• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite "gotta go in blind" games?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dark Souls and Return of the Obra Dinn have already been mentioned, but I’ll also recommend Universal Paperclips. These also happen to be my favorite 3 games.

  “Identify” can also be used objectively in that way.
  OP means “My identity ≠ Latino”
  More uncommon to use it that way nowadays but you could also say “I don’t identify as an American citizen” or “I identify as 15 years old” etc.

  I’ve never heard of TemTem before and plugging it into Google Trends, it looks like it’s not even comparable to Palworld. It’s still somewhat big, looks like 500,000 copies sold. But still doesn’t really compare to what appears to be nearly 20 million Palworld players.
  Companies lose rights to protect their IP if they don’t protect it themselves, so it may be in their best interest to go after the big competitors and pretend they’ve never heard of TemTem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you have sex with a clone of yourself, is it incest?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “designed to be sung to the tune of ‘Home on the Range.’”
  (1) Oh, give me a clone
  Of my own flesh and bone
  With its Y chromosome changed to X
  And after it’s grown
  Then my own little clone
  Will be of the opposite sex.
  (Chorus) Clone, clone of my own
  With its Y chromosome changed to X
  And when I’m alone
  With my own little clone
  We will both think of nothing but sex.
  (2) Oh, give me a clone
  Is my sorrowful moan,
  A clone that is wholly my own.
  And if she’s X-X
  And the feminine sex
  Oh, what fun we will have when we’re prone.
  (3) My heart’s not of stone,
  As I’ve frequently shown
  When alone with my own little X
  And after we’ve dined,
  I am sure we will find
  Better incest than Oedipus Rex.
  (4) Why should such sex vex
  Or disturb or perplex
  Or induce a disparaging tone?
  After all, don’t you see
  Since we’re both of us me
  When we’re having sex, I’m alone.
  (5) And after I’m done
  She will still have her fun
  For I’ll clone myself twice ere I die.
  And this time without fail
  They’ll be both of them male
  And they’ll each ravage her by and by.

  I’m with you on the Gamecube controls, tank controls are awkward but Wii pointing is more awkward. Although the best control scheme I used was a Steam controller on Dolphin (for the Wii version).

  Source Film Maker, 3D animation software based on source engine which was used for games like Portal and Team Fortress 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legend of Zelda⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Phantom Hourglass was my first but Spirit Tracks is my favorite. I actually really like the stylus DS controls (and it’s not even that bad using a mouse on an emulator either) but the main thing I like is the music and story. Music and story I would say are both better in Spirit Tracks than any other game in the series. It also is one of the few games in the series that you can really call a legend of Zelda. She’s there the whole time and the main story focuses on her character arc.
  Just overall an amazing experience with some really dramatic moments, if I had to summarize what I like about it more than the other games in the series I’d say it’s the most “cinematic & dramatic”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨20(23) Games You Should Have Played⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played Pseudoregalia and beat it in a couple hours and though it was kinda meh. Then the next day I was kinda bored so I played it again start to finish. And then I played it like four more times that week. It very quickly became one of my favorite games of all time; not perfect on a first playthrough but one of the best games ever to replay.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you explain the need for three writing systems in Japanese to a person who only has had experience with one?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  About the homophones, it’s also worth noting that English does the same thing. It’s why we have “to, two, too” and “right rite wright write”.
  Just instead of having inconsistent memorized spellings, Japanese has memorized symbols. 同, 銅, 道, 動, 堂, 胴, 洞, etc. all being pronounced the same way = way more need for complexity in order to tell them apart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some RPGs for someone who doesnt like most RPGs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Golden Sun is probably one of my favorite RPGs, very deep combat system where in the lategame you will be modifying your character class in the middle of battles to change your movesets and other cool mechanics. Fairly interesting story as well. It has great GBA pixel art and it does have random encounters.

  Persona 5 is a turn-based RPG that lots of people who aren’t usually into turn-based RPGs tend to like. Simple but satisfying battles, and a story that would have seemed mediocre if it wasn’t for great music and some cool moments which make it really stand out. No pixel art and also no random encounters.

  OMORI is pretty good and has a really good art style. The story is also very good with some very memorable characters and moments, and pretty good music. The combat is simple and probably best described as “not bad”. The biggest downside of the game imo is that despite not being very long (<20 hours) it felt like it dragged on close to the end. It might have random encounters? I don’t really remember.

  Overall I recommend Golden Sun if you are able to emulate it or something (not on steam or switch)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do Steam guides to games need to be vetted better?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody is getting paid to write Steam guides so it’s not like you can really expect somebody to write really good ones for obscure games. I think a stricter guide system would probably just lead to there being less guides rather than better ones. Like under a stricter system, the people who write incomplete/inaccurate guides will just stop posting them, but it’s not gonna convince many people to start writing good ones. You could also look outside of Steam because from my experience, most people don’t really use the Steam guides feature.
