Hey, I’m in this picture!

Throw in some MMM and Deadly Reflex and we’re cooking with gas!

Unfucking the leveled lists and automatic leveling or everything in general was one of the first things modders did back when the original Oblivion released as well. Appropriately nostalgic perhaps that it still needs to be done in the remaster too.

I feel like it’s morally correct to pirate Nintendo games at this point.

Nintendo is not getting another red cent from me until the day I die.

It sadly can’t replace all the other things Discord does, but if all you want is low-latency VOIP with good sound quality - Mumble’s your man.

This is certainly a game that is best played blind. Peeling back the mysteries is so rewarding and there is a lot more under the surface than you think at first.

I don’t think there are many puzzles relying on foreknowledge. Most of the puzzles also have clues to be found later, sometimes clues leading to other clues, so if you can’t find a solution to something right away I recommend just moving on for the moment and coming back later, doing other puzzles and investigations in the meantime. Exploring and figuring things out, both in terms of puzzles but also narrative is the whole game so just take it slow. You’re not meant to solve everything in one run, but gradually learning and making progress over time. Contrary to what the intro video suggests there is no time limit, so there is no rush.

Also: take notes. I have filled out like 30 pages of notes at this point. This is a very satisfying game to take notes of, making connections and spotting details.

This is one of those rare Obra Dinn/Outer Wilds type games that only pops up once every couple of years. If you’re into that sort of thing you should absolutely jump on it right away, it’s spectacular.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how likely does this make it that old Oblivion mods will eventually become compatible with the remaster?

Mumble is where it’s at.

Still wrestling with Blue Prince and still as enthralled with it as I was last week. It’s such a clever, beautiful, unique and interesting game.

I’m finally starting to glimpse the finish line at the horizon now after having been in the endgame for about a week. Still a couple of puzzles left to solve, still a couple of unanswered questions left to investigate but I can feel how close I am now.

God damn it am I going to miss this game once it’s over. Experiences like this don’t come around often. If you like puzzles and mysteries and escape rooms be impatient for once and play this game. It’s extraordinary.

I think even in back 2012 an argument could be made quite easily, but it’s a shame Roger Ebert didn’t live long enough to see some of the games released over the past decade that quite convincingly demonstrate how video games can indeed be art.

I agreed with him very often but that was one instance of him having an inexplicably bad take.

I don’t follow any personally, but there are many out there. Browse by Channels on Twitch and search for the autistic tag and you’ll find a whole bunch of small streamers.

I used to watch Savannah Brown and she was great, but she hasn’t streamed for like two years now. Don’t think she’s coming back.

Well why not. Subscribed.

Thanks, I might check it out if it comes on sale. The first one already had some pretty… unintuitive puzzles, but that is basically just par for the course for the time period.

I like just about everything about it really. It’s beautifully shot, has moments of great humour and moments of great horror, I love the gradually increasing tension of the journey into the jungle and increasing descent into madness and absurdity.

It’s just a great film. I think I prefer the Redux cut but both are good really. The documentary Heart of Darkness about it is also truly amazing.

I heard this is supposed to be the best Larry game, is that true? I only played the first one (well, the remake) but this is pretty cheap on GOG sometimes. Worth playing?

Cliché answer perhaps but I do love Apocalypse Now. Was a very formative movie experience for me.

It is the best written video game ever and it’s not particularly close either. It’s one of the best written pieces of media I’ve ever had the pleasure of consuming.

Used to use Sync and I still prefer it in a lot of ways, but I can see the writing on the wall what with ljdawson not having reared his head for well over a year. That app will stop working when Lemmy 1.0 rolls out.

Switched over to Summit and I’m slowly getting used to it. Still missing some features and options and having some bugs, but overall it’s good and I think it will grow into being the best app for me in the future.

I haven’t had time to play as much the past couple of days, but when I do I am similarly entralled by Blue Prince. It’s going to be very hard for another game to pip it for game of the year for me I think.

It’s so full of mysteries, so full of intricacies, so full of interactions and puzzles within puzzles. The narrative and lore is great too. I really do love every single element of it. Even the basic gameplay of the roguelite portion is so well done that you are always just fiending for one more run, the dopamine rewards of drafting a satisfying house really just tickles your brain just right.

Seriously, if you haven’t already then go play it.

As a fellow Blue Prince addict I will take any chance to recommend others to join my obsession. Game is absolutely wonderful and everyone should play it!
