It apparently does have one, so that’s cool.
something in my brain clicked
or broke
I’ve stopped seeing Rogue Corps as a twin-stick shooter, or a Contra, but for the aggressive action RPG it clearly is
they want you to get the stupidest gear with an assortment of random, garbage stats and attack aggressively like a goddamn moron, which explains why your dodge is an easily spamable, super strong move, because they want you to mash that goddamn shit like it’s going out of style
…I think this game might be good

Last I saw there was. You complete objectives to get new ships, and have to survive as long as possible. Each warp just takes you to a new random area. Not sure if it’s still in the game (it was when it was in beta) but I feel like I played it after release. Dunno.
I had the itch to play more dark souls lol so i did
The movie adaptation would have to be something like the wizard, the last starfighter, the matrix, tron
I mean they really put a bird’s nest at the end of the asylum that talks to you so you could be lured off a cliff
I get it everyone im sorry dark souls i love you

Playin’ Warframe again.
Latest update added a little quest, an expansion and refinement of lich system. Mostly, it takes a bit less time to gather murmurs, but the biggest change is there’s planetary progression for liches so matchmaking for them is fairly reliable as opposed needing a full solar alignment to play with someone.
There’s a final showdown with them now in a brief railjack mission. They get some extra support, and a bunch of damage resistance* to extend the fights. I’ve heard a lot of people complaining it leads to fights lasting more than a minute, with some taking almost a whole 5 minutes (which is about what it took my brother when he killed his last lich after the new update dropped).
*I still kill them pretty much immediately with Banshee. People still tell me she’s too squishy to play solo in anything past level 30 (lich missions are anywhere from 55 to 95) and requires a whole squad to do anything. I may not have a useful POV on what a reasonable TTK is supposed to look like for these enemies or what to make of their difficulty.

G String has pulled me in and is sopping wet with dystopian vibes. Having the megafascist government control its populace with iconic sex and sex services is cool to see as a prominent theme delivered in an understated way. Neatly at odds with the notion of identity where complex personal sexuality cannot factor in. No-one can be more than a sex consumer and only hetmale penetrative lizard-minded sex showcased by the adverts is on the menu. Along a similar vein the only other commodified images are of animals and nature found all over the wallpaper and posters of people’s decrepit flats. This is a world that has lost its ecosystem but will gladly shell out for an IKEA poster to remind them of it. I’m only about 1/5 of the way through but I am wondering if the G string title is intended to be as sexual as it sounds to most people. Like the rapid and pointless display of goods that a G string thread connotes.
Hard not to see the Half Life influence but I think G string does enough to feel distinct. It feels a lot more grounded in modern issues than the somewhat fantastical interdimensional conquest of the combine. The game it really reminds me the most of it is Project Eden (PS2). Very similar environments, densely cluttered, collapsing, and revealing false promises of urban development. Level design could be described as an Urban decay fantasy in both cases. Project Eden has a somewhat inverse relationship to this game as well since one is about descent into the cursed foundations of the mega city while the other pretty much starts you in those foundations.
Controls can feel a little bit too slippery at times and I’m not sure we speak the same crouch jump language in certain cases. The environments are thematically claustrophobic out of necessity but this doesn’t always gel well with Source engine’s more fluid tendencies. This doesn’t diminish its excellent world and scripted mix of the mundane and the horrific. Highlight for me is reaching a blocked corridor and trying to figure out how to get through it whilst the weather warning notes that a meteor shower is falling due to the decimation of the Earth’s atmosphere. What I thought was just some flavour then leads to a meteor blast shattering a nearby window (and half a city block) giving me a way forward but also a look at how little this world cares for anything.

Yeah I’m in Door 5 and completely hooked to the House in Fata Morgana now. It’s good!
Love when games intentionally ruin QoL features like the log book
I have to praise the game’s stories for being generally unpredictable and memorable despite each having 3-4 characters max and leaving you ample time to figure things out. And the OST is phenomenal.
I’ve mostly had trouble adjusting to this game’s glacial pace but I sort of see it as a necessary evil now? It creates familiarity, enhances the climaxes, and contributes to the peculiar atmosphere along with the art/music. I wish it helped bring more flavor to the story. There should be more « flaxen » and phenakitiscopes. I find that the game is at its worst when the slow pace feels the most like filler ; Door 2 was the nadir with its seemingly endlessly repeating scenes. I probably could have replayed all of Umurangi Generations in the same time it took to witness the Beast’s 30 quasi-identical mental breakdowns

Isn’t there another connotation for that phrase to do with genetics, genome sequence stuff? It’s a great title because of its many, disparate seeming meanings.
no I think it’s about tits

I played Robert Yang’s new Big Gay Browser Game that also Works On Phones
I don’t want my thoughts or feelings about it to influence your experience, but I trapped this person with a cupcake in between some sex tents and jizz palms so I’m calling it a win.
There’s a long essay about art and politics and stuff included. Volume on recommended.

I bought a used PS4 and it came with a VR headset. I played The Batman VR game which was bad and then 1/2 an hour of something called “Farpoint” which abruptly made me want to throw up. I was totally fine and then bam, you gotta take this helmet off.
What a weird technology, VR. The immediate effect is so powerful but as far as I can tell it still sucks for games.
