whatchu playing now

my initials are ZA...sorry to disappoint :(

Are you...Zack Snyder??

mine is sw-2991-6325-1220, my user name is karl, preemptive apologies for any confusion with the preeminent karl, malone

Zack Snyder is also on my shit list after failing to return several letters.

do you write for rolling stone? what do the letters mean?!!?

(you don't have to reveal, but i am curious :)

no worries karl, i think I'm "Zach" on the switch anyway

adding you in a second!

is everyone playing this game named zach/zack or karl?!

The letters are my first and last name minus all vowels except for Y. It's not that interesting. I first used it as a tumblr handle years back and it's become my default go-to because I hate trying to think of a clever handle.

is everyone playing this game named zach/zack or karl?!

one of us, one of us, one of us

yeah i've uncreatively been using my initials as a handle since the early 00s, don't remember how i ended up with this name instead on ilx

your initials mean something else on ilx tho

and online in general, but i think my use of them predates that

added a bunch of zachs, my island is not ready for visitors yet though

same. underconstruction.gif

i read about a partial solution to the iron nugget scarcity problem - i can just buy a ticket to another island and exploit other resources

Stop it you all are making me kind of want to get a Switch or something.

change your legal name, buy a switch and get over here imo

I’d buy a switch if i could get one! But instead I’m on a stock watcher mailing list.

It could do with a system so that I could distinguish my Zachs from my Karls, I'll tell you that for nothing.

My avatar has a black bg, a mustache on his forehead, and he’s peeling around the corner like a weirdo

Peeking

both zachs i added have a peeking around the corner like a weirdo avatar

probably just a thing zachs do

oh sorry i was looking at someone else for the second one. i recant my zach opinions

my icon is blathers, chosen before I knew who blathers was tbh

wait...where is this other peeking zach

i want to peek at them

karl i recognized your avatar as soon as i saw it! me and blathers are tight right now, due to my recent efforts opening up something...(don't want to reveal it now, but it's big!)

the other one was not a zach sorry for the mislead

zchyrs will you also peek? I will give you pears

zchrys I’ve decided your name is Zach Yaris hope that’s ok

i've always read it as zach years

p sure it’s Zachy Rose guys

zochi yarosi

I'm not peeking, but I am staring with weirdo bug-eyes in my avatar. What's up, y'all

plus some ebooks and other stuff. all the games above are for PC, but many of them are also for Mac, if you click the link

$30 (or more, if you want to donate more) for all that

i can tell you, europa universalis IV alone is worth well over $600,000, so that's a great deal

Hollow Knight is itself worth $60, but apparently EUIV has stolen its thunder.

Hollow Knight is worth two, three quid

Hollow Knight is worth over $450,000, easily

this entire bundle is worth nearly $22.4M

ok, that's ridiculous, since that would be more than $700k per game.

the bundle is easily worth over $8.2M

and you multiply that by the enjoyment factor, to come up with the "$ per fun times" unit, it's off the charts

this is the police, Lego Batman, let’s throw in another 50p each for those .. altogether this is about £1.38 of games

...actually you divide that by the total enjoyment. my point is that this is a helluva deal

the only problem with it is that i own all the good games in it already

i own all the fair-to-middling games in it

i too have made the deadly mistake of buying all the good games before they show up in charity bundles

yeah, i've already played most of the ones i'm interested in. but of those:

all-timers:
Europa Universalis IV
Hollow Knight
Undertale
The Witness
Pac-Man Championship Edition 2

pretttttty good:
Into the Breach
Jackbox Part Pack 2
World of Goo
Worms Revolution

Notable:
Super Hexagon
SUPERHOT
Tropico 4
VVVVVV
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (this game sucks, but you can only play couch co-op, split screen style, and it's fun in a kind of B-movie way. BEWARE: near the end of the game, out of nowhere, it turns into a rip-off of the shooting sections of uncharted games. it's sudden and inexplicable, and then all of a sudden after several hours of walking around slowly and pushing ladders and shit, you're tasked with dealing with pretty advanced AI that's shooting from you at all directions. it's jarring and terrible and bad.

Games I haven't played and I'm curious about:

Psychonauts
Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered
Darksiders Deathinitive Edition

i think you're mixing brothers up with that newer game by the same guy. brothers is the single player one where you're controlling both chars via the two sticks. maybe theres a coop mode idk

oh shit, you're right! whoops. was that made by the same guy?

the one i was talking about was the prison break one, A Way Out. and come on, those guys were practically brothers after all they went through together

darksiders is just edgy dark fantasy zelda

psychonauts was a big deal at the time but i suspect it's aged dreadfully like all non mario 3d platform/adventure games

take em if you want em
