They want you to feel heard, and then feel personally responsible for the incessant call volume.

Happy birthday, Flying Squid

Still playing Dark Souls 2 - almost 100 hours in and there’s just Darklurker and Aldia left. This game just keeps going and going, really well worth the cost. Since I’m almost through, I can see why it seems to be the black sheep of the series. But, despite some problems (like needing to refer to a guide constantly) I like it a lot, and will definitely do a NG+ eventually.

Also started Yooka-Laylee and I love it already. It’s very true to the Banjo Kazooie style.

That’s its “serious movie poster” face

To me it has a similar feel to some of the later Sonic games, but without the fear of falling off the level. I recommend checking out a how to play guide because it just jumps in without explaining.

Forgot to because I was focusing on getting the screenshot for URL thing. Thanks

Still playing Dark Souls 2.

I also started playing Grapple Dog for something casual/relaxing.

I remember being confused as to why everyone loved Chrome suddenly

Because they were still using Explorer before that

Dark Souls 2. I chose Sorcerer class and I’m getting my ass kicked regularly. Great fun though.

I have no stance because I don’t know what you are talking about.

All my Brave Bucks just magically disappeared. Screw 'em

This is the first I’ve heard of it. Is There a community I should join so I can participate next year?

Venom and FFIX 😌

I loved A Hat in Time. I grew up in that golden age of platformers and Hat definitely stands up in quality to those.

Ooooh

Still playing Shining Force 2, almost at the end. I read somewhere that Peter is the real main character and kind of agree.

I also started playing Sonic Adventure 2 because it looked cool and was less than $2, and omg, it might be the worst game I’ve ever played. I looked it up and it apparently was rushed, had a small team, and was made during a turbulent time at Sega. But it’s just bad. The controls are garbage, camera is even worse and sometimes does not let you move it to see where you’re going. The dialogue is thrown together poorly so the characters are often talking over each other in cutscenes. It’s a shame too because I can see the wasted potential. At least the chill Knuckles levels are still fun to play, and the music is memorable. I really hope the “Dark” path is better than the “Hero” path.

Very cool. I get some Mount Eerie vibes from it.

Everyone embraced smartphones and created a bigger market for games than there ever was before. Naturally when the mainstream latches onto something it becomes diluted and all about making a quick buck. Imo

The lazy answer for me is PS2, since that’s how I was able to play all the PS1/re-released games I missed out on. Pretty much all the Final Fantasy games, Chronl Trigger, Chrono Cross, Star Ocean… And then there was also FFX and Twisted Metal Black, some of the PS2 highlights for me.

I think SNES still has my heart though. I feel like most of the major titles were better (more perfected) than their N64 counterparts. The Legend of Zelda LttP absolutely consumed me growing up and is still my favourite game of all time. Many years later I find I’m still interested in games that look like they could have been released on SNES.

If it’s anything like the drawstring bags I have tried, it’s flimsy and mostly for show - it barely even tightens the bag when you’re ready to tie it up and throw it out.
