good (but old) indie game
Thanks for reminding me, Polu dm'd me that but I forgot to add it
tell Polu you prefer this to Spelunky
Apparently I own the sequel to this
I guess now I own both
it's a weird series
it changes genre with every game
and every time the devs seem to be close to making a great one, they take 10 steps back
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 tell Polu you prefer this to Spelunky
retard take
they're basically the same game tbh
Steamworld Dig 1 > SteamWorld Dig 2 > Spelunky 2 > Spelunky Flash >>>> Spelunky 1
Spelunky would be improved with checkpoints and a hub town
what can I say
and who needs a timer
Both games would be improved with a loli protagonist
and a frog gun
stil don't know what gamergate is
Zoe Quinn made an awful vn called depression quest, which 5 journalists wrote puff pieces over. People discovered she was sleeping with them, raising questions about ethics because this was back when people still thought somewhat highly of journalism
the response from journalists, instead of firing these people, was a coordinated attack which led to an article "gamers are dead, games don't have to be your audience" coming out
This confused and pissed people off, and it spiraled into gamergate
This is the tldr of the catalist of gg
Hell yeah
I want you to know, I just woke up and am still in bed, and phone posting the history of gamergate was my first activity of the day
i don't know pika, on wikipedia it says that all of those claims were false.!
However this article must be mistaken, as it seems to be implying that reddit was on the side that was wrong, which surely cannot be true.
this page is extra true you can tell because it has the lock sign meaning that they already found all the correct information
If people want to do more minor testing, I can be around in 5
I learned about this today as a alternatives to sudoku for hints
https://github.com/HintMachine/hintMachine
What we have learned is while I can "do" rabi-ribi, the nature of the game makes it awful to do for AP because the entire world is open so I have to run around everywhere to find people stuff
so I am switching off the game and will play something else
to the surprise of no one
that Balatro word game is really bad
as someone who plays a lot of word games, the letter balance is bad (that can be fixed if they care)
but the overall structure isn't fun, there isn't any way to build your bonuses around anything other than longer word == more points
and none of the letter upgrades are creative at all
if they had tile upgrades and better bonuses, maybe it could work, but even then I think it would be hard
it's also just, not very polished, basic QoL stuff like letter rearranging
no idea, but they have multilingual support
so I assume it's just all the international scrabble ones

Broussard sold a publishing studio, he's not just any "insider", if he's saying this it's 100% true
I can't imagine a 10-20% cut isn't closing some whole studios
so let's see what survives
A shame it probably won't be the studios that would deserve it
Damn
