Yes, or just the HDMI cable and an Xbox controller. that's what I do.

There's a remastered version of crash bandicoot on steam that is a lot of fun and also hard as gently caress. I don't remember the original game being that hard

seconding the xbox controller

used to be a big fan of ps controllers

until I tried xbox controller for newest xbox. uses bluetooth


it’s .. extremely very good. get the rechargeable addon (shame you have to do this) and you’ll have the best controller money can buy and it’s not even that much

"The faster you use your cooldowns, the faster you can use them again"

this poo poo was ruined by monetization - no one wants to put out guides and wiki updates anymore because they will be immediately scraped for someone's clickbait blog, youtube channel or ad-infested wiki

the only stuff you still see is pinned discord posts and google docs which are both difficult to discover and depending on how good the moderation is half the time they are completely wrong because they are from earlier builds of a game with no version indicated and no removal once they are invalid

I really like when a game has it's own dedicated community. The SMT and Persona series have sites that basically catalog everything in the game.

i really like a game with a good wiki that becomes part of how you play the game. e.g. slay the spire and desktop dungeons where there are enough interactions that it is expedient and fun to look up details on what you're trying to do in the moment

a few of my friends are just as addicted to binding of isaac as i am and we watch each other attempt runs all the time. almost every time i play i have someone watching my discord stream with the wiki open ready to theory craft a rube goldberg machine on the fly with me

fextralife is notorious here too, they scrape other wikis and never update the page while embedding stealth twitch.tv embeds to push up their viewership on twitch its completely insane

devs that make community wikis and support them do rule tho

i appreciate the effort; this is a personal craft/hobby take on editorial layout design and it's a bit funny to me, from a professional view. like, as a designer, I'd much rather have reworded something than try to finagle spacing and kerning to make a block of text comfortably justified and riverless

It's awful, they're usually one of the top hits for most games too. Their divinity original sin 2 wiki is just stuff cribbed from one of those generic wikis, but it's even more barebones.
