I’ve gotten easily $200 worth of value out of it, and if mine broke I’d buy another one. Sometimes niche things deserve the extra price. It’s more of a problem of the world draining everyone’s disposable income for niche things like these.

I fly several times a year and haven’t really noticed that? I usually sit towards the back anyways though.
Absolutely. Procedural generation is not the same as AI generated. Spelunky’s level generation is great and the different combinations of hand-created rooms with smart rules on how they connect. Unexplored (that’s the name of the game) is a full on multi-level dungeon with puzzles and combat. Proc gen gives these games their life, but designing a good proc gen system is level design unto itself.
Definitely agree with everything you said… Except that Souls games are Metroidvanias. Backtracking is really the only thing that most souls-likes share with Metroidvanias. Unlocking gameplay abilities that also function as environmental keys is the main defining feature of Metroidvanias IMO.
I also really enjoyed it! Kinda felt mid about the story but the setting was phenomenal. The DLC is VERY good and I highly recommend it.
How is that NOT a shit post? Are memes required to be high effort?
While true that Colorado is beautiful, it is an absolutely car-centric state that’s far too much sprawl and not great public transportation options. Denver is also not really a pretty city - it’s covered in freeways and interstates and the traffic is always bad.
There’s finally some movement to get a train that goes from Longmont down to Denver with a few other stops by 2029, but everyone is pretty incredulous that it’ll happen.
If you have a lot of DRM free games and want to have your own backup copies and be able to easily share them with your household, this does that. It isn’t for hosting games you buy through Steam or other DRM-protected platforms. It’s for giving you an interface to easily search and download your own library of games that you could get from a bunch of different sources, so you don’t have to go look up your credentials that you used to buy the game to re download it.
To be fair, many people KNEW your character pre-amnesia. There are very valid reasons for many of them to treat your character like an asshole, because to be frank, he kinda was. This is a very big and very intentional part of the game. You’re also a cop coming to police an area that hasn’t seen a cop come around in literal decades.
Garte, the hotel manager, doesn’t like that you’re being incredibly loud and trashing your room. He’s a bit of an asshole, but honestly with good reason, and he comes around if you make an effort to apologize.
Lena, the Cryptozoologist, is really friendly and very charming.
Cuno is a drugged out kid, he’s supposed to be absurd.
If anything, Kim is impossibly accomodating and patient with you. Even if you’re an asshole to him. There’s a reason people love him and call him “best boy” because he’s got these little windows into his personality even through his stiff police exterior.
There are some actual racist assholes in the game, but I feel very confident in stating that the vast majority of the characters are not assholes.
Because it’s an opinion article and maybe it’s OK for the author to make an subjective statement of the quality of a thing they love? Like, if they really believe it, is it wrong to state that? Do they need to qualify everything in their article with “this is just my opinion, sorry if you don’t agree.”
I get being annoyed by hyperbole in articles, but I don’t really think that this warrants this kind of response. Sometimes it’s OK to make strong statements. You can make statements like that without implying that people who think differently are bad/wrong.
I mean, it’s ok to not get it? It really does sound like you just don’t get it. If your example of why it’s bad is a genuinely funny, absurd result of a failed check, it might just not be for you.
That’s a really bizarre read, how do you come to the conclusion that every character was a terrible person? Even amongst the first 6 or so people you talk to, most of them are decent people living in a very poor area. I usually hate media where everyone is an asshole but DI is so NOT that that I’m just… Confused.
The crank folds down into an extremely satisfying magnetic dock that it can sit in while not using it.
Also… These aren’t classic Gameboy games, they’re modern games made specifically for the device. The unique control mechanism is the niche, and it’s surprisingly fun to use. You just also CAN emulate Gameboy games on it. There’s people who have made e-readers for it too… Though… That’s where even i draw the line lol
Sounds like this isn’t your thing though, there are lots of Gameboy emulator powered handhelds if that’s all you’re looking for. If you want extremely unique gameplay by tons of small indie developers (including Lucas Pope of Papers Please), super easy to make games for (I’ve made 2 just for friends), really easy side loading, and something just fun to show people, it’s a super easy sell.
