Counterpoint, early Pokemon games also had user manuals and all of two buttons.
And I'd argue the ladder tutorial was less about the ladder and more a step in the larger tutorial about how important the rooftops are in Z-A. It's such a central part in the game, players can't afford to miss it.
I will be happy that I basically got the survivor I wanted (even if she doesn't get to be named Imogen), and I will be *fine* with how the rest of this turned out. 🙊
I always have trouble with the "which game is the hardest" question, because my answer changes from first playthrough to replay, or when considering the game's main content only vs. the hardest optional content. I am pretty satisfied with my responses, though.
Okay, I immediately recognized her as Cere from the SW Jedi games, but looked her up some more and she was Winnifred in Date Everything AND The Houndmaster in DBD? The RANGE. The TALENT. What an icon.
I swear, at least 90% of the disastrous decisions made by video game companies in the last 10 years has been execs trying to churn out the next infinite money printer and sacrificing anything they can if they think it'll get them there.
What if they hate their name? I know it can be changed later but the damage to trust may already be done. 😳
Thank you so much for the lovely raid! Always good to see your handsome face! ♥️
Y'know, I have some opinions on this post of yours...
This is absolutely true. Like, I'll still get my usual lurkers but people stay on lurk because they don't want to be spoiled. As a result, the chat is quiet and I don't get much new viewership. I still love playing new games but it's a trade-off for sure.
That's a perfect vibe for today. We had burritos.

Chat was DETERMINED in their voting for next month's game, so Mario Galaxy 2 won the chat game by a landslide. So yeah, this is the March lineup! Should be an eclectic month.
Gaymer prepares to play Resident Evil: Requiem (2026)... Groundbreaking
I know there's a lot of hype around some other game today, but I'm hopping back to Raccoon City for RE: Requiem! Twitch.tv/FrogBeleren
Strategically voting for the survivor's name to be Imogen so curious people will look up the name and discover Imogen Heap.
I don't care how many water lizards we've had, I STILL LOVE HIM.

I've had this game on the shelf for 3 years. Time to finally give it a go!

Sometimes DBD is just silly. (Featuring the worst spins in history.)

It was truly a glorious experience start to finish. Sometimes a game just completely nails it.
I'm SO excited for NEVA. Not sure when I'll get to it, but it's definitely on my list!
This past weekend I played GRIS, and it was a magical and lovely few hours. Highly recommended that you play it for yourself, but my playthrough is now up on YouTube as a backup option.

Last week, I played Reanimal with my husband. And now our playthrough is up on YouTube. This game was a crazy good time.

The loss of a good sandwich place is a true tragedy.
I use games like this as my "bedtime games" They're relaxing and I can't play more than an hour or so before I get tired and have to go to sleep. Cus if I let myself start playing earlier in the day, I lose the whole day to it.
I'm a big proponent of the 30 hour game.
I'm accustomed to getting absurd songs stuck in my head, but currently it's Steve Martin's ridiculous patter song from S3 of Only Murders in the Building and that's a bit much, honestly.
Ok, so that post was about Crimson Desert and chat, I need help. What do we think? It's giving "too good to be true" like crazy but like, what if? Do we think it's actually going to be good? Or is it overhyped?
I maintain either way that the particle effects in the combat are distracting.
Future generations are going to look back on this era of gaming and wonder wtf was with all the over the top particle effects.
That is SUCH a shady statistic. I was like "ok game way to judge me."

Live with @hgmoose.bsky.social for some Valentine's day Reanimal!
