played Halo: Reach with Veronica and I was absolutely adamant about taking the warthog wherever I could possibly fit it.

what if there are canonically two Noble Sixes and they both operate as a single psychically-linked unit and nobody in the entirety of the story ever acknowledges or questions it because the two are so highly skilled and efficient at their job that it only works in their favor
anyway this is my second playthrough. I played it through once on normal and now weāre playing it on heroic and itās extremely good. Halo: Reach is a good game. Iām too lazy to write a long article about the Halo games Iāve played thus far, but I like the series as a whole.
I also think the Skirmishers are extremely cute and they are NOT the same as Jackals the Skirmishers are Tāvaoan and the Jackals are from Ruuht though they are of the same family of species.

Halo Reach is excellent. Iām a big fan of how down beat it is.

Halo: Reach is really good at making you feel very small while still letting you perform extraordinarily badass things

hell yeah this is EXACTLY what got me into marathon and bungie games as a whole

halo is the best shooter because the power fantasy isnāt being a grizzled white man operator dude, itās being a 7 foot tall trans woman facing overwhelming, crushing odds and still managing to pry victory from the plasma grenade covered jaws of your cruel and cunning enemies

Doom Eternal (PS4): beat the first boss, then immediately deleted my save and spent the next hour or so re-completing the first two stages. not sure why, really- Iāll only end up deleting it and starting over when I pick it back up it in a couple of months.
Dragonās Crown (PS4): completed the first few levels, then deleted the save
Earth Defense Force 5 (PS4): as above

I played about 15 minutes of Frostpunk last night and it took me a good chunk of that time to figure out the UI because I havenāt played a strategy game/management sim in like 17 years.
So Iām pulling Haterās move and deleting my save and starting over.
Terrible game title imho

Finished beating The Last of Us and the DLC on Easy and then deleted it from the olā HDD. Refresher course done.
Hot on the heels of that I proceeded from there to play the hell out of, uh, that SpongeBob remaster? Itāsā¦look, itās not the most sophisticated game in the world, and they didnāt even get Clancy Brown to voice Krabs (to be fair to their not-very-good sound-alike, heās way better than their fake Ernest Borgnine), but itās also way better than it has any right to be? For a game from 2003, no less.

started up on elite dangerous again
I want to go exploring but right now I only have the sidewinder which would be totally fine, but Iāve forgotten a lot about the game (and I didnāt even know much to begin with) so for now Iām going to do some space trucking to raise money for an asp
Iām trying to figure out how I want to handle my home station and stuff like that or if I want to go full long distance exploration but thatāll come later on
itās still fun and I like doing the space trucking thing

Snipperclips is one of the very few recent co-op games weāve not liked
Puzzle co-op is an inherently flawed concept IMO because if Player A is better at solving the gameās puzzles than Player B, either Player A eventually solves every puzzle in a row and Player B gets frustrated, or Player A waits until Player B find the answer which sucks for everyone
The other half of Snipperclips, the shape jank management, is novel for maybe 30 minutes
Itās telling that we got tired of this game after 1 hour while weāre still not bored by the repetitive Cook Serve Delicious 2 after like 60 hours?

Playing Drillland Iām interested to notice that I often am doing great for a long time and then lose all 3 of my lives not immediately but in rather quick succession.
This game, unlike the GBA one, doesnāt seem to give extra lives for points? Makes enough sense, but making those post-level 2 runs is looking pretty dicey!

This is interesting! My partner and I have really enjoyed Snipperclips (though weāve been going through it slowly, unlike the dozens of hours weāve put into Overcooked and Moving Out over the last 3 months), but then sheās better at puzzles (and spatial reasoning) than I am and Iām more versed in videogame bullshit than she is, so we often collaborate pretty evenly.
I just picked up the Layton Switch game in hopes that itāll be fun to solve together (we do a lot of crosswords and shit), so itāll be interesting to see if this holds. It does make sense that puzzle games are harder to enjoy co-op if thereās a skill imbalance.

This is mirroring my experience, am tempted to use power ups but am not even done with lv. 1 clears and would feel dirty. I like that you can buy Shenmue style useless trinkets to stare at the lovingly rendered early aughts 3D models.

I think as long as thereās a balance of interest a skill imbalance isnāt too bad in a puzzle game. An ex of mine enjoyed playing through Testament of Sherlock Holmes with me because the adaptation was interesting to them (as a Holmes fan) but the puzzles were super hard and maths/cypher heavy (the kind you need pen and paper for). Weād have a nice back and forth of gameplay and plot.
Snipperclips is definitely one of those games that is ruined by skill imbalance though. It usually just devolves into friendly griefing.
I loved Testament. C&P was also great
A friend of mine and I have a running gag about how the Holmes VA pronounced āArsene Lupinā in Nemesis.
