Man can’t fight any fighter his own age because he knows he’d be fucked, so he challenges older men out of their prime. What next? Is he gonna start challenging kindergartners to fight him so he can feel superior?

Got addicted to AudioSurf 2 over the weekend. Have a small handful of songs on microSD on deck and it’s pretty fun. Otherwise, did some Shotgun King and not much else besides Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone. This quarter of college has kinda drained me because of 2 freaking classes I hate.

So, how does one cross post to another community/instance? I feel as though this could fit in with the beaver community on lemmy(dot)world, but I have absolutely no clue how to cross post.
- Comment on Luanti (formerly Minetest) v5.10.0 out now bringing UI updates, fancier shaders, renaming work 5 days ago:
I also tried at one point, but gave up because I couldn’t get the set up I had made for it to work. This was maybe less than a month ago. I hope for gamepad support in the future so that I can finally have voxelibre (formerly mineclone2) on deck without fiddling with the controller settings at all.
- Comment on Let's discuss: Mascot Platformers 5 days ago:
I personally have a soft spot for 2D platformers from the Sonic series since I got a copy of the Sonic Mega Collection on gamecube when I was young and loved it. I don’t care if some games do a better job of having worlds where they’re speedy like Green Hill or slow like Carnival Nights (or whatever it’s called), I just like running across the screen. Same thing applies to the 3D games (even the flop I still think was a pretty good game: Sonic '06). Hell, I’m the type of guy who absolutely loves the beat-em-up style gameplay they introduced in Unleashed just for the Werehog sections. The gripes I tend to have are more or less either skill issues or being unable to play around the glitches in the case of '06 (despite not having played it in over a decade).
I’m also big on the Ratchet & Clank style 3D shooter platforming (only played 1, 2, size matters, Into the Nexus/Pirated Booty, and am only in the beginning of deadlocked). I love some of the more wacky weapons (plasma whip, bouncer, black hole gun, etcetera) you can get in the series, which allows me to not get ultra bored part way through the games. The stories also capture me, for the most part, in a first playthrough. They’re not something I take super seriously, so I tend to have a good time with them. Probably my biggest gripe with the game, from what I can remember about Into the Nexus, is how short it felt in comparison to the original trio and size matters. Getting a copy of the first in the PS3 series of games soon, so I cannot wait.
I also had a pretty good time this year with Corn Kidz 64, a shorter platformer that plays like an n64 title in how it controls. Fun enough mechanics but my biggest gripe is how in the end I was left wanting more, in a “I want a sequel” fashion.
Though I did have the misfortune of playing Macbat 64 this year too. It just felt too generic and shovelwear, in my opinion, for me to like it. Play as a bat in small levels with simple puzzles and not much exploration, random mario kart inspired race level in the middle of the game, and also a 2D level based on kirby. I don’t remember the story being much better either. Personally not a game for me.
- Comment on Yakuza creator Nagoshi says the era of game size being most important is coming to an end 5 days ago:
I would absolutely love it if games started going back to the original Borderlands 1 style maps/areas. The type of maps that were more small-medium sized area that were completely self-contained sections of a larger world.
- Comment on Yakuza creator Nagoshi says the era of game size being most important is coming to an end 5 days ago:
Definitely one of the reasons I absolutely love the original Borderlands. Large world, but broken into a lot smaller chunks/maps. More games doing stuff like that would be absolutely perfect.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 2 weeks ago:
From what I’ve seen, it looks good. Can’t play the demo for the 2nd game, but from some of the footage I’ve seen, it looks fun. Thanks for the suggestion.
- Comment on In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment? 2 weeks ago:
Vib-Ribbon.
It’s one of the coolest concepts I’ve seen for PSx. It’s a rhythm game that loads into the console’s ram, allowing you to swap the disc to one of your CDs and could generate unique levels for your songs.
While looking it up I did find there was a PS3 port, but I don’t know how good that is or if it has the same custom level feature or not. I’d love a modern version that looks visually similar but allows you to either input a playlist from a service like yt or use your own local files to generate unique levels.

Had absolutely no idea. Good to know.
- Comment on U.S. Copyright Office rejects DMCA exemption to support game preservation 3 weeks ago:
Probably depends on the game. I’m pretty sure more popular games or games with a sizable amount of dedicated fans, like the TF2 community, have probably already found a way to make their own private servers or at least are working on it.

- Comment on Recommend me your favorite linear games! 4 weeks ago:
Brok The Investigator. There are multiple endings, but each different ending has a linear enough progression, even if the first time you have no clue as to what ending you’ll get. The only thing you need to do for different endings is making different choices.
Simple enough game set in a world where the poor, slummers, live in the polluted, rundown slums while the rich, drummers, live under the high quality dome. You play as a crocodile (alligator?) who is a detective, a slummer named Brok who lives with his teenage cat son Graff. Not saying much more because spoilers, even though the drummer and slummer and the polluted world thing are kinda minor spoilers despite learning about them real quick in chapter 1.
The occasional puzzles aren’t too hard to figure out, at least I thought so for all but one. And if you don’t like the combat mode, I’m pretty sure there is a way to turn it off, though I’m not sure how it affects gameplay/choices. Though, the upcoming DLC (whenever it releases) doesn’t look like it’s gonna be linear since it’s all about the games combat system and adding bonus challenges to fights. So I’d probably avoid that if you aren’t playing the game for the combat.
- Comment on Which unplayed game in your library are you most looking forward to playing eventually? 5 weeks ago:
Looked through all of my games on Steam Deck and forgot I had a few. None of them I can’t say I’m really interested in right now, but I’m somewhat excited about Psychonauts because I’ve heard good things about it.

- Comment on Steam players no longer require a Microsoft Account to play multiplayer 1 month ago:
Sometimes I wish Steam would just change their policies to force all games on Steam to make it so any content that requires a 3rd party account would still work if you decide to just use your Steam account. Last time I checked, the MMORPG Dofus didn’t require you to use an Ankama account on the Steam version (unless that’s changed), so why can’t others take that as the cream of the crop example of what to do?

Got back into Yooka Laylee after a fairly long hiatus. Still on the first 2 levels because of the high amount of exploration and things to do, so I’m not far at all, but definitely having fun.
- Comment on 2024 is about 75% done. Let's recommend the best games of 2024, but with a twist: only the ones with no paid DLC! 1 month ago:
Peglin (Steam, iOS, Android, Switch)
Just released 1.0 a month ago. Simple enough gameplay loop. Throw orbs at pegs on board to fight enemies. Go down different paths on a map until you reach the boss fight at the bottom, upgrading and getting new orbs and relics along the way to help. Repeat 2 more times and you win. Has 20 levels of increasing difficulty after beating your first run, but locked behind standard progression.
Dungoens and Degenerate Gamblers (Steam)
Released beginning of last month. Play Blackjack against opponents, but you each have a life bar. Score higher than opponent to deal damage equal to the difference in your scores to them. Various non-playing cards and other nonsensical cards will appear as playable cards. Things like a get well soon card, SD card, a 21 card, and many more can be found. Go until you either lose or beat the final boss on one of two different routes to be taken.
- Comment on What do you think about random encounters? 1 month ago:
I personally don’t mind them, but I personally think the best kinds of random encounters are ones like pokemon randomizers where you step in the grass in a modded gen 3 game with every single pokemon in existence in it and it randomly pulls from the list of 1000+ mons in order to give you a feeling of true randomness in team building. Especially since you aren’t able to predict which creatures you will get.
Having a random table containing only a few different encounters isn’t anywhere near as fun and exciting as randomly having gods spawn as your enemy as a beginner in a randomized game followed by the weakest creatures in the game a moment later.
- Comment on Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 22nd 1 month ago:
Sadly reaching the end of Pokemon Unbreakable Ties beta 4.
Also ended up downloading Frogatto recently because I’ve heard some good things about it and so far a couple levels in it’s fun enough. Not fun enough that I’d be giving it glowing reviews across the board, but fun enough to play on occasion.

I wish I knew my first ever Dead Money playthrough that I could spare Dean. Didn’t know that he’d get pissed off if you pass any skill checks with him. I was kinda surprised when he wanted to kill me because I clearly didn’t pick up on him wanting me dead.

The problem is they’re such a large and recognizable company that they could probably switch to making and selling malware and everyone would still buy it without thinking twice. Humanity is full of idiots.
- Comment on YouTube diluting my recommended videos feed with AI-generated “music” that pretends to be made by an actual artist 1 month ago:
It can definitely work if you’ve trained it right. It’s how I discovered many of my now favorite vocaloid/utau/deepvocal/whatever songs, amongst other groups outside of that vocal synth genre. It definitely isn’t doing me super dirty in the music department.
- Comment on YouTube diluting my recommended videos feed with AI-generated “music” that pretends to be made by an actual artist 1 month ago:
In a way, this sounds similar to someone using a DiffSinger or ENUNU voicebank to make music, but without having to write all the lyrics word/syllable for word/syllable on individual notes and change the notes they’re on individually because you pitched them wrong. Also without the backing track too.
Either way, interesting enough that you can even do this kinda stuff. Especially since any time I’ve played around with that kind of AI, it’s always never turned out even remotely halfway decent in any way.

This is one of the absolute greatest reasons to support opening most everything in a new tab (as long as you don’t end up like my mom who at one point had over 100 tabs on her phone). Doesn’t matter if it’s a link from the same website, from a search engine, or whatever else there is. New tab.
