  • “Over here [in Heroic] it’s free-to-play friendly, by a considerable margin,” niru begins, talking over a graphic showing the player distribution between the world types, with Heroic leading in global MapleStory by some margin. “Pay-to-win is accepted here [in Interactive World], but the free-to-play experience is awful and that’s what needs to be improved right now.”

    (Edit: it’s not made clear in that quote so I’ll just mention it here, they play in an Interactive world)

    I get addiction is real and it’s not easy to quit for some people. What I don’t get is that the game apparently has a different world type that is just better and he’s actively choosing not to play it instead. That’s like picking to play P2W poker where you can buy better hands and then complaining that it’s not fun when you could just go play real poker at the next table instead. At some point I just lose a lot of my sympathy for them.





  • Think the original Lost but nearly all defensive items are removed from the item pool. On one hand that means no useless health ups clogging the item pools. On the other hand, that means no holy mantle or dead cat.

    Overall I’d say that makes him a more consistent and more fun character, but I’m not sure if I’d call him easier. Losing the ability to find things like dead cat hurts.

    IIRC (been almost a year since I’ve played Isaac), he has a higher damage stat as well, which is great.



  • Terraria is the easy pick for me. I believe the only game that comes even close to the amount of hours I have in it would be Minecraft. I doubt I need to say much about this game, so I’ll leave it at 3 words: near infinite replayability.

    Melvor Idle is an amazing game if you like the “idle” in idle games. And if you like the idea of leveling up a multitude of different skills like in RuneScape but don’t like the idea of walking back to a town every time you’ve chopped down 12 trees, Melvor Idle has you covered. It’s a long grind but I had fun the whole way. I’ve 100%'d it and all the DLCs and still love playing it.

    Cassette Beasts… I’m genuinely surprised I haven’t seen this game mentioned here. An absolutely amazing creature collector with a very unique twist on things, a great story, beautiful pixel art, and hands down the best game soundtrack I’ve ever heard.
