I’m pretty salty at nintendo for abandoning F-Zero in particular. I need more high speed bumpercars racing in my life

uh no not really. I’m just here for memes and doomscrolling

balatro. its kind of flawless.

For sure, they’re great in 2e. I remember that -4 penalty to strength in pf1e and their poochie-esque Wyvaran cousins trying to dragonborn it up tho

Kobolds deserved the place in the player’s handbook that dragonborn got. Those little scrappy fuckers maybe being the actual scions of dragons appeals to me in a way that dragonborn just do not.

I appreciate that this exists. N64 controllers were super fucked up and I’ve encountered troubles getting an xbox style controller to work with emulation because the right thumbstick isn’t a good replacement for c-buttons.

this is ok. minetest was an awful name.

for those of you without the patience to read a blogpost, the new name’s actually a bit of wordplay.

“Luanti” is a wordplay on the Finnish word luonti (“creation”) and the programming language Minetest Luanti employs for games and mods, Lua. The goal was to avoid yet another plain English word (good luck finding something unique…) and highlight the core principles of the project. The fusion of celeron55’s Finnish nationality and the platform’s focus on content creation resulted in the birth of “Luanti”.

hey, in souls, a win is a win is a win.

Bell peppers & beef is my current favorite. It’s as simple as browning some beef, putting rice in the ricecooker, and making a simple sauce to cook the peppers in.

There’s definitely something to this. I tend to get a lot of chores done before my weekly floor disassociation time.

An emulator and a shitton of old roms. The further back you go, the smaller they get. I’ll probably splurge on a few choice games over 100mb with good pvp or co-op to play with my partner, but the vast majority will be under 5mb.

Resident Evil 1 for the first time. The voice acting is very silly.

Don’t oPen that door!

Chris is our old partner ya knoow.

finally, i don’t have to stream from my PC to play the funny card game

Through monstadt, it really does feel like a clone. Though as the game opens up, yeah it does carve out its own identity.

At the beginning before you get any good teammates, your party members are basically just the different BOTW weapons, and their skills are the different shieka slate tools. Kaeya’s your Cryo, Amber’s your Bombs, Noelle’s your hammers, and you need them to get to korok seed stand-ins. Domains are obvious parallels to shieka shrines, but they mostly get abandoned after the prologue chapter as anything other than gear grind spots. Even the grind of ascending characters and their weapons feels like doing great fairy fountain gear grinds.

edit: oh, and you climb and glide around to traverse the massive environment; it’s a surface level feature comparison, but worth mentioning.

The comparison does begin to fall apart when you find out that the meat and potatoes of genshin is the (mostly self contained) main storylines, and once you start unlocking character storylines, it becomes even further distinct. You’re not building up to reunite with your sibling by just picking a direction and exploring (or even just making a mad dash to the cryo nation), you’re sequentially building up and knockign down local threats, only occasionally getting glimpses of the main thread. And of course, the mobile game mechanics that permeate the whole thing after AR 30 or so really pull it further away.

genshin, wholly in spite of its fucked up gacha party system. If it was a normal 60 dollar game with less scope and without the gambling, I’d like it better than BotW.

All of the fake martial arts (from no-touch knockouts and kayfabe wrestling) have given me a bad impression of martial arts in general. If you’re not mystifying your arts or trying to pass them off as something they’re not to impressionable and vulnerable people, hey you’re good. But I’m still internally lumping them all together as scams in my head.

Damn, you reply quick. yep, I realized the instant i asked and felt stupid, eheh.

huh, what dropped in 2020 that caused that big spike?
