according to this guy, the dump with the on-disk instructions was probably from a post-Ultima rerelease, and the ā€œalternateā€ dump was likely the original (though the core game file is reportedly identical in both cases)

thanks for the tip with the controls btw

That’s crazy. It should be N for north, S for south, E for east, and W for west. Later, it should be U for up, D for down, L for left, and R for right. Those are the only controls that make any sense.

You know what I was having a brain fart, I forgot I had a joker that made all cards count as face cards. (And I was misreading the text when I googled it earlier).

An unforced error on my end and I never made the connection during the run

the edf 5 ending stays true to its simple 2000 roots by being some text over a monochrome still image

Playing the Zelda Links Awakening remake with my kid. He can take the gut punch of the ending.
I think

The dungeon themes go real hard, I love them. Pair them with the OG art IMO

But then the remake look is all plastic amiibos. I assumed this was for a story reason (spoilers) but then Echoes of Wisdom used the same artstyle which renders this point nonsensical. Oh well.

Still, replaying Link’s awakening for the 100th time, I’m struck by the charm of this one more than usual. It’s the Zelda that started to have weird NPCs… which is the one thing that really makes the series stand out in my mind. Tingle existed thanks to Link’s awakening

every time they reveal a new character theme i’m reminded of sonic adventure again

in case i haven’t considered recently that sf6 is basically a dreamcast game that just happened to be made 22 years late

Got that Deep Rock Galactic Survivor game. Haven’t gotten past the fourth level of the first campaign but it’s pretty fun and runs well on my deck

I had a lot of fun with Hades a few years back, so I downloaded the sequel for Switch last night

Maybe I’m just not in the mood for it right now, but my first few runs with Hades 2 have left me thinking… okay, so it’s just this? Kinda again?

Also feel like for being a sequel to such a big thing, Hades 2 isn’t making as big a splash as I thought it would? Though maybe that’s a reaction to the fact it’s been Early Access forever and it’s not out on MS or Sony platforms.

Also this place is the main place I read/hear about video games, so maybe it’s just that no one here really cares about it

Maybe I actually just want to play other games and should come back when I’m feeling this particular appetite more

I ended up not like promise mascot agency as much as I thought I would; the core driving around a neat little island and occasionally stopping to send your dudes out to on jobs from a menu works nicely, but it really bloats itself mechanically and narratively over it’s 15ish hour run time. by the end I was left feeling scattered and cold on it, with all the parts that grabbed me initially fading into the background

I felt exactly the same way when I played it in early access. It does feel to me like basically an expansion pack on the first game… Which is great if you want more Hades, and I thought I wanted more Hades, but it turns out I’ve pretty much had my fill. I don’t think the basic combat is satisfying and rewarding enough for me to put in whatever amount more time it would take to get through this one.

usually if I’m feeling that way about a particular sequel I get it on a different platform. like I got Hades 1 on Switch and Hades 2 on Steam

I got Hades 2 but absolutely could not handle the main character talking some exposition to herself at regular intervals like it’s Horizon. Was 1 the same?? Man

I just tried playing Biomutant and basically every bit of it just felt bad. Annoying voiceover with bad writing. Floaty gamefeel. Just a bad experience. A shame, because this one’s trailer excited me a few years ago but it is not living up to my hype
