it can be a bit too on rails for my liking at times, but it's stunningly gorgeous for a midshelf title, and i'm a sucker for the "sheltered young woman finds out that murder is cool" subgenre of action adventure games

The rules of Duolingo get increasingly arbitrary as you go on. There's ein, mein, and dein, which mean a, my and your, respectively, when talking about normal things. Then there's eine, meine, and deine, which mean a, my, and your when talking about thing with feminine characteristics, like women, owls, and pizza. All of that makes sense. But now they've added einen, meinen, and deinen, which mean a, my and your, but there's absolutely no way to know when they replace the classic or feminine ones. You can only figure it out by trial and error.

That’s not Duolingo, but the rules of German. You can be speaking the language since age 2 and still gender wrong.

There's some good spectacle in the game, for sure, but woof at the game's writing. And I'm probably being more generous than some people. Stellar soundtrack and art direction tho!

Yeah this is how I felt about Requiem. In the first game the extremely bleak tone worked for me because it was a game about survival in absolutely desperate circumstances. The first game then ends on a fairly hopeful note that I naively thought the second game would follow up on. It does not, and things just get worse and more miserable throughout the entire game.

It is probably the single bleakest game I've ever played, not just for the story's content, but for the choice the devs made post-credits which ultimately feels like a huge gently caress you to the players.

i'm trying to give elden ring a fairer shake with clearer eyes again after all its patches, and it's irritating how much of what bothered me before still bothers me now. heavy weapons are much more usable, and some of the spells/weapon arts are considerably better, but it's still a vast, empty world sparsely populated by forgettable dungeons with bad rewards, and bosses that take a tiresome amount of waiting around even when you know precisely what you need to do with them. i'm more positive on margit and godrick this time around, but then i run into something like the magma wyrm and wonder how the hell they thought that setting up its behaviour tree so that it can do its breathing charge attack four times in a row would create engaging gameplay

it's frustrating because of how much i could see myself absolutely adoring the game if its scope was pared down and if it took even a couple more risks from baseline dark souls with character build options, but its quality is spread so maddeningly thin that it's mostly become a podcast game with only occasional bursts of triumph to punctuate it

Correct opinion-haver here. After the finely tuned adrenal combat and boss battles of Sekiro, I found so much of Elden Ring just a bit bland. The catacombs and mine sections are some of my least favourite areas in any of the souls games.

There's been an absolute explosion of Android-based emulation handhelds this year, though keep in mind you may need to do a fair amount of tweaking to get everything set up and up-and-running.
I'd probably suggest the Miyoo Mini (if you can find one in stock anywhere) or maybe the RG35XX which is Anbernic's take on the Miyoo Mini.
They retail for around US$60.

You might find some other suggestions at the Third Party Retro Consoles thread

I kinda want to play a game like Delta Heart Hospital from the last episode of Star Trek Prodigy, a veterinary simulator with cute little alien land-octopus creatures. However, it seems like all the modern pet-care games are badly reviewed as mediocre cash grabs. Can anyone recommend any good ones?

I like the cartoony art style of My Universe: Pet Clinic Cats and Dogs, because I feel like it'd have to be cartoony for real-life creatures in order to avoid uncanny valley and they're not going to use Stray-like graphics, but that game has 59% user reviews.

The target audience for this game are people who still haven’t gotten sick of Roiland yelling dumb poo poo real loud which I mean it really depends on the writing and I fundamentally do not trust this game to have good writing
