you should alternate super long rpgs with shorter more linear experiences. pick some indie from your backlog

I started playing “the messenger” today

it’s a retro platformer that tbh really owns although I did only play for about half an hour because I have terrible attention for games but it was fun as hell and i’ll definitely go back to it again a few times. it’s
on sale

when I would have more than about 100 objects active in UE4 it would start to crawl

I would interested and probably confused by the kind of coding that goes into that.

i bounced off hollow knight after getting the spin cut move and it’s really hard to get back in. also i’ve been playing sundered (which is also v good imo) and been spoiled by having a toggle button for the map

Breath of the Wild is my favorite game in the last forever and I am loving Doom Eternal so this checks out.

Hollow Knight is also an excellent choice. Ori has some fun movement and platforming if you can get over the bush league combat.

i mean factorio doesn't waste any power on graphics or sound or anything. ultimately it's just a really big powerful database processor with a pretty (2d, sprite-based) interface. probably takes better advantage of multiple cores than most other games too.

hk, you have to push buttan then game pauses and big map comes up and you have to zoom in

sundered, you hold a shoulder button, it’s already zoomed and centered on you, does not pause the game

i prefer the latter

I bought factorio ages ago because on paper it seems right up my ally, but I kept bouncing off of it every time I played.

Until quarantine. Tried it again late last week and I've really dug into it this time.

I have no frame of reference for this stuff anymore

The last stuff I had was like an Xbox 360 and ps2 that I gave to my sister, and a WiiU I got for free that I sold to a local game store, all before I moved to California, and I hadn’t really used them for anything but Netflix for a while

idk what ill play next, maybe some other long rpg-type thing its not like i got anything else to do


botw was good cause u got ur action and excitement and also your slow fun exploration. highly recommended 10/10 like and subscribe for more reviews

check the map for the spots you missed because i found a whole section i apparently walked and climbed around but never went through. its probably been a year since i played it last so now might be a good time to reintroduce myself to climbing mountains and seeing cool views

i bought black mesa for a nostalgia run and its fun, theres just enough tweaked to feel freshish but the gameplay feels comfortable

Why not include the states that have already formed their own unions since the federal government is just completely absent? So far we have three: West Coast Pact, MOM WIKI, and Council of Six. Texas said they're flying alone. I assume that a bunch of other states will join up with the first three at some point, and we'll probably get a Southern Alliance and Mountain Coalition at some point too
