I was able to beat it on level 1 but doing level 2 and reaching and dying to the boss left me utterly exhausted.

Yeah the game is certainly better than the story, but I enjoyed the 'in game' story elements a lot than the, uh, real world parts.

lol see you next year, those games are pretty longfinally got over the early game "hump" of Fire Emblem Engage, the bit where you have all the tutorials, story setup etc and can finally settle into the game proper. this is usually the point where I know a game is for me or not, if I've been bitten by the bug to complete it.

I started playing Pokémon Emerald bcz it’s the most recent game I can reasonably emulate on a television (I’m not trying to fuck w dual DS screens) and I have gotten sooooo hooked on itAlso took a break from it today to continue my Psychonauts replay and it’s every bit as good as I remember

it's a lot of fun! Apparently it is called "generation 3", and I played gens 1 and 2 when they came out but haven't played anything since (apart from Snap for N64 a year or two ago). So little has changed btwn Silver/Gold/Crystal and Emerald that it's very nostalgic for me

i got distracted by wario land 3 on switch.
it's surprisingly great! one of the first "troll" game, in the mario maker sense. there are many places that tempt you with a huge coin, but getting it sets you back half a stage.

Not playing it YET, but maybe sometime later in the year when it gets discounted - Wanted: Dead sounds like a mess, but that kind of mess that fascinates me. https://www.polygon.com/reviews/23598212/wanted-dead-review-steam-xbox-ps5

big part of my problem is addiction to ng+. i should finish my first Persona 3 Portable playthru in the next couple of days, then i think i'm gonna do Cold Steel 1 and 2 as ng+, then finally have a first go at 3 & 4, until the next thing that distracts me from this plan
― satori enabler (Noodle Vague), Friday, 17 February 2023 06:32 (one year ago) link
i will not be playing this because i'm not in VR world (yet? ever?), but apparently the gimmick is that it tracks your eyeballs and brings the enemies closer to you EVERY TIME YOU BLINK

i imagine the health and safety warning at the beginning of this game is very long and involves signing a waiver on any injuries sustained that might involve not blinking for long periods of time

Finished "Guardians of the Galaxy," which was great, going well above and beyond what a game like this usually offers. Really well written, both dialogue and story, looked cool, fun and honestly affecting, too (at least to a softy like me). Only problems I had were, well, problems. Multiple times I had to restart the game after I killed every enemy on screen but the game didn't progress, and I ran into a good number of other glitches, too. Most of them were minor, which is why I'm surprised they were never ironed out. Still, minor is minor, and aside from those game-killer glitches, easy to overlook, given all the positives. Overall: B+.

Well, actually (pushes up glasses), I would never eat popcorn while playing a game, because not only might it fall between the couch cushions, it could make my controller greasy and otherwise clog up the gears. Popcorn: B-.

Use chopsticks to eat popcorn IMO.

i am not one for judging and everybody shd do their own thing but imo listening to music over the top of a game's soundtrack is reprehensible barbarity
― satori enabler (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 18 February 2023 11:36 (one year ago) link

xxpLol I thought the same when Microsoft introduced that as a killer feature on the original Xbox. Though I did play Quake 2 and 3 with a Ministry CD popped in on occasion and it was good.
― circa1916, Saturday, 18 February 2023 15:37 (one year ago) link
Thought I’d cop some flack. It’s game by game for me. Yakuza fits the bill (kinda mindless fun), the last of us two is the opposite. I know what I want out of my time. A beer, some jrpg nothingness, and a truck through Jason Molina’s discography atm. Perfect cocktail for my Sunday afternoon
― hrep (H.P), Sunday, 19 February 2023 03:07 (one year ago) link
Don’t really play arcade games so have to make do with what I have. Quality of music ties into it too. Dragon quest xi got the no music treatment for a few hours till the repitition started driving me crazy. FFVII obviously is a no outside music game. Yakuza music is just…. Eh, fine enough, but I’d rather listen to something else

Just found out that in Marvel Snap, you can't gain more than 1000 boosters per day... guess how
― Nhex, Sunday, 19 February 2023 19:27 (one year ago) link
yikes. what level are you?
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 19 February 2023 19:29 (one year ago) link
2,942. Been playing since late October, and I'm only 14 cards short of finishing Series 3
Yeah the addiction is pretty bad with this game. Kinda glad I don't gamble with money in real life... If I hit the 50th Season Pass level I feel like the cost has been justified enough for me to pull the trigger on that, and I usually land around lvl 100 by the end of the month
Matchmaking is still brutal after you get into Series 3 - the see-sawing and slow climbing is really painful - but I have to admit I've at least been lucky with rare card pulls, got several Series 4 and two Series 5 cards which some people never get

everytime i play someone with ultron or wong i get incensed
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 19 February 2023 19:57 (one year ago) link
Bring Cosmo for Wong. If you have turn priority, you can snap before you place doggo and usually win
Ultron's weakness is that they have to play Patriot and then a Mystique or Blue Marvel before turn 6 to make it effective, so you have a chance to Enchantress/Rogue
But unless you're running a control or Sera deck who wants to include more than one tech card? It's weird but you gotta try to predict the meta
― Nhex, Sunday, 19 February 2023 20:14 (one year ago) link
teach me senpai
i'm running a destroy deck, what can i swap around: nova, angel, bucky, carnage, wolverine, venom, brood, killmonger, sabretooth, deathlok, shang-chi, death
― POLIZISTEN VERSINKEN IM SCHLAMM (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 19 February 2023 20:28 (one year ago) link
I stopped doing Ultron and my optimal 4/5/6 turns are now Wong/White Tiger/DoomIf I don't get those draws, I end up with Ironheart/Odin/Blue Marvel as alternate options
Wong/Ironheart/Odin is a really funny combo if you appear to have a weak stance going into the last couple turns
― mh, Sunday, 19 February 2023 21:20 (one year ago) link
do you have Wave yet? if you get her and kill 4 things before turn 5, you can drop Wave on T5, then Death + any other card on T6 (usually Aero)
Brood and Sabretooth are OK for this deck, but i feel like they are so-so options. Hood is better if you have him
I would swap Angel for Yondu, his discard ability for some reason counts of a destroy for Death. bit of a sidegrade since it can help the opponent accidentally and you were probably going to kill Angel anyway
IMO Venom is only good if you have Taskmaster or Arnim Zola to duplicate him on turn 6, or if you have a location to abuse him like Bar Sinister
Wanna go crazy high roll? Put Squirrel Girl in for more destroy targets, and Moon Girl to get that delicious double Death on turn 6, but you'd have to be able to kill at least 6 cards for that work (9 minus 6 = 3-cost). So the plan would be something like T1: Squirrel Girl, T3: Killmonger, T4: Moon Girl, and get 3 more kills before T6. Remember enemy kills count too. This strategy is hilarious with Wave because the Deaths cost zero if you can make all of this happen in order.
Death is such a great card... you can even slot her in discard decks if you have Sif/Ghost Rider, and Lockjaw/Jubilee draw decks
― Nhex, Sunday, 19 February 2023 21:34 (one year ago) link
xp The 1/2/Ironheart/Wong/White Tiger/Odin curve combo is always ridiculous
Blue Marvel seems kinda off for an On Reveal deck but hey if it works, it works!
― Nhex, Sunday, 19 February 2023 21:36 (one year ago) link
ok, i swapped up to try out: hood, nova, yondu, bucky, carnage, wolverine, killmonger, wave, deathlok, moon girl, Shang Chi, death. I might swap up moon girl and venom if this doesn't feel right. Let's see.
