I’m glad you asked!

I didn’t really like the aesthetic at first so I was on the fence.

It’s 3D, and most things take up more space with plenty of them taking some height as well. This makes the builds a bit more complex in a fun way. Also, the scaling is wild. You need a LOT more shapes, so you can duplicate or make more efficient things, ship them by train eventually, really makes it feel like a different game by the end than it does in the start.

They have a huge content update coming June 2 as well

Frostpunk 2 is a really interesting one to me.

I LOVED the first game. Soundtrack on in the background sometimes, liked the board game (just manual meh balance FP1), got all the achievements, really enjoyed it.

The second IS a good distinction from it, it’s not just rinse and repeat the same game. Great story, epic music, different scale and problems. It’s just like… They took the second tier of ideas they had for FP1 and implemented them. It actually probably would have been a good game if it didn’t have those footsteps to follow in.

Surprisingly, a few recent sequels have been amazing. Shapez2 is an unbelievable follow up to the OG. Hades II is the same imo. Massive, beautiful, fun distinction in gameplay, but still great ideas and balanced and such.

Monster Train 2 is great in demo, Kingdoms 2 crowns is a bit less recent but is such a great follow up to what’s effectively an arcade game in the first. It’s not all downhill or anything

Also silksong wen

I have a Raspberry Pi 500 running PiOS that works well like a computer to just play things in browser. No ads or anything of course. But also no casting from a phone or anything

Sure did. Repairable ones. I strongly prefer wired headphones and will keep using them as I can, and I ain’t buying earbuds.

But I’d rather not let perfect be the enemy of good. I am not giving up a cellphone, so I’d rather have Fairphone trying (ans sometimes fucking it up) than give my money to anyone else in the market.

Them not being perfect in my eyes doesn’t qualify as a hostile relationship between their corporation and me.

I have VERY few and I cherish them.

Fairphone feels great to me. I think My coffee stuff is the same (Profitec, Eureka Mignon); no app or wifi or anything, fairly available spare parts.

My friends and I loved your demo and can’t wait to play the whole release

I love FFT ad FFTA but come on, give us a new one sometime. We’ve had like 10 remakes and ports of FFT

I’ve been struggling without public transportation in Organic. It kinda works? Like it shows the path but doesn’t actually show the stops or station names

Don’t have to actually visit them if you browse reddtastic instead!

We do a lot of archipelago (A9O as we call it, cuz it’s shorter to write and there’s 9 letters between… Hoping it catches on).

Factorio is a staple in it. Minecraft too!

Yeah, it’s 1.0 now and has a lot of content for the price/dev count

Just grabbed Thronefall and have been playing on the Deck a lot. It’s really fun; tower defense meets RTS with great economy. You’re always debating defenses vs scaling and some of the challenges are downright hard

Yeah, especially switching between Xbox and Nintendo mapping with A and B swapped

I don’t have a solution, just pain as well

I mean the DS was pretty radical at the time.

I feel like Nintendo does a huge innovation, then an iteration or two(or a bunch of little changes), then back to a big change. Wii/WiiU, GB/GBA, DS/3DS, switch/2

The second Ori game’s story is so good and absolutely had me and my wife bawling during it

Wow, that’s very fast imo. Good for you!

Great randomizer out there for it. And it’s Archipelago compatible so you can mix it in with other randomizers alone or with friends, in case you want more!

They also introduced Watcher late. No guarantee the 4 characters here are the only characters

Your title is hilarious

The fact that me and a coworker can’t both share our screens at the same time is absolutely batshit. 1x1 collaboration isn’t even reasonable, nevermind anything more

I was hoping that’d be a Dan video. He has another one about how it’s Rude to Suck at Warcraft, which I found enlightening on how things have changed in WoW
