AlolanYoda,

Easy. Just get an erection to force the metal back out.

I can’t wait to find this comment in my history after having forgotten the context.

Honest to God, Toree Saturn

I have a lot of things I’m excited for but I really can’t wait for Toree Saturn

AlolanYoda,

Is it just me or is Heathcliff being more important in his strips recently? Maybe as a response to your efforts?

AlolanYoda,

Knowing how Cyanide and Happiness comics usually go, I was sort of expecting one of them to like the licking part

AlolanYoda,

Chaos.

I love what it represents, how it can be good or evil depending on your point of view (there’s a reason why DnD used it as an axis perpendicular to Good-Evil), and it sounds really cool. It is also the first word I’d use to describe my life at any point in time. Maybe life itself!

It sounds good in all languages I know but has the distinction of sounding even better in English, despite coming from the Greek Kaos it somehow sounds cooler in English (a distinction shared by few, if any, other words coming from Greek to English). It is also written in an amazing manner, with a “H” that came out of nowhere and has no reason to be there other than just cause… Chaos. I love it.

AlolanYoda,

So it is! I don’t know why I remembered it as kaos (καος with the accent somewhere, I don’t know Greek, modern or ancient). It’s χάος. Makes total sense.

Still think it sounds better in English!

AlolanYoda,

Unpopular opinion warning: after playing and adoring Outer Wilds, I played Subnautica and, while it’s a fine game, I’m having trouble getting engrossed in it. I’ve never been much of a fan of survival games, though (apart from Minecraft if it counts?) and Subnautica may be my favorite in that category… But it’s still firmly in that category

AlolanYoda,

Your comment made me finally go there and check. Wow, the comments here and there are night and day. The most common comment on similar threads is “Norway, Spain and Ireland are showing the world that terrorism works”.

AlolanYoda,

Wait… You’re telling me all of those wallpapers with anime girls on them do not translate to an active sex life? I feel like I’ve been lied to!

AlolanYoda,

My country’s president is clearly heading towards dementia. I’d be a crow, they can just speak, so I’d simply fly to him and tell him. He’d probably believe me, no questions asked.

AlolanYoda,

If you barely had a grasp on old slang, new slang is just a second chance to get on with the times!

[Forever-free Friday] Cave Story (www.cavestory.org)

Considered by many to be one of the defining indie games, this 2004 metroidvania adventure “received widespread critical acclaim for many polished aspects of its design, such as its compelling characters, setting, story, and gameplay”. While the enhanced Cave Story+ has been given away before, the original is available on...

AlolanYoda,

I’ve only played the original Freeware title. I can definitely recommend this. At the time I played it, it had an incredible impact on me, opening the door to the world of indies and the freeware scene in general. I can credit it with having a direct influence on me trying game development as a hobby. It’s wild how amazing of a game and how much polish it has for a free game made in 2004 by one dude. 20 years ago!

… Also, I’ve been reading forum threads debating if this is a metroidvania since at least 2010, possibly even earlier!

AlolanYoda,

Thanks for your write up! I never finished the game, it didn’t really pull me in as I expected it to. But on this topic:

My main gripe is just that they seem to have mapped controls in a retro way for nostalgia reasons and it holds the game back. Rather than triggering the moves organically through context, the left trigger is again used as a face button modifier. Jump with A, high jump with LT+A. Sonar ping with Y, Sonar explosion with LT+Y. They didn’t need to do that but at least the animations are short to trigger so it isn’t too painful.

How would you have done it? I don’t think I’m against the LT being used in this way. For instance, how would you have implemented a high jump like what they have? Or would you have removed the move entirely?

AlolanYoda,

I understand. I thought you had a better way of implementing the high jump with different properties, instead of just removing it altogether. To be fair, I’d remove it too and a double jump would probably be my preferred approach!

I like Mario 64’s triple jump, but I don’t think it’d be a good fit for a colectathon like this. I can’t put to words why I think it’d be different in YL, but I have a feeling that I’d get really annoyed if it asked me to use multi-jumps often to reach specific ledges. I don’t think triple jumps are ever required in Mario games, are they? I doubt YL would ever introduce a move and not flood the levels after that with obstacles that you need to use the move on to progress

AlolanYoda, (edited )

I was not expecting giveaways on Lemmy!

Honestly I haven’t seen much of this game (having a PhD to finish and all, I haven’t allowed myself to hahaha), but I am hopeful that it will allow me to try to solve conflicts with diplomatic and out of the box thinking instead of just combat, and having it feel like I haven’t cheated myself out of content: it bothers me that I can’t avoid conflict in most games without feeling like I’m missing out, and Star Trek is the perfect IP to make it work.

Thank you for the giveaway! Best of luck!

Edit: Is this valid for all regions?

AlolanYoda,

Yes. That implies you are on the same level as Stephen King.

You should publish as Steven Emperor ;)

AlolanYoda,

Remember white spy? This is him now. Feel old yet?

AlolanYoda,

When thinking of space games with limited graphics, the first thing that comes to mind is ASCII Sector.

But the Star Control 2: The Ur-Quan Masters (or whatever it’s name is now) gets my strongest recommendation. And Starsector looks inspired by it, so I’ll have a look!

[Official] Switch 2 will be announced this fiscal year + June direct confirmed (twitter.com)

This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software...

AlolanYoda,

Good to officially know the Switch will have a sucessor, by Nintendo’s silence I would not have been surprised if the Switch remained Nintendo’s main console until after the heat death of the universe!

AlolanYoda,

You’re not going to like this: All my friends who used to visit 9gag now get their memes from Instagram.

AlolanYoda,

Wait, Reddit is pro-Israel now? I haven’t been there in a while (to be honest, since before this topic escalated) but that surprises me

AlolanYoda,

Keeping it at seconds still makes it relatively comfortable for me. Bananas per minute (BPM) is where it’s at

AlolanYoda,

Lmao I was sure that on this one you had taken Heathcliff from the stage and edited the sign. Guess not!

AlolanYoda,

I care about graphics in games (although mostly due to art direction rather than just “realism”). And yet I still agree with you and think the other guy is bonkers. 2D games can be awesome, 3D games can be awesome.
