Yeahhh, anytime it goes adjective to noun I’m like 😬

Other than PC, the SNES probably had my most favorite games, but the breadth of the library on the DS was fantastic. Once I got an R4 card and was able to stop carrying a dozen carts around, I was on it all the time.

230m copies is an insane bar to clear, even for this juggernaut. I’m sure Rockstar’s expecting some headwinds on the price, but nothing major.

Funny you say that, because the generally accepted style is Black and white. Here’s Microsoft’s style guide for another example.

Generally speaking, capital “W” White tends to have supremacist overtones in print.

I help run a medium-sized Discord server, and community-supported software has made it a fun place to tinker.

That said, in an era of AI-generated content, I like the idea of chat rooms as places to interact more than I like Discord itself. I find more authenticity on Discord than on Reddit or other large social media platforms, but Discord itself isn’t good on balance in terms of the bad actors in brings to my server versus the tools it gives us to handle them. It’s a constant game of whack-a-mole with the spammers that harass my users.

I prefer to invest in chat rooms/servers than places like Lemmy because I know a successful Threadiverse would get swallowed by the Dead Internet. Async communication platforms have authenticity challenges chat rooms don’t.

87 on OpenCritic. If I’m being honest, that’s quite a bit higher than I was expecting after playing the demo. The gameplay felt novel for about three fights before it quickly started to feel like extruded third-person shooter product.

Unless I start hearing really strong things about the story, I’ll probably be waiting for a sale.

I have never understood this. Heard it with Undertale, too. One can always just ignore the weirdos in the fanbase?

I got absolutely sucked into Mewgenics the past month, still playing that. It doesn’t help that no other recent releases have caught my eye, and there aren’t really any on the horizon other than Mina the Hollower, which still doesn’t even have a release date.

Cinematic style as in it’s heavy on cutscenes, or that you didn’t like the art direction? If it’s the former, that’s been the general orientation of the genre for a little while now.

You could try something more gameplay-oriented, like Octopath Traveler, Shin Megami Tensei V, or Rune Factory.
