I don’t see many people ever really talking about them at all outside of fans, but Krosmaga and One More Gate from Ankama.

Krosmaga is a deck builder autochess like game (with something like 9 or 10 different classes/dieties with different abilities to build around, alongside a bunch of non-specific cards any class could use in their deck). Place summons/spells to protect your Dofus (dragon eggs, to simplify what they are) and destroy theirs. Matchmaking is either play against computer, who randomly selects class and gets default deck, or just flatout random player. Don’t think there’s any selective matchmaking, sadly.

One More Gate is a short enough roguelite game where you accidentally destroy a portal and have to fix it by beating bosses in new areas, usually after multiple failed runs. Has meta progression, which I personally am not the biggest fan of.

Energetic music in general does it for me.

Songs like Old Hat (Harvey Danger), Brother John (Blues Traveler), 8:02PM (For Squirrels), etcetera.

Though songs I associate with warmer times also tend to work for me.

Don’t know if anyone else is like that, so I don’t know how helpful this is.

Got addicted to AudioSurf 2 over the weekend. Have a small handful of songs on microSD on deck and it’s pretty fun. Otherwise, did some Shotgun King and not much else besides Shattered Pixel Dungeon on my phone. This quarter of college has kinda drained me because of 2 freaking classes I hate.

Don’t know what service you go through or where, buty parents have had the unfortunate pleasure of recording some things (don’t remember what because I don’t pay attention to the TV often anymore of I can help it) through Xfinity and have fast forwarding through the small commercial breaks feature disabled.

I don’t watch it, but I definitely second hand consume it because my parents still watch cable. I don’t really have a choice either since most every night I’m helping cook dinner while my dad watches his nightly reruns of MASH and Emergency (unless it’s something else for a change). The ads aren’t extremely unbearable because they’re aimed at middle-aged to elderly people like my dad, but I don’t care for them.

I personally don’t mind sarcasm online in text form because without that /s I might not even know you’re being sarcastic since my sarcasm meter is set to slightly above autism mode due to practice.

I haven’t seen things that’ll blow you away with how weird they are. Just things like old antique standing doll figure things or the odd looking mug.

Coming out of left field, I’ll have to go with the number 22. Absolutely hate that number to death. Used to show up all the time when I was growing up, so I’ve learned to be a 22 hater. I’ll go to war with that number and nuke it to death before admitting it’s a good number.

I personally have a soft spot for 2D platformers from the Sonic series since I got a copy of the Sonic Mega Collection on gamecube when I was young and loved it. I don’t care if some games do a better job of having worlds where they’re speedy like Green Hill or slow like Carnival Nights (or whatever it’s called), I just like running across the screen. Same thing applies to the 3D games (even the flop I still think was a pretty good game: Sonic '06). Hell, I’m the type of guy who absolutely loves the beat-em-up style gameplay they introduced in Unleashed just for the Werehog sections. The gripes I tend to have are more or less either skill issues or being unable to play around the glitches in the case of '06 (despite not having played it in over a decade).

I’m also big on the Ratchet & Clank style 3D shooter platforming (only played 1, 2, size matters, Into the Nexus/Pirated Booty, and am only in the beginning of deadlocked). I love some of the more wacky weapons (plasma whip, bouncer, black hole gun, etcetera) you can get in the series, which allows me to not get ultra bored part way through the games. The stories also capture me, for the most part, in a first playthrough. They’re not something I take super seriously, so I tend to have a good time with them. Probably my biggest gripe with the game, from what I can remember about Into the Nexus, is how short it felt in comparison to the original trio and size matters. Getting a copy of the first in the PS3 series of games soon, so I cannot wait.

I also had a pretty good time this year with Corn Kidz 64, a shorter platformer that plays like an n64 title in how it controls. Fun enough mechanics but my biggest gripe is how in the end I was left wanting more, in a “I want a sequel” fashion.

Though I did have the misfortune of playing Macbat 64 this year too. It just felt too generic and shovelwear, in my opinion, for me to like it. Play as a bat in small levels with simple puzzles and not much exploration, random mario kart inspired race level in the middle of the game, and also a 2D level based on kirby. I don’t remember the story being much better either. Personally not a game for me.

I personally view hardware as the devil, so we’re kinda opposites in that regard.

I’m only in my mid-20s and sometimes feel pretty damn old. Proper body care is important. Don’t be pretty lazy and fairly sedimentary like me.

Mileage will vary. I have gotten a lot better when it comes to tech (mainly software) in the past 3 years, as someone who is only in the middle of his 20s.

Here on Lemmy is my favorite considering that’s what I use most on the Fediverse. Second would be the only other one I use: Mastodon.

After last night, most certainly I wish I took French in highschool so I could be taking French now in college. Just to move out of the USA and to greener pastures like Switzerland. Haven’t heard any bad news about them going fascist yet.

Stumpt

They’re a group of 4 people who play games together, but aren’t the super energetic and annoying type of content creators. You know the type I’m talking about. Plus, Stumpt usually seems to play a lot more indie games or every once in a long while anymore they may go back to m!neceraft for a mod pack.

This took me longer than it should have for me to understand what she meant… I am slow…

I’d love to see 沙耶の唄 (Saya no Uta/Song of Saya), a pretty mildly disturbing visual novel, as a short animated couple episode series. I’d love to see how they animate how the main character sees the world with his meat vision.

I know Halloween is technically over for pretty much anyone, but I personally really enjoy The Evil Eye and The Hideous Heart by Alan Lee Silva. It’s a string orchestra piece that if I remember correctly is based on The Tell Tale Heart.

Base stat total. I really don’t care too much for all these different acronyms, but I watch a fair bit of pokemon challenge content so I hear it more often than I care for.

Results do vary, but if we’re talking that universal vocal remover, it definitely seems to be a competent enough program.
