0.29 was my first version! I even thought about returning to it someday just to get a win but it’s such a pain in the ass to play knowing that I miss out on many QoL features and rebalancing changes of the later versions.

Went to space, fired up 2048 to kill some time during flight, missed the entire voyage

silly creature

Yeah the moment Bushido clicked with me I just feel in love with it. Really surprised it managed to keep me hooked for 24 hours!

Fair! If you can find anyone to play with you, you can try doing it in coop. Coop is 2vs2 so you only have 2 fights ahead so it’s much easier to do. And Bushido in coop is sooo fun!

I find Zoldath similar to Nethack in a way - all these hidden interactions, quick and often hilarious deaths, and lots of procgen of course. Edit: Planet Zoldath was released in 1984, the same year as the release of Hack on Usenet.

On an unrelated note, the “I wanna be the guy” dev have their personal website at kayin.moe where they often posts about indie games. I found this blog pretty cool. There are also a few posts about UFO 50.

UFO 50 is brutal and I love it for this. Cherrying Bushido Ball for the first time felt great!

You weren’t lying, she’s really the best 😭💜

Holy shit I didn’t we could do this x)

love me some proper markdown support

I’m on a laptop with no numpad so I figured a controller would be better but it proved to be a bit too slow for a roguelike tbh. Was too lazy to replay the tutorial to know the keyboard controls :p

Thanks for the recommendation, and I actually already own this game on Steam but haven’t managed to get into it so far. Looking forward to giving it another try, with a keyboard this time.

Sure thing!

The only bad thing in the whole situation is my self-control 😅

Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, a superb traditional roguelike (as in, similar to Rogue, an old game). I love its design so much~

It also will release the new version soon! I’m very excited to participate in the tournament which is a part of the reason I try to avoid playing it right now. I don’t want to burn out before the tournament even starts :p

Hello Charlotte is truly a special game series, it surely had a huge influence on me when I first played it. And I miss these characters so much!!!

I just hope that it won’t destroy me with its emotional moments… or rather, that it will destroy me in the right way! I related to Charlotte and Vincent quite a lot back then~

For Omori, I wish I could get it a proper chance - I did play it once but… things didn’t work out, so to say. It wasn’t the game’s fault but I left with a bitter taste in my mouth and eventually lost my save file. Not sure if I should even give it a chance, it might absolutely annihilate me now lol.

edit: “special”, not “species” lmao

As long as you don’t give up, you can beat this ga- Shrine of Amana flashback You have a point…

I mean, if we could have as much content diversity as Reddit it would be great. But we don’t. “More of everything else” will inevitably come at a cost of the quantity of political stuff.

With that said, Lemmy has so much western politics that you won’t even notice if a quarter of it would suddenly disappear.

It’s funny how, with all the “but who’d think of children!”, the actual kids don’t really care much about violence and gore on their screens. It’s more that when they grow up they become terrified of it. Maybe we need to make gory media strictly for 18 yo or younger :D

Same! Back in the day I could play Undertale’s genocide route without feeling much but nowadays even just reading through a good ending of a romantic manga makes me all teary.

And Hello Charlotte is one of the most honest pieces of media I’ve experienced. It’s like the author lets you into her inner world for awhile, with all the trauma and pain she’s been through hidden behind a thin veil of metaphors, using gore and pain to tell a story much more terrible than its components.
