I’ve been replaying Dragon Quest 8 (PS2) on my Steam Deck, and it just fills me with joy. Except for the absolutely bonkers choices they hardcoded for buttons and camera movement. Ah, good times.

What a horrible parry input!

I only care if the new guy gives me back the content I paid for when the game first came out.

I think once I accidentally made a microblog when I meant to start a thread in a magazine? It felt super vague and I basically haven’t bothered making too-level posts since. I just lurk and post snark.

Can’t wait for myself to buy this in a new package with other half-assed Mario ports for $60.

I have no self-control. 😥

Shocked, but thrilled. But also VERY shocked. But in a good way.

Wasn’t PoE exactly this, but for Diablo 3? Apparently the Diablo series just spawns community-built competitors each generation now?

I work at a company which doesn’t make games, but interacts with a lot of game devs, and employs a lot of ex-game devs; and everyone I work with is either glad they got out of game dev or glad they skipped it altogether.

I used to work for a very reasonable (smaller) game studio, and while it was fun, I still got a massive pay and quality-of-life improvement by changing careers away from making games.

Thank you for this. I had the same impression, and was starting to get annoyed; but if it comes with more features out the gate, then that’s nice!

So glad I found out about them a couple years back when the new Senua sequel announcement trailer hit and I just NEEDED to know more about that song they used.

I hate that feeling of knowing I need to do something and wanting to start, but actually doing it is like my body and mind are weighed down by concrete.

If not experiencing those things would dramatically make your life better, might go see a psychiatrist about evaluation?
