Yoko’s Island Express: Pinball Metroidvania!
Yoko’s Island Express: Pinball Metroidvania!
Here’s a weird one I had a half-baked idea for: Tower Defense Metroidvania. The idea is that your an acolyte of a temple (or a mechanic in a space station, whatever), and there’s an armed group trying to force their way past the temple’s traps and defenses to get to the heart of the temple and steal the macguffin; that’s going on in a little horizontal track at the top of the screen, and meanwhile the rest of the screen is Metroidvania gameplay as you navigate the interior of the temple (or space station) to activate defenses, acquire magical relics, and eventually awaken the temple’s guardian spirit. You lose if the bad guys get to the heart of the temple, you win when you successfully gather everything you need to awaken the guardian. In the meantime, you have to decide when and where to spend resources (including time) shoring up the “normal” defenses (that delay the attackers) and when you need to just push onward to awaken the guardian.
That’s not quite right though, there’s the factor you know (password to your vault), and the factor you have (a copy of the encrypted vault).
Admittedly, I don’t use that feature either, but, it’s not as bad as it seems at first glance.
Or you could just… disable the eshop on a regular, unmodded switch through parental controls? I mean, nothing against modding but you hardly need a modded switch to block “pushy” sales and subscriptions.
I thought it was really good! It’s got some great QoL improvements that I wish they had backported to the base game, honestly. Also, it addresses some flaws in the end of the base game, making it a clearer what was supposed to have happened (while still leaving some stuff open, it is a Xeno game after all).
Also, I won’t spoil anything but if you’re a long-time fan of the series there’s a lot to like.
I finally finished Xenoblade 3 and Future Connected, so now I’ve finally started Tears of the Kingdom.

Assuming your username on lemmy.world was the same as the one you’re using here, you received the ban for being a “disrespectful troll”: https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&userId=466656
(Edit: apparently it was originally a 29 day ban, but the admin removed it and re-entered it as a 2 day ban; unclear if that’s because they changed their mind, or because the 29 was a typo from the start)
Finishing off Xenoblade Chronicles 3’s post-game content before moving on to Future Redeemed. I’ve enjoyed the heck out of it, though I am basically ready to be done, so… that lined up pretty nicely, actually.
Such a good fucking show
Much easier, in fact; Eliza could pass the Turing test in 1966. Humans are incredibly eager to assess other things as being human or human-like.
He bought the domain back later, actually.
That third one can be tough, but I think it’s super important, and, not just in tech.
That said, also recognize that not every new skill or tool is necessarily appropriate for a particular task. You should still learn them, though, otherwise when they are appropriate, you may not even recognize it.
Dawncaster is excellent.
Wow, a Lain meme was not something I was expecting.
I should watch that show again sometime, I still have the DVDs somewhere I think.
