every Metroid or Castlevania game, to the point metroidvania is a genre.

personally I prefer a laptop over a handheld but those should work decent too

that’s what I was implying I switched back in August

crawl, rounds, ship of fools, pico park (better with a large group), risk of rain returns (2 would also be good except that it doesn’t actually support local multiplayer, only online).

if anyone was looking for a good time to switch to PC, it’s now. some stuff will be harder but you’ll have steam sales and control over your own device (more than a console anyway, if your running windows you’ll still have to put up with Microsoft).

I was making a joke I’m not gonna check if I’m right first

starfield counts as “anything but”.

they really doing anything but making elder scrolls 6 huh

airborn empire is a fun city builder/resource management game

2 is absolutely worth it, but man 3 is probably one of my favorite games ever.

true, and it looks that good without trying to shove raytracing and stuff like that down your throat so it runs smoothly on real computers and not just Nvidia’s latest cash grab.

yeah the story isn’t amazing but everything else is the best ever made

anything that matters in that game is introduced or explained in it.

if you haven’t, please play just cause 3. it is genuinely one of the greatest games ever made and the entire premise is: ok here’s your grappling hook, parachute, wingsuit, bombs, and guns, now go blow up every thing and/or person with red on it. there is a story (and it’s decent) but who cares, you upgrade your shit by doing cool stunts and the main mode of progression is a how-much-shit-have-you-blown-up-in-this-area meter.

yeah I wish there was more optimization, but upscaling is still an awesome tool to get extra capability out of older hardware

ofc optimization is still needed, I meant that upscaling improves the maximum you could reasonably get out of your hardware. I’d also like to see actual low options come back bc it’s really annoying not being able to turn the graphics down anymore.

thronefall is a fun little TD/RTS style game with a nice visual style and good rouglite-esque progression.

yeah the aesthetic of the game is perfect

mastodon is already the next twitter, bluesky is just a direct copy of it with nothing keeping it from going the same way. mastodon is open source (can’t be corpoed), federated (can talk to other platforms/instances so being on a small one doesn’t hurt anything), and most importantly, uses a protocol that doesn’t make self-hosting impossible due to storage requirements.
