I like that I instantly figured out what they posted and I’m glad even you think it’s waaaay too much lmao
mini healer, a single-player game about being a healer in an mmo party
it’s constructed exclusively of boss fights with unique mechanics for each one. the only party control you have is in telling them which target to attack; otherwise, it’s purely up to you and your heals
it’s really fun. honestly, maybe more fun than actual mmo healing, since there’s some weird mechanics you can do in singleplayer (like, for example, you have no mana regen unless you attack a specific invulnerable enemy to get mana) that are poorly regarded in multiplayer
also you’re given multiple talent trees to pick from, investing in them unlocks new abilities themed around those trees, and you can mix and match 7 abilities to best fit the boss you’re trying to conquer. so there’s a lot of swapping your build around as you fail against a boss and refine your strategy
overall, really solid resource management game. good pixel art too.

If someone could just put a gate around Steam games, say, “Indie PC Games, 2015-2020”, and we could appreciate it as a system, we could dig through for obscure treasures for decades. Just the advances in art production in the past five years among <$200k games are mindblowing.

This adequately articulates my anxiety about the spiralling number of annual game releases.

what’s the soundtrack like, does it still have some brutal snares?
i dunno about you but the only stress i feel is that i can’t just make my living being a trash goblin, snuffling through niche steam releases like a truffle pig

wha was the thing that needed to be deleted?
I’m guessing it was something gross from that Sword Art Online game that was being talked about upthread.
just beat second tutorial tower in tactical nexus! good stuff. i am awful at this game.

really intensely funny in mass effect 2 you can punish looters for stealing during a plague but you yourself are encouraged to steal anything useful you find, even hacking into locked bank accounts

I honestly don’t think I could go back and play that trilogy. I just have to let my hazy, positive memories live undisturbed.
Games had good hangout-itude imho

I have a soft spot for the first Mass Effect because the galaxy map music is really calming and I have really fond memories of doing donuts in the Mako on uncharted worlds and listening to Boards of Canada while fucked out of my mind on dex

Is that the one that introduces digging? I popped my head into that one but didn’t attempt it yet.
The spookiest parts of Control’s world are how you jitter when trying to walk up stepladders or you jump in place. I assume these are glitches, but if so I have never seen what’s actually supposed to happen.
