Everywhere? or in what country/place?

I’m with you on the Gamecube controls, tank controls are awkward but Wii pointing is more awkward. Although the best control scheme I used was a Steam controller on Dolphin (for the Wii version).

1. Universal Paperclips
2. Dark Souls
3. Return of the Obra Dinn
4. Golden Sun (duology)
5. Persona 3 FES
6. Night in the Woods
7. Pseudoregalia
8. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
9. Splatoon 2
10. Stacklands

Phantom Hourglass was my first but Spirit Tracks is my favorite. I actually really like the stylus DS controls (and it’s not even that bad using a mouse on an emulator either) but the main thing I like is the music and story. Music and story I would say are both better in Spirit Tracks than any other game in the series. It also is one of the few games in the series that you can really call a legend of Zelda. She’s there the whole time and the main story focuses on her character arc.
Just overall an amazing experience with some really dramatic moments, if I had to summarize what I like about it more than the other games in the series I’d say it’s the most “cinematic & dramatic”

Just looked up “take my lead” on playphrase.me to check, it shows up in a couple movies, even a Star Wars.

A half room full of sandstone is 33kg? 27m³ room filled half with sandstone? By my calculation it’s more like 31,400 kg

The first game goes on sale pretty often (it’s about $5 right now on Steam and GOG) so you could also try the first game if you’re interested enough (on PC).

I’ve stopped using the word “roguelite” because most people who play roguelites just call them “roguelikes” and adding “lite” to the end makes it feel like those games are “lite” versions of roguelikes.
When I play Nethack, Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Cogmind, Brogue, etc. I call them “classic roguelikes” or “traditional roguelikes” which feels a lot more precise than having a distinction between “like” and “lite” and it also feels a lot less combative to “roguelites”. It feels like the term roguelite exists mostly to just correct people who incorrectly use “roguelike” and be like “unm, actually that’s not a roguelike 🧐 only my game is a roguelike 🤣”
Most people call roguelite games “roguelikes”; it should be on the fewer people who play traditional roguelikes to change what they call their oddly specific genre.
Also, for those who have never played a traditional roguelike, I highly recommend Brogue. It’s free and has much easier controls than most other old roguelikes, and the graphics are also pretty good for ASCII.

I played Pseudoregalia and beat it in a couple hours and thought it was kinda meh. Then the next day I was kinda bored so I played it again start to finish. And then I played it like four more times that week. It very quickly became one of my favorite games of all time; not perfect on a first playthrough but one of the best games ever to replay.

The entire point of a bucket list is to have high-stakes unachievable goals?

The green part is awful on its own but it makes the strawberry as a whole taste so much better.

I happened to see this video recently about how shoes affect foot bones. The tl;dr is that the way most shoes are shaped is restrictive around the toes and squishes the foot in an unnatural way that may lead to long-term injury / bone deformations later in life.

Golden Sun is probably one of my favorite RPGs, very deep combat system where in the lategame you will be modifying your character class in the middle of battles to change your movesets and other cool mechanics. Fairly interesting story as well. It has great GBA pixel art and it does have random encounters.

Persona 5 is a turn-based RPG that lots of people who aren’t usually into turn-based RPGs tend to like. Simple but satisfying battles, and a story that would have seemed mediocre if it wasn’t for great music and some cool moments which make it really stand out. No pixel art and also no random encounters.

OMORI is pretty good and has a really good art style. The story is also very good with some very memorable characters and moments, and pretty good music. The combat is simple and probably best described as “not bad”. The biggest downside of the game imo is that despite not being very long (<20 hours) it felt like it dragged on close to the end. It might have random encounters? I don’t really remember.

Overall I recommend Golden Sun if you are able to emulate it or something (not on steam or switch)

You settle a dispute between two snakes who can’t agree on whether or not to turn off the light. Not as many swamp levels as the sequels.

Nobody is getting paid to write Steam guides so it’s not like you can really expect somebody to write really good ones for obscure games. I think a stricter guide system would probably just lead to there being less guides rather than better ones. Like under a stricter system, the people who write incomplete/inaccurate guides will just stop posting them, but it’s not gonna convince many people to start writing good ones. You could also look outside of Steam because from my experience, most people don’t really use the Steam guides feature.

I was on the old Reddit amathenedit and while it was fun for a little bit, people would always start trying to bait certain answers. Eg: if the post was titled something like “ama then edit to make it look like I drink too much coffee” then inevitably somebody would ask something like “how many letters are on your keyboard” or something just to get OP to answer with a large number, and then they would edit the question to say like “how many times a day do you drink coffee?” for example.
I think the community would work better if the OP only reveals the premise a little bit afterwards, maybe by editing the post right before answering questions. That would prevent the answer baiting and hopefully Lemmy’s ability to sort by active posts would be less harsh to posts that take time to cook.

On what basis would anyone make that judgement.

Suspension of disbelief

I couldn’t get by without AutoHotkey and AltSnap. Especially having extra buttons on my mouse, there’s so many custom shortcuts, commands, controls, etc. that I couldn’t make without them. AltSnap also has a built-in borderless windowed button that works better with games than some apps I have used that are explicitly for that purpose. I have shortcuts for changing volume, switching windows, toggling always-on-top, and even making windows transparent all from the mouse.

This is why Universal Paperclips is my favorite idle game, maybe my favorite game ever. It has an ending and you can even interpret a story from it. Definitely worth playing once.
