This is true, it’s the one game I was very familiar with that felt really off on the Mini
This will all be fixed tomorrow with Bonk’s Revenge.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is necessary. Metro Exodus is alright if you want to blow gently on the embers of your decade-past fling with S.T.A.L.K.E.R..
Sounds like it could be worth my while. I’ll pick it up, play it a little bit while I write paragraphs for my final paper.
The narrative is interesting only in how reactionary it’s become next to the older, also Ukrainian GSC game. Retreats from Stalker’s catastrophic social formations into family against the world and traditional social roles as a salve against chaos, which may or may not be interesting read against the turn in Ukraine’s politics in the last two decades, or talk about the shooter’s core values post-Modern Warfare.
really vibing with dodonpachi rn, it is really fun and the the giant boss machines are super cool, its hard to get past stage 4 for me!!! i really enjoy the cave pre-rendered sprite aesthetic but this is when they were like all regular pixel art and its very nice to behold
Have you ever tried Batsugun? I think you’d vibe with that if you like Dodonpachi.
i have! it’s a little less intense than id prefer but i can def see its appeal 
I mean, Iceman’s appeal is pretty undeniable


elevator action returns w/ @synth… we got to the last stage!!! such a beautiful game with an amazing soundtrack. im just downloading the arrange soundtrack off of soulseek rn
After a hiatus of several weeks I finally sat down and powered through the last two chapters of Like a Dragon. Overall it was really the characters that kept me going, long after everything else started to lose appeal. But I will basically say that I really liked it and heartily recommend, even to people not well-versed in the series.
I need to play like 5 short games as a palate cleanser though.
getting @synth to play resident evil 6 mercenaries mode with me bc im a sicko… fuck yes that game owns

Played enough Super Mario 3D World in 3-player co-op to have the credits roll and uhhh geez that game just builds in constant inadvertent co-op griefing as an unavoidable game mechanic hey
I felt that way about the New Super Mario Bros games, which I still think are some of the most embittered co-op experiences I have ever had.
Co-op only in the sense that you are technically cooperating, but each extra member makes the game that much harder
forcing my roommate to watch me get to stage 4 of espgaluda and stage 3 of ddp doj in exchange for looking at the infection he has on the back of his head to see if it’s less gross looking than usual, he said “this is nauseating”… same bro
NSMB really should have been enough to tell me to leave my ex, our play styles were wildly incompatible. She wanted to collect every coin, I wanted to never stop running forward
“t-spin, bitch” -nika, while playing tetris 99
dragon quest builders is a lot more fun on a handheld. also, it looks incredible on the vita! probably one of the best looking games on the system
