Man, I wish I could go back to before i played Hollow Knight and experience it for the first time once again.

I finished Ape Out just last night, after a (you guessed it) loooong, stressful day at work. The final stage is, and I’m really trying to avoid spoilers here, simply fun, intense, and cathartic. I loved this game, and will probably try out the harder difficulties and the arcade mode next. Overall, it has been a great…

I find that whenever I take breaks (whether voluntary or not) with games, this happens to me. If I have to work over the weekends, or travel, or... well, anything, I end up struggling to get back into games. I’ve been able to avoid it (for the most part) with Octopath because... well, it’s on the switch and I love the…

The switch is so great for indies. I don’t think I’d have finished Hollow Knight if I hadn’t gotten it for the platform. I also happen to own A Hat in Time in PC because I accidentally kept my subscription to Humble Monthly... and I don’t know whether to play it on PC, or to just wait ‘til it’s on switch

A couple of weeks ago, I managed to get it to run properly but somehow it’s gotten worse. I’ll try window mode... which sucks, because I love playing on the TV and it just looks... off. Thanks!

I’m dying to try out Ape Out, honestly. A fast-paced hotline miami-like (?) game that you can finish in 5/6 hours is exactly what I need.

So he’s a fascist. Who could’ve guessed. Or cared, even.

I’ve been absorbed lately by “Delete delete” by BOOTS (who is not really my thing) featuring Run The Jewels (who definitely are).

I am so SICK of this film already and it hasn’t even been released yet.

I’m sort of OK with this. I mean, in an “I don’t live in the US and it’ll be kind of fun watching all of the gamerbros on r/thedonald hyperventilate and try to justify Trump going after their only identity” sort of way. Good luck to the rest of you, I guess.

Sounds pretty great. I finished FE Conquest a couple weeks ago and have given myself a few weeks before I start a new strategy game, but it’ll probably be the next one I buy. Thanks!

No, I haven’t. I have heard a few good things about it, though. Is it any good?

I’ve read a few comments talking about bank heists in games and I just realized I haven’t played The Swindle in a while, so that’s exactly what I’ll do this weekend. It’s tense, based on a very clever gimmick (you cannot re-do a mission if you fail and thus have to become greedier in the following heists) and…

Isn’t it indicative of SOMETHING that the person being accused the most of knowing (and tacitly allowing) Weinstein being a rapist is Meryl Streep, a successful woman who was already an established name before Miramax, and not Ben Affleck or Quentin Tarantino or the countless number of guys whose career Weinstein…

(Huh. Turns out I DID post on last week’s discussion.)

I really wanted to get Samus Returns this weekend since it’s been a whole year since I played through the -admittedly great- AM2R, TWO years since I completed Guacamelee and the cravings for a great Metroidvania (let alone a REAL Metroid) haven’t gone away. SR looks fantastic, the reviews are far better than what I…

Or GhostbustHERS. Damn, Sony should hire me. Or perhaps not.

Said the company that hired JJ Abrams.

I’ll probably end up doing that, yeah. I also have the feeling that Sonic Mania will end up doing fine on its own, while Samus will end up needing a bit more love from us fans. If only because we haven’t seen her for seven years and might end up not seeing her again for a long, long time.

Definitely egg-fried rice for me, on an almost pathological level. I’m spending an unhealthy amount of money on soy sauce, and it’s also not great for my daily intake of sodium but hey.
