  • Approaching the point where I need a new phone. Curious what would be better. A fairphone 6 with calyx or /e/ os. Or a new pixel with graphene. I've heard graphene is the best but the fairphone is very tempting

  • Do I purchase RDR2 ultimate edition which is on sale or hope for a proper Xbox series x version?

    Jump

  • Rumors say there is a proper "next gen" version coming so probably wouldn't hurt to wait a bit. Games not going anywhere :)

  • What are your favorite metroidvanias?

    Jump

  • ~hollow knight silksong~

    • Hollow Knight
    • Islets
    • Ender lilies
    • Ori and the will of the wisps (don't love blind forest personally)
    • Blasphemous 1 and 2
    • Pretty much all the 2d metroids, especially Dread
    • Guacamelee 1 and 2
    • The messenger kinda
    • Steamworld dig 2
    • Animal Well

    Oh and what I like about them. Exploration is 90% of a good metroidvania for me. Unlocking abilities and finding secrets in old locations is just my favorite gameplay loop. I don't tend to love super linear metroidvanias a-la Metroid fusion, though it's still a good game. But exploration usually can't be all of it. Combat if it's there should be decent at best, puzzles are always good. But really if exploration isn't there just right I probably won't love it. Also most of these I play on steam deck / PC. Except metroid

  • US supreme court upholds Tennessee ban on youth gender-affirming care

    Jump

  • Just so devastated. Just ranted at my parents for still supporting the nyt after all this shit. Like it's these media groups that are responsible for this. They platform the arguments directly used in the supreme Court case. Im just so sick of mainstream legacy media both sidesing every fucking issue. They are going to lead us to our downfall. They move the Overton window. Like yeah I know the supreme Court is conservative whatever what I said isn't wrong. The NYT are partially culpable here. Fuck me there goes my week / month / year whatever. Can't take this news rn

  • And I am also free to think the joke is in bad taste and to refuse support for a game that makes jokes that make light of the shit situation I'm in :)

  • Splitgate 2 Director Refuses to Apologize for ‘Make FPS Great Again Hat’, Then Apologizes Anyway - IGN

    Jump

  • I mean yeah but really no. The political implications are too big to ignore here. Especially given the event being in LA with all the shit going on. Also like as a particularly targeted person in this fascist administration, it really doesn't feel great for people to use fascist iconography to make a stupid joke!

    Also like splitgate 2? Really? The game that during this announcement announced a battle royale mode? The most tired shooter mode since hero shooters? And the one that had $145 microtransactions on launch? This is the savior of fps gaming?

    Nah

    Jump

  • Yeah for essentially $50 with the bundle it's not bad

  • Mario Kart World | Review Thread

    Jump

  • Well I can already predict this thread will be full of comments on the price so I'll go ahead and give actual impressions on the game.

    It's really good! The free roam mode is maybe a bit more bare bones than I thought it would be but it's still great fun driving around and doing challenges. Some of the challenges are legitimately difficult and some of the special ones have taken me ages to complete. The driving feels great, the new movement mechanics are really fun. Knockout tour is absolutely the star here and a great new mode. The AI is harder this time around which makes racing against them much more fun in my opinion.

    Overall I've been having an amazing time. I do think $80 is steep. But that aside, the game is outstanding
