couldn’t help but get in their own way every step

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon wonders what went wrong⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Afaik, most ED is caused by being out of shape. The penis is basically a blood balloon, and your heart has to work hard to keep it inflated. If you aren’t doing any sort of cardio, you can fall below that threshold. Luckily, that means with some cardio, most of the time it can be reversed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sources: Nintendo is planning a new Star Fox and a major Zelda remake this year, but no 3D Mario | VGC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Still waiting for a new F-Zero (99 was appreciated, but not a new game, or at least a rerelease of GX with online multiplayer).

  I’m just happy Nintendo stopped hating their sci fi franchises enough to let Metroid come back

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon Promotes Shrimp Farming⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, forgive my ignorance, because I really don’t know what I’m talking about, but isn’t it possible to use oysters and/or snails to filter and clean your tank in lieu of a mechanical filter? Or does that have a lot of issues I’m unaware of along the way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nippon Ichi Software announces Nippon Ichi PC Games service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I imagine that’s doable easily enough, but in 2026 I imagine demand for physical copies of PC games is pretty low. Not that many people have disc drives anymore. DRM might get weird as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nippon Ichi Software announces Nippon Ichi PC Games service⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Tl;dr: because physical version bonuses (art books, acrylic stands) haven’t been available to PC players, they’re adding a service where, by buying a game directly through their own online storefront on PC, you can also get those physical items

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Heavily modded SRB2 inspired by early versions of the game⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As a reminder, this game, SRB2, is a Doom mod. Also, a derivative mod, SRB2K (kart) is one of the best freeware classic mario kart-likes in existence. The devs have moved on to Dr Robotnik’s Ring Racers, but SRB2K is the goat in my heart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That last note. Ughhh… Don’t put fear in my heart. Every generation it’s “all you have to do to come out on top is not step on your own dick” and every generation these massive companies manage to find at least one way to fuck up spectacularly. Steam ISN’T just doing nothing, but even if they did, it would be a lot better than most of the major players most of the time

  Ooh this reminds me of getting almost every pokemon, one from each family, just had a little level grinding and breeding to do, all on AS, before my 3DS died and I lost all of it due to Nintendo’s bonkers save protections. I had the SD card for the longest time. Haven’t made a catch em all attempt since.
