Interestingly I think the 2D Zeldas aged less than the early 3D ones. ALttP is pretty good to this day.

I’m almost certain this is why so much blurring and flare was pushed as “realism” a couple generations ago. The devs and artists needed their eyes checked.

As someone that already has to deal with a somewhat blurry perception, I don’t want any more of that, ever.

The games really need an option to just turn off tutorials. I imagine it’s a little bit trickier than that because they need to be designed in a way a small child won’t accidentally turn it on without realizing. But there must be a way to do it.

Persona 1 and 2. As a Persona fan I see some people saying how great they are, and the story does seem interesting, but I can’t deal with that map movement, battle system and endless random battles.

Really, any RPG with random battles is a little harder to get into compared to overworld monsters you can avoid or target at your own pace.

As always, waiting for sales.

Looking forward to Baldur’s Gate 3 and its horny crazy shenanigans, Cyberpunk 2077 now that it’s in better shape and I have a PC that can run it decently. Hi-Fi Rush is definitely on my list, rhythm action is a cool genre. I might go for Elden Ring if the price is good, see if I’m going to finally like a single souls games or if I’ll bounce off that one too.

Still waiting for a rare chance at a 33% off on Smash Bros Ultimate and who knows Wario Ware Get It Together.

Same. It looks adorable but the price is a little too high for me.

Palia is decent for a farming sim but kinda barebones for its MMO aspirations. It needs more content. I wonder how it’s going to handle end game content without getting repetitive. For what’s worth, it’s free, so trying it a little comes at no cost.

It’s reductionist, but it gets to the point that it’s not an abstract everlasting resource, it’s a system that’s not under your control, so it might not be always reliable. So people should be wary of service discontinuations, rules and price changes.

The point can be distilled even further, the cloud is someone else’s.

I can definitely understand being annoyed by too many options, the Paradox of Choice is simply a limitation of our brains. But what I find it interesting that the cutting line is after Facebook/Meta jumped into in. They weren’t saying Mastodon was enough Twitter alternatives.
