That instantly makes me recollect CTRL Z, this 21-min comedic sci-fi short film.

I’d rather just play other games as I don’t feel good about doing that, partly because I don’t want to deal with any malware risk due to confidential information on my personal PC.

How is it possible to solve levels on harder difficulties in games like Unequal and Towers without cheating or guessing? I’d wanna see you solve a Towers or Unequal game on any of the harder difficulties live.

Thanks for the rundown. My biggest problem is that the literal only copy I have is from the DRM-free Humble Bundle from way back then (I gave away the Steam key to a friend of a friend), which is on a higher version than with what Multiverse is compatible, so I’ve never been able to play it all these years even though I’ve been itching to try.

I’ve sunk many an hour into Simon Tatham’s no-guess Mines, yeah, as well as Slant and various other titles from his free puzzle collection. Try Inertia!

Roguelites are the way, fam:

• Noita
• FTL: Faster Than Light
• Slice & Dice
• Death Road to Canada
• I’ve never actually played it yet, but maybe S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, or else possibly Infested Planet or RimWorld

I’ve been on Waterfox for years and see no reason worth changing for.

Oh.

I guess I was thrown off by the driver not actually smiling in the second frame. That really messed me up and wondered if there was something far more sinister underneath the detour lol. I’m thinking too much.

I don’t get it.

Rather, why are you unable to define it for yourself? It’s not that hard. Helping things towards balance (like helping any angry, sad, or greedy person to be less so, etc., or trying to heal a physical or emotional wound as appropriate) is a fine start.

FYI, the “O” in “GOG” is capitalized; it stands for “Good Old Games” as they originally made their claim to fame by modernizing access to literally old DOS, etc. games that are hard to run on modern PCs. It doesn’t stand for “of.”

With that said, yes, GOG should absolutely be prioritized, as well as itch.io.

You can revert the timestamp to normality but the process is convoluted and I don’t remember it as I only found our after uninstalling it.

I tried a bit of Aquaria but couldn’t get into it… Thanks for the Gato recommendation. I didn’t know it was CS-like.

Oh. It’s been literal years so I totally forgot that initialism, but while we’re at it, the second “C” in “CrossCode” is also capital.

It’s smooth as butter, yeah, but I think I would prefer a game focused on a different character class/weapon. I remember some progression of concepts but I guess didn’t really connect the dots (even though I don’t think I looked up a guide more than once or twice briefly).

If OoT could be made to look as good as TotK, that’d be something!

Not sure what “VRP” is unless you just mean ricochet puzzles, but mind you, I did play 95% of the game. It felt just too same-y after long enough (it was the plot and environment that had kept me going), and then I just gave up and finished through some YouTuber’s play-through and I confirmed that I had apparently quit at the start of the final dungeon, because it just felt like… more of the same timing-&-angling annoyances with no more originality. Zelda was far, far more creative and I think the game just could have done more with items or different weapons, or something, though I know much of it is based on your character being a specific class that was fixed pre-game… It just ultimately wore me down, sadly.

Right: *successor, not “sequel.”

Hmm… May I watch you stream Vagante sometime? I’ve been iffy over it for a year or more now because of those reviews. Let me see how you die LOL jk. This is also coming from a SoR fan, too!

Cave Story is undoubtedly the greatest Metroidvania made to date of which I know.

Too bad the developer duo basically disappeared… I had an idea for a 2-player sequel but they never responded.

I really hope the sequel does more with dungeons than just ricochet/geometry puzzles. CrossCode’s incessant use of those in dungeon after dungeon was what made me stop playing.
