I like that they experiment around a lot, it probably keeps the work from getting dull for them too with how long they've been working on this game. This studio might be my favorite, they're great with their community and any problems I have with the game's systems or mechanics (pets, arcanes, under-performing frames, operators, etc.) end up getting fixed. It's always improving and giving me something to come back to that makes the game feel fresh, even after about a decade of on and off playing!

Eesh, reading the comments and the immature modlog response is disappointing, that was actually an interesting and respectful discussion in a community that doesn't seem to have any activity. It seems like lemmy as a whole is just falling into the same issues non-federated discussion/social media have at this point with moderation and communities. It's like there's no real solution; the less people there are, the more insular and detached the community and its moderation is, but the more people there are, the more generic and poor quality the discussion becomes. There's a lot of communities like that one too that you can see aren't really communities, but just a few people posting over and over to prop it up as one. Then the minute there's some discussion from a new person, they're removed.

I will say communities about wildlife and science, like the ones on mander.xyz, are consistently good. Seems to be an exception. Maybe it's because it attracts people who want to learn and discuss things they're passionate about? Maybe some topics are just doomed to fail no matter where their communities are. I'm going on a tangent now, but I'm just tired of every space on the internet being like this, even the ones meant to break away from it. Honestly Beehaw as a whole is pretty good though, I did stop using this account since the announcement about it leaving but it still seems to be going strong!

WindowKill - $4.99

The most clever bullet hell I've ever played, best experienced on mouse and keyboard.

Windosill - $2.99

More of an interactive art piece. Very short but I still think about it years later. (Some of their other stuff is available online for free and is similarly enjoyable)

Magic Wand - $3.99

Like a surreal, jumbled mess that seems to parody a badly translated JRPG. Another short and sweet experience.

HYPER DEMON - $14.99*

Like a nightmarish fever dream. If you like old school FPS mechanics like rocket jumping and bunnyhopping you'll feel right at home. This one is a little difficult to show people gameplay of because it looks impossible to decipher, but when you're actually playing it and really start to get entranced, it's an experience like nothing else. The way it gives you a 360 fov is an incredible mechanic.
*(It's also 40% off for ~40 hours as of this comment, making it $8.99)

Chicory: A Colorful Tale - $19.99

My favorite game of all time. Adorable puzzle game where you paint the world, with a story about what makes someone an artist. One thing I really like about this is the open ended way it lets you approach creative tasks; It's up to you to decide how much you want to invest, there's no scoring system to gamify the art portions, which is very in-line with the story to me.
Edit: Oh, and a great soundtrack by Lena Raine!

I don't see it here so I'll mention Ty the Tasmanian Tiger! Really fun collectathon platformer. Played through the more recent remaster on PC and realized it's very easy, but I spent a huge amount of time as a kid just running around the maps and hub area.

Honestly I get lazy and skip the pre-heat and fairness cup, then it's even faster/easier than brewing in a pot!

Also tea people should check out !tea@possumpat.io! The only tea community I'm aware of on lemmy. Though it's super inactive right now; I should probably contribute...

Yeah I drink tea, now what am I supposed to believe in?

Tristan Newcomb? I get all my gaming news from him. His Donkey Kong Country review is great.

Transcendental Youth - The Mountain Goats

Title track and closer of one of my all-time favorite albums. The horns are just perfect and the lyrics are beautiful. Makes me think of those little moments of getting lost in something good during bad times, a short escape you know won't last.

[–] Serz@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but you'd have to write it across like, 10 post-it notes along the top of your monitor. That'd get expensive!

Idk someone could probably brute force it in only a few trillion years, I'd make it longer if you plan to be using Twitch long-term.

[–] Serz@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Looking up local stuff definitely seems best. Lots of good wildlife rehabs around me, that's usually my go-to.

I spend 1/3rd of my life asleep, and the pillow would guarantee that third is good and memorable. Absolutely the pillow.

 

I love Pinc Louds and try to share them with my friends as much as I can, they're so unique and energetic! "Watching Snow" is my favorite song of theirs, but this one has a fun music video to introduce people with so I went with it. They really are a special group and I hope this reaches some new fans!
