Yes, those are lagspikes from the server IIRC.

I‘ve decided it‘s time to catch up in the gacha games I‘m playing, all stories have been pretty good so I‘m having a good time in Genshin/Zenless/WuWa

All of them could do with native res and 60 fps, I hope that‘s not something that needs serious engineering power…

Others: Hopefully a new Mario or Zelda game, that‘d be so hype!

Me: Hopefully Switch 2 updates for all Xenoblades, that‘d be so hype!

(And Fire Emblem please lol)

The appeal is that it‘s a great game with beautiful art that runs on just about anything for an affordable price with no modern fuckery attached.

But if metroidvanias aren‘t your thing, it‘s just not your thing. I‘m also not super obsessed with them and played the first game a fair amount but not that much; I do, however, get why people just want to be hyped for something that doesn‘t spit in their face in return for once.

I‘m gonna continue Salt & Sanctuary this weekend, which is basically 2D Dark Souls, like, heavily inspired by Dark Souls.

Other than that, I‘ve picked Outpath back up which is Minecraft graphics combined with Forager gameplay, I suppose? It‘s hard for me to describe.

Maybe I‘ll start Peak with my gf if she wants to. She‘s kinda scared cause she read it‘s hard, I have no clue, I‘m going in blind lol

With levelup‘s 0.8 out of 10.0 there seems to be a typo they probably wanna fix

I think it was Satisfactory, started and finished it this year and it‘s a big game. Any game outside of Steam I can‘t see the playtime so I wouldn‘t know.

The original was one of my personal top 3 stories, really captivated me. Problem is that I still remember the twists, and 95% of the game‘s charm is the plot to me so I won‘t get a remaster.

I envy anyone who gets to experience this for the first time with uptodate graphics though.

But I do hope they touch up those iceskate-y run animations, they look super awkward compared to the rest shown lol

I hope it‘s everything fans hope for, they‘ve had to wait for too long

Not OP. I certainly think it is slower, especially with the absence of 200cc, but I also don‘t make much use of grinding/walldriving so I‘m likely a lot slower than I could be. I just generally like MK8 more since a lot of the tracks really have that „this is a filler track between tracks“ feeling to them for me. YMMV.

It happened to me towards the end as well, but thankfully reloading my savefile got me back on track. Your comment made me aware that just cause everything looks bizarre it‘s not necessarily intended and saved me from suffering the same fate lol

I‘ve picked Manifold Garden back up and man… this game is so utterly unique, I recommend anyone give it a shot next sale. Even if you‘re not into puzzle games, just seeing what it does visually will give you a unique experience, I reckon.

Can you elaborate? Would jacking up the graphics, animations, and sound mess with the atmosphere? It‘s been a hot minute since I‘ve played it so I‘m not sure what the issue would be.

That‘s a nice catch I‘m gonna spread at any opportunity in the future

One has to be Crusader Kings III considering the amount of time that died in that game. I did Lingua Franca (world domination) when mods and savescumming voided achievements, my whole empire fell apart literally 20 seconds after I achieved world domination lol, could barely hold it together to achieve the feat.

The other one is probably Rocket League. Low skill floor, skyhigh skill ceiling, wonderfully designed esports game. If you could still freely go in and out of casual games, I‘d probably still play it. But I peaked and don‘t feel the need to play ranked anymore and casuals started to feel like ranked.

After these two I can probably name ten more but I can‘t say which takes a top 3. League of Legends, Counterstrike 1.6, Battlefield 3, HITMAN, Dark Souls II (yep lol, I could probably draw a map of this game from memory), NIOH 1/2, Monster Hunter World, Sleeping Dogs, Muse Dash, all these games killed countless hours with fun, but it‘s hard to put one above the other. Apart from League of Legends, that one takes the rear.

If that‘s the case then I guess I shouldn‘t be as sceptic cause I liked Infinite quite a bit

Aren‘t the original devs gone or am I misremembering?

And „community-based engagement business“ is…?
