Where do you see four?

You've double counted down and reduces, those are the same thing. Up is favorites, boosts is... boosts. That's three items at the bottom under activity, with two of them also being shown as arrows up top.

So the Star Player mode isn't a ripoff of Splatoon, it's actually a ripoff of Kid Icarus Uprising.

God I wish they'd bring that game back.

Splatoon 3 - Getting ready for a LAN tournament in Philly tomorrow. Excited.

Persona 5 Royal - Finished the third palace.

Them's Fightin' Herds - Casual practice session, by which I mean terrorizing a lobby for a little while.

Slay the Spire - After over 800 hours of vanilla, I've just started fooling around with different mod characters, while watching Youtube in the background. Currently playing The Shaman, has some really cool mechanics.

Simon Tatham's Puzzles is a fantastic FOSS collection of logic puzzles. The only good mobile game, really.

Simon Tatham's Puzzles, particularly Net on a very large board with wrapping.

I also like good ol' Stepmania (or the more recent ITGmania fork), but I'm pretty bad at it.

You're going to see the pendulum swing back in the other direction. People who remain on reddit will be all in favor of reopening, and they'll start pushing an anti-mod circlejerk. Even users who had energy for two days worth of protest will get bored and decide they want everything back. People will blame the protest for being annoying, failing to understand that protest can't be effective if it doesn't agitate.

I'm getting ready for a local Splatoon 3 tournament in Philly this weekend, put together a quick pickup team for it. Also slowly working through Persona 5 Royal, just finished the third palace.

We went 1-2 in the round robin, which I'm plenty satisfied with. Wasn't really expecting to win with a pickup drafted less than a week ago, especially after seeing our first opponents had matching shirts with their team's logo on it. But somehow that was the set we won.

X still. I've tested and found an additional 16ms latency on Wayland, and it's really annoying trying to do OBS Window Capture as I have to re-grant the sandbox permissions for each window every time I use it.

Youtube is far too expensive for anyone to try and run a competitor to. I don't think we'll ever see a replacement.

Google is still losing money on it, and might never make it profitable. There's a real risk that Youtube just dies on its own and nothing replaces it.

blockchain

Yeah no.

It's not like there haven't been attempts at other video hosting services. But nothing could ever scale up to the size of Youtube.

There's very little I care about from AAAs. Pretty much just Nintendo really, and only a few of their IPs.

I think what I miss most though is the space that existed in between. Small spinoff projects from large studios. Those mostly flourished on handheld, and when handhelds died so did an entire class of games.

I think about this meme a lot. The idea of taking pride in a 1-30 set sounds absurd, but it's unironically the mindset a competitive player should have. When the mountains to climb in these games are so massive, you have to be able to look back and recognize the progress you've made getting this far.

Pop off, you deserve it.

• CrossCode - Phenomenal action RPG. Combat is fast and explosive, dungeons are very obviously Zelda inspired but with way more puzzles. Packed with tons and tons and tons of sidequests, many of which put unique twists on the combat system to keep you on your toes. Make sure to grab the epilogue DLC.

• FOOTSIES - Minimalist one-button fighting game, with rollback.

• OneShot - Fairly reminiscent of Undertale, if you liked that you'll probably enjoy this too. And like Undertale I don't want to say too much, take my word for it and let it surprise you.

• Petal Crash - Absolutely fantastic versus puzzler, and a perfect entry point into the genre. I wrote a very long review of how in love with this game I am, so I'm just going to link that.

• Them's Fightin' Herds - Another great fighting game, been waiting a long time for this port to bring us up to a grand total of two good fighting games on Linux. Has a lot of really cool features like a big story mode with overworld exploration, a cute lobby system with cosmetics to collect and treasure chests to fight for, a dynamic music system that reacts to the fight, and even a semi-cooperative dungeon crawler mode. Has crossplay with consoles as well. Full review.

• Ultimate Chicken Horse - Start on a nearly empty platformer map, each round everyone adds one object somewhere on the map then you all try to finish the level. Whoever finishes gets a point, plus bonus points for whoever finished first or collected coins that have been placed. Then you add another set of objects and repeat. Quickly becomes hilariously chaotic as you try to figure out how to balance screwing everyone else over while still making sure you can win, only to realize that after a few rounds you have all built a horrifying monstrosity. Has full crossplay with console versions.

• Anything by Zachtronics - A bunch of different engineering puzzle games where you have to write code or build a machine to solve problems. Once you've solved the puzzle, you can see a histogram comparing your solution to everyone else's on a few different metrics, encouraging you to go back and try to optimize it further. I recommend Opus Magnum as the best entry point.
