Have you tried Wonderlands? I really liked it, and would love a sequel/more of that one.

Is that graphite encasing it?

A lot of that same stuff could be said for a lot of other games. Even in the exact same genre (Ori and the Blind Forest?)

My first thought is a dock of some sort for the Deck

It’s still just another Metroidvania. I honestly don’t understand what makes it stand apart from others like Metroid or Dead Cells (aside from the fact Dead Cells is a roguelike)

Damn. Try some more stuff

I meant Hollow Knight.

Sure, but there are other games that have worked with that gimmick before. Maybe not as directly, but still.

I’m reminded of Kreia from KoTOR 2, with all her bullshit about free will and chaos.

Silksong Hollow Knight and Undertale

One is pretty much just another Metroidvania, and the other is way too indie/hipstery for my tastes.

I need to be able to kill things in video games without having to feel bad about deleting pixels, thank you very much.

Edit: I meant Hollow Knight, and I stand by what I said.

It really is just another sci-fi game. But that’s okay.

I’m the first game, you play as Andrew Ryan’s younger clone/son, who is apparently only like three years old by the time the game starts (accelerated aging I think), coming back to Rapture even though you have no memory of it. It’s all weird and convoluted.

I think people like it for the whole spiel you hear in the recording on the way down: “‘No,’ says the man in the Vatican; ‘it belongs to *God.’ I chose Rapture.” or something like that

I’ve heard the original manga in Japan was super hardcore. Like full-on dismemberment, pokemon would actually die instead of faint, and pokemon would regularly attack humans.

Generation Zero has bicycles as the main “silent” vehicle to get around, so you don’t alert the machines.

Parcel Corps (I played the demo a while back, I don’t know if it’s fully released) is about bicycle couriers, in a cool vibrant city. It kinda reminds me of JSRF in a couple ways, as you ride around on your bike and do all sorts of cool tricks, and there’s a funky soundtrack (from what I remember).

Eta: holy shit I forgot about, imo, the GOAT of bike gameplay: Bully. I remember trying so hard to get all the way through Shop class to get one of the best bikes in the game, and doing the paperboy side quest as much as I could just to experience that feeling, and earn tons of money. I ended up getting really good at it too.

Like devil horns style?

So this graph is representative of data over a twelve-year period? If so, that means all the dogs in that graph are entirely less dangerous than anyone would make them seem.

Oh God fucking dammit, you people are here too?!

I’m not into tarot that much (I just like the art usually, doubly so if it’s from an IP I’m a fan of), but if she is or ever was into Neopets, the Neopets Tarot Deck on their merch site is only $22 and is pretty nice.

It comes with a guidebook in case you need tips or instructions on how to start, or just need a refresher on things. The art on the cards is fantastically done, with each card representing what it is extremely well with just the picture alone. Plus, each card is packed full of lore and little nods to different NP plots/characters from over the years. The guidebook tells you what each card represents/means, plus a description of the art and how it pertains to the card, and a bit of fun lore/callbacks (like the Game Graveyard being the representative art for the Ten of Swords card, or Tor being the Knight of Pentacles)

Those are infinitely better

Spaghetti-pocalypse? Spag and sword fantasy?

I don’t like to quote Adventure Time, but Jake did say it best: “sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something”

Meaning just dive on in and get started.

Almost all YouTubers do it, especially video essayists and vloggers. I think they’re cutting out anytime they pause or say “um” to keep the video going so there’s not a lot of bullshit.

But who actually knows, I’m just guessing.
