I picked up Shadow of the Colossus and the Last Guardian in the last sale, started the former. The controls are not as terrible as if heard.
Also trying to finish Edith Finch, I'm going to be pretty strict about playing it in 20-30 minute intervals to try to mitigate my motion sickness.

Also started A Case of Distrust, quite enjoying the noir dialogue and the atmosphere.

999 and vlr were very cool
playing atelier lulua now, the first major release of 2019 afaic
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 May 2019 14:59 (four years ago) link
ooh, what is the alchemy system in Lulua like? I hated the more recent tetris shape ones.
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 22 May 2019 15:02 (four years ago) link
its not the tetris grid, its got a 4-element system. i haven't played the dusk games but i think it might be similar to one of those?
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 May 2019 15:09 (four years ago) link
ive only plyaed the first hour though so maybe it gets more confusing
ok that sounds better at least. I'm just waiting for the original Trilogy to get an eshop sale tbh.trying to wean myself off a dangerous Lumines addiction atm, was starting to see blocks dropping when falling asleep etc.
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Wednesday, 22 May 2019 16:00 (four years ago) link
ive still never cleared the standard mode in lumines though i got into the 90s recently for the first time. the song that starts at level 80 kills me on a good chunk of runs
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 May 2019 16:41 (four years ago) link
My last Lumines run was my best, I forget where I got to though. Closer.

I've only cleared standard once, countless other runs got in the 90s and fallen apart. Now I just stick to the Endless mode that unlocked.

i love the 'i hear the music in my soul' track that has the extremely slow tempo/clear speed that's always the highlight of every run
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 May 2019 17:30 (four years ago) link
oh yeh that's a cracker, v Daft Punk. think the only track I dislike is the one on the white and brown bubbles stage, has a kinda grunge riff?

Is that a bad thing?
― Tormund Giantsbabe (Leee), Thursday, 23 May 2019 17:12 (four years ago) link
it was a struggle
yakuza 6 was a universally praised game, i don't know what is wrong with me
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Thursday, 23 May 2019 17:27 (four years ago) link
even the fucking ending! there were TWO different credit sequences, separated by another 20 minute movie in between. holy shit
i didn't realize it was such a story-heavy game, though, so i guess that's on me. i will say that the zaniness of the dialogue and the situations they were in made me lol irl several times, which is more than pretty much any game! sometimes it was genuinely very entertaining. in general i really enjoy that uncanny valley zone, in life and videogames. the nathan fielder awkwardness. and yakuza 6 frequently entered that zone and was all the better for it. but most of the time, it rests somewhere just outside of the uncanny valley. like if The Room had just slightly better actors and just slightly better dialogue and made slightly more sense
― these are not all of the possible side effects (Karl Malone), Thursday, 23 May 2019 17:31 (four years ago) link
also a few too many instances of missions like "GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TOWN AND STAND ON A SPOT". then as soon as you do that, it skips you from morning turns to dusk and the new missions is "WAIT! go back all the way across town to where you just were, and stand on that spot again"

So, autochess ... suddenly there are like six different versions of the same game from a bunch of different manufacturers, all stemming I think from this Dota version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dota_Auto_Chess
I've played a bit of the Drodo version on iOS, which I kind of enjoyed. Anyone else dabble with this nonsense?

Gaming has totally fallen off my radar. I played some Yakuza yesterday and gave up after maybe 15 minutes. At least my wallet is happy about that.

i like Karl's posts on Yakuza 6.
i've been playing Yakuza 0 and... welp. i really do like the loopy sensibility, the tonal shifts between deadly serious gangster stuff, weirdo side characters, treacly sentimental stuff helping neighborhood kids (finding out every single female character is a working porn performer is a little idk, something)
yakuza 0 was a masterpiece because it allowed you to live your life in devotion to the four divine arts: karaoke, fighting, disco, and pocket racing— ▀▀▀▀▀▀ (@immolations) June 6, 2019
but it's not that fun? the translation is great but the fighting isn't. coming off god of war (fuck yeah) it's just not that great. and you spend so much time in menus. i get a kick out of the fact that there's immense detail put into things that barely matter, all the food, my god! but then there's something like that item builder/resource hoarding/agent request system that's like ????? it's a very player-unfriendly game i think.

i have been playing through yoku island express with my roommate for life - it's a great sorta co-op game because it's easy to trade the controller every once in a while and you can't die. we're currently going through all the post-credits stuff trying to 100% it
